Connor
I held onto my beer bottle desperately searching my brain for words. I knew I was the host of the party and other members would be giving out speeches but it was never discussed that I would. I hated public speaking.
And with Edward's eyes on me I felt myself become more nervous. He was incredibly happy which was all I ever wanted. It was so hard to plan all of this without letting a single soul say a word. The entire team knew for the past two weeks and some decided to avoid Edward just to prevent themselves from slipping.
I felt terrible that he thought I had missed his birthday. Everyone knew I took great pride into making it something memorable. Every time was due to hate but this time I wanted it to be funny but show care as well.
