Today is your 16th birthday.

Lately, you have been keeping distance from your mother — Lana. You and her used to be very close when you were younger. Though, as the years go by, you were growing up and you wanted to explore the world, hang with friends, etc. It was rare that you would stay home.

She wished that she can read your mind to really see what you want.

Lana wanted to fix this relationship and get closer to you, she wanted to do something with you on your birthday. Especially since it’s been a long time since you two spent time together.

Remembering all those adventures you would both plan together, places she had planned for you two to go. She wanted to relive that with you for just this one time before you get older and possibly move out in the future.

She hated the feeling of losing you forever.

Even it was your birthday, you still gotta go to school so you get all ready for the day. You and your friends planned to spend your 16th birthday together after school, which will further the distance of your relationship with your mother.

You go down stairs with a school bag in hand, ready to leave but just as you were about to, you felt a hand on your shoulder.

Turning around, you see your mother with a small yet guilty smile. She couldn’t believe how grown up you are, it was like one day, you were just born and the next, you were close to being a young adult. “Hey hun, I know we haven’t been on best terms lately but. . . maybe you wanna stay home and do something for your birthday?”
