Me and Harry were the only ones still awake, my head was resting on Harry's shoulder as we went through Instagram. Zayn was supposed to be home soon, he took perrie out for a date.

"It's your birthday tomorrow kitten" he said softly and I laughed.

"Just another normal day"

"No way, it's way more special than any other day"

"The day I was born more special than any other day? Wow. The day I was born was the worst day of everyone's life"

Harry dropped his phone on his lap and wrapped his arms around me squeezing me tightly.

"If you were never born I can't even imagine where us boys would be. We would be so caught up in our own thing we would have never thought to care about people so much, but you've shown us that we shouldn't be selfish and em, tomorrow you turn 13, one year more that you've made it through and I couldn't be more proud" he said and rubbed the area where my cuts were over my shorts.

A small smile played on my lips as I moved more into Harry's warmth. The old fireplace in the corner was still going from when we were toasting marshmallows earlier and I looked at the ashes and the coal, just thinking about nothing but everything, when zayn came through the door with a goofy smile on his face

"Someone's happy" Harry stated

"Yeah" zayn said dreamily and I giggled.

"You kissed her didn't you" I said with a big smile

He nodded and winked at me.

"Yay!" I laughed and got up hesitantly from Harry's warm hug.

"Well I'm tired as so I will see you sometime tomorrow night if I get lucky enough to sleep for that long"

"Don't bet on it kitten" Harry said and kissed my forehead in goodnight.

I groaned and hugged zayn before heading upstairs to Lou's room. Shadows were in the walls and just as I went to open Lou's door there was a shadow. Of a person. In a hoodie that looked exactly like the shadow I'd seen again and again. I hurried into Lou's room and he opened his eyes

"Come here baby girl" he whispered and opened the covers.

I crept in next to Lou and he held me tightly in his arms. I felt safer as I slowly closed my eyes. But before I did I saw something. Not something, a face. The face of my father. It can't be him. He's gone. No, I'm just tired. I closed my eyes but it didn't get rid of the face I swear I saw just moments ago.
