My phone chimed as Mom and I were walking in the house after two hours at the gym. I looked down and saw Jase’s picture and face time request.

I grabbed a bandana off the counter and quickly covered my sweat drenched hair before answering.

“Hi Carly,” Bella whispered.

“Hey birthday girl, what are you doing?”

“Dad said no, but I think it’s rude that you can’t see how pretty everything looks,” her smile did me in.

“Well that’s very thoughtful. Okay do a quick tour and then we can talk later,” I loved that she wanted to include me, so sweet. There was no way Jase could be upset about this.

While Bella began the tour Mom leaned over my shoulder and watched with me. Bella showed me the hot pink and lavender streamers and balloons, “I am glad the banner says Bella and not Little Bell, I am six now you know,” she smiled into the phone and my Mom laughed. She continued and showed the cake and table coverings, “Daddy wouldn’t let me open the presents, he said they were goody bags to share with my guests and that if Carly went through all that trouble it should be a surprise. I like surprises but this is killing me,” she crossed her eyes and smiled.

I heard someone say hello to her and she smiled, “Hello, Aunt Pam.” She hugged her and I saw blonde hair and then I heard the voice, rabid dog Pam.

I felt my face burning and then Bella scooted under the table, “There are lots of people here.”

“I’m glad I could sort of be there too,” I forced a giant smile on my face.

Cyrus peeked under the table, “Little Bell you have friends here, what are ya hiding from?”

“I snuck Carly in, but don’t tell Daddy.”

Cyrus grabbed the phone, “Well hello, Carly.”

“Hey Bella, have a great time Happy Birthday.”

“Get out there birthday girl,” Cyrus smiled at Bella and then looked at the phone, “I thought Jase said no to this.”

“He did --oh, now I get it.”

“No you don’t, he has a lot of shit going on, Carly. It’s not about you. You should have left it alone,” Cyrus gave me a dirty look.

“Go fuck yourself, she called me. Have a nice day, asshole.”

“Feeling pretty badass huh? You’re going to ruin his…”

“I don’t want him to know. I want that little girl to have the best birthday ever,” my voice broke. “Goodbye.”

I hung up the phone and looked over at my Mom, “Bella is beautiful.”

“Yeah, I know,” Mom hugged me and I cried, “What the hell was I thinking?”

“You love him. Our hearts want what they want Carly. You just need to step back, take a break, and wait very patiently for your head to catch up to your heart.”

“Mom I spent way too much money for Bella’s birthday,” she started to interrupt and I put my hand up stopping her. “I realize I know better and I’m disappointed in myself. I’m so confused and unfocused. Thank God it’s not an
