CHAPTER 3 I was speechless. Finally, I managed to say "What are these for?" which wasn't very polite as he had just given me a gift and I hadn't even said thank you "I mean thank you," I said "But seriously what are these for?"
"You'll see…" he said taking my hand and leading me to his car.
"I hate it when you say that!" Max just laughed and got in the car. I did too and we then drove off to wherever we were going.
We soon arrived. I got out and followed Max into an old building. It only had one big room with a few chairs and tables. On the table was a few snacks. It also had a kitchen. "Not much of a party," I said, probably sounding a bit harsh "Where is everyone?" Max covered my eyes with his hands and I then heard a big "SURPRISE!" My eyes were then uncovered and I could see my mum and friends with balloons saying "HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!!"
"What?" I said, gobsmacked. I had completely forgotten it was my birthday! How could I forget?
"Well lets not just stand here!" my friend, Amelia said , who had always been a bit wild. Maybe a bit too wild. "Let's get this party started!" Everyone shouted in agreement and the party started. "Did you do all this Max?" I said "I mean did you… did you plan…" I was interrupted by a kiss. My arms uncontrollably moved around his neck. I didn't mind, I was having the time of my life!
About 2 hours past and the music suddenly came to a halt. There came a glow from the kitchen doorway as Vicky bought a cake through, towards me! Soon everyone was singing happy birthday to me in chorus. When they had finished I blew out the candles and made a wish that everyone in my life could be as happy as I was!
At about 11 everyone packed up and went home except me and Max. "I know this sounds obvious but I wanna say as many times as I can." Max said, quietly, pulling me in close "What?" I asked
"I love you!" he said kissing me gently on the forehead
"Well that's good," I said "Cos I love you too!" I hugged him tightly and never wanted to let him go. We stood there for about 10 minutes until I said "We better be getting back, you can stay the night if you like?" I hoped he would say yes and he did "Yea that would be nice." He placed his arm around my hip and I copied as we walked out the building together. I had never felt better, in my life!
I must have fallen asleep, because when I awoke I was in Max's arms being carried up my stairs and into my bedroom. "Hey." I said sleepily
"Hey," Max answered back "I didn't want to disturb you so I tried to be as quiet as I could, I guess that didn't work."
"No." I said as I was placed down on my bed, but I could feel my eyes slowly closing and closing. That's all I remember.
The next morning, I woke up to the smell of pancakes. 'What?' I thought to myself. I went down stairs and saw Max in the kitchen, "Morning!" he said, cheerfully
"Morning." I said, not so cheerful
"I made pancakes."
"I guessed." I sat down on a chair and grabbed a plate. Max handed me a pancake and I smothered it with syrup. Once I had finished I went back upstairs to get dressed. But when I came back down there was a small envelope with my name on it in fancy writing. I opened it up and my eyes grew big in shock. "What is it?" Asked Max
"It's a letter from my dad." I said not quite believing it myself!
