Once again I was at a table with a cake laid out in front of me, candles lit with wax slowly melting down their sides were pushed into the sweet frosting, but there was nothing sweet about today. You see, today was my eighteenth birthday and truth be told I've never really liked my birthday. I didn't like the sudden attention they came with off random family members you hear nothing from throughout the rest of the year only getting a card with a scribble and if you're really lucky a fiver inside. However, my mother insisted I have a small party to celebrate as "You only turn eighteen once" while that may be true it didn't mean much to me. The last year had brought me so much love and pain. I just wanted things to be normal again, I just wanted to be happy. My family and friends finally came to a stop after singing the overly cheery song we all have to face when it's our birthdays, and everyone went silent so that I could blow out my candles and make a wish that will never come true. I looked around me and pretended to think about my wish, of course, I already knew what I wanted but they didn't know that.
