My sleepy daze was rudely interrupted by the sound of the cure blasting out my phone a sign of telling me its 7.30am I really need to wake up but I really don't want to not today at least. Today was one of the worst days of the year and I have had crappy days and do you know why today is so crappy. It's my birthday.
I was soon brought out of my comfort zone of my bed at the loud banging noise coming from down stairs. That is definitely Brooke Marie banner Davis I thought, as I sloughed my way down the stairs in my grey shorts and overly large angels and airwaves t-shirt. The sound started getting irritating which does not help my mood.
As I yanked the door open, I was attacked by body that flung itself towards me; it took me by surprise that I fell backwards onto the hard wooden floor. 'Happy birthday!' said Brooke with her million dollar smile that was only reserved for close friends. ' Thanks' I mumbled bringing myself to my feet and holding my head that now was throbbing from the accident that just accured. We both moved into the kitchen where I nearly jumped out of my skin in surprise at what I was witnessing.
There was standing my boyfriend Lucas Eugene Rogers baking me cookies. He turns and smiles at me showing off his teeth, we lock eyes as he holds up the bowl with a smirk that melts me every time. I bit my lip to stop me from laughing as I remember the last time I baked him cookies which ended up into a food fight and then a make out session which I shall say I enjoyed. Brooke looks at us funny but shakes her head and turns to me with a serious look.
'How are you holding up ' she asks softly giving me her warm smile which always seems to make me feel better, but today it just didn't affect me like it usually does. I look at her then to Lucas who seems to have stopped his baking and is walking slowly towards me and wrapping his arms around my waist and putting his head on my shoulder. It makes me feel safe being there.
'I'm holding up great although I am nervous leaving Sammy here all on his own' I say feeling guilty that I have to leave my dog behind while I go with my class to the avengers tower for the next two days which is owned by a father of a close friend of mine Nathan stark.
'He will be fine because I have sorted that out' she said with her mischievous grin.
'How?' I ask cautiously.
'Well I asked Whitey if we could bring him he said no at first but then I used my Brooke sympathy card and he said yes' she said excitedly with a big smile.
I turn to Lucas who has been really quiet while Brook and i had our conversation, he looks serious as though thinking about something he does this every so often, which I have gotten used to. You okay? I ask softly and give him a squeeze. He moves his head so he is looking right into my eyes with warmth and said yeah just making sure I have everything for today with a reassuring smile. I nod not really sure if I should say anything further, Brooke nudges me and said we will meet you at the avengers tower and don't be late you know what is like especially since you have not been yourself lately she said quietly. My mood starting to change from grumpy to snappy as I say
'Yeah well a lot as happened in the last two months' I snap and quickly apologise to her which she waves off as she knows what I'm talking about.
They turn to leave but Lucas stops and turns around and walks quickly to me like he is on a mission and lifts me off the ground and spins me around giving a passionate kiss before he puts me down and whispers 'happy birthday Sawyer' and with that he gives me a wink and strolls off to catch up with Brooke who has a disgusted look on her face but can't help her smile that is quickly making its appearance on her face. As soon as they are out of site I turn to see Sammy running his way towards me knowing exactly what he and I want; Lucas's cookies.
As we both sit their eating cookies I look at the clock and see I only have three hours until we have to leave I mean what's the worst that can happen in the next two days I say to myself. What do you think buddy do you think we can make it a whole two days without any drama? I say to Sammy in a baby voice I use when being affectionate towards him all I got was a big ruff noise and a sloppy kiss in a reply. Like I said what's the worst that can happen.
