Tomorrow is Tatum's birthday! I'm really excited, I have a big plan set up. Her last class tomorrow ends at six, so I'm gonna pick her up and tell her that the two of us are going to dinner. So I'll bring her to her dorm so she can change and then I'm gonna bring her to her favorite restaurant, Santorini's, and all of her friends will be there to surprise her. I know it's not much but I know she'll love it. Ashton, Luke, and Michael are coming as well as Maddy, Kelly, Jack, Mason, and Hannah and a few more of her friends that Maddy and Jack told me about. But also, in the morning I'm gonna take her to Central Park and we're gonna have a little breakfast picnic. I think she'll like it.

For her present, I got her tickets to Rihanna, her favorite artist, and this necklace that is a locket and when you open it there's a picture of us on one side and on the other it says 'C.H. + T.S.'.

Since a few nights ago when I went to dinner with her and her friends, I made amends with Jack and Mason. I apologized to the two of them, especially Jack since I was rudest to him. I also apologized to Tatum more than once. It's just that I get insecure and anxious at times. My biggest fear is losing someone I love, and I'd hate to lose Tatum. So I get jealous and protective and self conscious, which I am really trying to work on. For Tatum and for me.

I woke up this morning to Calum tickling me. I tried to push him off but I knew there was no way he would stop till I was fully awake.

"Happy birthday, beautiful!" Calum had exclaimed when I say up. He kissed me, and we both smiled against each other's lips. "I love you so much and I'm so glad you were born."

I hugged Calum tightly. "Thanks so much, Cal. I love you lots."

I had spent last night at Calum's place. I'm planning on staying here a lot with him, so we went shopping a little just so I could get a toothbrush, shampoo and conditioner, body soap, and any other simple essentials I might need like razors and ponytails. Calum and I spent a nice night in after that with the boys, playing Wii and watching movies. It was awesome to spend some alone time with all of them. I know I've said this several times, but I can't even begin to explain just how happy I am the boys are here in New York with me. I love spending time with the four of them. They can make a casual night in much more fun than a night out, and I am so grateful for that. As much as I love my friends from college like Maddy and Jack and I love hanging out with them, we almost always go out. We're always out to eat at new restaurants, or going to teen clubs, or running around downtown New York. It's tons of fun, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's nice to just spend the night at home hanging out and not having to spend money and get all dressed up, which is easy to do with Calum and the guys.

"I have a perfect plan for us, my beautiful treasure. So get that cute booty out of bed and into the bathroom, we're gonna go grab some breakfast," Calum took my hands and helped me out of bed. He walked me to the bathroom and pecked my cheek before exiting the room.

After taking a shower, I changed into the clothes I had packed: black skinny jeans and a white tee shirt with black high top converse. I put my long brown hair into two french braids and put on some simple makeup.

I walked into the living room and was overwhelmed at was waiting for me. Along the wall was a string of letters that spelled out "happy birthday bitch!" and there were colorful balloons all around the room. Also on the wall was a big blown up portrait of me doing a double chin in a snapchat I had sent to Michael once. I laughed and took a picture of it, posting it to my snapchat story saying 'best boyf & bffs'.

Then I realized no one was in here. "Hello?" I called.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the four boys jumped out from random spots throughout the large room. I jumped a little, and then laughed loudly.
