Aaliyah woke up a chilly November morning; it seemed that as the school year got more under way her alarm clock got louder and louder. Aaliyah turned off her alarm clock and stretched in her bed. She let out a breath and a small smile spread against her face. Today she was seventeen; she couldn't wait what her special day would old. Her birthdays were usually all the same; wake up, have a special breakfast made by both Mom and Dad (all of her favorites) , cupcakes in her locker from her two best friends, happy birthday hugs from others, her birthday being known in glee, come home and have a special birthday dinner made both by Mom and Dad (all of her favorites). Aaliyah couldn't wait to enjoy this day. After getting dress and looking her best she headed downstairs for her birthday breakfast. When she got there everyone was already there eating as usual; she was always the last to come down for breakfast. When she entered the kitchen she smiled and said good morning waiting for them to say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIYAH" in unison. But…. They didn't, they didn't really say anything.
"Morning sweetheart" said Mercedes as she held Mark in her arm cradling him
"Morning Mom" replied Aaliyah
"How'd you sleep?" asked Mercedes with the smallest smile possible
"…Okay, I guess" said Aaliyah caught off guard
Something wasn't right; her family was treating this day as if it was any old kinda day. Aaliyah understood that there were six of them now and six birthdays would be easy to get gumbled up or to forget for a little. But her Mother and Father never forgot her birthday or her sibling's birthday. Well maybe her mother would forget but she knew for a fact that her Daddy would never forget her birthday.
"Morning Daddy!" smiled Aaliyah
"Mornin' Princess" said Sam not even looking away from the newspaper while taking a sip of coffee to look at his eldest
Aaliyah's face fell, something was really wrong. Not even Mary was giving her a 'happy birthday' and Mary loves birthdays. She couldn't believe that her family had forgotten her birthday

After being disappointed by her family Aaliyah headed to school. The whole car ride to school was silent; Isabelle didn't say a word throughout the ride which was odd 'cause she usually said a sentences or two and they would hold a small conversation before school. Maybe something was wrong, maybe she was in a fight with Autumn or Nial.
"Are you okay?" asked Aaliyah has she had one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on her lap as she cruised.
"I'm fine" replied Isabelle with no emotion what so ever as she was sending a text to someone
Aaliyah glanced at her with a concern look "Are you sure? You know you can always talk to me…right?"
"Yeah, I know. I'm fine" replied Isabelle with quickness
The rest of the ride to school was pretty awkward. Aaliyah was pissed at her family for forgetting her birthday, but she wasn't gonna let them ruin her whole day. She had friends and a boyfriend who she knew for sure wouldn't forget her birthday.
Aaliyah arrived at her locker with a smile, luckily Jamie and Summer were already there holding a conversation. Aaliyah couldn't wait to open her locker and get her cupcakes.
"Hey guys' what's up?" smiled Aaliyah
"Nothing much, it's just Wednesday" replied Summer with a small shrug
Summer had this thing of pretending like she forgot Aaliyah or Jamie's birthday. It had become a tradition in a way.
"Uh huh, it's just Wednesday" said Aaliyah with a small giggle as she opened her lock
Jamie and Summer looked at each other with strange looks. Aaliyah successfully opened her locker and gasp with a smile, but her smile soon left her face when she realized there was no cupcakes in her locker.
"What are you looking for?" asked Jamie with an arched brow
"My cupcakes" replied Aaliyah as she shuffled her notebooks in her locker in hope she would find a smashed cupcake
"Cupcakes? We only give you cupcakes on your…" said Summer but she didn't finish her sentences till later
"Birthday…Oh God is that today? We must of forgot" added Summer with a yikes look on her face
"Darn….well I guess will see you later. We gotta go" said Jamie leaving immediately after saying that sentences.
Aaliyah felt hurt, her best friends since birth forgot her birthday and they didn't even care. Aaliyah's eyes watered up a little, but she soon fanned her eyes. She wasn't gonna cry, not on her birthday; she refused. Suddenly Nathan arrived to her locker.
"Hey Babe" said Nathan leaning against the lockers next to Aaliyah
"Hey Baby, do you know what today is?" asked Aaliyah in hope that the man she loved knew it was her birthday.
"mmmmm, let me think…. Oh that's right today's the day that my Dad is gonna help me work on my car. I almost forgot; thanks for reminding me babe. You're the best" said Nathan giving her a small hug. "I gotta, I'll see you later" he added with a kiss on her forehead. And with that Nathan was gone.
This was really happening, everyone had forgotten her birthday. This had never happen before and Aaliyah was so unsure on how to act.

It was now the end of the school day and the day was half way over and no one not even one single person had said happy birthday to her. When she arrived not a single soul was there not even . Aaliyah checked her watch and she was on time. They couldn't possibly in the auditorium; there would have been a sign on the door saying to go there. After waiting a little one of the jazz players came walking in, it had seemed that he had forgotten his sheet music.
"Umm, excused me but do you know where everyone is?" asked Aaliyah
"There's no glee today" he replied
Aaliyah made a confused face, there was never no glee "do you know why there isn't glee?"
"No, I just know there isn't any glee" he replied turning away to leave her in the room by herself.
After sitting there for a little while Aaliyah hopped in her car and headed home. This had been the worst birthday; everyone important to her had forgotten it. She soon realized that she didn't even get a call from her grandparent or a happy birthday text from her Aunt Stacy and Uncle Stevie. Something was totally off but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Once she walked into the house she made herself known.
"MOM….DAD…I'm HOME" she said aloud
There wasn't a sound heard throughout the whole house, you could hear a pen drop. Aaliyah knew they were home because both of their cars were in the drive way to they had to be home. After searching the main floor and the upstairs she couldn't find a soul, so she decided to maybe look downstairs. She opened the door to the downstairs and began to go down the steps seeing that the light was on. When Aaliyah got the fifth to last step she heard a big group of people yell 'SURPRISE!'. Aaliyah nearly dropped out her skin when she heard the outburst. She saw all her friends and family with smiles on their faces doing spirit fingers after screaming 'Surprise'. Tears came to her eyes and she covered her faces so no one would see her cry. Nathan was the first to come up to her and hug her.
"Babe, do you like your surprise?" he asked softly as he hugged her.
She pulled away from him a little and looked at him "Was this your idea?" she asked
"It sure was…All him, he just told us what to do" said Kyle with a friendly smile
Aaliyah hugged him tight and uttered the words "I love you" as she held him
"Love you to" he replied placing a kiss at the top of her head
After pulling away from him she looked at all her friends and family with tear strikes on her cheek "I honestly thought you all forgot" she said wiping her face
"Are you kidding, we would never got your birthday" said Sam
"It was so hard not putting cupcakes in your locker" said Jamie with a small smile.
"You guys almost made me cry, you never not put cupcakes in my locker on my birthday" said Aaliyah
"Well were done torturing you, we all remember. Everyone here would never forgot your birthday" smiled Isabelle
Aaliyah looked around a smiled, she saw her parent, her siblings, her glee club, her grandparents, her Aunts and Uncles, everyone from Finn to Artie, even was there.
"Oh and there's two more people who wanna wish you happy birthday" said Sam pulling out his iPhone and within seconds Stacy and Stevie appeared on the screen (Facetime).
"Happy Birthday Aaliyah!" said Stacy and Stevie in unison
"Hi Aunt Stacy, Hi Uncle Stevie, thank you so much. I love you guys" said Aaliyah waving to the phone
"Were sorry we couldn't be there, but we will defiantly be seeing you for Christmas" said Stacy
"Promise?" asked Mary who now stood next to Aaliyah in front of the phone to look at her Aunt and Uncle
"Cross are hearts" said Stacy and Stevie in unison
"We love you guys and will see you soon!" said Stevie while waving goodbye
"Okay, bye" said Aaliyah blowing them a kiss
XXXXXX
The party was now in full swing and everyone was enjoying themselves Sam and Mercedes pulled Aaliyah aside to give her, her birthday present.
"Were very sorry for torturing you, but here's your gift sweetheart" said Mercedes
"Thanks Mommy and Daddy" said Aaliyah with a big smile as she took the rectangular box. She opened it and took of the wrapping paper. After taking away the wrapping paper she was looking at a light blue box, she couldn't believe she was holding a light blue box. She thought she was dreaming but when she looked on top of the box it read 'Tiffany and Co.'. Just reading the box nearly killed her; she pulled back the box and say a sterling silver necklace key. Tears were now in her eyes and she felt as if she couldn't breathe. She pulled both of her parents into a hug and said "I love you guys…I love you guys so much. Thank you! You're the best"
