Jason

I clenched my jaw tightly, trying to keep my face calm - but it was hard when my stomach began to grumble.

So much for a birthday dinner - I asked for lasagna... they brought out some small slither of a slice. How is that even a meal? Starving children around the world wouldn't even fill up on that shit - okay maybe I'm being dramatic. But it's my birthday, and I'm slightly feeling self entitled.

Oliver is worse though.

As Rob drove us into our street, I took little notice that there was a few more cars parked along the street than normal.

Maybe the neighbours are having a barbecue - if so I'm fucking gate crashing.

"Did you enjoy your dinner?" My so called mother decided to smile back at me as we pulled into the driveway.

"I can feel my ribs from lack of food." I spit more nastily than I intended.

Mum decided to just laugh at that, like it didn't matter if I liked my own birthday or not. Maybe she thinks I'm joking?

I pouted, "Can I go to Justin's?"

Surely Justin would fix my birthday now that it's been ruined with crumbs for dinner.

"No. He's busy." Rob replied and I literally stomped my foot as I got out of the car, "Jason, did you turn 2 today?" He laughed lightly.

"I'm getting stoned, fuck you guys." I snapped, unable to hold back my grumpiness.

Mum simply flicked my ear, "Don't be ungrateful."

I huffed, "I'm not ungrateful... I'm starving."

Mum and Rob both laughed at me, as if I were being stupid.

They walked ahead of me, unlocking the front door.

I sighed as we walked into the house. It was unusually dark... if Oliver was home alone, he flicked on every light because he'd freak out.

"Is Oliver home?" I asked.

Rob and Mum didn't reply, instead walked into the lounge room.

I followed, feeling annoyed as I flicked on the light behind them.

"SURPRISE!" A loud eruption of voices came at me as people jumped up from their crouching positions.

I jumped back, startled by the full room, accidentally tripping backwards and landing on my ass.

I groaned, hearing a few people laugh, but I was helped to my feet instantly by my Uncle Ralph.

I sent him an awkward smile as I looked around to see who was here.

Justin, Pattie, Jeremy, Niall and his friend Harry - Max, Cynthia, Patrick, Chaz and Heaven, along with Parker, Zeke and my Grandma.

Of course Oliver was here too, on his phone as usual.

"Happy birthday, sport." Ralph ruffled my hair up, and I sent him a crooked smile.
