Chapter 6
Logan sat at the kitchen table in front of his birthday cake while his friends and Emily sang the birthday song. After blowing out the candles, Logan and Ephram shared a kiss. Emily gave her brother a hug.
"Happy 16th birthday, Little Brother," Emily said.
"Thank you," Logan said.
"So I have a special gift for you," Ephram said.
"Sweetie," Logan said. "You already gave me flowers."
"Follow me," Ephram said.
Logan followed Ephram outside. Ephram opened his car, pulled out a basketball, and handed it to Logan.
"A basketball," Logan said. "Signed by Michael Jordan!"
"I searched for 2 months for that ball," Ephram said.
"Thank you!" Logan cheered.
Logan hugged Ephram tightly.
"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Logan cheered.
"You are suffocating me," Ephram said.
"So even though our parents didn't come, Logan had a wonderful 16th birthday. As for Alan, he would find love with a baseball player. But that's a different story."
"Oh, and Coach Mellor and I, we definitely still continued having our up's and down's but we became great friends and colleagues."
