Ashley

" It was really nice spending time with you guys today" I said and then shared a group hug with my friends.

" Same here, Ash thank you so much for inviting us over" Mabel acknowledged and I smiled.

" And also getting us to see one direction" Hope whispered and we bursted into laughter.

" I'm serious, you don't get to see one direction every single day, well except you of course. Geez what am I saying" hope hit her forhead with her hand and sighed.

" I think you need to rest, confused bean" Jeff mocked hope and she just gave him a glare which shut him up.

" So I'll see you guys on Monday?" I said and they nodded.

Then we heard a car horn outside.

" Okay my mom's here" hope sighed.

" But before we go, we'd love to do something" Mabel said then looked at the boys as they kept their eyes on us with a smile.

" Mind if we take a selfiie with you guys?" She asked.

" We don't mind, anything for our fans" Harry said and the trio rushed over to the boys and took a selfie with Mabel's phone.

" Thanks" They thanked the boys,waved goodbye to us then left to go meet Hope's mum that was waiting patiently.

" They're nice" Louis said and I simply nodded.

" Yeah they are" I commented.

" Besides where's Carter?" I asked as I noticed that my little sister wasn't here.

" She probably should be upstairs, I'll go check on her though" Liam said running upstairs. And yet you guys tell me not to.

Then the boys began to talk amidst themselves and me being my polite self didn't give an ear to their conversation cause that'll seem rude.

Unknowingly to them, I slipped out and walked through the back door and to the pool side.

I sat down near the pool and stared at my reflection.

Flashback

" Happy birthday to you" the family wished the little girl as she celebrated her 3rd birthday.

" So honey, care to make a wish?" Her mom asked and she giggled and nodded at the same time.

Closing her eyes for a bit, the little girl blowed the candles as she opened them while the rest of her family clapped joyfully.

" So what did you wish for sweetheart?" Her mom asked and she smiled.

" I wished that our family will stay together forever" she answered and the whole family shared a group hug which made the little girl giggle.

End of flashback

I felt something wet touch my cheeks and that was when I knew I was crying. Seeing my reflection in the water just brought back old memories.

" Peanut?!" I heard a familiar deep voice call me. I cleaned my face hurriedly then turned back just to see Harry walking towards me.

" Harry?"

" Why are you out here all alone?" He asked sitting beside me and looking deep into my eyes.

" Uhmm... Nothing I just came out for some fresh air. Yeah" I nervously laughed and he seemed not to be buying it.

" You look like you've been crying, anything wrong?" He asked and I looked back into the water and that was when I knew I couldn't lie to him cause it wouldn't help.

" Peanut?" He called me quietly and then I gazed up to the night sky.

" I just had some old memories" I said then looked at him and he looked confused.

" What do you mean, peanut?"

" Well, I remember when my family used to celebrate my birthday... It was something I could describe as homely and warm cause I felt the love they had for me" My voice cracked a bit at the last part. Great I was crying again.

" At one point I wished we could stay together forever cause at that time I never imagined my family leaving the earth" I sniffed a bit and before you know it, I felt strong arms wrap me around, comforting me and probably warming me up.

" Look sweetie, I understand your pain, you miss your family so much but you know crying won't solve a thing because right now they're in heaven watching over you and probably wishing you a happy birthday, they want you to be happy, peanut and I'm sure your mom and sister won't be happy if they see you crying, they want their baby girl to be happy and we all want you to have the best because you deserve all the love." He said then kissed my forhead.

" Now dry those tears, model" he said wiping my face with his hand and then we shared a hug.

" Thank you so much, Harry, you sure know how to cure a broken heart" I giggled a bit and he gave me a cheeky smile.

" You know what will make you feel better?" He asked and I shook my head.

" A song" he smiled and I returned the gesture.

Then he began to sing " Right now " for me until I fell asleep in his arms.
