OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY!!
First, school started up again so I didn't have time to update.
And second, I had no idea how to continue this story.
But now I do. :-)
Please Review.
It's clear, crisp morning in November.
And it's my birthday.
Ah, November 23, and 17 years old. Almost 18. And then I promise I'll be officially happy.
I've always thought that would be so romantic. To fall in love as a teenager and then get married when your 18. I don't know anyone who that has done that who hasn't been madly in love.
I wonder if I'll be getting married to Nick when I turn 18.
Oh here I go letting my mind wonder again.
Hmm…well…
I walk up to the front door to my house after a refreshing walk around town.
Sighing happily, I fling open the door.
"SURPRISE!!!"
My hand flies up to my mouth as I let out a gasp.
Suddenly the lights flip on and I realize everyone I know and love is there. I spot Taylor, Mandy and Demi, and even Selena cheering in one corner. I spot my parents, my brothers, and my sisters in another.
And there's Nick standing in a clump of my friends in the middle of the room.
But all I see is him.
"Happy birthday, Milerz!" yells Mandy.
"We love you, Miley!" Demi and Selena shout together.
"17 at last!" is all Taylor shrieks.
And I notice there are tears coming out of my eyes. Happy tears.
"Guys, hold up!" I speak up, wiping my eyes.
The room quiets and everyone turns there attention to me.
"Thank you guys so much", I say, my voice wobbly, "For this. For everything. Y'all are the best people in the whole world". As soon as I start to get emotional, I slip easily back into my southern twang. "And I know I don't always treat y'all the way you deserve to be treated. And sometimes I don't even deserve you guys. Because y'all are amazing. And I ain't lying when I say that I love you guys so much", tears well up in my eyes, and my voice gets high as I try to hold them back, "and that I'll never be able to repay you for this."
A few tears slip down my face, but I smile through them. "Okay. I'm done".
They laugh as they applaud.
And that's when he steps out of the clump, and walks towards me. Holding something behind his back. He is Nick.
And the room goes quiet again, except for a few excited whispers.
He looks straight into my eyes and smiles. "Miley", he says softly, "I love you so much. And I know were only teenagers, but Miley, I wanted to ask you if that, when the time comes, you'll promise to—"
But he's interrupted abruptly when Mrs. Grey bursts in through the door.
She looks around frantically for a moment, before spotting Nick and I. Mrs. Grey hurries up to us. I can see she's been crying.
"Miley, Nick, you need to come with me now. Danielle is in labor. She's at the hospital now. Kevin's with her", she struggles to say in one breath.
"What?!" Nick yelps, "But the baby isn't even due!"
Mrs. Grey's face crumples and she says in a small voice. "I know. That's why you need to come now".
Nick and I look at each other briefly. And then he reaches down and grabs my hand. "Let's go" he nods to his mother.
And the three of us are off, leaving the room, chattering in confusion.
Glancing at one another, Taylor, Mandy, Selena, and Demi, discuss what's going on for a moment before running out of the house to catch up with us.
I glance over at Nick who is still holding my hand.
But I notice that with his free hand, he is pushing a light blue Tiffany's box into his jeans pocket. It dawns on me that the box is just the right size for a ring.
I see a glimpse of the silky white ribbon wrapped around the box and then it's submerged in his pocket.
Suddenly we are in the backseat of Mrs. Grey's car, and everyone is yelling and asking questions, and panicking, and telling others to calm down, as we drive off towards the hospital.
But my mind is racing. And I wonder if whatever is in that blue Tiffany's box, is my birthday present.
Hmm…can you guess what's in the Tiffany's box? :-)
