Celeste's POV

I flipped and turned in my bed as my mind forced the events of yesterday back into my mind, I had expected Dad and Haley to freak, instead Dad hugged me and told me everything would be alright, it was the first time that I realized what having parents felt like.

"Celeste!! Sister!" I grabbed my pillow and pulled it over my head as I felt two bodies jump onto my bed.

"Wake Up!! Its your birthday!!" Miles and Jude said as they started to jump on the bed and Micah came into the room with his guitar and started to play the 50 cent song.

"Go Celeste its ya birthday ya gonna party like its ya birthday!" He said as I laughed hysterically, I sat up in my bed.

"Thanks Micah that was quite a cover."

"Thanks I think I'm gonna rap on the side." He said as I smiled and Miles dove into my body.

"Happy birthday!!" He said as I fell back against my pillows and laughed.

"Does everyone get this kinda birthday wish??" I asked as they all nodded.

"Nope just you." Jude said as he did a slip off of my bed and landed on a pile of pillows.

"Hey, Celeste's little posse, did no one ever read the rules of being a kid?" James said as he walked into the room, his eyes adjusting to the light.

"No what did it say?" Miles said as he stopped jumping and sat down next to me.

"You sleep in till 8 on days off from school." He said as he headed out of the room grumpily. "Oh and by the way happy birthday and dad wants you in the kitchen." HE said to me as I smiled brightly and hoped out of my bed, my little posse following me excitedly.

"What's downstairs?" I asked them as we walked towards the kitchen, I stopped in my tracks when I saw that the kitchen and adjacent living room were decorated will pink and orange balloons', their were flowers on the table, and a huge banned that said happy birthday.

"Aw guys!!" I said as I hugged my brothers and dad and Haley made their way into the kitchen. "You all didn't have to do all of this!" I said as I hugged them excitedly.

"We wanted to, alright well what would you like for breakfast Ms. Seventeen year old?" Haley asked as I smiled.

"I don't care, maybe some pancakes?" I said as I sat down at the bar.



"Alright I'll get started on that," Dad said as I smelled the flowers and Haley came over to me with a camera.

"Its Scott family tradition, the birthday kid has to get their picture taken at breakfast." She said as I smiled and she clicked a few times.

"Yeah and for every other second today." James said as he came down the stairs.

"It's okay, I just cant get over all these decorations."I said as I smiled at James, he blushed as I threw a balloon at him.

"Well I thought that you deserved a big celebration for all the birthdays here you missed." He said as he sat down next to me and I hugged him.

"Aww that was so sweet of you!" I said as I faked tears.

"So what are your plans for tonight?" James asked as he shot hoops and I sat trying to come up with something for the essay that was due tomorrow in Haley's class.

"I think I was gonna go to Lily's and spend the night." I said as James looked at me.

"What no party?" He said as I shook my head.

"I don't think so I mean I've partied enough its not as fun as it sounds." I said as Dad opened the back door and stuck his head out.

"Hey, guys do you think you can come help me? Miles got his head stuck in the banister again." Dad said worriedly as I hopped up form my seat and followed him, as soon as I saw Miles sitting on the steps my smile took over my face.

"The least you could do is say hi." Amelia said as she stood at the front door smiling. I ran and gave her a hug as my family watched.

"Ah! I missed you so much!!" I said as I hugged her one more time. "Well you know Haley and Dad, and this is Miles…Jude...Micah and James." I said as Amelia smiled and said hi to all of them.

"Alright well we'll leave you two alone, I'm gonna take the boys to the river court." Dad said as I smiled. Haley patted me on the back.

"And I have to run to school for a bit, but call me if you need anything!" She said as I hugged her.

"Thanks so much for today!!" I said as she smiled and left.

"I cant get over how hot the Scott family is!" Amelia said as we stood in the foyer alone, we hugged again. "No seriously I always thought that you were strangely beautiful but now it all makes since." She said as I rolled my eyes.



"My mom was a model too."

"This is why I hate you." Amelia said as we laughed and headed up towards my room.

"So how did you get here?!" I said as we made it to my room and sat on my bed.

"Your dad called me a month ago and said he wanted to fly me down to surprise you." Amelia said.

"I can't believe, they've treated me like a princess all day today." I said as I tried to wipe the grin off of my face- it wouldn't budge

"Well I can see that, you know when Haley picked me up form the airport she and the little boys spent the entire time talking about you." Amelia said with a smile on her face.

"So I told Evan about everything." I said as Amelia looked at me with wide eyes.

"What did he say?" She said I had told Amelia all about the Evan situation.

"Nothing he just hugged me and told me every thing would be okay." I said "I think I love him."

"Whoa who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" she said as I rolled my eyes. "Seriously, Celeste you couldn't commit to a bottle of shampoo let alone a guy, plus didn't you always have a two week rule?" She said as I laughed realizing how much Evan had changed me, it had been sudden for sure, I thought of his brown hair and tan skin, the gorgeous looks that had struck my notice in him. He was so hot, I spent most of the time with him just staring at him and when we weren't together I found myself thinking about him. His looks are what first made me see him but once I spent time with him I found their to be much more to him than just basketball. He was funny and witty; he had a great sense of self. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and family, he didn't need to impress anyone he was completely confident with himself, and that was something that I found admirable and totally hot.

"Hello! Earth to Celeste!" I jerked my head at Amelia's announcement. "Jeez, you really are bitten by the love bug."
