Ally's POV:

I wake up to the sun shining in my eyes.

It's my birthday...

I look over and see Ricky's eyes flutter open.

"Morning babe." I say.

He kisses me passionately.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too."

I stand up and go to the bathroom. I take a shower then get dressed. I ended up being some clothes over the other day so I didn't have to keep wearing Ricky's.

Once I'm done I go to downstairs.

Once again Ricky picks me up and twirls me around. Then kisses me. What he says next takes me by surprise.

"Happy birthday babe." He says.

How did he know it's my birthday?

"Thanks but how did you know?" I ask.

"Izzy and Alyssa told me." He says.

Oh no. They remembered.

We walk hand in hand into the living room.

"Happy birthday Ally!" Everyone else yells at the same time.

Great. *note sarcasm*

"Thanks but really it's not that important." I say.

"What are you talking about? Today is very important. 21 years ago today the love of my life was born. And you say it's not important. Today is one if the most important days ever!" Ricky says.

"Eh." I say.

But then I remembered. Today isn't just my birthday, it's also the day that marks 5 years since my mom died.

I feel tears brimming my eyes. It was all my fault.

By now they are pouring down my face.

"Ally what's wrong?" Ricky asks.

"Today isn't just my birthday but also the day my mom died 5 years ago." I say.

I look over at Connor. He's crying too.

"I'm sorry Con." I say.

"For what?" He asks.

"It was all my fault. If I hadn't asked her to get me ice cream she wouldn't have died. It's all my fault." I say now sobbing on the floor.

Connor come over and picks me up and hugs me.

"Ally it's not your fault. If the idiot drunk driver didn't run into her or drive in the first place it wouldn't have happened." He says.

I stop crying but I will forever know that it was my fault.

"Thanks Con." I say

"Alllllllllllyyyyyyyyy we have presents for you." Kian says.

"Guys you seriously didn't have to get me anything."

"Oh well." They say.

They all sit but I stay standing because there's no where else to sit.

"Come here." Ricky says. I walk over to him.

He pulls me onto his lap.

I blush.

"Okay I'm first!" Kian says.

He gives me a small box.

I unwrap it and open the small box. Inside is a beautiful necklace that says love.
