A/N: Read the Authors Note below, it's important ._.

"Happy Birthday!" I exclaimed, jumping on Elijah. Cayden did the same to Emmet as we both started snickering. Elijah groaned under me, as he shoved my face back. "Oh come on! It's your guys' birthday for Pete's sake! Be happy!"
"Get off Cayden, you're so damn fat!" Emmet said, pushing Cayden onto the ground. I put my hand over my mouth, stifling my laughter. Cayden got back up and threw a toothbrush at Emmets' face. "Ow, where the hell did you get a freaking toothbrush from?"
"I had it with me just in case," he said shrugging. Elijah finally sat up, and since I was literally on him, I fell down. Cayden didn't help but laugh. Rolling my eyes, I grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"Come on, there's a surprise waiting downstairs for you guys!" I said happily. Elijah sighed, getting up. Cayden led Emmet while I led Elijah. We covered their eyes with a blindfold as we carefully walked downstairs.
"Is it me or does this feel like kinky stuff?" Elijah said loudly, for everyone to hear. Mom and dad gasped, as everyone else laughed. I slapped the back of his head. "Ow! It's my birthday, jeez lady."
"Yeah, and the sad part is, you guys' are both nineteen but act like fourteen-year-olds," I replied back, taking off his blindfold.
"Happy birthday!" The whole room exclaimed. Elijah nor Emmet reacted, but, instead shrugged. I was a little let down from their reaction.
"Hey, you know, Norah's the one who did all this," Theo told them.
"Thanks," they both mumble in unison. I furrowed my eyebrows, confused to see their attitude. I mean, did I do something wrong? I look back at my family and mom and dad send me confused looks. I smiled slightly, picking my backpack up.
"I'm going to walk to school today," I announced. Why am I so worked up? I put my shoes on, as I look back. Emmet and Elijah are staring right at me.
I smiled at them.
They didn't smile back.
▪| AFTER SCHOOL|▪
"Come on kids, we can't be late!" Mom shouted. "Norah, are your friends coming with us?"
I looked at her, "Only if the twins care."
"We don't," Emmet said, strolling past me. I looked back at Ethan, Jaxon and Carter, shrugging.
Luckily, in school, they weren't avoiding me. Now, we were leaving and going to a bowling place. The twins decided they wanted to go out there.
We got into the cars, West and Theo were going in mom and dads' car instead. Elijah was driving, Emmet was next to him, Cayden, Ethan and Avery were in the middle and Carter, Jaxon and I were in the back.
Emmet turned on the radio, and the song, Youngblood by 5 Seconds Of Summer came on. I couldn't help but start humming to the song as I looked out the window. It was pretty silent in the car, the only thing was heard was my humming. As I watched cars zoom by, I couldn't help but think of Landon.
This song really did remind me of him. The concept of this song is basically about love - surprise surprise - but if you listen closely, you'll understand it fully. It talks about what love does to you, how love works and your love never leaving you. I didn't realize I had tears in my eyes until Carter shook me.
"S-sorry," I said, wiping them away. He didn't say anything, instead, he gave me a soft smile.
He made me lean on his shoulder. Jaxon looked over and whistled, "Carter, trying to make the moves on Norah?" He removed his ring and waved it in front of his face, "Don't forget dude."
Carter just punched Jaxon in the shoulder, making Jaxon wince. Laughing, the car halted to a stop. Everyone left the car, but as I was about to leave, someone made me stop. "Yeah?"
"Norah," Carter said, Jaxon beside him, "If you need someone to talk to, come to us. Don't forget that, ok?"
Smiling I nodded. The three of us got outside, following the others inside the building. It was so pretty. The lights that were a mix of dark blue and purple made my face light up. Everyone was already trying their bowling shoes on. After everyone got their shoes on, we all split up. Since there was twelve of us, we made the decision in splitting into six teams. Mom, Emmet, Elijah, West, Theo and dad were on one, and then me, Avery, Cayden, Jaxon, Ethan and Carter were on the other.
"Yes, I'm up first!" Jaxon exclaimed with joy. I laughed at his childishness, as he went up to the bowling ball rack and took one of the blues on. He aimed it perfectly, he was watching the pins with determination. He walked up to the line, and let the bowling ball go. As it rolled to the pins, into the gutter. Cayden, Avery and Carter snorted as Jaxon turned really red. Turning, he sadly walked back to us.
"Nice try," I said, smiling weakly.
"Yeah, yeah," he muttered, still embarrassed.
Avery's turn was up next, he smirked at Jaxon, before going up to the rack and choosing a purple ball. He aimed carefully, letting the ball go, it swiftly rolled all the way to the pins and he got a strike. Jaxon rolled his eyes as Avery bowed.
"I know, I know," he said, "I'm so flattered."
I couldn't help but laugh at him.
As the guys went up, one by one, I decided to walk over to Emmet and Elijah. I pulled them aside as I dug in my pockets. "What is it, Norah?" Emmet asked.
"These," I said. I gave them both tickets for the airline. Emmet dropped his jaw, as Elijah did the same. I both got them the same tickets since I didn't want them both to be separated. "Hope you like them."
They didn't say anything, instead, they both pulled me in a hug. Laughing, I hugged them both back. "Norah, thank you so damn much! How d-did you know?"
"Duh, you and mom fighting," I told him.
"Yeah, thanks Norah, now we can both go to New York," Elijah said.
"No problem."
"No, we're sorry we didn't show the appreciation. You're the best stepsister ever," Emmet said. I frowned slightly but covered it up with a fake smile.
Elijah nudged Emmet as he coughed. Simultaneously, they kissed each of my temples, whispering something in my ear, "I'm kidding. We love you so, so much!"
Four down.
