July

"Wakey-wakey," said Lyllian's mother walking into the room.

"Uh…" said Lyllian.

"Don't you 'uh' me girl. You have a party to get ready for. Not get your ass up. Your friends will be here at noon," said her mom.

Lyllian got up and showered, putting on a pair of jean shorts and a bikini top. She pulled her hair back into a messy bun and went down to the pool to clean it.

While Lyllian was cleaning the pool Matt and Jeff showed up.

"Hey girl!" said Matt walking out on the back porch.

"Hey," she said still skimming the pool.

"Happy birthday," Matt said coming over to hug her.

"Thanks," she said.

"Yeah. Happy birthday," said Jeff hugging her.

"Where is Shannon and Shane?" asked Lyllian putting the skimmer away.

"Shannon will be here around one-thirty. He got in trouble this morning about something. And Shane…I don't know about Shane. I think he said he was going out with some of his Smithfield friends," said Jeff plopping down on a lawn chair.

"Oh. Okay," said Lyllian. "It is his birthday too."

"Don't worry about it. Jeff is enough entertainment for the night," laughed Matt.

"You know it," said Jeff.

"Well, Mr. Enough Entertainment, why don't you help me set up for tonight," said Lyllian throwing a towel at Jeff.

"But, it's your party," said Jeff in a mock whine voice.

"Yeah, and you're supposed to be my friend. Help!" said Lyllian.

Lyllian had Matt and Jeff hang lights in the trees that surrounded the pool while she and her mom set up tables for food and drinks. Shannon arrived a little after two and Lyllian put him to work helping Matt and Jeff hang lights.

"Looks good," said her mom.

"Eh…" said Lyllian.

" 'Eh'?" said Matt. "What you mean 'eh'"

"Eh," she said going into the house.

"She is in a mood," said her mom.

"Why?" asked Matt.

"Her god-father can't make it," said her mom. "That, and he was supposed to throw her a party 'fit for a princess'"

"A princess?" laughed Jeff.

"Yeah. That is what I said. But Bret calls her his little princess," said her mom fixing one of the table cloths. "I mean. She really only listens to him. Well, ya'll enjoy yourselves."

"That sucks," said Matt.

Jeff and Shannon started laughing. They had all decided not to tell matt that Lyllian's Bret was Bret Hart of the WWF.

"What?" said Matt.

"Nothing," said Shannon still laughing.

"Whatever," said matt. "Jeff, have you gotten her a gift yet?"

"Um…gotten as in 'bought', no. Gotten as in 'got bored and painted' yes," said Jeff.

"What about you Shan?" asked Matt.

"Naw. I still need to do that," he said.

"Come on. I am going shopping now," said Matt walking into the house.

Matt told Lyllian's mom that they would be back in time for the party then left to go shopping.

Lyllian sat on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Something interesting there?" asked Jeff walking into the room.

"No," said Lyllian.

"Nice room," said Jeff.

"Thanks," said Lyllian.

Lyllian's room has white walls that were painted with clouds and realistic birds of the area.

"It helps me relax," said Lyllian.

"It is really good," said Jeff looking at one of the birds. "You draw it?"

"Yeah," said Lyllian.

"What's up?" asked Jeff sitting at the foot of her four poster bed.

"Nothing," said Lyllian.

"Liar," said Jeff.

"Bret just let me down. He has been promising me since I was ten that he would throw me the best sweet sixteen party. And I could have whatever I wanted. Then he called last week saying that he wouldn't be here and that he couldn't do it," said Lyllian.

"You got to understand…" started Jeff.

"No, Jeff. Bret is the one person I have been able to count on for the majority of my life," said Lyllian sitting up to look at Jeff. "He has never once told me that he couldn't do something. Even if it was gonna cost him a lot. He has always come through for me."

"Lyl…I know it sucks, but be happy you even get a party. I prolly wont have one this year, 'cause I am too old'" said Jeff.

"Too old?" Lyllian said looking at him skeptically.

"Yeah. Dad says I am too old for birthday parties," said Jeff.

"Jeff, I have a feeling that no matter how old you get, you will have a birthday party," laughed Lyllian,

"Yeah. Probably," laughed Jeff. "Come on. It is too nice outside to sit in here and mope. UP!"

Jeff scooped Lyllian up off the bed and carried her out of her room and down the stairs and out to the pool.

"If you go back into that house, I will throw you in the pool, clothes and all," said Jeff sitting down next to her.

"Is that a threat?" said Lyllian looking at Jeff.

"Nope. A promise," he laughed.
