I jolt awake in my bed when I feel someone jump on me. I open my eyes to see it was Tyler.

"Happy birthday, Cassie!" He cheered as Avery walked in with a birthday muffin.

Tyler always tries to go hard on my birthday, vice versa too.

I just can't believe I'm now twenty four. Even though my birthday is on April First, I loved celebrating it.

I still try to get a couple pranks in. Tyler rolled off of me so I could sit up. They had a candle lit on the muffin while they gave it to me.

"Make a wish." Avery reminded me. I blew out the candle, but I didn't make a wish.

I already had everything I wanted. A great guy, a great group of friends, and I'm having a great season.

Colby told me how he has something planned for my birthday, but he hasn't told me what it is yet.

He told me to come around seven-thirty so I had time to spare.

I think I was going over to my dads so I could spend time with him. He lives down in Santa Barbara and it's a two hour drive.

I wanna try to leave here soon. "What'd you wish for?" Tyler asked while laying on my bed.

"Mind your own." I tease him. They ended up giving me a couple presents.

I told them they didn't have to but they did it anyway.

Tyler got me a couple new beanies while Avery got me a new makeup kit.

I made sure to thank them as I went to my closet. I need to try to find something to wear.

"You going to your dads?" I nodded my head towards Tyler. I hate how my dad lives so far away.

But knowing we're from Santa Barbara and that's where he met my mom, he wanted to stay there.

It was too sad for him to live in the house alone so he moved into a townhouse a few years ago.

Once I moved out, he couldn't handle living there alone. I feel bad for him, actually.

Him and my mom were high school sweethearts. So when she passed, he took it pretty hard.

He hasn't dated anyone since and hasn't talked about remarrying.

He's a great dad, even when he was hurting, he was trying everything he could for me.

I'm very thankful for him. I put on black skinny jeans, a black tube top, and a large flannel to pull it together.

I put on makeup and do my hair. Avery put my hair in space buns for me since she wanted to do it.

I made sure to thank her while I gather my things. "Tell your dad I said what's up." Tyler yelled when I walked out.

It's eleven so I should get there around one thirty. We were going to eat lunch and hang out for a few hours.

I told him how a friend of mine made plans for me at seven thirty so I can only hang out for a couple hours.

He said as long as he gets to see me, it's okay. I try to see my dad as much as I can but we're both pretty busy.

I'm busy with dance while he works often. I listen to music while I drive.

But halfway through, I got a phone call from Colby. I answer it, it connecting to my speakers.

"Happy Birthday, Beautiful!" I smiled while he happily wished me a happy birthday.

"Thank you baby." I had one of his big ass grins plastered on my face.
