'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we're breaking down
We can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven
I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

In the Morning

        Justin woke up and got out of bed. He changed quickly and left his room. Jesse immediately jumped on him,

        "Happy birthday Justin!"

        Justin laughed as he hugged his little brother,

        "Thanks, man, where is everyone?"

        Jesse smiled,

        "In the kitchen, Brandy is home because his parents are back for the day,"

        Justin smiled and nodded,

        "Alright, let's get going,"

        They walked into the kitchen and Argee and Diana hugged Justin immediately,

        "Happy birthday Justin,"

        Justin smiled,

        "Thanks, Mom and Dad,"

        Nicholas hugged him,

        "Happy birthday lil bro,"

        Justin chuckled and smiled,

        "Thanks,"

        They all sat down as a family and ate eggs and bacon. Enjoying the time they have with each other. Nicholas smiled,

        "What are you and your friends doing to celebrate?"

        Justin shrugged,

        "Not sure, they said they wanted to surprise me for my birthday,"

        Everyone smiled and nodded, fully agreeing that Justin deserved something awesome.

With Michela

        Michela woke up and felt excitement bubbling in her. It was Justin's birthday! She was so excited to give him her present to him! Also, she was just happy to spend time and celebrate with them again. She told Ashley about her present and Ashley was so excited about the plan. Michela jumped carefully out of bed, making sure she didn't get hurt anymore. She saw that it was ten A.M. which is good timing seeing as she will leave the house at 4:30. Michela started running around,

        "Mass! Where is my one good dress?!"

        Massimo laughed as he saw his twin running around the place looking for the perfect flowy sky blue dress.

        "In your closet!"

        Michela stopped and facepalmed,

        "Of course it is,"

        Massimo laughed as Michela smiled as she took out the dress. Massimo smiled,

        "So, you are going to do what with Justin?"

        Michela rolled her eyes,

        "Jesus, you are acting just like Okan, you have been spending way too much time with him,"

        Massimo laughed and shrugged,

        "Eh, just don't do anything tooo drastic,"

        Michela rolled her eyes,

        "Shut up, I won't,"

        Massimo laughed and nodded,

        "Just get dressed...I think Ashley told me that you should curl your hair a bit more,"

        Michela smiled and nodded,

        "Thanks for reminding me!"

        She kissed his cheek and went inside the bathroom to get ready. She refuses to wear makeup so she didn't have to worry about that, so she just curled her hair a little bit so it looked more bouncy, and she slipped on the baby blue dress that went just above her knees with her spaghetti straps.

With the Brothers

        Chaos...that was one word to describe everyone running around to get everything perfect for Justin when he comes home in thirty minutes. Ashley got the food all set up, Brandon and Jesse were putting the placemats ready, Jake and Bryce were working on the music to make sure it was perfect, Nicholas was glaring at the balloons because some would just not be perfect enough, Diana and Argee were getting the drinks ready along with decorating the presents table, Ashley was getting the secret place ready for Michela and Justin. She knows Justin's favorite place so she made sure that it would look even more perfect. Ashley finally finished and showed back up. That was when Michela showed up and she stopped when she saw the utter chaos. Michela facepalmed,

        "ATTENTION!"

        Everyone stopped and turned to the teenager, Michela smirked,

        "Is everything ready?"

        Nicholas glared at the balloon,

        "This balloon is not perfect,"

        Michela burst into laughter when Nicholas said that,

        "Yup, deal with it though,"

        Nicholas sighed and shrugged. He turned and finally looked at what his best friend was wearing and he smiled,

        "I swear, if it was someone other than my brother, I would have made you wear something way more casual,"

        Michela burst into laughter and shoved him,

        "Shut up jerk,"

        Everyone laughed. Michela turned to Diana,

        "When is Justin coming?"

        Diana smiled,

        "He should be here soon,"

        Michela nodded excitedly,

        "Great!"

        Everyone laughed at the ecstatic teenager as she smiled brightly. Everyone was excited about this surprise party.

When Justin Comes Home

        Justin waved goodbye to his friends as they drove away, he had a lot of fun with his friends and could not wait to spend time with his family. Michela did text him at midnight wishing him a happy birthday, but he was still sad that he didn't get a chance to see her today. Justin walked inside and was immediately confused,

        "Hello?"

        No one appeared to be home. Justin sighed and shrugged. He decided that they might just be outside because it is nice out. What he saw left him without words:

        The table was set up with a red tablecloth and had some white intricate designs on it, blue napkins, and white paper plates. The food ranged from burgers to pasta and some pies. He saw that ten places were set. Next, he noticed the amazing balloon arch made up of blue, white, and green balloons, happy birthday balloons were all over the place. He saw the table with presents on it and he just could not believe that his family did all of this, it was amazing. Nicholas smirked and nodded at everyone else. They popped up from the bushes,

        "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!"

        Justin laughed and smiled,

        "Thanks, guys!"

        Justin looked at each and everyone and then he looked at Michela...he felt his heart stop. She looked breathtaking, it was as if he was under a spell. Michela smiled and walked up to him. She hugged him,

        "Happy birthday Justin,"

        Justin smiled and hugged her back,

        "Thank you,"

        Everyone smiled at the couple. Ashley punched Nicholas' shoulder and smirked at him. Nicholas rolled his eyes and smiled at her. Diana smiled at the two, knowing that they loved each other. They broke apart and Michela smirked,

        "Shall we eat?"

        Justin chuckled and nodded,

        "Yes, we shall,"

        The family of ten sat down according to the seating arrangement. Nicholas tapped his drink and everyone looked up at him, Nicholas smiled and stood up,

        "As Justin's older brother, it is my duty to perform a toast. Justin, I have watched you grow up so fast these past few years, I have never been more proud of you. Also, I am so proud of you for FINALLY admitting to Mickey that you like her after having to witness the cringe so many times. You are a great brother and I wouldn't ask for any other siblings than you, Jesse, and Brandy,"

        Justin smiled hugely at his brother as Nicholas sat down. Jesse smiled and raised his cup,

        "To Justin!"

        Everyone lifted up their cups and nodded,

        "To Justin!"

        Michela smiled as they all clinked cups. They all started eating. They talked and laughed the whole time. The whole dinner consisted of fun memories of Justin while he blushed or laughed with them. All of them enjoyed the party and loved being there. Diana smiled,

        "Alright, Justin, it's time for your gifts!"

        Everyone smiled as they sat down in a circle while everyone but Michela grabbed a present for Justin, Michela planned on giving him his present on their own time. Brandon insisted on being first. Justin chuckled and he took the present from Brandon's hands. He opened it and smiled hugely as he saw it was his favorite tennis player: Rafael Nadal's bobblehead figure. He hugged Brandon and ruffled up his hair,

        "I love it, Brandy, thank you,"

        Brandon smiled brightly and nodded,

        "I knew you would love it!"

        Jesse immediately went next and gave him the gift. Justin unwrapped it and smiled hugely at the brand new art supplies. Justin hugged his brother,

        "Thanks, Jesse, these are perfect!"

        Jesse smiled hugely,

        "I know you love art so I decided to get you more supplies,"

        Justin smiled and quickly caught the gift that Nicholas chucked at him. Justin chuckled as he opened it and smiled at the new band tank tops that Nicholas gave him,

        "Thanks, Nick!"

        Nicholas smirked,

        "Anytime Justin,"

        Diana and Argee gave him new sneakers, Jake and Bryce gave him a fancy notebook for sheet music and Ashley smirked as he slowly opened hers. Justin's eyes widened when he saw that it was a bracelet and a picture framed, it was a picture of him and Michela, they were kissing. Justin looked at Ashley and she smirked,

        "Just because y'all are oblivious does not mean I am,"

        Justin blushed and smiled,

        "Thanks, Ash,"

        Ashley smiled at him affectionately. Nicholas smirked,

        "Alright, we have to start cleaning up. Michela, please entertain my stupid brother while all of us clean up,"

        Michela laughed and nodded,

        "Gee, I will try my best, it will be a hard task,"

        Everyone laughed while Justin playfully glared at her. Everyone left Michela and Justin alone, hoping that something would happen. Justin looked at Michela and smiled and reached out his hand for her to take,

        "Wanna see something?"

        Michela smirked and grabbed his hand,

        "As long as it's interesting,"

        Justin laughed and nodded,

        "It will be, it's my favorite place to go to,"

        Michela smiled at him and Justin led her through the trees.
