Your boyfriend of only a year was playing Elvis in the new biopic. You were so excited for him when you guys found out but you immediately new how much work it was going to be. You knew that you guys would have lost time and that made you feel sad. It was a bitter sweet feeling, but you couldn't be completely miserable because he was so happy.

He had begun filming a few months ago, and everyday when he came home he would go straight to sleep. You hadn't been intimate with each other in months. The farthest you've gone is kiss. But, you could never say anything about it because he would just say how busy he was.

Your birthday was just around the corner, so you were so excited. Most of your friends were already trying to make plans, yet you assumed you and Austin were doing something already. You ended up occupying that whole day only for Austin. Expecting him to do the same for you.

You started picking out an outfit for it. But, the closer it was to your birthday the farther he drifted away. He was more occupied and not talking to you much. When he would get home he would kiss you on the forehead and go straight to bed.

It was the day you were waiting for since last year. The day you thought was gonna be the best. Where people were complimenting you and telling you 'Happy Birthday' The one day where everything is about you.

Waking up, you smiled to yourself and looked over at Austin who was facing away from you. You stood up and walked into the bathroom, and took a shower quickly. Wanting to starting the day fresh.

You had some makeup on and put on the dress you picked out for your special day.

As you walked out, Austin was on his phone just scrolling through it in bed. "Hi, Baby, what are we doing today?" you said with a smile. Knowing what he was gonna say. Except you didn't.

"What do you mean? I have work...?" he said confused. Your smile immediately fell at his words. For a split second you thought it was a joke. Realizing that he wasn't playing around and acting. "Oh... I uh forgot sorry." you tried playing it off. He just awkwardly laughed and looked back at his phone. You just stood there unsure of what to do. You finally realized how long you had been standing there and walked downstairs.

Calling your bestfriend as tears welled up in your eyes. She immediately answered "Happy Birthday! Is everything alright?" she said in a cheery voice. You sniffled and lowered your voice saying "He forgot" You knew she would know exactly what you were talking about. "Oh no...Do you wanna just do something me and you? I feel terrible." she began in a very concerned voice. You stared at the floor, your eyes never leaving the wood. "It's alright, I think I'm just gonna go get some lunch or something. Happy Birthday to me." You pushed out trying not to cry, as a tear slipped down your face. You heard Austin start walking down the stairs and you quickly said "Look, I got to go. I'm fine. Love ya." as you hung up quickly. You wiped your tears and sniffled before you looked back and saw Austin already looking at you.

"Have a good day at work." you said giving him a half smile. You felt like you were just being over dramatic. Thinking it wasn't a huge deal. You tried to think about all the other people who said Happy Birthday.

So many people had posted you, texted you, and called you. But your mind kept going back to the fact that your boyfriend couldn't even remember your birthday. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in, as you heard the front door shut. You decided to get over it and go have lunch.

As you drove, your mind constantly kept going back to the look on Austin's face when he was confused about today. You tried to get your mind off of it once again and called everyone that had called you and said thanks.

Making it to the restaurant, it was this tiny vegan place that had the best kale salad ever. You could've licked the plate. You took a photo of it and the cute view next to the window but didn't bother posting it.

You went back home and decided to take a nap.
Waking up to the front door opening then shutting. You knew he wasn't very active on any social media so he probably didn't see how many people posted for your birthday. You walked downstairs to see him carrying a huge box of roses, he looked very confused. His eyebrows were furrowed and his jaw was clenched.

He put them down on the counter and you slowly
walked over to them. You picked up the card to see that they were from an old friend. You smiled and put them in the center of the island. Austin gives you a look that seems like he's about to freak out "Relax it's just from a friend." you said rolling your eyes. He looked at you and scoffed "Can I see the card." you handed it him and he read it. Is eyes softening after what he read.

"Bab-" he began as you cut him off by saying "It's fine it's already almost over I'm tired and I wanna go to bed." as you started walking away. "But I've been so busy with everything. I knew something was off. I love you so much. Please forgive me." he said his voice breaking. I felt bad for some reason, a trace of guilt in my mind.

I stopped walking and took a sharp breath, turning around. "I love you too, and I understand your busy. But this isn't gonna work if we don't put in any effort anymore." you huffed out. He looks at you like you just killed a million puppy dogs. His face turning hard, if stares could kill I would be dead.

"I'm pretty sure I'm putting in more effort then you." he said in a judgmental tome. I looked at him scoffing "You did not just fucking say that." I probably have fifty different shades of hurt written on my face. I mumbled "Says the one that forgot my birthday." As I rolled my eyes and walked into the bedroom. Tears welling up in my eyes once again.

"I was busy. If you had said something maybe I would've known. It's not my fault you didn't speak to me for the last 8 months!" He yelled. You looked at him again, furrowing your eyebrows. Raising your voice back you yelled "My fucking bad I thought you were tired! And I'm also so sorry that I didn't think it needed to be said! You've been a zombie for months and I've been here to support you!" as a tear fell. His eyes softening.

"I'm sorry for not remembering." He said, stepping closer to you. He opened his arms to take you in. You looked at him puzzled for a minute but realized he was truly sorry. You walked into his arms and hugged him. His hands snug around your waist and yours hung over his neck.

"I love you, and I want this to work. I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you it's just been so hard with Elvis. I'll talk to Baz and see if I can take a few weeks off." he said, looking down at you as a big smile fell upon your face. "I love you too and I want this to work even more than you do. I know work can be hard sometimes. You don't have to take time off if you don't want to." You finished sighing.

"No. I'll take sometime off. Now... let's celebrate the 3 hours we have left of your birthday!" He beamed kissing me on my cheek.
