Forgotten

Summary:

On your birthday, the people you care about the most seem to forget the one day that matters. Feeling unappreciated and heartbroken, you start to realize that maybe it’s time to focus on yourself and find joy in those who truly value you.

Happy Birthday, babe! Sorry I'm stuck on patrol tonight. Let's celebrate tomorrow?
