*Tessa*
I went upstairs to my room.
I paused for a second and looked at the picture of Selena and I. My whole childhood flashed in front of my eyes.
Selena was never only my best friend, more like my blood sister, I would say. She has been with me through thick and thin. She stayed over when mom died and would get me ice cream boxes everyday after school until I started moving on.
She had always put me before herself and i'm forever appreciative for that.I'm appreciative for having her as part of my life.
I grew up with this girl thinking she was my sister. She too lost a loved one, her father, but at least she got the chance to meet him, but the problem is she just got too attached until cancer took over his body and she had nothing in her hands to do.
So my dad had always been like a literal father figure to her, same with her mother, Amanda. She had always treated me like I actually stayed in her womb for 9 months. She never treated me differently than she treated her own daughter.
I grabbed my phone from my bed and unlocked it to call Selena and tell her to come over.
She instantly answered.
" Guess what ! " I said excitedly, trying to hide my disappointment that she obviously forgot my birthday.
" I'm listening " weirdly enough, her voice was extremely low.
" What's today Selena, come on ! " I said trying to encourage her to remember by herself.
" Monday, I guess, why? " She sounded suspicious
" Selie! Today is my birthday ! Seventeen ? " I said trying not to sound disappointed.
" Tessa Irwin, it hurts my very sensitive emotions that you think I would forget a day I have been waiting for since your last one "
" What, I don't get what you're trying to say " I laughed at her deep selection of words.
" What I'm trying to say is- "
" Selie? Selena ? Hello ? "
That goddamn service !
The door was slowly opening
" Not now dad , please "
" What I'm trying to say is happy birthday to my one and only sister "
Selena came in the door. The look of shock on my face was priceless . I didn't hesitate and went up and hugged her so tightly, we both couldn't breath.
" Tess, you're my sister ! Now how on Earth would I forget !? "
" I've been here since the beginning of our call " She giggled.
" Oh god I adore you " I smiled
" Ya I know. I mean you really should " She teased me.
" And guess who's staying over !? " She shouted unnecessarily loud.
" YESS! " My eyes bloomed
" So I got us a bunch of movies we can watch together with David "
" Great! Show me what you got there "
We both sat cross legged on the bed and started going through the CDs
" There's (The fault in our stars) (Me before you )(Marley and me)( The notebook) and ya that's pretty much it "
I looked at her with confusion
" Selie, you know I'm really not looking forward to crying my damn soul out on my birthday"
"Oh- ya you're right so now what? "
" Um no clue, really "
" Maze runner ? " Selena's eyes sparkled
She always had this undeniable crush on Dylan O'Brien and I mean come on, who could blame her!?
"Maze runner." I replied
