Jared's birthday was today and I was excited! It wasn't my own birthday but I didn't really like celebrating my birthday, but I liked celebrating other people's. Its weird, I know.
Anyways, I had called Eric last night to see if I could go to set and we could all surprise him. He excitedly agreed and even said they could take a day off filming to celebrate, so I thought it was going to be pretty fun. I bought tons of decorations and even got him his favorite cake; red velvet. I made a collage of pictures of Jared with me, Jensen, on Supernatural, and with his family and had it put on the cake. I also invited Jared's close family, and reluctantly invited Erin. She seemed really mad I was doing this for Jared, but I was his best friend and she could get over it.
When I told Jensen and Liz my plan, they kept going on about how much I loved him and how we were going to be together again one day and blah blah blah. I hated that subject, it only depressed me. But, today I was trying to just have fun. I told everyone to dress up. Not too nice, but not sweats. I got ready, {{ cgi/set?id=92269569}} and head off to set with all the decorations, cake, all the food I bought and cooked, and his present in my backseat.
I made sure to get there before Jared, and everyone else did too. This was perfect! Jensen, Liz, everyone was here. Even his family made it, which I was happy about because I got along with them really well but Jared doesn't see them too much. I also made sure to bring the Spurs jersey I bought Jared, I was glad it came in time for this!
"Good morning everyone!" I said, walking in.
I heard a lot of 'good mornings' back and I smiled. Jensen and Liz walked up to me as I started setting up the decorations.
"You look cute," Liz complimented.
"Thanks, so do you!" I looked at her outfit, she had on a white skirt with ruffles and a brown belt. Her tank top was a light coral color, it was pretty and the way it fit complimented her figure.
Then, a guy I didn't recognize walked up to us.
"Hey, Misha" Jensen greeted.
"Hi everyone," he smiled. "I'm guessing you're Vanessa, the one who threw this all together?"
"Yeah," I smiled, realizing he was the one who played Castiel on the show. "Its nice to meet you!"
"You, too!" He smiled.
I had the three of them help me with the rest of decorations and food, I realized I could have lived without a lot of the stuff I bought. I really went all out. Then someone yelled Jared was here, so I ran to the front and shut off all the lights. We all hid in the dark, waiting for Jared to walk in. We heard the door knob turn, and the door opened to reveal Jared.
"SURPRISE!" We all screamed in unison, which was extremely loud because there were so many.
Jared practically jumped out of his skin and we all laughed. Jared had the biggest smile on his face.
"You guys are the best! I can't believe you all did this!" Jared said.
Jensen, Liz, Erin, and I walked up to him.
"You should thank Vanessa, she did all of this!" Eric exclaimed.
"Vanessa, did you really?" Jared turned to me.
I shrugged.
"You're my best friend, I had to go all out." I smiled.
"Oh my god, you're the best!" Jared hugged me, spinning me around.
Everyone 'awe'd and I saw Erin give me a death glare. Jensen put party hats on himself and Jared, then they started dancing around and we all laughed again. I told Jared I cooked all of his favorite meals; pasta salad, chicken, and homemade macaroni and cheese. He kept thanking me over and over all day, but nothing beat his reaction for when he opened my gift. I made him open mine first, knowing he would like it. When he opened it, he immediately took his shirt off and put the jersey on. He picked me up bridal style when he saw who signed it, and started running around the set. Everyone laughed except Erin, she was extremely pissed off but Jared didn't seem to care.
Jared was happy his family was there and he loved the cake. I couldn't believe how perfect this was going! Hopefully Erin didn't give Jared too much shit later. She was the cause of Jared and I's last fight, and I definitely didn't want that happening again. I was eating the pasta salad when there was a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Jared's mom.
"Oh, hey!" I smiled, putting my plate down and hugging her.
"Vanessa, what you did for Jared was beyond kind! You two are going to get married one day," She laughed.
I laughed along awkwardly.
"Jared has a girlfriend," I tried to hide the disappointment in my voice.
"I see the way you two act, he loves you so much and you clearly love him. If you didn't, you wouldn't have gone all out! I miss when you two were together. He and Erin won't last, their chemistry doesn't compare to what you and Jared share. I've known it since you two were in high school. And just to let you know, I'll always support you two together." She told me sweetly, walking away before I could reply.
I stood there in awe of what she said. I know everyone said they wanted us back together, but I feel like if it was going to happen, it would've by now. I do love Jared, but I'm kinda sorta with Joe right now and he is with Erin. Maybe I would just have to get over it, I already love what Jared and I have even if I wish it was more again. I finished my food and threw my plate away. I looked over at Jared and saw he and Erin isolated from everyone, and it didn't look good. She looked pissed and Jared looked confused, then Erin stormed out of the set. I walked over to him.
"What was all that about?" I asked him.
Jared let out a big sigh and rolled his eyes.
"She was getting majorly jealous for no reason, she didn't even get me a present or anything and she got mad that you did this whole thing for me." he explained.
"Are you serious?" I asked, slightly annoyed.
I made myself a mental note to say something to her later. Jared probably wouldn't approve but I clearly had to set something straight with her.
"Well, are you at least having fun?" I asked.
"Ness, this is the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me. This is like the best day ever!" Jared grinned, kissing me on the cheek and going to talk to his dad.
I smiled at what he said, then Liz called me over.
"Dude, this is a lot more fun than I expected. Plus, Erin left and Jared is acting normal with you! The way he's been treating you is so cute!" Liz exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Like when he thanked you for what you did, then when he opened the jersey he picked you up and it was just so cute!" Liz laughed, and I laughed along.
"Jared's mom came up to me and gave me some speech about how Erin and Jared will never have what Jared and I do and she supports us together, it was kinda weird." I told Liz.
"Why is that weird?" she asked.
"Because when we were in high school, she always joked about us ending up together but neither of us thought about it like that, you know? Until we were together. But since we broke up, I didn't think she still felt that way." I explained and she nodded.
"She's right, you know." Liz commented.
"Why does everyone say that?" I asked. "If anything was going to happen, it would have by now. Joe and I are sort of a thing, and he's been dating Erin for two months."
"One day, Vanessa. I'm serious," she said and I rolled my eyes.
The rest of the party was a blast. When everyone left, Jen, Liz, Jared, and I all decided to go back to my house after cleaning up all the mess. Liz and I did end up getting the pool and deck built in, it was so nice to have! Once we all got back to my house, we went swimming and it was so fun! At the moment, we had a beach ball we were tossing around.
"Are you and Erin still fighting?" I asked Jared.
"Yeah, I'll just talk to her tomorrow."
"I hope you guys work things out," I told him.
"Right," he replied, sarcasm dripping in his tone.
"What?" I asked, passing the ball to him rather hard after that comment.
"Its okay, Ness. I know you don't like her. These two don't either," Jared said, making Jen and Liz nod in agreement.
"I didn't have a major problem with her until today, that's just ridiculous."
"What happened?" Liz asked.
"She didn't even get Jared anything for his birthday, then she got pissed because I threw him a party." I explained.
"That's ridiculous!" Liz yelled.
"See, I told you guys," Jensen said.
I passed the ball to Jared but I accidentally hit him in the face.
"Oops!" I said while we all laughed.
Jared shook his head and laughed along before picking me up and throwing me to the other side of the pool. I screamed before I went under water. When I came back up, all four of us pretty much had a water war and I couldn't remember the last time I had this much fun. Today was perfect.
