Harmony Pov.
I wake-up and look at the time it is 12:00 p.m. I feel refreshed.
Today is April 23rd; my birthday. My birthday is on a friday, I don't have to go to school.
I look to the side of me and see Berkley half way off the bed.
I quietly laugh.
For about 5 minutes, I was debating if I should get up or keep laying down.
I got up and walked downstairs into the kitchen, that is where I saw my 2 uncles.
" happy birthday " They said at the same time.
" thank you." I replied.
They hugged me.
I sat in the chair, looking bored as ever cause I didn't know what to do.
" happy birthday." I heard someone say behind me.
I turned around and saw Berkley.
" thank you." I said.
She smiled.
Berkley walked our to me, sat in my lap and hugged me tight.
I hugged her back. We didn't let go go about 5 minutes. My legs started to go numb.
" get up." I whined.
She smiled and shook her head.
" please." I pleaded.
She got up and sat on the couch. I turned the tv on to Criminal Minds.
I heard a groan. I looked at Berkley and she looked upset.
" what is the problem, this is my favorite shows." I said.
Berkley rolled her eyes.
" what are you doing for your birthday today?" she asked.
I thought for a second.
" um ... I wanna go to Elle's." I said.
" ELLA'S IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN ARKANSA." I yelled.
Uncle Meho, CeCe and Aunt Kami came into the living room laughing.
" she loves that place." Uncle CeCe commented.
I nodded.
" what time you wanna go to dinner?" Aunt Kami asked.
" 5 p.m." I replied.
I got up the chair and ran upstairs to my room to get dressed.
I walked to the closet and just stared at the different clothing in the hangers.
I chose a black sleeveless shirt, pale pink pants, a pale pink blazer, and black ankle boots.
After I found my clothes, I went into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth for 10 minutes.
I turned on the radio.
Then I stripped my pjs off and hopped in the shower.
A great song happened to come on so as I was showering I was singing.
Another day
Of painted walls and football on the TV
No one sees me
I fade away
Lost inside a memory of someone life
It wasn't mine
I was already missing
Before the night I left
Just me and my shadow and all of my regrets --
Before I could finish the song. I hopped out the shower because I was getting pruny.
I dried myself off and walked into my room to get dressed. The only thing I didn't do was put my shoes on.
I had put my slides on instead. I sat on the bed and read for a while.
~ 3 hours later
I walked out of the room and knocked on the bathroom door.
" I'm taking a shower." someone said.
I walked back to my room, and closed the door. There wasn't anything for me to do.
All I did was sit on the bean bag chair in the corner and read another book.
The door opened scaring me.
" dude you scared the cheese out of me." I said.
Berkley walked in and started laughing hysterically while I'm pouting.
" stop pouting and help me pick an outfit." she said.
I smiled and help her pick out clothes.
I walked to the other closet and soof there looking for something more Berkley style.
Then I saw it.
It was a sleeveless blue shirt, black skinny jeans, and black ankle boots.
" thanks" she said.
I nodded.
I covered my eyes as she was getting dressed. When she was done I uncovered my eyes.
" you look amazing." Berkley said.
" and you look cute." Harmony said.
Berkley and I walked downstairs and saw my uncles and aunt looking at us.
We were holding hands.
" what?" I asked.
" you two are so cute together." Aunt Kami said.
I smiled and looked at Harmony.
" what time is it?" I asked.
" it's quarter to 4" Aunt Kami said.
I ran upstairs and took my slides off. I put on my black ankle boots.
Then I walked downstairs and out the door waiting on people.
" Kami, Berkley your coming with me, Harmony your going with Jole " Uncle Meho said.
" but I wanna go with Berkley. " I whined.
Uncle CeCe pulled me aside.
" sweetie you can just go to me, we have someone I need to pick up, and I want you to see." He said.
I pouted, crossed my arms, and shook my head.
" please." Uncle CeCe pleaded.
I shook my head.
Uncle Meho came over. He lifted me up and put me in the car. He put the child lock on so I couldn't get out.
The rest of them got in their car and Uncle CeCe got in his car.
We were off and went in different directions.
~ 1 hour later ~
Uncle CeCe have been driving for awhile and I was starting to get bored.
I had forgot my phone in the room so I couldn't text or call Berkley. What? call me clingy.
When we stopped it was in front of a house that I didn't recognize.
" wait here." Uncle CeCe said.
I nodded.
I saw him left and walk up to the house. He knocked on the door and a women came.
The women and Uncle CeCe started walking to the car.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the window. I couldn't open the door, I was in the back seat.
Uncle CeCe opened the passenger side, a women got in and then Uncle CeCe got in the driver side.
" you remember me?" The women said.
I shook my head.
" I wanna see Berkley." I whined.
" you'll see her soon." Uncle CeCe commented.
I sat back in the seat snd pouted.
The women and Uncle CeCe just laughed at me. Why is she here? Who is she? I thought.
The drive was an hour and a half long snd I couldn't wait ro see Berkley.
I saw Ella's and I couldn't wait anymore excited for two reasons. I get my favorite meal and I get to see Berkley.
The car finally stopped and he parked the car next to Uncle Meho car.
" BERKLEY." I yelled happily.
I was running out the car to her. I hugged her from behind tightly not wanting to let go.
I held her hand even though I was still hugging her.
" babe you gotta let go." she said.
I shook my head. Berkley looked at the others for help.
" Sierra Leone-Conner." Uncle Meho saip puzzled.
When he said that, I tensed I knew that name it was my mother's name.
" mom?" I said and looked at her.
She nodded and started walking towards me and Berkley like she wanted a hug.
I walked away from her with Berkley hand in hand.
The rest of them walked towards us and got a table just like that.
" my name is Luke, what can I get for you all." He said.
We thought about it for a while
" salmon with rice and cola."
" I would like a burger with fries and a sprite."
" can I get spaghetti and a pepsi."
" steak with string beans and grape soda please."
" may I have a tuna melt with sprite "
" um ... can I have ... lasagna ... and sprite."
After every one ordered we waited for a while. We were chatting and having fun.
The food finally came and I was overjoyed to eat my tuna melt.
" you look so beautiful." I said.
I ignored all the others around me and I was eating my yummy tuna melt and my sprite.
I was the first one done so I was waoting for the others.
~ 15 minutes later ~
They were done. My mom paid the bill and we got into the cars and drobe to my uncle and aunts house.
" can Berkley and I go to the park?" I asked.
Aunt Kami nodded.
Berkley and I walked to the playground part of the park.
I was swinging on the swings, while Berkley was pushing me.
" I love you." Berkley said.
" and I love you" I replied.
Then we stopped swinging and sat by a tree just watching the clouds.
