A/N: Camille's dress^^

It was July Which meant my birthday month! It had been 5 months since I was attacked and I was so much better, I'd built up the courage to go to the pubs and restaurants again. The guys and girls also took me to a club one time and Alex was glued to my hip the whole night.

I was turning 23 and I'd woken up before Alex so I could have a smoke on my balcony.

Alex had asked me if I was ready for a party and I told him I was. He had planned me a birthday party at mine and said it was going to be friends only and my brother and a few of his friends.

I finished my cigarette and went back inside, Alex wasn't in bed and the covers were all pulled out. A little note sat on his pillow so I walked over and picked it up.

"Get back into bed, I'll be upstairs in a moment
                                  -Alex"

I smiled at the note and climbed back into bed, pulling the big quilts over me.

About 15 minutes passed of me waiting and my door creaked open, I looked over and Alex was carrying a tray with a plate of omelettes on and a cup of coffee on there too.

"Happy birthday Baby" he said as he placed the tray on my lap, he then turned and went back outside. I heard distilling and then he came back in.

My mouth hung open as he came in holding a big bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates in one hand and a big Birthday bag filled with wrapped presents in the other. He placed them on the end of my bed and grinned over at me.

"Oh, Alexxx" I said with my eyebrows furrowed upwards and the biggest smile on my face.

He came over and kissed me deeply. Before hopping back into bed as we sat there and shared the omelettes.

"I made yer omelettes as that's what I made for us when I first stayed round Yer house that time remember?" Alex asked me with a mouthful.

"Of course I do" I said as I kissed his cheek.

After we'd eaten I grabbed the bag of presents and began opening them, The first thing he'd bought me was a Light pink Polaroid camera as I said I'd always wanted one; the next thing he'd got me was this dress that was loose around the neck and bottom slightly with noodle arms but tight around the waist, it had a small slit in the middle of the leg area and was half black and half a burgundy red with glitter.

"Holy shit, I'm so wearing that tonight" I said as I ran my hand over the silky fabric.

"I was hopin Yer would, when I were in the shop I 'ad no fookin clue what to get but then a woman who worked there were like askin me about ya and what yer looked like as she took me to a part of the shop, then she pulled out that dress and I was like 'fookin take my money right now'" Alex said as he kissed my jaw afterwards.

"Thank you so much baby it's gorgeous I love it!" I said smiling at him.

The last present was square and hard. Alex stopped me just before I opened it and I furrowed my brows at him.

"Before Yer open it, I dunno whether it'll give yer flashbacks from...that night, but I tracked the photographer down and got it off him, I knew you said we 'looked hot' that night so I figured maybe you'd want that, but if it's too much for you and the memories all come back baby you don't have to have it I understand" Alex said stroking my cheek gently.

I unwrapped it and was face to face with a photo frame and the picture was Alex and I at the Gala back in February, I smiled at the picture as we looked really fucking good. Some of the bad memories did come back but I quickly pushed them away as they were in the past.
