Scarlett's PoV

We were all done with eating when we decided to head out the back of the restaurant.

Miss Dolan said she had a surprise, even though the phone and the meal was enough but I can't let her down.

We walked out the back and there was a table with a massive cake in the centre with candles and a sparkler.

"Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Scarlett
Happy birthday to you"

They sang making me giggle.

I walked over to the cake and blew the candles out making a wish. I wished that I would find someone special.

"So what you wish for" Jordan whispered in my ear grabbed hold of my arse and lightly squeezing it.

"Not telling" I slowly walked over to the others trying to avoid Jordan, I don't understand why he's being like this he's never been like this before.

Just as I got to Aaron, Cameron and Brody my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I pulled it out and it said i had a text from Grayson but I don't remember getting his number.

From Gray❤️:
What was that about at the table?

Why is he asking that?

To gray❤️:
How did you get this number, I only got the phone this morning.

With in seconds he replied.

From gray❤️:
When you went to put your make up on I put all our numbers in there before, anyway stop changing the subject what was that before?

What is wrong with him, I looked around to see where he was and I noticed him by the door with his girlfriend right by his side.

How hasn't she court him yet?

I looked back down at my phone to read the text again then locked it and shoved it in my pocket.

It went off a few more times but I ignored it because I'm not going to answer his stupid questions.

To be honest with you nothing happened I just told Jordan to stop touching me and that's nothing to do with Grayson he's got a girlfriend.

"So I got you something" I looked up at everyone and Brody handed me a present.

"How did you get me a present?" He doesn't even leave the house.

"Just open it up will you" I giggled then unwrapped the present .

When I opened the box I froze, how did he even get this no one was aloud near his stuff.

"So" I looked up at Brody with teary eyes "oh don't cry" he pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back.

"How did you get this" he got the wedding ring my mum had and the necklace of me, Brody and the twins in, my dad had it for keeps sake but couldn't wear it.

"I got it when you left that night, I new you wanted to keep it no matter what happened so I thought what better way to give it to you then your birthday" I looked up and wiped my tears away.

"Thank you so much Brody" he kissed me on the forehead then hugged me tighter.

When we pulled away I felt someone's hands on my shoulders, I turned around and seen miss Dolan stood there with open arms.

"Such a lovely gift" wait she new as well "yeah Brody asked me if he should leave it for Christmas Day or for your birthday and I thought it was more special for your birthday" she kissed me on the forehead and tighter the hug.

"So who wants cake" miss Dolan said as she pulled away and walked over to the table.

I could see she had tears in her eyes, I didn't mean to make her upset but I think she's just happy for me.

Everyone got cake but I wasn't in the mood for anymore food not just yet.

Whilst I was stood there I looked around and took in everything that was going on.

I've actually got a family that love me and Brody together, my brothers back on track and happier, I've got 2 new brothers and a sister who are the best in the world. Well don't know about Ethan but he should come around soon.

And best of all I've got a new foster mum who is the nicest women I've ever met.

But to top it all off I've got a nice group of people that like me, well I hope they like me.

"You ok" a manly voice pulled me out of my thoughts "you look like your crying" I looked up and noticed Aaron.

"Oh sorry just thinking" I wiped the tear that I didn't notices falling.

"No. No need to be sorry it's fine to cry" he passed me a cup "it's only punch" I nodded and smiled.

"So how's your day been" he asked standing in front of me still.

I looked up from my cup and nodded "yeah it's been great, glad you came" he smiled then took a sip from his drink.

"See I've been meaning to ask you something since the other week but..." He paused and looked around him.

"Well ahh.." I nodded waiting for him to continue, but I could tell he was really nervous it must be important.

"I was wondering would you.. Would you like to-to go o-out on a da-date" I frowned and he instantly looked down to the floor.

It went silent between us for a little bit whilst he shifted about, he sounds so nervous, I'm guessing he doesn't talk to many girls.

But he talks to Cameron perfectly fine.

"Aaron" I said quietly waiting for him to look up at me "Aaron look at me" he took in a deep breath then looked up shyly.

"Yes I will go out on a date with you, don't be so nervous" I smiled at him then pulled him into a hug.

"Don't be so hard on yourself your a great guy you shouldn't be nervous to talk to me I'm nothing special" when we pulled away he looked straight at me.

"But I got scared just in case you would reject a weirdo like me" I shook my head then smiled at him nudging his shoulders.
