May 13.
"Wake up Janeia!" I heard an unsure voice calling for me while I moan
"What?" I sad half my eyes closed
"Wake up sleepy head!" Domn said
"It's my birthday, I want to sleep."
"It's your birthday exactly, so you need to wake up!"
"Why?"
"Because I made your favorite" Ella popped in
"No." I said pouting
"Yes you are going to wake up" he said as he carried me downstairs.
"What are you doing" I shrieked
"Walking. Breathing. Blinking. Talking to you."
"Very funny." I paused as I smelled something good. "What's that smell?"
"It's your red velvet cheesecake Janeia!" Ella said handing me the tray.
"Oh my gosh Ella, I never baked these for a long time now."
"I know that's why I baked it for you"
"Aww thank you so much Ella, your the best ever"
I heard music playing.
' I can't sleep tonight'
'Wide awake and so confused'
'Everything's in line'
'But I am bruised'
'I need a voice to echo'
'I need a light to take me home'
'I kinda need a her'
'Is it you?'
'I never see the forest for the trees'
'I could really use your melody'
'Baby I'm a little blind'
'I think it's time for you to find me'
"This song. It's old but I still remember" I said as hearing the music getting closer.
'Can you be my nightingale?'
'Sing to me'
'I know you're there'
'You could be my sanity'
'Bring me peace'
'Sing me to sleep'
'Say you'll be my nightingale'
'Somebody speak to me'
'Cause I'm feeling like hell'
'Need you to answer me'
'I'm overwhelmed'
'I need a voice to echo'
'I need a light to take me home'
'I need a star to follow'
'I don't know'
I saw Domn sanding there. Wearing a tux. Looking like my escort.
'I never see the forest for the trees'
'I could really use your melody'
'Baby I'm a little blind'
'I think it's time for you to find me'
'Can you be my nightingale?'
'Sing to me'
'I know you're there'
'You could be my sanity'
'Bring me peace'
'Sing me to sleep'
'Say you'll be my nightingale'
I walked towards him.
"Did you plan did all your own?"
"No. Ella helped me." He said while he put my hand on his shoulders and put his hands on my waist
'I don't know what I'd do without you'
'Your words are like a whisper cutting through'
'As long as you are with me here tonight'
'I'm good'
"Waltz in the morning? Wow. You clearly didn't think this through."
"Relax. Your 16 now your more than a teen"
"Yeah. I know."
"Just promise me one thing," he paused. "
'Can you be my nightingale?'
'Feels so close'
'I know you're there'
'Oh, nightingale'
'Sing to me'
'I know you're there'
'Cause baby you're my sanity'
'You bring me peace'
'Sing me to sleep'
'Say you'll be my nightingale'
"You'll trust me and Ella"
"Yes. Of course, I already do"
"I know you already do but there's something we'll do."
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you yet."
"Ok then"
The music ended.
"Psst. I made you breakfast." Ella said
"Breakfast We don't eat-"
"Of course you eat breakfast Domn" Ella said cutting in
We ate breakfast and the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Domn said as he quickly stood up
"Hello sir good day, I have a package for Ms. Ja-ne-ia Ha-tha-way
"For me?" I said while I stood up surprised and shocked
"Sign here please."
"Thank you!"
"I wonder who's this from" I said and picked the card. "It's from dad and it says:"
'My darling, Happy 16th Birthday and Have a good one. Enjoy your party! -dad
"Well open it." Ella said while chewing her food.
"Wow. That's pretty!" Domn said surprised.
"Oh my god, I love it!" I said shocked.
"Anyway guys I have to go. Venue doesn't check itself you know" Ella said and waved goodbye.
10:47 AM.
"Let's get ready we have to be there at 12 sharp." Domn said
"Ok. Go get ready"
"You too"
We parted our ways and got to each other's rooms.
I took my dress up stairs and took a warm bath. I wore my dress it was colored black and red. Simple yet very unique it was a knee high and it looks pretty fit. It has black net sleeves and turtleneck net but the body is color red. I wore these cute pearl earring and whale necklace that Domn gave me when I was 5. I braided my hair into a side waist braid and left it like that. I wore only light make up and I wore these rubber shoes heels that Ella gave me 2 weeks ago and I was done.
I walked downstairs and saw Domn. Man, he looked stunning, gorgeous and sexy for my brother. He wore a shirt with sleeves that's color green and skinny jeans and rubber shoes. (Just for the record me and Domn loves rubbershoes)
"Wow. You look very beautiful" Domn said spinning me around
"And you. I admit that you look handsome and sexy with these clothes" I sad with a giggle
"Let's go now."
"Yeah, sure."
............
*30 minutes passed we arrived at the venue*
It was all vampires like. The darkness the lights and the decorations. I can't believe I'm sating this but this is really creepy. I was looking forward for a garden party or something, But be contented of what you have.
*6 hours later*
"Before the party is over I just want to say a few words to Janeia." Ella paused "Hi. I'm Ella Castille and Jan this is for you. Janeia Hathaway. She's crazily obsessed with vampires yeah get over it, And yeah Janeia I practiced saying the 'vampire word' for this. Happy 16th Birthday Janeia! I love you so much. Stay the same, As your Bestfriend I'm so lucky that I have you. I'm so lucky that I'm a part of your life and you know you can't all have a Janeia Hathaway but I'm certainly proud that I'm one of the luckiest people to have Janeia Hathaway in my life."
"Um.. Testing 123.. Testing 123"
"DOMN I LOVE YOU"
"SLEEP WITH ME DOMN"
"DOMN IM HOT FOR YOU"
"Alright slut whores settle down" Ella shrieked "aren't you just ashamed of how bitchy you girls are? For once can you treat this Domn Hathaway like a normal kid. He's not a celebrity you know. Oh and by the way, Janeia won't let you touch, talk our breathe Domn's air bitches" Ella said pissed.
"Alright. Thank you Ella for that wonderful speech you just said. Hello I'm sure you know who I'am, I'm Donm Hathaway, Brother of the birthday girl Janeia Hathaway. First of all I would like to say a Happy Birthday Janeia, Wow. Your 16 already, I can't believe it your not my baby sister anymore, Your a big girl now and I'm thankful that you've grown beautiful, talented, fierce, happy, selfless, smart and a very lovable person. I love you so much and I wish as you grow older you'll make the good descions. We've been through a lot our problems, taks, experiences and everything and that never affect or change your personality. I love you so much baby sister, And I'll be right here when you need a shoulder to cry on, when you need a cheerleader to cheer you on and when you need a clown when you need someone to make you laugh, I'll be here. I love you Janeia. Oh and this tape is for you!"
The tape is my pictures when I was born and up to present. I cried because I missed these memories that will never come back again. It's time to make new ones. The people around me, they're all here. I miss them.
..........
The party ended at 10. Everybody left.
"Hey Ella! Janeia! Were going now." Domn shouted
"Oh. Ok"
"Where are we going?"
"The garden."
.............
"I don't like this place it's scary."
"Trust Domn he'll know what to do." Ella said
"Domn? What does she mean?"
Ella suddenly hugged me, and cried she let go.
"Trust me Janeia" Domn said as he hugged me.
"I love you so much Janeia" he said and and he touched my cheek.
I didn't know what he was doing but it hurt. It made me lose my vision. I couldn't see, everything was blur. I fell and saw nothing but pitch black.
Ella and Domn left me....
