You belong with me (A Harry Styles fanfiction)

Chapter 23 - 18th rose

“Mom.. Dad.. lolo.. lola..”

My feet were stuck on the ground but I couldn’t wait any longer and hugged them all right away. Everybody clapped in awe as my tears couldn’t stop from streaming down-not caring if my make up was ruined.

“I missed you guys soo much” my voice trembled while I dug my face to my mom’s shoulder

Mom rubbed my back gently while my dad lifted my chin to meet their gaze

“We missed you too my little angel”

“Now now, don’t cry. It’s your debu and you don’t want to smudge your makeup” lola smiled and rubs my tears gently away with her handkerchief.

I parted away gently and smiled at them. Lolo gave his arms out to me for a hug and I hugged him right away.

“How’s my little Emily going?” He whispered

“I’m fine lolo and I’m 20 now. I’m not little anymore” I chuckled

“So? You will always be our little Em em” He smiled

I nudged him at the shoulders while Anne walked up to us and escorted them next to the remaining occupied sits in their table (no wonder why there are extras).

I walked to the stage and looked at the 18 girls with the lightened candles. The host instructs me to blow each one to make each birthday wishes come true. I blown it all as everyone in the room clapped their hands while some whistled and giggled.

The next event was the 18 roses. Relatives of Anne were the first 11 and they also got called chronologically. They first danced with me and gave me a warm hug before going back. The cousins of Harry (the ones who sang a chapter ago) each made me laugh a little while dancing.

The next 12th candle is Liam so he stood up as the host called his name. He holds my hand and wraps his other arms around my waist sfter giving me the rose and starts swaying to the music.

“Harry’s still not here yet I suppose” He whispered

“Yup” I shrugged my shoulders

“Don’t worry he’ll come. He never-“

“Never misses a friend’s birthday, I know”

I know I was a bit rude to Liam but all I want is to not focus on Harry tonight. Everybody keeps on telling me that he’ll come because they don’t want me to be upset but I rather admit to the truth than being told by lies.

“I’m sorry” I mumbled and looked up to him

“No it’s okay-I understand. Just don’t lose hope okay?” Liam nods

I smiled back at him as the next 13th rose is with Louis. He also did the same process as we danced and talked about him shopping with Eleanor and sometimes dealing with fans when he’s with Eleanor. I gave him advice of staying strong and not let anybody ruin their relationship. Louis smiled at me as he hugged me before letting go.

 The next 14th rose was with Zayn . He lets go of Perrie’s hand and patted his coat. He held my hand and also wraps his other arm around me after giving me the rose as we sway with the music. He keeps telling me jokes and how he loves to draw when he’s not that busy. Zayn is usually the quiet one but I’m glad he’s already opening up to me.

The next 15th rose was Niall. He first got up and fixed his tie and fix his hair for little. Before holding my hand, he bows down gently and everyone-including me giggles at his action. He gave me the flower and did the same process like what the others did.
