Rejected and Insecure

My birthday

CHRIS

There was a soft knock on my door, I decided to ignore it, I'm so engross with chatting Tina on my laptop, things have gotten really good between us and Brian and I are back to Normal things couldn't be any better for me. 

Tap tap! Here it comes again I sigh. 

"Come in." I'm sure is not any of my last three brothers, they're not that polite, they rather walk in and trash everything. 

Fred walked in, I smartly close the chat, Fred been Fred notice. 

"What are you hiding?" He asked. 

"N-nothing." Jack was right I'm such a bad liar! 

He walk to my laptop trying to reach for the mouse, I shifted it from his reach. "No!" 

He swat my hands away as he took my laptop, going through my chats. Unfortunately I've not written nothing stupid to her yet. 

He sigh, "Christopher you know the rules, no girlfriend till you're at least fifteen." He said. 

"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes. 

"Stop." He warn.

I huff, "she is just a good friend of mine, nothing else." 

"I know better, Christoph today she is your friend tomorrow she is more than just a friend." 

"You're exaggerating, after all tomorrow I'm turning fourteen."

"Oh, about that," he sat on the bed beside me, "I'm going on a trip to France tomorrow and I'll be back as soon as am done with the business, so I won't be able to attend your birthday." He said softly. 

I nodded, deep inside I was sad but at least he didn't just leave like someone I know. "I understand, you can still attend my fifteenth birthday, at least you didn't ask Henry to deliver the message, I appreciate." I said sincerely.

"What do you mean by I didn't asks Henry to tell you? You're not talking about father are you?" 

I sigh before reaching for my laptop. "Never mind, now lemme be done chatting Tina before is bed time." 

He gave me a confused looked for some seconds, "I'll asked Henry to take care of everything, you can invite who you want, uncle Rafael and Kendrick won't be around same with aunt, they're busy. Am really sorry." 

"No worries am okay," I fake a smile. 

He sigh, "am so happy you didn't take it like I expected, I know you're sad deep inside I can feel it, I promise we'll catch up once we're back." 

"I know, goodnight." I smiled for real. 

He stood up and hugged me, "don't let her get too attached to you and you to her." He whispered.

"Fine." I rolled eyes. He walk out the door shutting it behind. 

I quickly say goodbye to Tina after inviting her to my party, tomorrow is gonna be full of fun. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was so exited that I woke too earlier, I jumped out of bed, racing to my bathroom, I took a long warm relaxing bath, I pulled out my favourite outfit. 

A Royal blue skinny jeans, a white collar shirt and a black and gray argyle sweat vest. I brushed my hair, wore my favourite silver watch and golden necklace. 

"Boy am fourteen Now!" I scoop my pet in my arms, he squirmed in my grips, trying to break free. 

The tapping sound on the door interrupted us, I let fluff down, he immediately ran under the bed, I stood up walking to the door, I pull it opened.

"Happy birthday Mr Christopher, here is my gift for you and your breakfast is ready." Henry said. 

I reach for the wrapped package and carefully open it, it was a red baseball cap with CJ printed on it. I smiled "thank you Henry." 

"You're welcome sir your party starts at 2 pm." 

"Where is Fred?" 

"He left earlier this morning with Mrs Stephanie for an important business trip." 

"Fine, um.. Are my brothers awake?" 

"No they're still in bed." 

"Thank goodness," I mumbled. "So my breakfast is special then?" 

"Yes, really special." 

I grinned, "lemme guess, tacos, fries, salad, maize, and Lemon juice?" 

"You'll see." He smiled. 

It was exactly as I predicted, I really love Henry he knows everything about me. 

I spend my afternoon preparing a speech and doing others stuffs, then it was time for party. 

The giant hall was full with friends and unknown friends of friends, as I walk in everyone cheered. 

The party was going smoothly and perfectly. 

Brian walk to the stage and grab the mic. 

"Attention everybody, Chris J will be singing for us." 

Is he crazy! Am not even good at singing I rarely sang, he caught me singing once, he said it was beautiful but I don't think so. 

"Come on CJ don't keep us waiting." He teased. 

"Yeah! Come on!" Everyone chorus. 

I was dragged to the stage by Brian he shove the mic on my face, I shaking reach for it, the noise died down all eyes were on me. 

I cleared my throat

Don't even care about the table breakin' we only wanna have a laugh.

Up up all night

Am only thinking about this am seeing I hope she wanna kiss me back..

Up up all night

Catty perry is on replay, (she's on replay)

DJ got the floor to shake (the floor to shake)

People moving other way (yeah other way)

And I'm still wide awake. 

I wanna stay up all night and jump around until we see the sun...

(Up all night by one direction boys)

I was so into the song people were singing along and jumping, I didn't stop staring at Tina as I sang, she is my source of inspiration. 

They loved my voice, once I was done singing I got out of stage. 

Henry walk up to me with a sad expression. 

"Henry what's wrong? Aren't you enjoying my party?" 

"No, your party is fabulous, I'm going to be absent for sometime, my grand daughter is sick, I need to be there for her." He said. 

"Oh, no worries, I wish her quick recovery." I fake a smile. 

"I'll tell her that." He gives me a hug and leaves. 

I keep staring at the door saddened by the sudden information. 

"Hey?"

I jumped a little before turning around, my heart skip a beat and my palm became sweaty. 

"H-hi." I can't blink, I can't move what is wrong with me?

"Uh... Your voice is great." Tina said. 

"Oh really, thanks." I smiled. 

"Do you want to uh.. Dance.." I was cut off by my brothers barging into the room. 

"s**t!"
