Victoria's P.O.V

"Happy Birthday!" Party popers are launched into the air as I open the door. I would be lying if I said I was surprised to my core, because I heard Luna whispering about the plans with Amber just the other week. Despite knowing that I put on a pleasantly surprised and happy smile

on my face, because I truly was happy in that moment. 

"What is this suppose to mean! Are you guys trying to point out the fact that I'm aging faster than you!" everyone starts laughing upon hearing

I blew the candles and closed my eyes only to realize the truth I didn't want to admit. The truth was that wishes don't come true. They never

did and they never will. Money, power, fame, strength, pride, kindness, even if one posses all these things and everything more there will

always be one thing that they would never be able to attain. It's those things that we can't get that we tend to want need more of. It’s those

things that are out of reach that we tend to need want more of. Even wishes and promis
