“Smile!” My mother said excitedly and I offered a small smile, one that grew wider when Simon draped his hands over my
shoulder and gave the biggest smile.
My mother clicked the camera to take the picture and I turned towards her completely horrified.
“Mom! I wasn’t ready, I was still watching Simon smile his weird smile.” I said rushing after the woman that was already scrolling
through the pictures with a wide smile on her face.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter honey. These are so cute, you both have to come in soon so you can cut your cake, okay? I’m going to
show these to your father.” She said and before I could respond she was already heading back into the house.
“Happy birthday once again Jess. Sorry I got here late, Emilia spent hours trying to pick out the perfect fit.” Simon apologized
and I shook my head, chuckling a little bit.

“It’s okay, I’m really glad you made it in time. I barely get to see you these days and it’s really sad.” I said, smiling when Simon
held on to my hand and pulled me to the bench in the center of the garden.
“There’s been a lot of troubles with our pack lately so leaving is usually difficult, but everything is starting to settle now so it
should be better.” Simon said and I frowned.
“Why don’t you guys talk to my dad about whatever issues you’re having, you know he’ll help or better still come live in this pack.
There will be housing, Emilia will be able to settle in just fine and you too and we also get to see everyday. There’s nothing
stopping the both of you, why have you refused to do it?” I asked, genuinely upset.
“You wouldn’t understand Jess, but let’s drop it for now. It’s your birthday and we don’t need to focus on those things. Here, I got
you something.” He said, pulling out a small box from his pocket.

I took it excitedly, ripping the wrapping quickly. The velvet box that was revealed already made me anticipate it’s content, but
nothing had prepared me for what I found when I pulled open the box.
It was a beautiful silver necklace with a heart shaped pendant.
The pendant had been lined with little stones making the light from the glowing bulbs around the garden catch onto it and make it
more beautiful.
When I turned the pendant the other way I found the inscription. SJ in a beautiful font.
“Goddess Simon. This is beautiful, thank you so much.” I said, tears stinging at my eyes.

“Happy sixteenth birthday Jessy.” He responded.
Simon took the necklace from me and gently turned me around to place it on my neck. The silver of the necklace was a perfect
contrast to my skin and I loved how it sat perfectly on my neck like it was always meant to be. I stared down at the piece, rubbing
the small pendant between my fingers and reveling in the feeling of satisfaction that I got from it.
I raised my head once more but only this time it was to find Simon leaning so close to my face, I didn’t realize when he had
moved, he was so close that I could feel his breath fanning against my face. I swallowed painfully, darting my tongue out to lick
at my dry lips, shivering slightly when his eyes followed the movement.
It happened so fast, one moment I was looking into his eyes and in the next my eyes were shutting completely when Simon
covered my lips in a kiss. It didn’t last long and it was over just as quickly as it had started but it made my entire body tingle.

“Jess! Mom says it’s time to cut your cake, come on in.” Kevin announced from the doorway and I offered him a smile. before
turning back to Simon.
“Go on. I’ll be right behind you.” Simon said.

Back To Present:
That had been the last time that I had seen my best friend and the only boy that I had ever fallen in love with. I remembered how
he had never come inside and how somehow he and Emilia had vanished for the night and no one could find them.
