Chapter 76 - Surprise!

Melanie

"-when tomorrow comes..."

I give a little smile, say 'thanks' then stop the recording. It's been a while now since I've been doing videos, I've made singing videos and putting them on youtube.

A lot of people have commented many positive comments and surprisingly nobody has commented anything negative.

Zayn doesn't know about it yet, since we had that big fight two days ago we've only been making small talk... and I'm scared that it's not very healthy for Scarlett if we keep going like this. I don't know what to do.

After editing the video(I just mean cutting out when I stumbled over the words when I was saying what I'm gonna be singing), I uploaded the video which takes about three hours so I leave the laptop on my bed and walk out the door.

Gracie's surprise party is tomorrow and I have so much to do, I grab my phone and call Harry. He answers after a couple of rings.

"Hello" His deep voice speaks through the phone,

"Uh hey Harry, Is everything good for tomorrow?" I ask him

"Uh yep, but do you have any candles...?" He asks awkwardly

"Don't worry about candles, I'll buy some and bring them tomorrow. So what time should I be there?" I ask

"Uh, around twelve should be good" he says

"Okay, sounds good. Call me if you need anything, bye" I say

"Bye" he says and I end the call.

I place my phone down on the kitchen bench and I walk up the stairs to Scarlett's room, I walk inside and she's sound asleep.

Zayn's gone off for work, I think he took an extra shift. Gracie's party is tomorrow and I don't know what's going on with him, it's ridiculous... we just made up a few days ago and now we are fighting again.

I walk into my room and look through my wardrobe and try and look for something nice for tomorrow. After going through everything I settle on an old dress, it's a plain black floor-length dress with a silver plaited belt on the waistline. I've only wore it once, it should be good for tomorrow.

Suddenly I hear the front door open and shut. He's home. I walk slowly out of the bedroom and peak downstairs, he walks in and sits down on the couch. He looks so tired.

I walk down the stairs and cautiously walk too him.

"Hey" I say quietly, "how was work?" I ask and he ignore me for a few minutes then answers.

"Great" He simply says with a blank expression

"Zayn... please. We can't just not talk,Gracie's party is tomorrow and can we just mature and then after her party we'll sort it out" I beg, and he just looks away. He gets up and walk up the stairs and into the bedroom.

I sigh and sit down on the couch. My head falls into my hands and I let a few sobs go.

***

We are currently all heading to Harry and Gracie's, Harry left the back door open while we set up. Harry is distracting Gracie and somehow getting her to wear the dress without getting suspicious.

Scarlett and Ben are in the back in baby seats while Zayn is driving and I'm in the passenger seat. He still refuses to talk to me, even though I'm the one who blew up on him I still want to discuss all this. That's why I said it all.

Zayn's Bentley comes to a stop and I come back to reality, I step out and unbuckle Scarlett's and Ben's seats.

"C'mon guys, lets go" I speak to them, with one on either side of me holding hands, Zayn unlocks the back gate and we walk in though the back door. "Okay, Ben. You take Scarlett into your room and play, I'll be there soon." He nods and they both run into Ben's room.

I look around their house and see a note from Harry on the counter.

Decorations on the couch, have fun! :) -H

I chuck the note in the bin and walk into the lounge room, Zayn is sitting on a seat looking bored. I look at the couch and there are a bunch of plastic bags with decorations.

"I'm guessing these are the decorations" Zayn says blankly,

"Uh, yeah" I say and walk over to the decorations. I pull out a number of packet of balloons, strings, confetti, 'happy birthday' signs, more party decorations and a piñata...?

Oh Harry...

I turn my head and see Zayn staring at me, we stare at each other for a while then I say,

"You gonna help..?" he just nods and I grab a packet of balloons and chuck it at him, "blow these up" I say and grab some other things to hang up.

Harry

"Harry, this is weird" Gracie chuckles, "when can I take this blindfold off?" She asks

"Not now, but soon so calm down, princess" I say amused

"I'm literally so confused right now, I'm in an expensive looking dress... blindfolded with you driving me somewhere. If I didn't know any better I'd say your kidnapping me, Mr Styles" She says and the smile on my face is completely impossible to remove.

"It'll all make sense in the end, patience princess" I smirk

"Why is it that you call me princess?" She asks,

"Because you are my princess, now shush" I shush her and she pouts, I just laugh harder.

I soon pull up in front of our house, Mel and Zayn have done a fabulous job on the outside- hopefully on the inside as well.

There is a big sign on top of the door, and balloons stuck everywhere. Nobody will drive past without knowing something's going on here.

I step out of the car and run around to Gracie's side, I open the door and one hand grabs her hand while the other is on her back, guiding her.

"Where are we? Hopefully not a dungeon, or a creepy house... Oh god." She panics

"Calm down princess, your in the safest hands possible" I assure her,

"I doubt that" She mumbles and I laugh.

I lead her to the front door and unlock it, luckily the lights are off and I whip off Gracie's blindfold. It's pitch black and we both can't see anything.

"SURPRISE! Happy Birthday Gracie!" The lights suddenly turn on and everybody we know it standing there with massives grins on their faces. My family, her family, Mel's mother, and all our friends are all gathered there.

All day today, I've been pretending like I've forgotten Gracie's birthday. Everybody has been, and I felt so guilty seeing the frown on her face. So know I feel much better knowing she knows I knew.

Her hands go up to cover her mouth and her eyes start to get teary,

"Oh my gosh! This is... absolutely unexpected. I-I" She pauses and wipes her eyes, "Thank you so much, everyone... Mum!" She greets.

(Hey guys, yeah I know not very long. But that's because I want all the greeting and party stuff in the next chapter. I'll try to make you wait not long :)

Please Vote & Comment, I hope you liked this CHAPTER! Even though it might've been a bit boring :( but anyway, toodles.

Oh and what did you think about Harry's POV? :D
