Kenzie pov

"Hey mom."

"Yes Kenzie."

"Dad called."

Her face looked like she was really shocked and it had a mixture of anger and a look of upset. She always asked if he called me but I don't think that she ever thought that those words would come out of my mouth.

"He- he did?"

I simply just nodded my head in response. "What did he say?"

"He wished me a happy birthday. He was told me that- that he was sorry and he asked if him and I could get together cause he wanted to talk to me and explain things."

She has a concerned look on her face.

"I didn't say anything. I don't- I don't know if- if I want to or not."

She let out a sigh "honey you do whatever you want this is your decision." I slowly nodded.

"I'm- I'm gonna go upstairs and get ready for bed and just read a bit I'm a bit tired." I said not wanting to talk about that subject anymore. She nodded her head and walked over to me.

She gave me a hug "goodnight birthday girl" she whispered in my ear. "Goodnight mom love you" "I love you too, I'll see you in the morning." "See you in the morning" I said as I pulled away from the hug.

I walked down the hall and grabbed the basket. I carried it up to my room and set it on my bed. I went into the bathroom and took off my makeup and got ready for bed. Secret Love Song part 2 by Little Mix playing in the background as I took off my makeup. I sang along quietly. I put my hair up into a messy bun.

I walked back into my room, I sat on the window seat and looked out of the window. I looked out at the street lights what were shining bright. My phone buzzed and I saw that it was a message from Niall:

Niall😏: don't forget to open the correct letter.

I smiled and then walked over to the basket and took out the shoe box. I pulled out the first letter. The envelope said "open when you first get home" I smiled at the letter and sat back down on the window seat. I twirled the letter between my hands and then I finally opened the envelope. I pulled out the letter and looked at his handwriting. He hand wrote the letter. He hand wrote ever letter. He took time to hand write every letter. I began reading his neat writing.

Dear Kenzie,

Happy birthday. You probably thought that I forgot all about your birthday and I'm sorry about that but I promise that I didn't. How could I? I never will. You're too important of a person to forget your birthday. Well I hope that when you're reading this you are my girlfriend. It would be quit a bummer if you said no. It would also make this really awkward but I'm just going to go with that you did say yes.
Inside of this box there are a bunch of letters. All tell you when you should open them. Now you'll probably forget to open them or whatever but that's fine cause even if you do forget I'm sure that at some point you will open them.
Kenzie, I hope that you know that you are beautiful. You're absolutely beautiful. You're amazing. You're such a great person. Everyone that says or does anything rude to you I want to hurt them. You do not deserve to be treated like that. No one does, but especially you, you are too beautiful and important for that crap. Don't listen to a single word that those idiots say cause that's all they are, they're idiots. You know what I think. I think that they're jealous. I mean look at you. On the first day of school all the boys thought that you were hot, I mean you are. You're very hot if you ask me. I was jealous. When all the boys were talking about how hot you were and how they wanted you I was jealous. I was very jealous. All the girls were jealous too. They were mad that you came, looking so damn beautiful, all the boys wanted you and no longer chased them.
When I bumped into you on the first day of school, when I first found out that it was you my heart skipped a beat. You were back. Words can't describe how much I had missed you. Not a day went by that I didn't think about you.
The night of the party, Louis, Liam, Harry and Zayn all told me to keep an eye on you. They said that all the boys wanted to get with you and that they'd do anything in their drunken state.
I am sorry. I'm sorry about all of this. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me it would've been fine. Riley never would've started anything and everyone would still love you. I'm sorry.
Happy birthday Kenzie. I hope that you had a great day and I really hope that you did say yes.
-Niall
