Thanks again for the reviews you guys! Hope you're all having a great week, enjoy! :D


"Adam," Anna smiled, as the two walked into the restaurant. "You didn't have to do this, really," She said.

"But it's your birthday," He said, putting his hand to the small of her back and walking her to their table. "Your sixteenth birthday, I had to do something special." He told her as they both sat down.

She nodded. "I know, but after everything that's been going on with you and your dad…" He nodded. "I just wasn't expecting a big fancy dinner," She said and took his hand in hers. "But I'm glad you surprised me, it is my birthday, after all!" She said, only half-joking.

He laughed. "Well, you deserve it… you've been amazing to me these last few weeks, Annie," He told her and she smiled. "You really have changed, and I'm so proud of you." He said, brushing her face with his hand.

"I love you," she said, with a smile.

"I love you too," He told her. "A lot more than I ever thought possible," He said and she giggled. "You're so special to me and I won't ever stop loving you." She blushed and looked away. "Why don't we ditch this restaurant and go back to my place?"

She looked at him, her eyes widened. "Really? I mean… it's so nice here."

Adam shrugged. "It's whatever you want," He told her and she grinned.

"Hey waiter," She called. "Check please?"


Livvie collapsed onto her bed and sighed, watching as Dean took a seat on Connie's empty bed.

"This sucks!" She said, folding her arms over her chest. Dean nodded in agreement and Livvie sighed. "You know, this is partly our fault," She said and he looked at her. "If we hadn't been so stubborn about our feelings for Julie and Luis they wouldn't be going out in the first place!" She groaned. "This really sucks!"

Dean nodded and ran his fingers through his hair. "What are we gonna do?" He asked her and she shrugged. "What if they like… fall in love and we're left all alone?"

Livvie looked at him. "I don't think they'll fall in love," She told him. "Julie loves you and well… we all know how Luis feels about me," She said. "I just… I don't understand why their doing this!" She sighed and he sat next to her, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Liv," He said. "I'm sure everything will work out eventually…" He said, not knowing if he believed that himself. She shrugged and he laughed. "Don't stress over it."

"It's kind of hard not to, Dean," She said, looking at him. "I do owe you a million thank-yous though," She said.

"For what?"

"For being here for me… I don't know how I would have gotten through all of this without you," She said and he smiled. "You're my best friend in the entire world," She said and then sighed. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you though…"

He looked at her. "Oh yeah? What's that?" He asked.

She took a deep breath. "OK, well I don't know how to say it but…" She looked at him. "I love you," She breathed and his eyes widened. "Not like that!" She said and he laughed. "You know… not like a brother but not like a boyfriend… if that makes any sense." She said, laughing.

"Yeah, I get what you mean." He said, nodding. "I love you too," She looked at him. "Not like a sister and not like a girlfriend." She giggled. "I'm happy you're here with me." He said, hugging her.

She nodded. "Me too."


Anna snuggled to Adam's side, as the two lay next to each other in his bed. She was so happy in that moment, like everything was perfect… Nothing could ruin this.

She smiled as he kissed her head. "I love this," She told him, rubbing her legs against his. "Being here with you… it's perfect."

Adam smiled. "I feel the same way." He said. "I wanna stay like this forever."

"Me too." Anna said, but sighed when she heard her cell phone ringing. "Shit!" She shouted, looking at Adam. He groaned. "I'm sorry, baby!" She said, quickly jumping out of the bed. "It could be my dad, he's coming home from his business trip today…" He trailed, reaching for her phone.

Adam nodded, turning over in the bed and burying his face in his pillow.

"Hello?" She picked up. "OK, yeah… I'll be right there." She said, sighing. Adam groaned again. "I'm sorry! He said it was important and that I need to come home." She said, pouting. "Come with me?"

He nodded and got out of bed. "Fine." He said, kissing her temple as he walked past her to get dressed.

She did the same and the two made their way to Anna's house. They walked inside and found Scott and Casey sitting on the couch.

She raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?" She asked, sitting down across from them, Adam joined her.

Scott looked at his daughter and sighed. "We have something important to tell you." He said. "We've already told Charlie and he… well he stormed out, but he'll be back."

Anna narrowed her eyebrows. What was so bad that would make Charlie want to leave? "What is it?" She demanded.

Scott sighed and looked at Casey but she just looked at Anna. "We're getting divorced, honey," Adam immediately took hold of her hand.

Anna looked at them. "What?" She said, shocked. She only knew Casey for three short years but she stil loved her as though she was her own mother. "But, I don't get it… Why would Charlie be angry about that? He hates dad!" She turned to her father. "No offence."

Scott shook his head. "That's not it," He said, shaking his head. Anna raised an eyebrow and Scott sighed.

"Will you just freaking tell me what's going on, please?" She demanded.

"You have a sister," Anna's eyes widened even more. "I just found out a few weeks ago,"

"What? Who is she?" She asked, dumbfounded. Who knew that all this was going on and she didn't even know about it.

"Her name is Olivia and she goes to your school…" He trailed. "Her mother, Vanessa, and I… we dated in high school and she was pregnant but all this time she said it wasn't mine when it really was…" He trailed.

Anna shook her head in disbelief. "Olivia? As in… Livvie Simms?!" Scott nodded. "NO! That can't be true!" She said, turning to Adam. "It can't be!"

"I'm so sorry, honey… I know this is all a huge shock for you," Scott said, shaking his head. "I love Vanessa and I've been with her all this time and when she told me Olivia was my daughter I knew I had to break things off with Casey," He explained. "It's all very complicated, sweetie, but we're going to be moving in with them at the end of the month."

"WHAT?" She shouted, this time standing up. "That can't happen, dad! Livvie hates me!"

"Well, she'll have to learn to love you, you're sisters." Scott said, firmly.

Anna shook her head. She got up and left with Adam chasing after her. Her birthday had just gone from perfect to completely horrible.


Julie and Luis were both so utterly unsatisfied with the way things had gone with Livvie and Dean that they had gotten drunk and were now making out on Julie's bed.

She felt his hand go up her waist and she giggled, kissing him more. "This feels so… dirty!" She giggled.

He laughed. Sure, they had both drank alcohol before, but this was Julie's first time actually being drunk and she loved feeling so free to do whatever she wanted.

"Why don't we take it to the next level?" He asked, with a wink.

She took another sip of her beer and looked into his eyes. "Really?" She asked. "I've never…"

He shook his head and set her beer down on the floor. "Don't worry, I'll guide you through it." She smiled coyly, pulling him on top of her and kissing him. "Not that you need help or anything," He said, unbuttoning her shirt. "You look like you know what you're doing."

She grinned. "Shut up," She said, kissing him again.


Livvie pulled away from the hug and looked at Dean.

"We could never be together, you and me… right?" She asked. "I mean, that would be really weird?" He raised an eyebrow and nodded. "It's just today at the park when you were tickling me I thought we were about to…"

He looked at her. "Yeah, about that… Livvie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen," He sighed, rubbing his temple. He looked at her. "It's just that both of our hearts belong to other people right now, and if we were to kiss or anything like that… it would just complicate everything." She nodded, agreeing. "I just don't want to ruin what we have right now, because I like our friendship, a lot." He admitted and she laughed. "Why are you laughing?"

"Things have just been really weird lately, that's all." She said, shrugging.


"Anna!" Adam called after her. She was furious after finding out her dad was having an affair and that Livvie was her sister. He had no idea what was going through her mind but he didn't like where she was headed.

"Adam, you should go," She told him. "I'm on a very self-destructive path right now and I don't want you to see me do anything I would regret." She told him, wiping the tears out of her eyes.

"Anna," He sighed, catching up to her. "Where are you going?" He asked, grabbing her elbow to stop her.

"Tammy is throwing a party and I want to go and get drunk!" She shouted, pulling away from him and continued walking.

He sighed. "Do you remember what happened the last time you did that?"

She groaned and turned to face him. "Are you ever going to let me forget about that, Adam?" She shouted. "I've been paying the consequences the second you found out but it's getting a little old now!" She said, walking away.

Adam shook his head and stopped following her. Anna shook her head and entered the house, grabbing any alcohol she could find and chugging it as fast as she could.

"Anna!" Tammy squealed. "You made it!" She smiled but then frowned. "You don't look so good… Maybe you should find Adam-"

Anna shook her head. "You need to find me a hot guy right now!" She demanded. "Hurry, before I pass out."

"OK, OK!" Tammy nodded and quickly pulled one of Fulton's friends towards Adam. "Tony, this is Anna… Anna, this is Tony."

"Hi," He said, shyly.

Anna rolled her eyes. "He's hot but I would prefer someone who's already drunk, I don't have time to waste to make a bad decision." She said, placing a hand on her hip and taking another sip from her drink.

Tammy rolled her eyes and pulled Tony away, looking for someone else.

"You here alone?" Anna heard someone say. She grinned and turned around and smiled even more. He was hot and he looked way too old to be in high school, he was definitely a college boy. She smiled devilishly and nodded. "Wanna go upstairs?"

"Do you have any more of this?" She asked, pointing to her drink. He nodded and she smiled. "Then, let's go."

She pulled him by the hand and led him upstairs, planning to have fun.


Adam hated parties but he was desperate to find Anna. He did not want a repeat of the last time she was drunk. He spotted Tammy and ran over to her.

"Have you seen Anna?" He shouted over the loud music.

She nodded. "She went upstairs with some college boy!" She shouted back. "I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen to me!"

Adam sighed. "OK, thanks Tammy!"

He walked up the stairs and quickly checked every room until he came upon the one where Anna was. He sighed when he saw her about to take off her shirt in front of "college boy".

"OK, show's over," He said, walking over to Anna and pulling her shirt down. "Let's go, now." He demanded but she pulled away from him.

"No way," She said. "I'm having fun!"

"Yeah, man," He said. "She's having fun, who are you, anyway?"

Adam glared at him. "I'm her boyfriend, now you better go before I beat the crap out of you." He growled and the boy laughed. "I hope you know she's still in high school, she's fifteen, you disgusting asshole!"

He quickly stopped laughing and looked at Anna. "You told me you were in college!" He said.

She shrugged. "Sorry?"

He shook his head. "Whatever, I'm out." He said, leaving.

Anna pouted. "You ruin all the fun!" She said, leaning towards him and he helped her up.

"For God sakes, Anna," He sighed. "Why do you do this?" She shrugged. He shook his head and helped her out of the house.

He brought her back to his house and put her in his bed, hoping she would just sleep it off.
