AN: Ok, so I am so so so sorry for making you wait so long for this. I went through a little bit of a writer's block so if this chapter seems a little forced I apologize! I hope you enjoy it and continue to read my stuff(:
Addy's POV:
I sat down at the table with my plate of steaming pancakes already slurping down my coffee not caring that it was burning my tongue, and thought about the day ahead of me. I don't see why she made such a fuss over my birthday anyways I'm just another year older, no biggie. Oh well I sighed to myself as I poured the syrup over my stack of pancakes. They were delicious. I wonder what she has planned for me this year I pondered as I chewed. Last year It was a fifty dollar gift certificate to the nail salon. Poor Nettie was highly disappointed when I chose black for my fingernails.
The day was passing slowly. I had nothing to do, nobody to see. It's not like I was the most popular girl on the block. I mean come on who's going to talk to a troubled girl with black hair and black nails? So stereotypical, not that the stereotype doesn't fit me. I just hoped more people would try to see for themselves. I did have a few friends though. There was Kimberly my best friend for as long as I could remember, Wren, the boy I had secretly been crushing on for months, and Danny, the girl I considered my sister.
Sighing at my boring social life I plopped down on the sofa and grabbed the remote. Maybe a little bit of TV could make this boring day go by faster.
When I looked back up at the clock after watching who knows how many hours of movies it was nearly 5:30 I had about an hour to get dressed. I hopped up and made a mad dash for the bathroom. I quickly undressed pulling of my baggy pajamas. I stepped into the shower and just let the warm water run over me, warming my whole body and dripping into my face. This was bliss. I loved showers that made me forger my problems the pain leaving my body with all the little streams of water. I seemed to have forgotten I was in a hurry. When it dawned on me that I had been in here quite some time, I snapped my eyes open and reached for the shampoo I lathered it through my hair as fast as possible rinsed and repeated. In no time I was wrapped in a towel in my bedroom standing in front of my closet.
So It was my birthday and even though I resented the whole "make a big deal about it" I still wanted to look nice. As I browsed through my collection I finally decided on a tight black pencil skirt and an off the shoulder grey tee with a pattern on it. Perfect I thought happily. After I was dressed i had to add a little color to my outfit. I pulled out my emerald necklace and latched it around my neck. I looked stunning. Time for hair and makeup. I did the usual with my makeup, foundation, deep purple eye shadow, liner, and red lipstick. I ran a brush through my still wet hair prepping it for what was to come. After I finished drying it I ran my straightener through it…just to reduce frizz. There, I thought happily, picture perfect.
I hoped down the stairs at 6:20 with ten minutes to spare. The excitement of presents finally getting to me I couldn't help but be in a smiley mood. As Nettie promised, at 6:30 sharp I heard a honk. I had to pace myself not to run out the door to meet my foster family. "hey sweety!" Nettie said happily from the driver's side letting her excitement show. She must really be planning something good this year. I looked up at Ryan who had his ipod in his ears he must of felt me staring because he looked up and grinned. I giggled. I NEVER giggle. This happy go lucky mood must be wearing off on me!
When we reached the restaurant Nettie approached the reservation table and said, "Williams reservation for 7:00" she smiled back at me excitedly as the man led us to our table. As we were seated I couldn't help but notice the waiter's devious smile as he led us into our own private room. "happy birthday" he whispered as there was a load POP and two people appeared. I looked around bewildered "who are you?" I asked fearfully giving them cautious looks. "and how did you do that"
