Tegan's P.O.V
April 2015

~~~

"Happy fifteenth birthday, Tegan!" A chorus of voices exclaimed, waking me from my slumber. I groaned, and rolled over in my bed.

"Wakey wakey eggs and bacey!" I recognized Perrie's voice.

"It's my birthday, let me sleep!" I insisted. I heard their chuckles.

"I'll just eat the cookie dough all by myself." Zayn trailed off.

"Cookie dough?" I immediately sat up in bed.

My room was filled with birthday balloons. Perrie and Zayn both had those blow things.

"Cookie dough is what you always want for breakfast, isn't it?" Zayn asked. I bobbed my head up and down quickly. Zayn chuckled. "Well, that request is granted!"

I jumped out of bed, and dashed to the kitchen. I scampered to the freezer, and pulled out the tub of cookie dough. I quickly pulled off the lid. I pinched the raw extremely unhealthy substance between my fingers, and popped it in my mouth.

"Mmm," I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut.

"You're so cute!" Perrie chuckled. I opened my eyes, and smiled sheepishly.

"Does it feel great to he fifteen?" Zayn asked, leaning his elbows on the counter. I shrugged.

"I've been fifteen for like three minutes." I said. Zayn chuckled.

"What would you like to do today?" Perrie asked me, sipping tea.

"Nothing really," I shrugged.

It will be weird to spend a birthday with out Adelaide. That's how I've been spending my last two birthdays. When the boys were gone, Adelaide was always there. Man, I miss her.

Adelaide had been living in a flat in London, and we used to text and call loads. While I was on tour, I got distant. I couldn't believe she never came to see me perform.

"If you want nothing does that mean we can take your presents back?" Zayn teased.

"No!" I exclaimed.

"Oo, I'm so excited! You're going to love what I got you!" Perrie squealed, clapping.

I jumped up on the counter, and continued eating the cookie dough. Zayn and Perrie rushed out of the kitchen. I swung my legs back and forth, and stuck my finger in the dough, as if it was all mine. Well, it was all mine. I don't plan on sharing.

A couple minutes later, Zayn and Perrie returned to the kitchen. Zayn had his hands full while Perrie carried a single small gift bag.

"Open it!" Perrie shoved the bag my hands. I licked my finger clean, then grabbed the bag.

I pulled out the pink tissue paper. I pulled out a brochure titled, "Thailand". I scrunched up my eyebrows, and unfolded the brochure. When I pulled it open, two ticket stubs fell out. Printed in large black letters on the inside was, "GUESS WHO'S GOING TO THAILAND? TEGAN! Happy birthday, T! I love you so much! ~Perrie".

"Oh. My. God." I gasped. "I'm going to Thailand?!" I jumped off the counter and tackled Perrie in a hug. She chuckled, and wrapped her arms around me. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I squeezed her.

"You're welcome!" She chucked.

"But there's only two tickets, and three of us." I pointed out, not understanding.

"For you and Zayn to go." Perrie smiled. I smiled back at her.

"Okay, my turn!" Zayn broke up our embrace. Perrie and I rolled our eyes, and shook our heads.

I stood in front of Zayn, both of my hands free. Zayn handed me a wrapped rectangle box. I ripped the wrapping paper off, and revealed the iPhone 6.

"I told you I'd get you a new phone." Zayn said.

"You did tell me that." I remembered. "Thanks, Zayn." I smiled up at him.

"You're welcome." Zayn smiled back. He handed me a large box. "I'm going to go to the toilet. I'll be right back." Zayn excused himself.

At the bottom of the box was a black t-shirt. I unfolded it, and held it out to look over. In the middle of the t-shirt was Cruella Deville. In some weird font it had her name. I raised my eyebrows.

"What are you guys trying to say?" I asked Perrie.

"We're trying to say," Perrie trailed off, biting her lip.

"We're trying to say we got you a puppy!" Zayn exclaimed, entering the kitchen with a Dalmatian in his arms.

I gasped, dropping the t-shirt and running over to him.

"This is mine?" I asked, wide eyed.

"Sure thing!" Perrie answered.

"He-she, it's so cute!" I exclaimed, taking the puppy from Zayn's arms.

"He," Zayn clarified.

"I'll call you Freckles!" I held the dog in front of my face, looking at it. The dog looked at me, and my heart almost melted.

"Do you like him?" Perrie asked, nervously.

"Of course!" I answered, seriously.

"We wanted to get you something you wouldn't expect, but we didn't know if you'd like him." Zayn explained.

"I love him! Thank you guys so much!" I told them, genuinely.

Maybe I wouldn't be so lonely around here.
