Happy birthday, Muffin.
I blink several times, feeling like I'm sensitive to the entire world right now. I let out a low groan, the pounding in my head growing to be ten times worse. I groan, clutching the sides of my head.

"Happy Birthday to me . . ." I sing bluntly, massaging my sore temples. My thoughts turn back to last night. The party. Austin and Jake.

"I'm sorry. Forgive me."Jake is sat on the foot of my bed and I'm cross legged on the top, resting against my pillows.

"Good morning," Jake smiles, walking over to me whilst holding a tray one handed. The smell of pancakes floats through the air and my stomach grumbles loudly."Morning, what time is it?"
