Worst Birthday Ever-02
Noah huffed and glared at his sister, then walked away with Jasmine trailing behind him like some kind of lost puppy.
/"Thanks for that./" I told her as I entered her room.
/"No problem besides, he knows not to mess with me,/" was her cheeky reply.
/"Ok, we don't have much time. You guys can appreciate each other after we're done. You need to go take a bath and wash your hair./" Aquarius said, leading me towards the bathroom.
I closed the bathroom door and stripped off my clothes. Before stepping in, I turned on the shower and let the water warm up to the right temperature. I could feel my muscles relax as the warm water poured onto my body. I grabbed the shampoo and squeezed some in my hand before massaging it into my hair.
I scrubbed my scalp, washed the shampoo, and then massaged it in the conditioner. After washing my hair, I lathered myself in body wash and scrubbed my skin of all sweat and grease. I wrapped a towel around my body and one around my hair, then exited the bathroom to get ready.
Stepping into Lana's room, I saw everyone's hair and makeup were done and that they were in robes waiting on me.
/"Finally, I thought I was gonna have to drag you out the bathroom,/" Aquarius huffed dramatically. We all chuckled at her antics.
I sat in a chair in front of the dresser as Aquarius started on my hair while Harley did my make up.
After an hour and a half of torture, my hair and makeup were complete. Everyone started putting on their dresses in a hurry as we were already half an hour late to the party. I quickly slipped on my thin red strapless dress and stuck my feet in the shoes that Sylvia had bought me.
Lana wore a yellow pumpkin dress while Harley wore a black strapless ankle-length dress. Freya wore a navy blue off the shoulder dress that reached her mid-thigh. Aquarius wore a pink and white knee-length floral dress, and Merlin wore a black and white Armani suit. We all glanced in the mirror one final time before making our way downstairs.
We made our way to the back yard where the party was in full swing. We got some drinks and snacks and then found ourselves a table. Archangel Gabriel's voice boomed into our ears as we sat down, startling me.
/"Hello everyone, thank you for coming out tonight to celebrate my son's 16th birthday party, eat , drink and enjoy,/" he said through the microphone.
/"Also, I wanna wish Cattleya Freeman a happy birthday as well./"
Everyone turned around, looking at me with shocked faces.
Yes, assholes, that's right, the freak has a birthday.
/"Happy birthday, sweetheart./" Sylvia squealed into the mic,
/"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs Lockwood,/" I replied.
After that, the party continued.
Merlin, Aquarius, Alana, Freya, Harley and I were all dancing together when this overwhelming feeling came over me as if I was being drawn to something. I started looking around frantically to find the source. As my eyes made their way to the stage when I heard Noah say through the mic.
/"Catalaya Freeman come to the stage please./"
I looked in his direction, and the moment our eyes locked, I just knew he was my mate. Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe Noah freaking Lockwood was my mate. Why did the universe hate me?
/"Don't Judge him yet. Maybe he'll change now that he's found his mate./" a small voice in the back of my mind told me enthusiastically.
/"Well, let's hope so,/" I whispered to myself.
Making my way to the stage, I saw my mom, dad Dominic and Jasmine standing up there as well. When I reached the steps to take me up to the stage, Noah put his hand out to help me up, and for a second, when I felt the sparks, I thought maybe this could work.
Dominic was the first to take the mic saying, /"happy birthday, Cat. I love you so much. You're the best little sister a guy could ask for./"
Tears gathered in my eyes as I mouthed a /"thank you/" to him.
Jasmine took the mic afterwards, then said, /"umm yeah, so.. happy birthday,/" and then went back to stand beside our parents.
Noah went back to the mic. He turned around, looking at me with a smile on his face as he said,
/"Cat, you are the world's most ugliest freak and there is no way you could be my mate so I Noah Christian Lockwood reject you Catalaya Freeman as my mate./"
Everyone except my friends and my brother laughed as I clutched my chest in pain when I felt the mate bond break. The pain I was feeling was like a million knives had pierced through my heart, but there was no way was I gonna let him go out of this unscaled, so I grabbed the mic and said the last words he'd expect to hear,
/"I, Cattleya Reagan Freeman, accept your rejection./"
I smirked as he fell to his knees, holding his chest. Before I walked off, my dad said,
/"Hold on, Catalaya, there's something your mom and I need to tell you./"
I turned around, looking at them, confused. My mom took the mic and said,
/"We're not your real parents, and we're kicking you out./"
Everyone gasped then Dominic said,
/"What are you guys talking about that can't be true, and even if it is, did you guys have to tell her something like that in front of everybody?/"
Dad replied with, /"We're telling the truth, son. She's not our child. We found her in the woods when she was a baby with her name stitched into the blanket she was wrapped in but now we're tired of taking care of other people's problems so we're telling her the truth, besides she's big enough to take care of herself./"
Dominic was about to protest, but I stopped him by saying,
/"It's ok, Nic, you don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. You taught me how to take care of myself, so I'll be ok./" then I walked off the stage.
I left the pack house and ran the rest of the way home. I ran to my room and closed the door behind me. Two minutes later, my friends walked in. The moment I saw their faces, the tears began falling,
/"Aww hon, it'll be ok, don't worry, he'll regret rejecting you./" Harley told me as I lay in her lap.
/"Yeah, and don't worry about your parents. You can always come to the pack house. I'll make sure to get you a room beside ours./" Lana commented.
I nodded at her and curled up on my bed while they all laid beside me as I cried my eyes out until sleep drew me in.
