"Welcome to your birthday party" Dad said.

"Yeah a party for just us" I said with a smile.

"Who said so?" He asked.

Ding dong

Who will be here.

"I'll go and see who it is" I said walking towards the door.

"Hi we came for your birthday party. Hope we aren't late" Hailey said with a smile.

"No you aren't come in" I said with a fake smile.

Guess it's not the birthday party I wanted. Now my old friends are here acting like they didn't bad mouth me yesterday.

"Why are you wearing black? It's your birthday you have to be in something more lively" Briana said and I gave her a fake smile.

"I like black" I said.

Ding dong

Now who is here again.

"Happy birthday sister hope we aren't late" Oh gosh please not today. Why?

"Of course not come inside it just started sister" I said with a fake smile.

"Happy birthday Aislinn" Alessia said.

"Thank you" I said with a fake smile.

"Happy birthday Aislinn" Someone said from behind. So they are dating?

"Thank you Darius" I said with a fake smile.

"We are not dating if that's what you think" he said.

"Look I don't care if you two are dating or not" I said walking inside.

"I'll be in my bedroom. Have a wonderful evening" Dad said and Doctor Williams pushed him away.

"Mommy Aislinn I want to go eat" Ezzy said.

"Sure why don't you go to the kitchen and get yourself something to eat I'll be at the back" I said and she nodded running off and I walked out to the backyard.

I put my airpods in my ears and listened to arcade and before I realized I was singing along.

Silence ringing inside my head

Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home

I've spent all of the love I saved

We were always a losing game

Small-town boy in a big arcade

I got addicted to a losing game

Oh, oh-oh-oh oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

All I know, all I know

Loving you is a losing game

"I see you haven't lost it Ash" Someone said and I turned to see someone I didn't expect to see.

"Lee!" I hugged him.

"I missed you so much" I said hugging him tighter.

"Yeah me too but aren't you too old to be carried by me?"he asked.

"Nope" I said.

"So I wasn't missed?" I looked behind Lee.

"Marc!" I said trying to leave Lee's grip.

"Hey let me go" I said.

"Nope" he said.

"Let her go Levi" Marc said hitting the back of his head.

"Fine sheesh" Lee said letting me go.

"I missed you" I said.

"I did too" he said.

"How are you guys here I thought you were across the world touring or something" I said.

"We wouldn't miss your birthday and the old man said you wanted your favourite celebrities so here we are" he said.

"Ooh that's where you have it wrong it's Gigi and Zayn" I said and they frowned at me.

"Hey I'm kidding it's you two" I said and they smiled.

"Let's go inside it's not nice to be alone on your birthday" Marc said and I nodded walking inside with them.

"Twenty four gifts each for your twenty forth birthday and here is gift number one" Lee said. Yep twenty four. I had Alessia at the age of sixteen. I was home schooled so it wasn't a problem and when I was twenty Darius and I got married and on my twenty first birthday he cheated on me.

"Thanks Lee" I said opening it and it was keys. Not just any keys. Lamborghini key.

"And here is mine" Marc said giving me another box and it was a Tesla key.

"You guys still remember" I said.

"Of course we aren't going to forget" Lee said.

"Come on sit down and let's open more presentsx Marc said.

"Wait how do you know Marcus and Levi Santiago?" Harriet asked.

"We are her brothers" Lee said.

"Brothers?" Everyone asked.

"Yeah" Marc said.

"They were the brothers you never wanted us to meet?" Darcy asked. Oops I guess it was for a good purpose though.

"Yeah they're my brothers" I said.

"Darius bro. Long time no see" here it goes.

"Hey. Yeah long time" Darius said.

Crack! Crack!

"I deserve that" Darius said holding his jaw.

"Why did you hit my daddy?" Alessia asked.

"Don't worry princess I deserve that" Darius said.

"They hit you because of Aislinn right. I told you she's not good. I hate you so much" Alessia said.

"Just ignore it" I said to Lee and Marc who were staring at me.

"Let's open the gifts" Lee said and I nodded.

"That's from me" Hailey said. It was a makeup kit which was used but I didn't let anyone see it.

"Thanks. I really appreciate it" I said with a fake smile.

"That's from me" Harriet said. It was an old dress.

"Thanks I love it" I should have known they were here for another reason.

" That's from your favourite brother" Lee said.

"Hey I'm the favourite brother" Marc said.

"Whatever thank you for the envelope Lee" I said.

"Open it" he said and I nodded.

"A hundred and twenty tickets for you and four friends to visit twenty four countries" Lee said.

"Thanks but two each will do. Ezzy and I can visit the twenty four countries" I said.

"Ezzy? Where is she?" Marc asked.

"She's upstairs with your father" Briana said.

"Keep all you might go with someone else" Lee said.

"Sure thanks" I said.

"That's from me" Mariah said. It was a picture of her in bed with Darius.

"Thanks so much Mariah it was very thoughtful" I said putting it down.

"That's from me" Marc said.

"Thanks Marc but I don't need a year supply of your merch" I said.

"It's not my merch it's Gucci, Versace,Dior, Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Moschino and Channel" Marc said.

"Thanks Marc" I said.

"That's from me" Alessia said. I opened it and it was a picture of us. All pictures of us and all the stuff I bought for her.

"I don't need them anymore so I decided to give it back to you" she said.

"Thanks Ezzy will love it" I said and she glared at me.

"I gave it to you not Ezlynn" Alessia said.

"I know and I will give it to Ezzy" I said and she glared at me.

"Why is she like that to you?" Lee asked.

"I'll tell you later" I said and he nodded.

I opened so many old and useless gift and useful ones from my brothers.

"That one is from me" Darius said. It was a necklace with my name inscribed on it and a note which said sorry.

"Thanks. It's amazing" I said with a smile.

"Mommy Aislinn you forgot mine" Ezzy said running down the stairs with a box. I opened it and it was a drawing me.

"Thanks Ezzy I love it" I said hugging her.

"It took me two months to prepare that for you. Since you stopped celebrating your birthday I decided to make this for you to make you happy" she said and I smiled.

"Thank you Ezzy" I said. I saw Alessia looking at us with jealousy. I wish she was here too.

"And the final gift" Marc said giving me a big box.

"We got you money,car, clothes, tickets,and everything you need but the final and most important one is here" he said.

I opened it and it was stacked to the top.

"Yep me" he said and I shook my head.

"It's a compilation of all my photoshoot. Take it out" he said and I removed it but something else caught my eye.

It was me. I was smiling more like laughing.

"It's been long since I saw that look on your face. Happy birthday Ash" Marc said and I hugged him.

"Don't you think you are too old to be carried?" Marc asked.

"Nope" I said and he chuckled.
