Room 508, Friday

After class, Ellie stopped at JGOB to purchase a cupcake for herself. After all, today was her birthday. Why not indulge a little in baked goods? It wasn't just any birthday. She could now vote if she wanted to. It also meant she was more likely to be even more responsible in a legal sense. Was she now responsible for the house in Encino? Was she going to be an actual legal guardian of Chuck? Yes, these were things she was thinking about.

For now, she sat on her bed, stuck a candle in the cupcake, and made a wish. Then she stared at the phone in the hopes that maybe one her parents remembered what day it was. It was a long shot, she knew. But it was a wish she didn't want to give up on.


[door and post open; if anyone wants to visit because it's her birthday, feel free somehow knowing it. :)]
