"[Y/N] do you have those prints ready for me?" Your boss asks as she leans against your desk.
"Almost, i'm working on the last one and then i'll Email them to you." You say with a smile and she nods her head with a smile.
"Happy Birthday by the way! Any plans for the night?" She asks with a smile.
"Thanks! And no, Not really, just gonna have a night in with my roommates, I don't really like celebrating all that much." You say with a laugh
"How come?" She asks with a frown
"Just never really did growing up, I mean i used to when i was dating my ex.. But i don't know i guess i'm just not in the mood this year." You say with a half hearted smile.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or anything." She says as she noticed your smile fade.
"No! It's fine. I'm fine! No worries.." You say as you give her a fake smile and she nods as she smiles as well.
"Well try and have fun anyway!" She says as she smiles and walks off.

As you walked through the door of your apartment you noticed a stuffed animal and a band shirt signed by your favorite band and a bouquet of flowers, You checked the card on it,
"Happiest day of Birth to you! Miss and love you lots! Call me! :-) (also Michael wanted me make the gift from the both of us but this one was my idea so i didn't lol) - Luke
You laughed to yourself and rolled your eyes, You grabbed the flowers and headed off to your bedroom where you noticed more things, A bouquet of balloons from Matt and Jenny took over your room, You noticed a box on your bed and a stuffed animal with a 5sos shirt on it, You knew right away that it was from Ashton.
"Happy Birthday little one! Hope you like the gift, Miss you lots! Love ya! (also Mikey wanted me to make this gift from both of us but i bought it so give him zero credit.)
In the box was a lava lap and you smiled to yourself, You told Ashton once that your favorite thing you had ever owned when you were little was a lava lap and one day when it broke you cried for a whole hour until your grandmother bought you a new one, Every year since you've known Ashton he's always bought you one, But since you traveled so much, they would either end up lost, forgotten somewhere or broken. The rest of the box was filled with different things as well, Candy, A band shirt of your favorite band and a pair of socks that would form a dog when you put your feet together, You couldn't help but laugh and it felt nice that they were still thinking of you. The next thing you recieved was a tiny box and another thing of flowers, it was from Mali.
"Happy Birthday, Thinking of you always, Wish i was there to celebrate with you, Call me soon! Love you bunches! xx - Mali, Inside the box was a tiny silver locket, on the front had your first initial and your birthstone, inside was a picture of You and Mali at your birthday party three years ago, The first birthday you celebrated with Calum, her, and the rest of the boys, It was here in LA, it was your first year of College and Mali came down and celebrated with you since she was already here for something else, or so you had thought. It was a surprise party that Calum and Mali planned, But mostly Mali since Calum was on tour, It was before you left school and began traveling with him and the guys so you were bummed when you found out that Calum couldn't make it, Until you showed up and he was the first person to pop up and surprise you.
You began to feel a bit sad as you remembered Calum. You hadn't talked to him since the last time you saw him, He did mention you once during an interview when the host asked if the rumors of the break up were true and he said they were. All the boys were a bit hurt by the break up and how you left him. They didn't even speak to you for a few months but finally reached out to you, Luke was the first, Since you knew him and was friends with him way before you dated Calum you hoped you didn't ruin the friendship you had with him, But when you talked he told you he still cared for you and that he never wanted your friendship to end, so he had to talk to you before it did and you were glad. You talk to him every once in a while if your not busy with work, When he's alone he face times you and texts everyday.
