The lake house <3 (JACK HUGHES FANFIC)

5.

Kenzie is awoken by laughter downstairs, As she turns over in bed to check her phone. "8:46" She reads off the screen groaning, Slamming her pillow over her face, Because it's still so damn early, But ultimately deciding to stand up and check out what the chaos is all about this morning. She quickly scrolls through her messages, Which include hundreds of happy birthday texts that she decides that she will reply to later, Smiling through all of them. A bunch of texts from her LA friends, Modeling friends, Hometown friends, And relatives.

She heads downstairs to see everyone wide awake and decorating the house with streamers, And huge gold balloons that read out, "Happy 21st Kenzie", Along with a bunch of presents laid out on the marble countertop.

Trevor spots her coming down the stairs first. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACKENZIE!" He yells coming to hug and pick her up, "I love you so much, Happy 21st." He says to her, Squeezing her tightly and putting her back down.

"I love you Trevor, Thank you." She replies smiling up at her brother, As everyone gets up to say happy birthday, Giving Kenzie hugs as well.

"Happy birthday, Sweet Kenz." Jack says, Squeezing her extra tight and kissing the top of her head as she grins at him, "Thank you, Jack."

"Ouuuu, Are these all for me?" Kenzie acts surprised looking at all the gifts that are obviously for her.

"Me first!" Alex says sliding over a bag, As she pulls out tickets to an LA dodgers game and a jersey with "Zegras" on the back since the two both now live in LA for modeling as Alex is with the LA kings for hockey. The two would always watch baseball games at the lake house whenever they were kids and grew a bond through it. It was a really special gift to her. "Awh, Thank you Alex, Can't wait." She looks at him, Pulling out another item of  a picture from of the two at just 6 years old wearing LA Dodger jerseys and hats too big for them smiling next to each other. And lastly she reads the card that says,

"Happy birthday Kenzie. Thank you for being the little sister i always wanted and never got. Thank you for letting me live life with you and allowing me to be your best friend. I love you more than you'll ever know." -Alex

"Awh Alex come here, Thank you so much." She squeezes him and gives him a peck on the cheek.

"Me next!" Cole slides his bag over as Kenzie pulls out a two piece golf set and a hat "No fucking way." She laughs knowing that Cole got her a matching girls outfit to his favorite golfing outfit he wears every time he golfs.

"TWINNNNN" Cole shouts smiling proudly at his gift as everyone laughs.

She pulls out a card that reads:
"You're the best thing that's happened to everyone in this house right now. You are so loved and such a good person with the kindest heart and I will be forever grateful to have someone like you in my life. People like you don't come around often" - Love, Your twin (you better wear that outfit when we go golfing, I'm not playing.)

She laughs audibly at the card responding with a "I will wear it. Trust me. Thank you Coleeyyyyyy"  opening her arms to bring him in for a hug.

"Okay, Okay, My turn. " Tate jumps up excitingly giving Kenzie her gift.

"Awhhh, Tate.  Are you serious?" Kenzie pulls out out a scrapbook Tate made for her with pictures of them from every year they've been friends starting at age 1 to age 21. Kenzie flips through the book tearing up "That's so fucking sweet." She says as everyone's smiling looking at the scrapbook as well. Mackenzie reaches through the bag and pulls out one more item which is in a small Cartier box. "It's the matching best friend ring we talked about getting. " She says with a smile showing me the same one on her finger but hers in silver. I pull out the gold ring and place it on my finger. "Now you can think about me whenever you look at your hand." She laughs
