Cold Hearted

Surprise

Elena POV

Today is a very... very special day.

It's my birthday! I'm so excited, I'm actually seventeen now! I've been thinking about it for weeks now, wondering what my friends are gonna do and such for my birthday has just been nothing but fun! Even if I just get birthday wishes I'll be a happy gal!

I woke up snuggling into Harry's side as I always do now and immediately was wide awake, I naturally shifted a little bit and began kicking the blankets off me right away just because I was excited to get to have my first birthday with friends around! Harry woke up a few moments after from me moving around so much and woke up with a smile right off the bat,

"Ah good mornin' darlin', sleep well?"

Harry asked, a giggled a little bit and shrugged before nodding,

"Mhm!"

He hummed in delight shortly after and looked down at me with a smile, slowly he began to lean a bit closer to me which just absolutely filled my tummy up with butterflies! I leaned up a little bit closer to him, making him chuckle as he simply leaned down and gave me a wonderful little kiss!

Once the pleasant little kiss was done, I waited for a few moments, waiting for the birthday wish I thought I was gonna get from him right off the bat, but he simply stretched... and got out of bed... and just went to the bathroom without any other words? I furrowed my brow and felt myself sink a little bit. Even on a normal morning, he's more talkative than that! I just... stared at the bathroom door and wondered. Was something wrong? But we just woke up how could something already be wrong?

I sighed and simply crawled out of bed, maybe... oh maybe he has a gift for me or something in the bathroom and hid it in there so he's gonna come out and surprise me! I smiled again at the thought and began to get dressed for the day, putting on a favorite light blue dress of mine and pulling out some nice white Mary Jane heels. For once I paid extra attention to how I looked just cause who doesn't wanna feel nice on their birthday all the way down to how they dress? I even did my hair up in a little braid that flopped over my right shoulder!

I excitedly looked back up at Harry as he came out of the bathroom who... didn't even come out here to get change, he's already dressed and ready to go it seems! I looked at his hands for any possible gift but to my disappointment... they were empty. Maybe he has something in his pocket?

"Harry!"

I chirped, he looked over to me with a smile and tilted his head a little bit as he adjusted the collar of his jacket,

"Yeh love?"

I took a deep breath before settling into a pretty unbeatable smile, I mean it is my birthday after all how could I not be happy?

"Do... you know what day it is?"

Harry pressed his lips together for a moment before humming and nodding,

"Friday yeh? Thank gods, this week has been exhausting eh?"

Friday... I mean yeah, it is Friday but... I nervously giggled and gulped as a new anxiety of mine seemed to form,

"I-I mean the date, Harry"

Harry looked up for a moment.... but this was already taking too long! I felt my heart get a little uneasy just as he lit up, giving me false hope,

"January 18th, what do ya need the date for love?"

My heart sunk.... did... did Harry forget... my birthday? I-I swear I told him! I know I did... right? I mean... unless I didn't, surely he... he couldn't have forgotten me like that... he just can't! But I shrugged it off... and gave him a half-hearted smile,
