I'm so sorry this took so long! I was really busy with work and had horrid writer's block! Please forgive me!

Besides that XD The audio books are on YouTube. I'm here if you guys need to talk about anything. I'm also thinking about making a FB page for this Fanfic so I can actually tell you guys when there's a new chapter and I post new audio stuff.

Anyone think that would be nice? Would anyone actually like the page if I make it? XD - Blade

Before long it was Jillian's birthday. Her parents took her out to her favorite restaurant and then had cake later. It was normal like any other birthday she'd had. She was excited that she was now eighteen, but she secretly hoped that Jeff would show up. She had not seen him since he told her that he loves her.

That night, Jillian was putting away some new clothes that her parents bought her. She hung them on a few hangers and closed the door. When she turned around, Jeff was sitting on the branch of the tree outside of her window.

She froze, not really knowing what to do. She figured it would just be better to open the window and let him in instead of him breaking the glass.

She walked over and opened it. Jeff crawled in without a word. Jillian sat on her bed while he sat in her desk chair. Still, neither said a word to one other, but just sat in silence. Jillian needed to escape the tension filled room, so she got up and walked out. She went downstairs and cut two pieces of cake. She grabbed forks and plates, and brought it all upstairs to her room.

When she walked in, Jeff was still sitting in the chair. She put the plates on her desk.

"I thought you might like some." She said as she took her own piece of vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. "It's yummy." She added, giving a small smile.

"Thanks." Jeff took a bite and swallowed. "It is good."

She smiled a little more. "We made it from a box."

Jeff's permanent smile twitched up a little bit as well. He coughed to get himself back to being unfeeling. "So…having a good birthday?"

"Yea," she began. "It was pretty nice."

"School okay?"

"School's fine, Jeffery." She joked. "There's actually a new girl that I get along pretty well with."

Jeff whipped some frosting off his pale face. "I guess everything does get better as you grow up."

Jillian rolled her eyes. "Shut the hell up." They both laughed and continued eating their cake. Jillian put her empty plate down and lowered her eyes. "What happens now?"

Jeff looked up at her and sighed aggressively. "I was an idiot for saying that. I let my human self get a little too excited about shit and what not. Let's just forget that it ever happened."

Jillian smiled and felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.

"Um…look." Jeff began. "I don't want to get all mushy and shit, so you better not start acting like one of those really annoying chicks."

Jillian was confused, but what Jeff just said to her made sense as he pulled out a small white box wrapped in a red bow from his hoodie pocket. He sat next to her on the bed and placed it in her lap. "Happy birthday."

She looked back up at him wide eyed. This was out of character for him. He was not this type of person, well, demon really. At the same time, she knew that Jeff did not usually let people live, let alone protect them. She wrapped her arms around him which took him by surprise.

"You're supposed to open the box first." He retorted.

Jillian pushed him and then turned her attention back to the box. She pulled the ribbon off and set it next to her on the bed. She then opened the white box and laughed at the object inside.

Inside was a glimmering, silver pocket knife.

Jeff looked at her face for more of a reaction. "It's all stainless steel, even the handle. It'll never break no matter how many times you drop it. It's great for self-defense and stuff like that."

Jillian wasn't a weapon type of person, but this object was absolutely beautiful. There was not a single blemish on it. Although the silver was nearly reflective, there was not a single fingerprint on the knife. In fact, it looked as though it had never been touched before. The metal itself could have been used as a mirror.

Jeff continued talking. "There's also a cloth in there to clean it with. And that knife is never going to be used on yourself." He said this as a statement and a fact, not as a suggestion or question. Jillian, though, was too mesmerized by her gift to give him a response.

Instead of ruining the moment by demanding a response, Jeff leaned in and kissed Jillian on the cheek while she continued to gaze at the knife.

"It reminded me of you." Jeff said, snaking his arm around her shoulders.

"It's beautiful." Jillian said as she gazed into the reflective metal.

Jeff chuckled to himself.

Exactly. He thought.
