*Harry's birthday*

I woke up super early, got ready and went to Harry's house. Anne let me in and I walked up to Harry's room. I took off my shoes and began to jump on his bed.

"Wake up babe!!" I yelled.

He groaned as he faced me and opened his eyes "what are you doing here?"

I laughed as I fell on top of him, he wrapped his arms around my thighs "I came to see my birthday boy"

"Birthday boy huh?" Harry smirked.

"Are you always this prevented?" I asked him.

"Sometimes" he winked at me.

He slapped my ass "Okay buddy, you need to get up cause we got plans"

"Really?"

"Yup, momma made plans" I smirked as I got off of him.

"No come back" he whined.

"Get dressed and pack your things for the weekend"

"Where are we going momma?" He smiled at me.

"You'll see" I closed the door and went downstairs "he's up" I told Anne.

"Does he know?"

"No" I smiled "I hope he loves it"

"He will darling" she wrapped her arm around me and hugged me.

Anne is like a second mother to me and I love her so much.

"How's Emma?"

"Oh she's good, I feel like she gets a bit sad whenever I leave her"

"Yeah?"

"Hmm" I nodded "I think she understands why I leave and I always make it up to her when I come back but it just used to be me and her every day 24/7 and now that's changing you know?"

"I'm sure she does understand, do you know where you're going get?"

"No" I shrugged.

Harry came downstairs with the strap of the bag around his shoulders "okay I'm ready" he looked at his mom then me.

"Take care of him Lacey"

"I will Anne" I smiled at her as Harry went to say goodbye to his mother then followed me out to my car.

I got in the driver's seat as he put his bag in the back seat. He got in the car, put his seatbelt on and looked at me.

"You're seriously not going to tell me where we're going?" He asked me.

"Yes! You do that to me plus this is your birthday weekend!"

I began to drive "so do you feel older?"

"Honestly no" he chuckled "mind if we listen to my music?"

"Of course not Haz" I smiled as he set up his music.

Harry and I were singing to The 1975 out loud, he placed his hand on my thigh.

"Harry..." I warned him "I'm driving"

"And?"

"And I know you and don't think about it okay? I want to make sure we get there safely"

"We've been driving for two hours now... Let's stop and eat"

I sighed "I'll let you know when we can stop"

"Woah who is this tough cookie?"

"Your girlfriend" I laughed "come on babe, I want this weekend to be perfect for you"

"I'm with you, it's good enough"

"I know but you threw a fucking house party for me and I just want this to be special"

"It will be but I'm not moving my hand"

"Fine"

"How's your family?"

"Good, um my uncle's been on my ass about college"

"Lacey you know it's not your fault if you have to leave for college"

"But I need to stay with Em"

"You don't have to babe, you have been taking care of your sister since your mother passed away. It's time you start taking care of yourself and there's nothing wrong with doing that"

I sighed and pulled into a resting stop "I feel like she'll hate me"

"Then talk to Emma, explain it to her the best way you can"

"Do you want to go eat while we're here?"

"I would love to" he smirked as I smacked him.

"Not like that you ass"

We got out of the car and got something to eat. We got back into the car "do you want me to drive for a few?" Harry asked me.

"No, no this is your birthday trip"

"Lacey"

"I'll be fine Harry..."

I began to drive back on the highway, Harry knocked out as Ed Sheeran came on. I slowly began to cry to give me love.

Harry rubbed his eyes and looked at me "hey beautiful, babe what's wrong?"

"Um it's just... I'm sorry Haz" I shook my head as I wiped my tears.

"It's fine what is it?"

"I think of my mother whenever this song comes on"

"Are you going to be okay?" He put his hand back on my thigh.

"Yeah" I nodded "yeah"

We finally got to Maine "okay so we're in Maine" Harry looked at me "why?"

"Well when I was little and growing up, my parents and I would come here for vacations"

"Really?"

"Yup"

We drove up to a cabin and I parked my car as we grabbed our bag.

"Did you rent this?"

"No, it's my cabin" I told Harry.

"Really? This used to be your mom's?"

"Yup"

We walked into the cabin, this cabin is basically my childhood. I showed Harry around the cabin as we went up to one of the rooms.

"Are we going to stay here?" He asked me.

"No" I laughed "this was my parents room and I just feel weird if we stay here so we're going to stay in my own room"

"Okay"
