The next morning I woke up and took a shower and went out. I went to the kitchen and saw Dominic cooking.

" Good morning," I said

" Morning and Happy Birthday Kate," Dominic said and hugged me and pulled back and kissed my forehead.

" Thank you and what are you cooking," I said.

" your favourite Nutella waffles," he said.

" Happy Birthday Katie" I heard Stella's voice saying as she made her way towards me and hugged me.

" Thank you," I said pulling away.

" Good morning and happy birthday Kate," Jay said coming forward and hugged me and kissed my cheek

" Thanks, Jay and morning to you too," I said

" Good morning birthday girl," Eli said pulling me in a tight embrace.

" Thanks, Eli bear," I said

" Happy Birthday Katie," Both Ava and Mason said hugging me.

" Thank you guys," I said

" Ok guys let's cut the cake, " Dominic said.

We all nodded our head and went to the dining room. In the centre of the table was the cake. I blew the candles and wished that my friends will always stay safe and happy and I would never meet people from my past.

But not all wishes come true.

I took a piece and fed it to all my friends and they fed me too.

Now all of us having breakfast as I sat between Stella and Ava, to Ava's left Jay was sitting. In front of Stella, Dominic was sitting and to his left was Eli and to the right Mason.

We ate our breakfast in silence. After eating, we were now in the living room.

" Ok time for gifts," Ava said.

" Guys I don't want any gifts. Your love and support is the biggest gift I have received in life." I said.

" Kate consider our gifts as a token of our love and support and I don't want to hear a single thing," Dominic said leaving no space for any arguments.

I sighed defeated and nodded my head.

" here are this gift is from all of us," Stella said handing me two boxes.

I opened the first box and it was the latest MacBook Air.

" Thank you guys," I said smiling at them. They smiled at me in return.

I opened the second box and there was a beautiful dress with accessories.

" They are amazing, thank you so much," I said.

It was now evening and I was in my room getting ready for dinner. Ava and Stella told me to wear the dress that they gave me and I of course agreed.

( jewellery)

( hairstyle)

I went down and Stella and Ava both said: " Girl you are looking like a goddess".

" Guys I think Kate should change, " Dominic said.

" We agree" Mason, Eli and Jay said.

" No, she won't now let's go," Stella said.

Dominic was about to say something but one glare from Stella and he shut his mouth.

The boys were grumbling that it wasn't fair and I rolled my eyes.

" guys are we going to spend the night here or go," I said.

" Let's leave the boys here and go," Ava said dragging me and Stella out.

" Hey, we are also coming" I heard Mason say before the boys caught up to us and we got in the limbo.

After some time we reached the restaurant. It was some fancy restaurant. We went in and the staff showed us our table. We got settled in. The waiter came and when he was taking our order he kept staring at me. And his staring was making me feel uncomfortable but just as I opened my mouth to say to stop staring. The boys beat me to it.

" you stop staring at our little sister," Dominic and Elijah said together.

" Get out of here before we make you," Jay and Mason said.

The waiter looked scared shitless and quickly scurried away.

We all looked at each other and burst out laughing.

" Haha did you see his face," Stella said.

" He looked like he was about pee his pants," Ava said.

" But the next time he stares at you like I won't hesitate to beat him," Dominic said.

" Come on guys leave the poor boy alone," I said.

And we changed the topic. After some time our food was served. As we were eating our food the restaurant went silent. I looked around and saw

The people from my past.

My eyes met with one of them and I quickly turned to my friends.

" Guys we have to leave right now," I said.

" What happened," Stella asked.

" The people I escaped from are here let's leave," I said and got up.

We all got our stuff and paid for the food and just as we were outside the gate. I bumped into something or rather someone. I looked up and saw
