"Group hug!!" They all cheered as they enclosed me in their embrace. Tears streamed down my face, but this time, it is not from sadness but from happiness.

"Thank you guys" my voice broke with my emotion. Gosh I'm overwhelmed with happiness.

"I didn't even remember it was my birthday" I shyfully admitted to them and they chuckled.

"That's why we're here to always remind you to happiness" Harry, our producer and is also our instrument master said while tapping my nose.

"Oh my god! I'm seriously crying myself a river" I joked and they all laughed.

"Before we begin the celebration though, we compose something just for you" Justin, our pianist but also our singer, my duet partner says.

Mr. Schuder or as we call Manager Kurt led me to a throne-like chair and I laughed. The studio is even decorated in balloons and some beautiful sparkly silver and gold metallic foil, cut in tiny triangles littered on the studio ground. In the stage there is a tarpaulin with me in the band with a happy birthday frame which I was highlighted. And it is also written there the words 'Happy happy birthday, Alexandrielle. We love you'

My heart melted as I watch my family ready to perform whatever they have for me. I admire them.

"This is dedicated to no other than the woman of our lives. The Princess of the Dancing Stars who is up to this day, striving and living through the chaos and twists of her life. She is our light, our dearest of friends, our sister we will devote our lives to protect, to make her happy, to be beside her no matter what happens. She is the strongest woman in our lives, always have and always will be, and her light shines through even the darkest of times. Alexandrielle, we love you"

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged or realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose side of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
Last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up and I will always be there

And I see your true color shining true
I see your true color that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true color, true colors are beautiful

By that line, I was already crying. My heart is filled with joy and I couldn't seem to explain in words how grateful I am to have friends like them. The very people who I couldn't thank enough, who loves and cares for me unconditionally, who stays by my side through thick and thin but never once did they ask or give a sign of wanting something in return, all they want is me to be their friend.

The song continues on as sometimes Manager Kurt snaps some pictures of me while the band is singing.

Once they are done, they all come up to me and hugged me. "I thought you said Alexandrielle will be happy with this, why is she crying then?" Danny being the idiotic and naive but funny guy he is, asked all of them.

Justin slapped the back of his head "Idiot, those are tears of joy asshole"

Danny rubbed his head with a glare to him before his face changed into goofy one and stuck his tongue out at him.

We all laugh.

I guess I inherited from him my behavior in sticking my tongue out just to tick a person off.

Way to go Alexandrielle!
