CHAPTER FIFTEEN
(Amelia's 4th birthday)
"Wake up, Raven, wake up." Jagger yelled quietly, throwing pillows and blankets at her. Raven sat up blurry eyed.
"What's wrong?" she said.
"Don't be so loud, Amelia's asleep. Nothings wrong, you have guests coming remember. Birthday party." Jagger said, throwing stuff in a giant black trash bag. Raven groaned and fell back against the mattress that she called a bed.
"Raven!" Jagger shrieked, "get off your butt and help me clean this place up." Jagger wasn't being rude he was just nervous. Just then the elevator shaft dung to signal its entrance.
Becky had bought Amelia a mini pair of combat boots and a coffin backpack. Jagger found that ironic. Luna gave her a Skelanimal plushy set and a Nightmare Before Christmas lunch box. Jagger's tutor would be teaching her. Raven had bought Amelia a ribbon choker with a pewter bat charm. And they were going on a shopping spree at Hot Gothic's later that week. Jagger had had a custom made mini battery powered hearse that she could ride around the apartment.
Amelia's cake was in the shape of Emily the Strange, filled with Rocky Road ice cream.
The girls were giggling and Jagger played gold fish with 4 year old Amelia. Jagger yawned and Amelia yanked the leg of his skinny jeans. His eyes returned to there mismatched shades, before he lifted her up and kissed her on the forehead, stopping her complaining.
"Time for bed." Jagger said sternly, yet soft. He was never harsh with Amelia.
