1:24 PM.

I woke up, and grabbed my phone. I turned it on, it was my birthday! I smiled looking through my thousands of notifications of people telling me 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳' or 'HAPPY ⭕️DAY'. I was finally 16, but it felt different...it didn't feel good.

Even tho I got all this love, and support. Notti still wasn't here, it was my first birthday without him. He would usually wake me up, to blasting music and wanting to go do something. Like just last year, he woke me up with the biggest smile on his face. Wanting to go to the deli, or the supermarket to get a cake or some snacks.

Now it's just a cold, and empty room. With me just waking up to Instagram notifications.

But let me think positively today, don't wanna make myself upset now. My phone started ringing, I looked at it, the contact '⭕️Baby' was calling me, I knew it was ddot. I answered the call and put it on speaker. "HAPPY ODAY MH!" He exclaimed, a big smile went cross my face.

"Thank youu, my babyyy." I said in a sleepy voice, "igh, so what we finna do today?", "To be honest, ion even know. It feel regular.." I shrugged, "Nah...don't be like that. If you sad, we gotta do something to make you happy.", "Surprise me.", "Ight baby, I gotchu.", "Okay then, see you later. Safety!!", "see you." He hung up.

Knowing Ddot, he finna do something hella extra, so I got to pick out a nice ass outfit.

I got up and headed over to my closet.

So today was DD's birthday, his first birthday without Notti. So I know he was feeling kinda sad, so I wanted to make this the best birthday for him. Something popped into my mind, what if we flew out...

Like we could do something small today, and I'll surprise him with flight tickets! First place that popped into my mind was Jamaica...Montego Bay:

This was one of the best surprises I ever thought of, and I could afford it so why not. But I'm not an expert with this flying out thing, I might have to ask Jay to help me. But thinking about right now...we could go laser tagging! Maybe like a theme park place, kinda like iPlay America, and then when it gets dark we could go to a nice restaurant.

I should go get a gift tho, let me call Dudeylo for a ride. I picked up my phone and called him, he answered . "Ayo wsp mh, what you need?" He asked, "Hey Dudey, y'know today Dd birthday so I need you to take me to a couple of places." I answered, "Aww you gotta get gifts for ya lil bae.", "Yeah bro...take me to the mall." I smiled, "You betta get something nice for my brotha!" I heard Jay over the phone, "OHH, you got Jay wit you. Shut ya Megamind ass up." I laughed.

"Stop playin wit me bro!", "Ight you got it, I also need some help wit something, I'll tell you when I see you.", "ight, okay my heart, on my way now!" He hung up. I sat down on a bench outside, now waiting for Dudeylo.

I wanted to get him a couple of gifts, I had one Idea that I could get us another matching outfit that we could wear to the airport, maybe some matching kicks to. Then probably some diamond earrings, and just mad other shit ian think of yet. I just know this gonna make him so happy, I can't wait to see the smile on his face.

Dudeylo pulled up right in front of me. "Nigga you mad fast." I got up from the bench, "We was jus close bro." He shrugged, "Where was y'all at?" I asked, "Non of ya business lil nigga." Jay laughed, "You blowin' mine." I smacked my teeth, "What mall you wanna go too? To get a gift for ya gayass boyfriend." Jay joked, "Nigga shut up! Yo boyfriend literally sitting right here." I slapped Dudeylo shoulder, "It's different tho.." Jay fixed his hat.

"How is it different? It's NIGGAS DATING NIGGAS!", "Ayo bro stop talkin like that...it's different cause you only 14.", "only 14 and I got more money then you!", "Yeah okay then, imma take those gifts from Dd and burn them." He joked, "Now you getting me tight." I gripped his shirt, "Who you grabbin' like that? Sit ya lil ass down." He laughed and pushed me back.

"I really don't like you Jay." I glared at him, "But you like my mini me so, stfu.", I just stared at him. Jay keep chattin like I really won't deck his ass.

At the mall 📍.

I decided the first store we could go to is true religion, cause I seen they had some tuff sweatsuits. "You always tryna do some extra shit, he ain't even wanna celebrate his birthday." Dudeylo complained, "Ya dusty ass would do the same thing for Mega mind ova there." I joked, "ight bro not to much.". I continued to look through the sweat suits and just decided to get a regular light grey color.

I walked up to the register and placed the clothes down. "Are y'all wearing this today or smt?" Jay asked, "Nah bruh, I got a whole plan.", "What is it?" Then Dudeylo asked, "Just wait bruh, imma explain to y'all when we sit down at the food court or something." The cashier handed me the bag, "Thank you, have a good day." I smiled at her.

I threw the bag at Jay, making him hold it. "Why you giving me ya boyfriend shit." He mugged me, "That's ya brotha stuff actually." I shrugged, he just rolled his eyes. "We're we going next?" Dudeylo asked, "We need to go to a sneaker store, I'm tryna get some Jordan 4's." I smirked, "You tryna go all out." Dudey laughed, "This not even half of it fr.".

We made it too the sneaker store and I looked around. A blue pair caught my eye and I picked it up, the tag said "Messy room". "Do y'all fw these?" I held them up to Dudey, and Jay. "Them shits ugly asl." Jay joked, "Be quiet bruh," Dudey hit Jay on the shoulder, "They nice, get them." He continued to say. "Thank you bruh, Jay big head ass always got something to say, like I won't do long division on yo forehead." I snapped back, "Keep talkin' like that and I'll really boom you.", "Yeah okay." I rolled my eyes.

I grabbed the shoe and walked up to one of the employees, "Can I get two pairs these, in a size nine." I showed her the shoe, "Yup! I'll be right back." She smiled and walked behind the counter. I looked at the time and it was getting pretty late, ion think we could make it to laser tag, maybe we could just get these gifts then go to a nice restaurant.

She placed two boxes on the counter, "Okay, are you ready to pay?" She asked, "Yeah..." I pulled out my platinum card and placed it in the machine. "Your purchase was all set! Have a nice day." She smiled and handed me my receipt, "You too." I grabbed the bag and walked to the exit.

For the rest of the time, we continued to shop. I got him a pair of diamond earrings, and matching chains for me and him. "Bro...are we done yet, we already got mad stuff." Jay started complaining, "We ain't done till I say we are, I wanna get one last thing." I said, "Like what bruh.", "Maybe like some flowers, and a teddy bear." I shrugged, "Aww, you tryna be so sweettt." Jay smirked, "Shut up bro, just help me find a store like that.", "ight cmon', there's one down here." He started walking in a different direction.

We walked into the store, and they had some pretty nice stuff. I picked out a birthday card, a couple gift bags, and some balloons. Then I handed it to Jay so he could hold it, so I could pick out some roses. "Your so gay bro, Dd don't want no fuckin' roses." Jay laughed, "you really getting me tight right now, Dd loves it Everytime I get flowers." I mugged him, "I'm just playin bro.", "Well you playin' to much, don't make me slap yo ass.", "Okay, let me shut up then."

I picked out a small bouquet of red roses, and a soft, brown teddy bear. Then placed it all on the counter.

Food court 📍.

We sat down with our food, we had got Chick-Fil-a. "So I'm doing a really big surprise, and you guys are included." I pulled out my phone, "What is it?" Dudeylo asked, "Well, I wanna fly out to Montego Bay." I shrugged, both of them had a surprised look on their face. "Thats a bigass surprise." Jay giggled, "Yeah, I wanted to do something very special, and I need y'all help to like...book everything.", "Oh, lemme see your phone then." Dudeylo put his hand out, I handed it to him.

"Ight, so we gotta get the flight tickets, and then book the hotel. How long you planning to stay?" Dudey looked up from the phone, "Uh...four days." I shrugged, "Alright, when we going?", "Hmm, we could leave on Thursday I guess.", "And get a nice place to stay, a luxury oneee...." I continued to say.

"Okay imma look at some Villa's then.", "Alright." I took a bite out of my chicken sandwich. "It's getting dark tho bruh, we gotta go and get Dd." I mentioned, "So...what we finna do now?" Jay groaned, "I wanna go to a nice restaurant, so I gotta go get dressed. Just take me back to my house rq." I stood up and threw my stuff in the garbage, "ight Mr.Darrian." He joked, I gave him a death stare, "Don't say that again.".

Ddot's House 📍.

I got dressed quickly cause we were lowkey pressed for time. I put the gifts together, making them look all fancy. Then I opened the birthday card, and wrote a lil message on it.

I smiled, just thinking about him. Then I closed the card and put it in one of the gift bags. Now I was ready to go, I grabbed the bags, and the roses n' teddy bear. Then I hurried downstairs back to the car, placing the bags in the truck. "Now we could go get Dd." I climbed in the back seat.

I was still sitting here waiting for Dd, I got kinda lonely so I invited Milani over. "Ugh, do you think he forgot about you? Cause this nigga taking mad long." Milani groaned, "No bruh, you ain't even coming wit us anyway." I mugged her cause she just said some retarded shit, "No, I wanna come!" She whined, "Well you ain't, because it's my birthday and I'm tryna hang out with Ddot.", "Your so mean bruh." She rolled her eyes.

"You wouldn't want me to come out wit you and ya boyfriend would you." I made a 'are you serious right now' face. "But he's not ya boyfriend, he's your friend." She sighed, "I still don't want you to come." I smacked my teeth, "ight then, whatever." She plopped down on the couch.

Then there was a knock at the door, I got excited and ran over to the door, swinging it open. It was Ddot, a big smiled went across my face and I pulled him into a tight hug. "Where have you been?" I asked him, "I told you I was gonna surprise you, I was at the mall all day." He answered, "Damn, what was you getting? You was gone for like 5 hours.", "Surprises, I'm telling you." He smiled, "Ight okay then, well I'm ready, let's go.", "What about ha?" He pointed over to Milani on the couch.

"I'll call you an Uber Lani, come wait outside." I gestured over to her, "Ok then." She sighed, she seemed upset but I'm not giving in. She ain't comin' wit us.
