"......Happy Birthday to you"
Everyone sang before I blew out my candles. A chorus of cheers and claps followed right after.
"Yay!"
I smiled and looked around me, grateful for the village I have.
My dad approached me and handed me a small pink box.
"Happy Birthday Char." he said with a small smile.
I took it from him and gave him a hug. "Thank you dad."
"Open it." He said, smiling suspiciously.
I did so in front of everyone. As I lifted the cover of the box, a large gasp escaped me.
"No way." I said in shock
Inside was a small key.
He nodded and kept on smiling. "Yes, way. Why don't we take a trip downstairs real quick?"
"Holy shit." I said, still astounded. He grabbed my hand and a ton of us filled the elevator. Within seconds we were on the ground level and before my brain could even process, I was running towards the big doors that led outside.
I gasped. Siting in front of me was a white Mercedes benz AMG C- class sedan with a dark red bow on top. I was in complete shock.
"Tell me I'm dreaming."
"For sure you aren't"
I ran over to my dad and gave him a big hug. I started to sob onto his dress shirt. "Thank you so much dad." I cried into him.
He kissed my on the crown of my head. "Of course peanut." he said with a tiny smile.
I went back to the car and looked to it as if I couldn't believe it was in front of me.
"Looks like we have to have some driving lessons Char." Uncle Greg said as he smiled to me.
"And then we can race." I told him confidently, smiling to him.
"Okay fast and furious, take it easy. Let's take some baby steps first." My dad told us.
I was beyond grateful for my family.
the end.
