Chelsie's POV
I could tell Scarlet had fo rgotten it was my 21st by the shocked look on her face, but I didn't really mind. She was always the most kind and loyal friend to me, and that's all that matters. Plus everyone knows Scarlets rubbish with dates.
She hurried off with Zayn last night so much that I doubt she heard us talking about my birthday when it was past midnight.
But I got the best birthday present ever anyway. To be with the one and only Mr Horan. Let's just hope I'm Mrs Horan at some point.
Niall took my hand in his then and gave an apologetic squeeze. I looked at him and our eyes met for a few seconds. Then our breakfast of croissants and jam came and broke the connection. Unfortunately.
I saw Niall struggling to slice open his croissants and giggled. He looked at me, embarrassed as I rolled my eyes playfully and cut them for him. When I was done I leaned back and pecked him on the cheek. He drew circles gently on my hand for a second then returned to spreading butter and jam on his breakfast.
"Happy Birthday Babe" he said
"Thank you" I giggled.

Ella's POV
Scarlet has messed up bad this time. Okay, missing trips to town is okay, but Chelsie's 21st? How can anyone forget that? It doesn't look like she really minds though, she holds grudges but not for long. Trust Scarlet.
After breakfast Chelsie opened her presents. Millie had gotten her a new oversized jumper and an iTunes voucher of £15. I knew she would find a way of spending it on one d.
Rebecca had gotten her a life-size cardboard cutout of Niall.
"For when he's not with you" she said winking at Niall and smirking at me.
And I got her two tickets to see the reunion of JLS next year. They were always our joke. Her reaction was priceless. She stared then looked at me and shook her head rolling her eyes.
"Thank you guys, this is the best birthday ever."
Niall whispered something in her ear which was obviously special to her as she turned her head to him and gasped.
"Really?! Are you sure?!"
"Course" Niall replied and pulled Chelsie into a delicate kiss.

Niall's POV
I said I would take Chelsie shopping because she said she needed new clothes and makeup. She looked so happy. I told her that that Saturday was a day I had no gigs so we could go then. She said she wasn't doing anything so we went back to our rooms to get ready. Scarlet was the only one dressed, so the rest of us needed to get ready.
I went into Chelsie's room 20 minutes later after a shower and getting dressed. She was wearing a cropped mint green jumper and tight black skinny jeans.
She was sat in front of her mirror in her room curling her hair. She looked stunning.
As she grabbed the last piece of hair she smiled at me in the mirror. She is still so shy.
When she had done her hair I pulled her into a hug and she nestled into my chest. She looked at her watch.
"I have 15minutes until we need to meet the others. That's just enough time to do my makeup" she stated.
"I love you" I said as I sat down on her bed.
