When we pulled up to the house, all the lights were off which was pretty odd for our house especially.

"Hey thanks for taking me there tonight, it was a lot of fun" I grin over at him

"Of course, it is your late birthday after all" he says as I notice Caleb's truck lights park in the street behind us

"Oh they're here" I chuckles lightly "We should probably join them

We both hop out of Dallas's car, we're joined by the other three as we all walk inside together.

"Why is it so fuckin dark?" Beck questions as I open the front door

I quickly jump back into Caleb though as all the lights are immediately switched on and everyone jumps out

"SUPRISE!" Everyone yells

I can't contain the smile that graces my face as I look around at everyone. All of my family was here, well besides Ryan and Lance, and more than half of our school.

"Oh my god" I smile as I run to my brothers and best friends closely followed by Caleb and Beck.

"You guys planned all of this?" Caleb questions them as

"Along with all of our parents yep!" Arrex grins proudly "We even got Tyler to not say anything!"

"Hey! I kept the secret, you can't say shit to me" Tyler whines as he punches Arrex

After a few minutes of greeting everyone, the party is in full swing. All of our cousins are here, our nieces and nefews, our sibling and aunts and uncles plus friends and a whole bunch of people from school. I didn't even know this many people could fit in my house, but apparently it's possible.

They really went all out for this party, we have an actual DJ set up on a platform in our backyard and had speakers hooked up all throughout our house. There were two bounce houses further into our backyard along with a buffet of pizza, burgers, chicken wings, fries, onion rings and fried pickles all from Kane's. The pool toys were all out along and the fun colored pool lights were all on. There was also a screen set up against our house but I have no idea what that's for.

I lost Dallas after about twenty minutes, so I just sit around the bonfire with Arrex, Caleb, Em, Charlie and Summer.

"Don't worry, mom and dad said they're all going over to Kazers at about eleven with the young ones, that's when the real party starts" Arrex with a devious smirk. Leave it to my brothers to get hammered at a party when their parents are right across the street.

"You really have all this shit planned out" I laugh as I take a root beer from Co.

"Always thinking ahead B" he laughs

"Well now I'm excited" Summer smirks "I've never been to a party before"

"Just be careful dude" Caleb tells her "you're probably the youngest person allowed in, so just be aware and don't get smashed like your dumbass cousins" we were probably the best and worst role models in the world, she just turned fifteen like two weeks ago, she doesn't need to start ruining her life yet.

"True that" Charlie mumbles, I glance over at him and see him looking wide eyes at the fire.

"Charlie?" I question

"What's up?" He grins at me lazily

"Are you already fucking drunk?"

"Noooo...Not yet , I would never get drunk while the kids are here. Can't promise about later though" he smirks up at me as he opens his hand to reveal a dab-pen and a flask.

That was our one rule here, no getting absolutely drunk or high when the kids are here. Some people turn into totally different people when they're drunk and a lot of them have no self control whatsoever.

"So, lesson number one...never take after Charlie" I say looking over at Summer who was currently laughing her ass off

"If you need anything, I plan on being mostly sober tonight and same with Ace, we're usually the two sober ones" Caleb laughs as he looks over at Charlie who now somehow has a bag of chips "Just get one of us if you need anything"

"Alright I will, I'm gonna go find Colton" she says as she gets up, quickly smack Charlie over the head while passing him.

"I don't appreciate that!" He yells after her while dropping his bag of chips in the process. I'm still stuck on questioning where the bag came from in the first place.

"Okay can you guys watch him? I wanna kick Caleb's ass in the inflatable obstacle course" I hear Caleb scoff beside me while I look over at my brother and Emma

"Of course, go ahead" Em laughs as Caleb and I practically jump out of our seats

"Get ready to get your ass kicked princess" he smirks as we get in line

"Yeah sure Kazer, I'm a whole foot shorter than you, it gives me the advantage to get through quicker"

"We'll see about that" he snorts as we both get ready to bolt through our holes

"Ready...set...go!"

I jump through the hole quickly and easily slip under the first obstacle. The next one was just these tall inflatable columns that I could push through. After that is was a barrier to jump over that took me a second to get through, leading the last one, the climb wall. I look over to see Caleb jump and reach the halfway mark on the wall with ease. I climb as fast as I can but he reached the top first. I jump and reach the top from where I was at and pull myself off before falling down the slide on the other end.

"So who won Princess?" Caleb questions smugly as I reach the bottom

"Shut up, I would've won if it wasn't for the climby part" I roll my eyes at him

"Aww you seem a little bitter, someone a sore looser?" He teases me "Fine how about, I get you some food and a drink?"

"I'll come with you" I smile up at him. The both of us walk in comfortable silence as we observe the scenes around us. Everyone was so happy, and we were all having fun.

I watch Arrex over by the fire as he tries to catch the goldfish that Em was in his mouth, only to fail and ultimately fall off his chair. Tyler is currently using my nieces cuteness to his advantage in impressing a girl from our schools marching band. He seems to be doing well, she's smiling a lot so I think it's a good sign. Ace and Brett were talking to my parents, while Colton and all of our younger siblings somehow found our old super soakers and were having a water gun fight with a whole bunch of people from school. Even the little ones were in on it. Bexley and another dark haired girl high fived just after shooting both Derek and Sam in the face with their shooters.

Caleb obviously traces my line of sight and lightly chuckles. It was quite funny to watch.

"I've never seen so many people at my house at once" I grin looking around

"I know, I don't even know half the people here," he snorts

"What are you talking about? They're your adoring fans!" I gesture to a group of girls who a ogling the hell out of him right now. I swear I see one of them drooling.

"Wow I have fans" he laughs and shakes his head "I could care less if I had fans or not, those fans specifically only like me because of my looks" he rolls his eyes

"Eh I mean you aren't horrible to look at" I shrug "but that is true, you want to be recognized for your talent, not appearances"

"Yes exactly!"

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I think you are extremely talented in fuckin everything you do" I laugh at the stupid smirk on his face before adding a bit to keep his ever growing ego in check.

"Besides maybe skating, you can't skate for shit"

"That is true" he grins, nudging my arm with his "You and Em had to practically hold me up the last time we went"

"Yeah I know you were like a baby giraffe" I say making him let out a loud belly laugh

"I fucking was!" He says through his laughter

"Caleb! language!" His mom yells at him from behind me as we laugh

"Shit sorry mama" he covers his mouth as his mom raises her brow at him while I can help from laughing some more "I am so sorry"

I can't contain my laughter as I look at the look Kay is sending him. She's giving him the death look. It was always fun when she gave it to other people cause the woman was fucking terrifying.

"I love you mom" he smiles sweetly at her.

She ignores him and walks away.

"I swear she hates me most days" he says with a silly grin as he watches his mom walk away.

"Yeah I do too" I agree with him as I pick up a piece of pizza "Want some pizza?" I ask him

"Nah I'm still full from those donuts"

"Your loss," I shrug with a smirk before taking some fries and friedpickles. My stomach was literally a bottomless pit, I'm serisouly suprised at how I am not dead of heart disease.

He bounces on his feet as he checks his phone

once again, his face lighting up at the screen.

"I got to go" he says quickly before he starts to walk away

"Wait where are you going?" I grab his arm quickly

"Just trust me, I'll be back in like ten minutes" he smiles tensely as he continues walking away.

I just shrug before walking into the house that was adjust as crowded as the backyard. I see Jordan sitting at the counter talking to someone so I make my way over to him.

"Hey birthday girl" Jordan says as he throws his arm around my shoulders and kisses the side of my head

"Thanks Jordy" I roll my eyes at him. I finally see it was Lexi who he was talking to. "Oh Hey Lexi"

"Oh I'm sorry, I know you don't really get along but I just invited her without thinking, she didn't-" Jordan starts rambling nervously

"Jordan it's fine" I say with a grin

"We're good now. Right?" Lexi looks at me for assurance. Sure we weren't friends-friends but we didn't hate each other anymore.

"Oh good" his shoulder visibly drop "I asked if she wanted to come without even acknowledging the fact that you two might still hate each other"

"It's fine! We are okay now" I nod, "Have you seen my boyfriend anywhere?" I questions looking for Dallas, I hadn't seen him almost all night

"He just went outside to look for you" Jordan shrugs

"Hey have you seen a young girl, basically a mini-me only with darker hair?" She asks me "It's my sister"

"Yeah! She was just outside playing with my nieces and nephews, do you want me to go get her?" I ask

"Oh ye-actually no, did she look happy?" She questions with a nervous smile "She can't really play with friends much, I'm just scared to leave her alone and I can't always take her places and-"

"Biggest smile I've ever seen on a kid" I grin at her, she's obviously a nervous rambler too "I'll leave you two to it, I'm going to look for Dallas"

I walk through my whole house, even the upstairs that was blocked off but still couldn't find him. As I start my second round though, I hear the familiar laugh of my boyfriend.

"Hey Dallas!" I grin as I approach him

"Hey babe! Where have you been?" He grins as he looks down at me "and what are you wearing?" He questions, his smile dropping as he looks at me.

It started getting hot after we got back so I changed really quick, I was wearing a white v-neck with the shorts Em gave me when we snuck out to Nicos party and a red white and blue cubs flannel around my waist.

"I changed, it was getting too hot" I smile up at him after looking down at my outfit

He quickly took my hand and took me into the basement which was basically empty.

"What's wrong?"

"Those shorts are way too short" he spits out as he looks down at me I could smell a hint of alcohol on his breath.

"Okay, you're kinda drunk right now, how about you go take a nap I-" I start to say calmly as he just seems to get more mad as I speak

"I don't need a babysitter Belle, what I need is for people to not look at my fuckin girlfriend. It's really hard when she's weary slutty ass clothes" he growls

I just stood there with my mouth agape. I've never been spoken to like this and I'm sure as hell not going to let him start.

"You don't get to tell me what to do. I'm here trying to have fun with my friends and family at my fucking party" my mood quickly turning bad.

"Oh yeah your friends" he scoffs "Speaking of which, where is Caleb? I saw you two over by the bonfire." He rolls his eyes as he states this with evident disgust

"Yeah and? We were with my fucking family. That's besides the point though, I'd love to fucking hear what you have to say about it" I snap at him.

"I've alway fucking hated that dick" he rolls his eyes at me "I knew I shouldn't have let you around him"

"Do. Not. Call. Him. That." I grit out with my teeth clenched. I'm sick of Dallas constantly calling him that, I thought we were over this but apparently not. "What the fuck is wrong with you? You've never acted like this! Go sleep it off and talk to me when your fucking sober" I shake my head at him before storming away to go literally anywhere else.

I rush back into the kitchen where Jordan was now laughing with Em and the twins about something but almost instantly stop when they see me.

"Hey what's wrong?" Em questions, a grin still visible on her face

"Dallas is just being a dick" I huff "What are you guys doing?"

"We were all actually looking for you"Jordan smiles "C'mon were going outside"

I follow all of them outside to see everyone already sitting around the giant screen, all of our friends and family already seated in front. The four of us all plop down on the ground besides Em who instead takes a microphone from the dj.

"Hey everyone!!" She grins while looking over the big crowd "As you all know, it's Caleb, Belle, and Becks belated birthdays. So we wanted to do something special for them. So all of us care together and created this little slideshow for them. So sit back, eat your food and watch the show! I can garuntee it's embarrassing as hell!" She smiles before plopping down next to Arrex

"Did you have any idea they did this?" Caleb leans over and asks me

"Not at all" I grin just as the music starts to play.

The first picture is one of Caleb, the twins, Em Beck and I when we were still in diapers. Beck and I had to be just over a year old and the other four were all at least two. All of us were covered in mud from head to toe.

The next ones that followed were all of us when we were babies. But soon turned into ones when we were just kids. A picture from our dinosaur football party popped up, I was crying because Caleb ate my football cookie. Somehow my dad mustice got a picture of me mid-cry and Caleb mid-laugh.

"That was a fun day" he pulls me closer with the arm he'd thrown around my shoulders, his lips close to my ear as he whispered.

"Yeah for you jackass" I can't help the smile on my face as I said this, looking up at him.

There was another one of me sitting behind Caleb on the couch and braiding his hair when we were in seventh grade. I wanted to practice French braiding but Em and Cheri weren't home and Caleb has the longest hair at the time, so he volunteered to help me.

"Okay is just like to say she just about pulled my fuckin hair out doing that braid" Caleb announces making the whole crowd laugh.

There was another one of just Caleb and Beck from a football camp they did in seventh grade and then another one of all the guys.

The pictures went through eighth grade year; our big eighth grade trip to Galveston, pictures of our last middle school dance, our eighth grade graduation. Then it went through freshman year; our first football game, some from our first parties, and the first time the boys won state. All of them were born for football so it wasn't surprising that they all made varsity by freshman year.

It went through high school and started showing more recent pictures. There was one of me that Cheri must've gotten of Beck and I hugging when I first got home. There was another one of me and Em crying just after we hugged.

There were more from the party that night I got back, ones of Beck and Caleb. Ones with all the boys, then there was the one with all of us. Everyone was smiling brightly and laughing except Caleb and I who were grinning at each other. It was right after he'd called Em insane. I didn't even realize she got a picture of that. We had just seen each other and started talking to each other for the first time in a year, and it was still like nothing had changed.

I look over beside me to see Caleb already smiling at me.

"I didn't even realize the girl got that" I tell him quietly

"Yeah I didn't either" he nods before looking back at the screen

There were a lot that made us all laugh. The ones of Beck and Caleb together were all pretty embarrassing, there was one of him and Caleb both passed out across each other on the beach, and another one of them literally drooling as they were both passed out on the couch.

And of course she had to include a pasture of Caleb and I sleeping at the beach house from the morning we binged old movies. It was a cute picture in I'm being honest but I'm still going to kill the bitch.

"I fucking hate you" I look over at her and mouth

She just makes a heart with her hands and mouth back "love you too boo"

"I'm going to kill her" Caleb mumbles beside me

"I'll help you"

The picture went through so much more, the football games, the dinners at Kane's, and even state, but the last one really made my heart swell. It was an old one of everyone. All of the kids were in it. Zach, Mel, Austin, Kate, Ryan, Lance, Lacey- Lances younger sister-Ace, Arrex, Jordan, Wes, Tyler, Caleb, Beck, Colton, Arya, Lenny, Christian, Cody, Julia, Sebastian, Derek, Sam, Max, Bexley and I. It was the last vacation we went on before Ryan and Lance were shipped off.

After the whole slideshow ended Em got back up with a wide grin on her face.

"Happy birthday to three of my best friends. Words can't comprehend how much I love all three of you." She says before she's practically tackled by the three of us in a hug

"We all love you too Em" Beck laughs

"Oh we aren't done yet" Em smirks as we put her bag down. She motions for Caleb to stand by her before speaking once again in the microphone.

"Now while we have all of you up here, I'd like to ask you guys to stand over there" she says pointing to a spot "now turn around all three of you" she says sending a pointed look to Caleb

"Wait-" Caleb looks at her in utter confusions as she just raises her brows and gives him the scary look. After a three second stare down Em obviously wins and he turns around.

I hear Em mumble something along with the shuffling of feet. Soon after that, gasps are heard before all noise just stops.

"Now turn around" a familiar voice orders.

"All three of you" another extremely familiar deep voice adds

I just freeze as I look over at Beck and Caleb. They had the same look as I did...utter surprise mixed with confusion.

Within seconds though I'm snapped out of it and turn around at a speed the felt inhumanly possible and just collapse to the ground before I started crying,

Ryan and Lance were home.
