"Happy birthday Will!" Susan cried, waking Will up from a nice dream. She groaned and pulled the pillow over her head. "Wake up sleepy head." She pulled the covers off the bed.

"Err!" Will curled into a ball. "Go away!" She moaned. Susan pulled the pillow off next.

"Time to get up baby. Your sixteen." She sang.

Will finally forced herself out of her bare, but warm bed. "Fine, fine. I'm up." Will yawned. "OK, out. I need to get dressed." Susan nodded and left the room. Immediately Will throw her duvet around her and flopped on the bed.

"Will!" Susan cried, making Will jump and fall off the end of the bed.

"I'm up!" She stood up quickly.

"Uh-huh." Susan rolled her eyes and walked back out of her daughters room.

Will stretched, hearing a few bones crack from lack of movement, before yawning again. Today was her birthday. As in center of attention! Lucky it was a Saturday, so no school. But her mom has arranged a surprise party. Will found out when she got a call from the room she had hired, but didn't tell her she knew... it would upset her.

So Will had just told herself to grin and bear it.

"Breakfast sweetie!" Susan called.

"Coming!" Will shouted back. She throw a pair of old jeans and a baggy blue shirt on. "What for food." Will gave a huge cheeky smile as she sat down at the kitchen table.

"Eggs and bacon." Susan laughed and put the plate in front of Will. She made the food look like a smile.

"Oh yummy. I love to eat faces." Will laughed as she cut up one of the eyes.

After mother and daughter eat, Susan got a nervous look on her face.

"Whats up mom?" Will asked noticing.

"Well..." The older women took a sip of coffee, "your dad called." Will nodded. "He said happy birthday... and he said he should be coming to..." Susan nearly tripped up on the already found out secret, "the apartment." She quickly covered up. Will pretended she didn't notice.

"Cool." Will nodded, not really bothered. She liked her dad, but the rare times he came to visit after there divorce, he and Susan would fight. So she tried to avoid them usually. That's gonna be easy at a party. "Well I gotta go. I'm meeting up with the girls. Bye mom." She gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Okay. But be back by five. I have a surprise for you!" She called after her.

"'Kay mom!" Will shouted as she shut the door.

Time seemed to go at lighting speed. She got 'happy birthdays' from her four best friends, and cards from each of them. After hanging out in the town for a while, they went to the park, Hay Lin wanted ice-cream. It felt like five minutes since she meet with her friends when she got a text from her mom.

'Your late!
You need to be here NOW!

~Mom'

"Crap." Will groaned. "I have to go. Mom needs me for something. Wonder what it is." She said in her most innocent voice.

"Dunno. But be careful! Last time my dad had a surprise for me I was stuck cleaning the garage." Irma laughed, obviously trying to change the subject.

"That sounds fun." Will laughed. "Well see you guys tomorrow."

"Or sooner." Irma laughed evilly, tapping her fingers together. Cornelia gave her a sharp jab in the ribs.

"Mhmm." Will frowned, and got on her bike. "Irma you need medication." She laughed before peddling off.

"You'll pay for that birthday girl!" She called after her, while the rest of the girls laughed.

Will rushed home, leaving her bike outside chain to the bike stands.

"Sorry I'm late!" Will called bursting though the door.

"You will be." Susan narrowed her eyes. "Now go change. I'm taking you out to a fancy restaurant, so dress nice."

"Arr mom!" Will groaned, playing along. "I hate fancy stuff!" She huffed as she made her way to her room.

"To bad!" She yelled after her.

Will changed into a dark blue dress they stopped below the knee. She put on some blue stocking and flat shoes to match. Corny would find something wrong with it, but Will thought she look very nice. Satisfied with the girl in the mirror, Will skipped out of her room.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Lets just go." Susan shook her head, with a small smile on her lips.

"So where are we going?" Will asked, innocent again.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out." Susan bobbed her tongue out at the red head."Oh and before I forget. Your dad couldn't make it... Sorry sweetie."

"No sweat mom. It's cool." Will put on a brave face, but really she just missed her dad.

Will stared out the window, watching the dimming light as they speed down the streets. About twenty minutes they pulled up to Will's own personal hell. A party, just for her. She sighed as she got out of the car.

"I don't think I've heard of this restaurant mom, what is-" But she was cut off by a blindfold being tied around her head. "Arr mom!" Will groaned. "People will look at me funny if they see a girl walking in with a blindfold!" She protested, still playing along.

"Just shush for a minute." Susan lead her daughter up the ramp into the small ball room. The blindfold was ripped from her head.

"SURPRISE!" A room full of people shouted, and Will's face automatically turned the shade of her hair at the sight of so many people starring at her. She gulped down her fear and made her way into the room.

She got loads of hug, and twice as many kisses on the cheek from the older side of the family. It wasn't long before the party life was getting out of hand for Will. Everywhere she went, someone wanted to talk to her! And on top of that, she had barley been able to talk to Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin, Which was annoying her as well. So when she saw the back door open, she quickly made her way to it and ducked out without anyone noticing.

She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the cool night air.

"Hey." A smooth voice came from behind her, making her jump and spin around to face the voice.

"Oh... Hey." She gulped then smiled at the now much older Matthew Olsen. His longish hair was styled in a messy fashion, that only made him look all the more sexy! Matt had a plain button up black shirt, with the last two undone.

"So I hear its your birthday." He smiled, leaning on the wall.

"Yeah." Will sighed, copying his actions.

"You looked thrilled when you saw everyone." Matt laughed a little.

"Shut up." She smiled and nudged him.

"No really, your face was... priceless." He laughed again, while Will's face heated up.

"I didn't see you in there." Will said, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, I don't really like being in big crowds." He admitted.

"Me ether." There was a short pause for a moment. "How the guitar thing going?" Will asked to break the silence.

"Really good. I started this band." The corners of his mouth twitched. "We rock." He nodded and Will laughed.

"I'll believe it when I see it." She looked over to see Matt biting the bottom of his lip. It looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't want to at the same time. "Whats wrong?" She asked, concerned.

"N-Nothing." He looked away from her.

"Tell me." She lightly touched his shoulder and he turned slowly to look at her. Letting the full force of his deep blue eyes on her.

"You've grown up a lot." He whispered.

"A few years will do that to you." She wanted to sound like a joke, to lighten the mood, but it came out the same as his tone.

They stood there for a second, just looking at each other, then suddenly, Matt leaned down ever so slightly. Will stopped breathing as his feather light fingers brushed a lock of hair out the way of her face.

"Don't run this time." He whispered before he pressed his lips to hers. Her hands fell on his chest as one of his went behind her neck to pull her that much closer. The other did the same with her waist.

Nether was quite sure that the other could feel the electricity that sparked around them. But they were both sure that they would never let the other go without a fight.

One kiss and they were both in love.
