{Spencer's POV}

"Hey Spence, can I talk to you for a sec?" Brendon looks at me before getting up and walk over to the stairs. He has a worried look on his face and I don't think I like the look of it.

"Yeah, sure." I get up and follow him up the stairs. Once we reach his bedroom, he shuts the door behind him. He goes over and sits on the bed looking at the floor. "What's going on?" I ask trying to break the silence.

"I need your help to plan Hannah's twenty forth birthday party." He looks up at me. "But I need you to keep her gift from me a secret."

"Yes. Of course." I sense him relax a bit. "It's not like I would tell her."

"I don't mean her, of course you wouldn't tell her, her own birthday gift." He stands up and walks over to his dresser. He then starts digging through a pile of clothes. What he was looking for, I have no idea. "But I meant Eve or Ryan. I'll do that part."

"Um. Yeah. Okay." I wasn't really sure what he was going with. Or what he had gotten her, but it must be a big deal.

"Alright...here it goes." Brendon says walking over to me..

~~~

{Genevieve's POV}

Brendon had told me about what he wanted to do for Hannah for her birthday. And to tell you the truth, I was pretty damn excited for her.

He had planned on a suprise party later on today. But I had to keep her busy. So what's better than spending a girls day at the mall? Ehh...a lot of things. But that's the best I could think of for her, okay?! But I think I did pretty damn good, since she was pretty damn excited.

We went to a few stores, most of which was Hot Topic. I think we spent most of our day there. But anyways! Now, we are in front of her house and the only car to be seen, was Brendon's. But I knew otherwise.

I had texted Brendon saying that we had arrived. And he responded almost right away say that it was alright to go in. I sighed in relief before I stepped out of the car.

{Back to Hannah's POV}

Today was fun. It was nice to spend some time with Genevieve, and even better now that our little issue was solved a few days ago.

Eve has been on her toes all day today, and I'm not exactly sure why. Yes, today is my birthday, but I still don't understand why she's so jumpy. I stepped out of the car, soon after, Eve did the same. I noticed that Brendon's car was in the driveway, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Okay." Eve stopped me from walking up to the door. "As you can see, Brendon's here, and let me tell you, he put up a huge fight to get you your birthday gift."

"I told you guys not to get me anything." I sighed.

"And when have we ever listened? Hmm?" She crossed her arms.

"Well..."

"Exactly. So your comment is invalid." She smile and turned on her heel, walking over to the door. I just roll my eyes and follow her. She opened the door a crack and peeked in before she looked back at me and smiled. I have no idea what she has planned inside, and I don't think that I really want to know.

Brendon put up a fight to get me my birthday gift... Knowing him it could be anything. Anything I tell you! He could have gotten me a wild tiger for Pete's sake. Not likely, but hey...it's Brendon we're talking about here.

Genevieve stepped inside and opened the door wider so I was able to walk in. But before I was able to place a foot in the door, I was overwhelmed with the sudden yelling of people on the other side of the door, "Surprise!"

"Brendon!" I yell. "What the hell?! I told you I didn't want anything big!" I start laughing and smiling saying hello to people, as I walk inside.

"And when have we ever listened?" He stepped out from around the corner. His arms firmly crossed upon his chest. Everyone laughed and continued on with their conversations.

I roll my eyes and mouth a, 'Fuck you'. His eyebrows raised and smiled before he replied with what looked like, 'Not if you do first.' He winks before turning and heading towards the kitchen.

I roll my eyes once more and continue to say hello. Spencer was the first to walk up and hug me. Then it was Brendons friends Dallon. Who I haven't seen in forever. And then just a few friends of the band, like Patrick, Pete, Joe, and Andy from Fall Out Boy.

"Hanny Bear!" I was then engulfed in a hug from the only person I knew that called me that.

"Kat!" I pull away smiling, my hands resting on her shoulders. "My god. I missed you so much."

"Same here." She smiled back. "Happy birthday, doll." She then turned around and walked a ways before turning back pulling along what seemed another person. "This is from me!" She then pulled the person out from behind her.

"Agh! I've always wanted a Jaimee!" I smile and hug her also. "So, what do you think about them being here?" I point over to where Pete and Patrick were standing.

"Amazing."

"Thought your say that." I bite my lip smiling.

"Uh oh. What's going through your head?" She took a step back.

"Have you talked to them yet?"

"No." She seems nervous.

"Well, we have to fix that, now don't we?" Her eyes widen in a 'This is actually happening?!' Sort of way. I grab her hand and pull her along through the living room. Once we were within a ten feet radius, Pete had noticed us walking over.

"Hey birthday lady." He winked and Patrick turned around and smiled.

"Happy birthday." Patrick said smiling, his fedora crooked atop his head.

"Thanks guys." I give each of them a hug before pulling Jaimee out from behind me. Who of which is still in shock. I place my hands on her shoulders. "This is a very special person that I would like you to meet."

"Hey, it's nice to meet you." Patrick held out his hand and Jaimee slowly reached out to shake it. "May I ask what you name is?" He smiles.

"J-Jaimee." She says.

"I'll let you guys talk." Jaimee quickly shot me a worried look. "You'll be fine." I smile at her and look up to Pete.

"Don't worry I'll get her talking!" Pete grabs her arm and pulls her along. Patrick starts laughing, almost spilling his drink.

"Good luck getting out alive." I yell over. Pete gives me a devious look before turning his attention back to Jaimee.

I say hello to a few others that had arrived and I was actually really glad that Brendon had arranged this party. It was nice to see people that I hadn't seen for awhile.

But the one person that I had hoped would be here as soon as I got inside, wasn't. And I was kind of upset about it. But I'd rather him be in the hospital and safe, than here and taking a risk.

"Alright everybody!" Brendon shouted over the crowd of people. "It's time for gifts!" Everyone cheered and all huddled around a table grabbing their gift. I really didn't want anything, but you know them. Never listening.

~~~

I smiled as the gift giving was finally done. I got a few shirts and bracelets with my favorite bands on them. Which I loved. Then I even got a black, studded, lace-up pair of boots. There was a slight heel and it went about half way up my leg. They were pretty cool.

"Thanks you guys!" I run up to my room and put everything away. When I get downstairs, Genevieve and Jaimee were waiting for me.

"Come on!" They said together. Eve had grabbed ahold of my left hand as Jaimme grabbed my right hand. They pulled me through the crowd of people. I had to keep saying sorry to the people we bumped into. They had just waved it off like it was nothing.

"I have two more surprises for you." Eve and Jaimee handed my hands over to Brendon, who gladly took them. He brought me over to the kitchen table and made me sit at one of he chairs. "First off.." He stepped aside and everyone was looking at me excitedly. Honestly, I didn't know what the hell was going on. Or why they were all antsy. They must all know something in dont.

"Man on crutches! Excuse me! Coming through!" I gasp at the sound of his voice. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as Ryan weeved his way through. "Happy birthday, Hannah." His smile was filled with joy. I felt like I couldn't move. I couldn't believe that he was actually here. He walked his way over and wrapped his arms around me. I couldn't help but do the same back.

"Thank you Ryan."

"You're my sister. I've got to say it sometime." He pulls away and smiles. Then he leans over and whispers in my ear. "Brendon told me everything. That night on the bus, why Sarah did what she did. And to tell you the truth, he's lucky to be alive." I chuckled at his comment. "And I will always protect you, I will always try to keep you away from danger. And by that I mean other guys. But there's one guy, that it's seems like whatever I do, I cannot get him to stop seeing you. Or talking to you. And I guess that I'm just going to live with that. But I just wanted to say, that I will always be the over-protective brother that you've known for all these years." He stood up again and his eyes were puffy from tears flowing down his cheeks. He then turned towards Brendons and nodded. Brendon took a deep breath before stepping towards me, his hand in his pocket.

"Hannah, I know this may seem like it hasnt been okay around here for some time. But I thought that this would be the perfect time to ask you this, in front of our dearest friends." He then got down on one knee and pulled out a small box, which when he opened it, there was a simple golden ring lying inside. "Hannah Ross, will you marry me?"

***BA BAAAM!!!***
