"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to #Finessa! Happy birthday to you!" I slowly drew my eyelids open and sit up on my bed, Finn following the same thing.

The whole gang was in my room with cameras held in their hands, I smiled softly as I looked at the cake in their hands.

"Ugh, you guys are so cringey." I rolled my eyes with a loud chuckle and shook my head.

"That's what we're here for!" Matt squealed in a high pitch voice.

"After the whole break up, y'all still remained as best friends and I could never." Sophia snickered and crossed her arms. 

"Way to make it awkward, Soph." Sadie winced and shoved her out of the room.

"Listen, guys, the show is at 7 pm so we need to spend this day like it's our last." Cam sat on the chair across out bed. 

Once Finn and I blew out the candles, the gang all left the room for us to get ready. Finn and I always felt comfortable changing with each other in the room to be completely honest. We just didn't look at each other, it wasn't a big deal come on! 

***

"5:20, guys! We have to get ready!" Gaten sprung out of his chair. We were in Dunkin just chilling with warm drinks and donuts. I mean, how else would you celebrate your birthday when it's freezing outside? 

"I love how no matter how cold it is, our fans still come out to see us." I smiled and pressed the white cup to my lips. The warm liquid and smell of hot chocolate entered my body which instantly calmed me. 

"Well, I mean thanks for inviting me to the show." Jordyn smiled at me as she pressed her head onto Finn's chest, I instantly felt a pang of hurt. What the hell? 

"My pleasure, and the whole gang's pleasure as well! You are Finn's friend." I replied with a smile and then proceeded to wink at Finn. That hurt as well, what's going on with me?

"Um, excuse me are you, Vanessa Stewart?" This employee walked up to me.

"Uh, yeah? Are you a fa--"

"Some girl with dirty blonde hair told me to give you this note.." The employee cut me off. "I think someone could be in trouble."

She passed me this yellow sticky note and walked away.

As I read the note I couldn't help but instantly feel a pang of fear and anxiety rushed up to my heart. 

"Lilia," I breathed out and dropped the note. 

Rushing out of Dunkin donuts, I felt tears starting to fill up my eyes and soon my eyesight became blurry. She couldn't do this, not now! Not on my birthday, not at home. Not to him.

Nessa, your little boyfriend hasn't stopped begging for you since you left him

and I'm honestly SO TIRED of him rejecting my love

But I finally get it!

After SO MANY YEARS, I finally understand that he would never feel the same way towards me. It has been years that he has been missing your love and touch. He may love you, but you won't have him.

Remember that alley you cross to get to your house? That might be Jaeden's last famous words.

Bye bye :)

Those words seemed to haunt my mind as I ran, I ran as fast as I could. 

You were red and you liked me because I was blue, you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky and you decided purple just wasn't for you...

I suddenly see the famous dirty blonde haired girl who hurt me so much through life, and then I see a familiar face that I haven't seen in a very long time. 

"Lilia!" I shouted out. "DON'T DO IT!"

"Ah! Your little princess actually showed up! I was beginning to think that she actually got over you!" Lilia laughed and shoved a tied up Jaeden to the floor. Jaeden looked so broken, his eyes were like before when he was a mess. His eyes were bloodshot and his hair looked like it hasn't been washed in days, his clothes looked fine but probably smelt bad. 

My Jaeden, the once super soft and happy boy seemed so broken and lifeless on the freezing icy floor. My hands were trembling from the wind, it was 20 degrees and I didn't care about getting frostbite all I cared was if Jaeden was going to be okay or not.

But what scared me more was when Lilia pulled out a g-18 and pointed it at me.

"Careful there Nessa, I mean you don't want to kill Jaeden by killing yourself. Do you?" Lilia said in a mocking pouty face.

I froze in place, thoughts teaching through every inch of my skin begging me to go Jaeden's side and embrace him with a hug. Its been years since I've seen him and yet he still looks handsome and sweet. I miss him.

"Lilia, let him go. Let us go, you've had enough!" I shouted.

"No!" Lilia shouted back, I saw tears form in her eyes surprisingly. "You took him away from me! We were supposed to be together forever!"

"What?" I answered in confusion.

"You don't get it, I have had feelings for Jaeden for a long time. He was my back bone and he was suppose to date me and fall in love with me! Not you!" Lilia bawled out. "You took him from me! You had no right to take his love!"

"But it wasn't my fault that he entered my life! It's not my fault that I'm deeply and madly in love with him!" I screamed. "You think I want to have feelings for him? Well, I don't! I could've been so much happier but thanks to you, happiness isn't an option anymore."

"Well now neither of us can have Jaeden." Lilia retorted as she brought the gun to Jaeden, he was crying. But he seemed so numb and hopeless, he shouldn't die this way.

"Don't do it, if you do this not only will you kill him but a small part of yourself will die too," I begged.

"You know for a person who has been shot and got ran over right after, you should be dead." Lilia said in a sour tone. "Well, let's hope Jaeden isn't that strong."

"Stop!" I screamed and hear people dash behind me.

I quickly turned and saw my friends, they could've startled Lilia. They can't be here, they're going to let-

Suddenly a trigger went off, everything went in slow.motion as I whipped my head back at Lilia and Jaeden. My heart instantly dropped and shattered into a million pieces when I saw a gunshot located at the lower part of Jaeden's stomach, he fell over to the floor as he cried in pain.

What have I done?
