Chapter 17- bonds and birthdays–2
“You don’t trust me anymore,” she said more to herself than to me she nodded, as if accepting it. “it’s fine, I understand you, but I want you to know, it was never my intention to get you hurt like that. I promise.”
“I know” I lied through my teeth. I didn’t understand it, and maybe was being too petty, but I didn’t want to understand her point of view, at all. “I just need some time to take it all in, you know.
She nodded. “I actually had ma’am Marie bake you a cake, I hope you aren’t too angry to have it.
She said walking out to give me the space I hinted at earlier.
“Wait,” I said stopping her. I felt guilty. She had at least put in an effort to make today special for me. “You know, we could at least catch up on the few days and then go see that cake you know”
I watched as her face went from a frown to a smile. “really? You don’t need to do that for me. I’ll respect your alone time and give you the space you need, I just” she was rambling now, a thing she loved to do when she was nervous.
“”
‘Sam?” I called cutting her off. “shut up” she smiled. Just for today, I was going to put
aside the anger I felt towards her, besides, she really looked like she needed her friend…
“you ready to see your cake?” she asked me as we walked down the stairs. I rolled my
eyes. She was so damned predictable.
“Bubble gum or velvet flavour,” I said in a deadpan voice. “You’re not that hard to figure out” I snorted. I could see her roll her eyes
“good thing I went out of my way to not do that then,” she said more excited than ever.
I nodded, not even caring to answer her. As we reached the kitchen there on the table was the cake. I couldn’t lie, the cake did look beautiful.
It was a white colored cake with a SpongeBob design on it, Patrick was holding

SpongeBob’s hand.
Together forever was written under them.
“I did the design, ma’am Marie didn’t have enough time” I opened my mouth to say something. “I promise i didn’t force her to do this, you know how she gets for your birthday.” I nodded laughing a little.
“just like old times,” I said giving a sad smile. I knew it was a lie though. In the old times Kaden would be here, singing with his awful yet sexy voice and Eric would stand there, waiting for the song to be over to wish me a happy birthday and just leave.
I cut the cake. “you really did surprise me” I laughed as I saw the inside. The top layer was a chocolate cake and the second layer was a milky flavour.
“I told you I would,” She looked proud of herself.
I stretched the plate towards her, it was normal. Every year, she’d try to steal the first bit of my cake just because she knew how much I always lived the first bite of any cake. It was weird but that’s how it was. Stretching the plate towards her meant I was no longer mad at her, I mean, how could I? She practically made this for me in hopes of making today magical for me. “Here, you can have the first bite”
She looked stunned, water soon gathering In her eyes.
“You really mean that?” she tried to blink them away but it was too late. I already saw he cry. I was definitely going to use it against her later.
“Yes” I smiled at our childhood memory of me screaming at her that the only way I could let anyone eat the first bite of my cake was if they were important to me.
She, with shaky hands picked up the fork, and took a bite “damn! I knew this was the perfect combo” she said going for the second bite but quickly took the plate from her front.
“let’s not get greedy now” I said, like a wolf trying to protect its territory.
She laughed, causing me to laugh. “Oh, I have something to show you “
She stood up from the chair, swaying a bit. “is it just me? Or …” she didn’t get to

complete her words because she collapsed.
“SAM!!” I rushed to her side in fear.
I checked her pulse. It was barely there.

So let’s hope Sam experiences the same thing Lucia has been experiencing. Sometimes you have to walk in someone else’s shoes or let Karma visit
