"Come on, Squeaks! You can't be late for your party! It's bad manners!" Alissa shouted from outside my bathroom as I struggled to slip my heel on.

"I'm coming!" I shouted back finally being able to slip it on

I opened the door quickly and Alissa just stared at me blankly.

"What?" I questioned feeling self-conscious

"You look..." Alissa trailed off, "SO FUCKING SEXY!" She screeched

"Thank you, Lis," I blushed

"Where did you get that dress?" She asked me in awe before her eyes made their way to my wrist

"Oh My God," she said as she snatched my wrist up to her face and glared at my wrist, "Where on Earth did you get this? Are the diamonds real?" she whispered the second question

"Someone sent me a gift box with the dress and the bracelet," I told her, "And yes, they are real," I copied her and lowered my voice for my second reply

She gasped and covered her mouth, "You totally have a secret admirer," she gushed, "Someone who could afford to buy you real diamonds..." she trailed off in thought before her eyes widened, "Oh My God, one of the Crown brothers has a crush on you!" she squealed

"Maybe even all of them, if that one rumour is true," she wiggled her eyebrows at me

I rolled my eyes, "Don't we have somewhere to be?" I asked her

Her eyes widened for like the 80th time since this conversation started, "Oh my God, yes let's go!" she dragged me out of the house and into her car

It was around 10 pm and somehow Alissa and Mason got the club we were at the other day reserved for the party since a lot of people were coming.

We got there by 10:15 and Alissa seemed more excited than I was, about my own party. We walked in and a bunch of people screamed "Happy birthday!" in sync as we entered the building.

I smiled brightly as my brother and his high school friends pulled me in for individual hugs.

"The little one is finally growing up," Ryan said pretending to tear up causing some of the other boys to fake sob and put their hands on their broad chests as if they were in pain.

"Hey, Jules," Star the bartender said pulling me away from the boys into her embrace, "Happy birthday," she smiled showing me her pearly whites, before giving me another hug.

"Hey gorgeous," I grinned back at her, "You know it's rude to upstage the birthday girl," I playfully scowled

We giggled together and hugged again before she sent me along to say hello to other people.

"Sis!" My brother's deep voice boomed from directly behind me

I turned around and squealed, "Mason!" his giant arms picked me up in a tight embrace

"Happy birthday, Squeaks," he said placing me on the floor in front of him when I realised the girl on his arm

She was a pretty girl. She had dark brown hair and tan skin, hazel eyes and full pink lips. She is also quite short, shorter than me. In comparison, she looks like a child next to my brother a tall height of 6'4

My brother took all the height genes before they could get to me, leaving me at 5'5.

"Hi," she smiled shyly, "Happy birthday, I got you this," she held out a paper gift bag with both her hands

She's precious

"Hi," I responded, "Thank you so much for coming," I gently retrieved the bag from her grasp

"What's your name?" I asked her politely

"I'm Tyler," she said

"I love that name for a girl," I grinned, I really do love that name for women, and it fit her somehow

She smiled widely like a young child, "Thank you so much!" she responded, "Enjoy your birthday,"

"Thank you," I responded as Mason waved goodbye and took her hand to go somewhere else

Alissa had deserted me to entertain the guests and dance on the dance floor

The party was genuinely fun, and I was on the stage dancing with Alissa, Star and some other girls when;

The entrance doors opened, with no more force than when anyone else came in but with so much power everyone's attention went to the door simultaneously.

Through the doors came, Christian, Koda and Khalil...Crown

"Hello!" Khalil's bubbly tone filled the room

Everyone froze in shock staring at the men who just walked through the doors, as Khalil faceplanted into his hand and Christian remained stoic.

Khalil spotted me and somehow his grin multiplied, "Julia?! Happy birthday!" he grinned and held up a gift

"Thank you," It was basically a whisper but everyone heard it because the room was so silent

"We;" he gestured between him and his brothers, "Would like to speak to you,"
