said. I hug him good-bye and kissed his cheek. As I watched him board the plane he looks back at me and waves. When I look away I see I was all alone. I looked back and Kyle was gone. I went back to catch another taxi. It happened to be the same taxi driver I had before. I finally got home and paid the taxi driver. As I walk up to my porch I see Brandon sitting on my porch swing. I say “Brandon? What are you doing here?” “Well I was at home thinking about someone I really like but I didn’t know how she felt about me. I wanted to ask her something.” “What do you want to ask her?” My heart is pounding so fast I can’t even hear myself think.” “Kaitlyn, will you go out with me this Friday?” “Yes! I would be honored to go out with you.” I was so excited he asked me out. He had to go.
I went upstairs to find a note in my room. The note was in an envelope that was addressed to me. I tried to open it but I couldn’t get it opened. When I finally got it opened all I saw was a card that read “Happy Birthday Kaitlyn! We love you! Love Grandma and Grandpa.” They remembered about my sixteenth birthday. Then the doorbell rang. I go and answer it. The CDA was here. I thought it was a new kind of UPS when the guy said “Delivery for Kaitlyn Berowin.” I signed for it and looked outside. It was a brand new car. I asked who the Guy was and he said “CDA.” “What’s CDA?” “Car Dealers of America.” My grandparents sent me a new car for my birthday. I turn around and they are behind me. I scream and hug them. I couldn’t believe they were here. I went to bed that night thinking of what tomorrow will be like.
When I woke up my family crowded me and screamed “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” My mom was holding Breakfast in Bed, My dad was holding one present, my grandma was holding a crown and a sash, and my grandpa was holding my license certificate from the DMV. All I need to do is go and get my picture taken and it’s all done. After I ate, I opened the present. It was a new outfit I was going to wear today. It was a pair of boots, a pair of skinny jeans and a strapless top. I wore that to school with the sash and crown. I walked down the hall with people staring at me and Tabitha standing next to me. Suddenly I feel someone grab my hand. It was Brandon. The cute blonde, with muscles I call my boyfriend. I smiled at him and see him holding a present and so is Tabitha. I say “Tabitha were you holding that the whole time and Brandon how did you know it was my birthday?” Tabitha says, “No I told him to bring it for me so you wouldn’t know I had it.” Brandon’s answer to my question was “Tabitha told me when she asked me to hold it. When I sit down on the bench I open both presents. Brandon got me a necklace that says, “Kaitlyn” on it. Tabitha got me a brand new pair of shoes.
Right when school ended I hopped in my mom’s RAV 4 and I drove us both to the DMV. I got my picture taken so fast. I looked at it and it looked Amazing. The old guy with the beard and the glasses handed me my license and I about flipped out. I drove us home to get into my new car and set it all up. I looked in the glove departments to find a gas card! My grandparents got me a blue RAV 4 just like my moms, but hers is black. I turn the engine on and drive off. I put my brand new designer purse on the passenger seat and I drive to the Coffee Café to meet Tabitha and Brandon. When I pull out of the neighborhood I see this line of cars to get to the mall. The mall is a few miles away so having to wait in a ten mile line to get into the mall. The problem is I am not going to the mall; I will have to pass it to get to Coffee Café. Tabitha calls me to ask me where I am, how did she get there so fast? I get out of line and drive back home.
As I drive home I get a text from my mom. The text said, “Hey Stay out as late as you want, the earliest you come home is eight.” I was so confused why I get that text so I go to Tabitha’s house to see if she is hope yet. I don’t see any cars there so I drive the back way to the Coffee Café when I totally forgot about this way. When I pull up I see Brandon and Tabitha through the window. I park my car get out and walk up to the window. When I get their attention I go to the door walk in and sit by Brandon. “Hey do you mind staying with me all day since I can’t go home?” I say to them. Tabitha and Brandon both answer, “Sure.” I take out my laptop and open up Microsoft word and start to type. We have homework, which all three of us are partnered up.
“Ok so what do we start with?” I ask. “Well what is the project?” Brandon asked. I go on the school website to find out. It says to write a story about five thousand words! When I told Brad and Tabitha, they weren’t too happy. We all didn’t know what to right about. The waitress came over and asked “Hello what can I get for you?” I said “Three Mocha Latté’s with extra whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top.” When she brought them over to us we had her put our names on them and we went back to work. We had a great idea of what to write about. They chose it. They want to write about my birthday. I don’t know why, but I said ok because it’s a topic. So we talk and type. We have all week to do this so why are we doing it today? We were gone all day and finally it’s eight. I walk in and it looks like no one is home. “Where is everyone?” The lights start to flicker. “Hello?” The lights turn on and everyone comes out and yells “SURPRISE!” I jumped because I didn’t expect that.”
I went to the kitchen to thank my family for this amazing surprise birthday party. I felt something inside I had never felt before. It was an amazing feeling. I can’t even describe it. I go up to my room to go put my presents up after I opened them. As soon as I walk in I hear my laptop. Someone is trying to call me. I answer, it’s Bailyn! “Hey Bailyn!” “Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!” I was so excited to hear from her. I didn’t think she remembered my birthday after being in jail. When Bailyn had to go, I went into the living room to open presents. The first one I grabbed was from Tabitha. The card said “Happy Birthday! You were such an amazing friend when we were little and now we are best friends again! Love you like a sister! Love, Tabitha!” I opened the gift and there was a picture of us when we were little. It came with a frame that said “Best Friends for how long?” Then it came with our Kindergarten class project. I started crying because she went through all that trouble for me.
After opening all my presents and everyone leaving I put everything in my room. I walk upstairs put my things in my room and start getting undressed for my shower when I hear a noise and find Brandon hiding in my closet. I screamed so loud China could hear it from here. I asked “What are you doing in here?” “I was going to surprise you and give you your birthday present.” I unwrap the box slowly, and then open it up to find a beautiful Necklace that says “Kaitlyn+Brandon=Forever.” “You had it personalized for me? That’s so sweet!” “Yeah it was the best thing that I could find for you.” “This must have cost you a fortune!” “It was worth it” I kiss him for two whole minutes!
Friends Come and Go, But Family is always there

Life is amazing when you thing about it. You have all these friends and all these people who care. Who care about you and not what you look like. I never expected this. It was the Unexpected. My life changes over night. My feelings change as I get older. I go to Tabitha's and find something I didnt want to find. I walk in to see her staring out the window in the dark. Died her hair black. Wore black clothes. "Tabitha? Is that you?" "Kaityln what are you doing here?" She asks so glum. you can tell in her voice and how she looks that she changed. "Tabitha, What happened to you?" "I am not me anymore, I am goth. Or as people say, Emo." Tabitha showed me her arm. I Scream on the top of my lungs, "YOU CUT YOURSELF! Why are you like this?" "My dad, he died." I couldn't get the words out exactly until I got the guts to say it. "How did he die?" "It was his time I guess." I watch her take out her dads rustly old pocket knife. Tabitha started cutting herself.

"Tabitha I am sorry about your dad, but this is not the answer!" "You're right. I need to die. I need to kill myself." "NO! DO NOT KILL YOURSELF!" I cannot stand to see her like that. I said, "If you are going to be like this, I can't be friends with you!" I walked out. That was one of the hardest things I would have had to do in a while. I looked back at her. Then I walked out. I can not believe she is doing this! I walk up to my car put the key in the ignition, put my seatbelt on and drove off. I was so angry at Tabitha I couldn't even stop thinking about that. Tabitha didn't even try to stop me when I walked out. I was on my way to the coffee shop to meet Brandon. I texted Brandon when I was at a red light, "Meet me at the coffee shop! ASAP!" He texted back, "Okay I will be there in ten minutes." When the light turned green I stepped on the gas and a drunk driver comes out of nowhere. The drunk driver hits my car, pushes me into another car and causes this whole traffic jam. I am
