I rolled over and I noticed Lucas' bed was neatly made and he was missing from the room. I reached for my cell phone and dialed a familiar number. It rung a few times before she picked.
"What the hell do you want? It's 6 o'clock in the morning." She yelled as I laughed.
"I'm sorry baby. I forgot about the time difference. Good morning beautiful." I said as I put on a pair of my basketball shorts and walked to the window.
"Sorry about that. I must have fallen asleep with my phone in my hand last night because it scared the crap out of me. Is there a particular reason you called me so early in the morning?" She asked as I walked back to my bed.
"I guess I'm just a little homesick." I admitted to her as she sighed quietly.
"I'm sorry baby. And it probably doesn't help that it's Brandon and Megan's 16th birthdays today does it?" She asked as I shook my head.
"Not that doesn't help very much. I'll give them a call later." I told her sadly.
"Troy listen to me carefully. Go get the two notes for today and read them." She said as I grinned.
"Do I open both of them?" I asked as I got the two envelopes.
"If you want you can. I'll wait." She said as I ripped the first one open and took out the blue paper.
Hey Troy!
We hope you're having an amazing time at camp. We know how bad you must feel since it's the first birthday of ours you've missed. That's why we're not celebrating today. We both agreed we want to celebrate our birthdays with your older brother present. We're going to wait until you come home to have the big blast. Kick some butt today and we'll talk to you later!
Love,
Megan and Brandon
I smiled after reading that note. I didn't waste anytime before tearing into the other note. This was written on lime green paper with blue ink.
Hi Troy!
I know you must feel crummy right now because you're not at home celebrating with Megan and Brandon. They don't want to celebrate without you here. So I figured a song about home might cheer you up a little. So today's song is "Home" by Michael Buble. Enjoy and call me when you finish reading this.
Te Amo,
Gabi
"I'm calling you." I told her as she giggled at my little joke.
"I see that. Did that help a little bit?" She asked me as I laughed at her.
"Oh yeah they helped a lot. Thank you." I told her placing the CD in the CD player.
"Good! All right I'm going back to bed. Don't forget to call your siblings. I love you." She said as I said the three words back to her before hanging up.
I looked at the clock that read 10:30. I grinned as I dialed another familiar number.
"Hello?" I heard a groggy voice answer the phone as I let my laugher ring over the phone.
"Good morning mom. Can I talk to either Brandon or megan?" I asked her.
"Sure just a minute. How's camp going?" Mom asked me as I sighed.
"It's kicking my butt I'm getting through it." I told her as I heard shuffling.
"Hello! It's too darn early to be on the phone mother!" I heard Megan complain.
"Happy Birthday little sister." I said as I heard Megan get excited over the phone.
"Oh My! What are you doing up? Aren't you suppose to be in a camp?" Megan asked as I laughed.
"I don't have practice until 2 so I'm making some phone calls." I told her as she laughed.
"Cool. What time is it there?" She asked as I craned my neck to look at the clock.
"It's 11 so I figured you and Brandon would be up by now." I told her as she laughed.
"Yeah right I was planning on sleeping in today." She said as I laughed.
"Well I just blew that one. Sorry girl! So what are you doing today?" I asked her as she sighed.
"I've got plans with friends. I wish you were going to be here." Megan said as I sighed.
"I wish I was going to be there too but I can't. we'll celebrate when I get back, I promise." I told her as she laughed.
"I can't wait. Do you want to talk to the birthday boy?" She asked as I noticed Lucas in the doorway.
"Sure put him on." I told her as I turned my attention to Lucas.
"What are you doing?" Lucas asked me as I grinned at him.
"It's Megan and Brandon's birthdays today so I'm calling them." I told him as he nodded.
"Dude it's too darn early for you to be calling!" Brandon said once he got on the phone.
"Mom's standing there isn't she?" I asked with a laugh as Brandon joined me in laughing.
"You got it. So what are you up to?" Brandon asked me as I looked at the clock 11:30 perfect.
"Waiting for 2 o'clock to roll around. We have to work on drills and speed skills on the beach today." I told him.
"That sucks but at least you got to sleep in this morning." Brandon told me.
"I slept into 9 and then called Gabi who reminded me to call you and Megan so that's what I'm doing." I told him.
"Cool so I got this email from Sarah." Brandon started as I remembered that Sarah was the girl Brandon liked.
"What did Sarah want?" I asked as I jumped on my bed and relaxed against the pillows.
"She wants me to come over when she gets back." Brandon told me as I heard him fall.
"Dude are you all right and I think you should tell her how you feel." I told him as he laughed.
"I'm fine but how do I tell her that?" Brandon asked as he started to freak out.
"Stop freaking out and let me think about it for a while. We'll work on it when I get home." I told him as he sighed.
"All right but you'll help me won't you?" Brandon asked as I threw my head back and groaned.
"Yes Brandon I will help you. I promise. But today you need to go out with friends and celebrate your birthday. This will be the one birthday you'll remember always." I told him as he laughed.
"What did you do for your 16th birthday?" Brandon asked as I remembered back to mine.
"I got my license and then went out with Jason, Zeke, and Chad. We had a guys day out." I told him as he laughed.
"All right. I've gotta go or I'll be late for the movies. I'll talk to you later Troy." Brandon told me.
"Say goodbye to Megan for me and I'll talk to you guys later." I told him as he said his goodbyes.
Lucas shook his head as I got up and into the shower. Practice was a couple of hours away so I just relaxed and thought about today's song.
I hope you guys like it so far! I've got most of it written all ready, so I should be updating later on today!
