My Long Lost Twin

Chapter Seventeen

BROOKE'S POV

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BROOOOOOKE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Skyler yelled, bringing in my traditional birthday breakfast. "Well good morning to you too!" I laughed, waking up. I sat up and Skyler put the tray on my bed. Every birthday we would make each other breakfast in bed and we don't get any presents, don't ask why... We just don't.

I took a bite of the pancakes, "Mmm it's so goooood!" "Haha thanks," Skyler replied, "So what are we doing today?" "I don't know... Harry is probably having some big party." "Right! Well we better get a dress for it!" "Yeah!" I finished my breakfast and got ready for the day.

I went out to the living room and heard Harry and Skyler were talking in the kitchen. I did want to eavesdrop but I know I shouldn't... So I just sat down on the couch.

HARRY'S POV

I walked into the kitchen and Skyler was sitting at the table. She looked really sad, like she was about to cry. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine," she said, a little startled. "Are you sure?" I sat down next to her. "Yeah..." "No you're not, you can tell me." "I'm just upset that I have to leave tonight." "What? Who said you have to leave?" "My swim team, we have a really big meet coming up and they need me to swim..." What? No! She just got here! "Oh... Hey! I don't think I ever got your number," I said, trying to change subjects, and she gave me it.

"Skyler?" I asked quietly. "Yeah?" "Are you and Brooke doing anything for lunch?" "No, why?" "Well, would you want to get lunch with me around 12:30?" "I'd love to!" Yes! "Great!" I said, then walked out to go to my room.

SKYLER'S POV

"Hi!" I said, skipping into the living room and taking a seat next to Brooke. "Why are you do happy?" Brooke asked me. "Welllll I am going to lunch with someone today!" "Who?" "Well he's related to you and his name rhymes with Mary Tiles!" "Ahh I'm so happy for you!" Brooke squealed, "What are you going to wear?" "Oh yeah... Can I borrow some clothes? You have better style than me." "Yeah and I have better style because I'm a Styles... Duh!" We always shared clothes, basically i had a second closer at a different house. "Thanks!"

"Hey Brooke?" Harry asked, getting our attention as he walked in the room. "Yeah?" Brooke responded. "The guys are coming over for our birthday, is that okay?" "Yeah! But don't you usually have a big birthday party?" "Yeah, but I didn't know if you liked parties or not so we just went with a small get together!" How thoughtful of Harry! "Ok!" Brooke said. Harry returned to his room and I turned to Brooke, "What did you get Harry?" "I didn't get him anything yet, I was hoping to get him something today... You?" "Nothing yet, we should go in on a present together!" "Yeah! I'll call Niall, he would know what Harry wants, and I'll ask him to go shopping with me today and you can pay me back later, I'll just add it to your tab!" "Okie dokie!" I owe Brooke for a lot of things...

BROOKE'S POV

AT 12:30

"Skyler! It's 12:30!" I said, as Skyler finished getting ready. "Really?" she scrambled to get her earrings in. "Yeah! Hurry!" She finished and went out in the living room. "Looks like Harry is running late too..." I said, noticing Harry wasn't out yet. "Yeah... Did you call Niall?" Skyler asked me. "Yeah, he's picking me up at 12:45 so you two need to go!" "Why do we need to go?" Harry's voice said behind me. "Because you're annoying me!" I said, turning to face him. "Well, I love you too!" Harry said sarcastically. I practically pushed them outside so I could quickly change.

I got into jeans, a hoodie from Navy Pier and slipped on my sequenced Uggs. I went back to the living room and saw Niall's car pull up. I went to the kitchen to grab a water bottle and got back to the door just as Niall rang the doorbell. "Hey!" I said, opening the door. "Happy birthday!" Niall said, enveloping me in a hug. "Thank you!" We made our way to his car and drive to a small mall.

"Gosh I don't have a clue what to get Harry!" I said, walking into the mall. "Me either!" Niall responded. "What? You've known him for like 4 years! I've known him for 4 days!" "I know but he's a difficult person to shop for. He's like a girl, you don't know what he wants." "Girls aren't hard to shop for!" What am I talking about! Of course I am hard to shop for! "Yes they are!" I rolled my eyes at him as we enter a shop. "So you haven't gotten him anything?" I asked Niall as I looked at some stuff. "Nope! I have no clue as to what to get him!" Niall replied. "What did the other guys get him?" "Louis and Liam got him shoes and an iPad and I don't know what Zayn got him." I nodded. I couldn't find anything so we went to a few other shops. I decided on some sweats from Jack Willis, Niall said on your he's always complaining how he never has and comfortable clothes, so this will be perfect. I also got him a gift card to iTunes, because who doesn't like iTunes. Right?

After shopping, we decided to get something to eat. We just got some McDonalds and ate in Niall's car. "Do you think Harry will like the One Piece I got him?" Niall asked, taking a bite of a hamburger. "Yeah! They look really comfy!" "Well maybe I'll just have to get you one!" "No you don't have to get me anything!" "Too late!" "Ugh! Niall! Seriously!" "I love giving people gifts!" "Just this one time!" "Nope! There is still Christmas and your other birthdays!" Niall said, finishing a third hamburger. Damn that boy can eat! We started driving back home and I noticed Harry's car was back already!

We walked up to the door and I entered. "Hey guys! How was lunch?" I asked casually. Niall didn't come in, he needed to get ready for tonight. "Good!" Skyler and Harry said together. "Thats great! Skyler, can I talk to you in my room?" She nodded and we went to my room. I showed her what I got and she said that they are perfect! And then she told me all about her date, "So we went to this sorta fancy place and we got to know each other better and turns out we are into the same artists and stuff and then we came home!" "Sounds like fun! Nothing happened between me and Niall... We ate McDonalds in his car..." I said, sorta sad. "It's okay, you'll see him tonight." I nodded. Then we wrapped Harry's present and talked about how we were going to Skype everyday after Skyler left. A few tears were shed. Alright two tissue boxes were empty and so were our tear ducts. Saying good bye is going to be harder than I thought...
