“Happy Birthday sweetheart, time to get up!” my mum said, shaking me lightly.
Ugh, wow I’m 16 big deal. “What time is it?” I groaned rolling over burying my face in my pillow.
“Its 10:30am we have lots of things to do today for your birthday! Wow, 15 years ago I was in labour, and…-“ she started and it made my skin crawl.
“Ok mum I get it!” I groaned and flung the blankets from my face.
“Hurry downstairs, Robin’s making pancakes for you!” mum squealed as she left my room. Once again I groaned, stepping out of bed, and then walking over to my wardrobe picked out some clothes.

After I showered, dried my hair, put on some mascara and chap stick, and my clothes I heard my mum starting up the stairs.
“El are you-“ “I’m coming now mum god!” I exclaimed.
I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen. Robin and my mum stood side by side, messing around with something on the counter, there backs to me.
I rolled my eyes at the effort they were putting into my birthday. Its not like it matters anyway.
‘Just humour them, and everybody else for that matter…’ I thought, as I leaned against the island.
“Happy Birthday!” they said together, and handed me a plate of pancakes. I moved around to the side of the island and hopped up onto the bar stool. Robin placed the plate in front of me then mum handed me a card.
“Gemma will be here in a few minutes to take you out.” Mum said as I dug into the, more than slightly burnt, pancakes.
“Oh and in the card is a little something from Robin and I.” she said, then taking a sip of her tea.
I opened the card and it was pink and sparkly and really ugly.
“Wow its so pretty.” I said my voice not to happy, if I go from rude to overly nice then I think everyone will think something is up.
The card was cliché and corny, as usual and inside was 155£ (about 260$)
I was genuinely happy and grateful. “Thank you, but you didn’t have too!” I said.
“Nonsense sweetie, you deserve it.” she said, coming over and kissing my forehead before going to answer the door.
I finished the for lack of a better word, pancakes, as my mum greeted whoever was here.
“Where is she?” I heard the familiar voice of my sister Gemma.
“Gem!” I screeched, running to jump on her.
“I missed you so much!” I said as we hugged and mum and Robin went upstairs.
“Well look at you. Happy birthday! You’re 15 wow!” Gemma said dumping her bags down.
“Now mum told me that you got a little birthday cash, why don’t we go shopping?” Gemma said smiling like an idiot.
“We should but I have to save up to get myself an iPhone…” I said waving around my Blackberry, held together by duck tape.
“Oh don’t worry about that, I may have heard that someone is taking care of that…” she said with a devious expression. Uh-oh…
“Mum!!” Gemma yelled, making me wince not expecting her to yell.
“Yes hun?”
“Can I borrow your car?”
“Umm I don’t think so sweet heart, I need it.” mum said vaguely.
“Fine!” Gemma said rolling her eyes and huffing.
“Same old Gemma…” I murmured.
Gemma is one big goof ball. She is a quiet and shy girl to the fans and in front of new people but she is a weirdo with us and around family. Its quite the funny switch actually.
When we were all little it was awesome. We all played and messed with each other. Before Harry went on X-Factor we were a typical family. I really miss the old days.
“C’mon Ellie! Lets go!!” she squealed from the front door. I couldn’t help laugh at her and follow her out to the car.

“Since when is there so many cars on our street? Its September also…” I said looking around at our street.
“I don’t know, maybe someone is having a family party?” Gemma said pulling into our drive way.
Its 5:57pm and I am really exhausted. I just want to go and Skype with Abby, seeing as she requested too.
“Oh pleaseeeeee Ellie! I want to wish you a happy birthday, even though I'm at my dads.”
Abby’s whining voice echoed in my head making me smile.
Gemma grabbed her two bags and I grabbed my one and we headed inside. She opened the door and let me go in first.
I was just about to jump on the couch when I saw, at least, 20 people standing just behind the couch.
“What the-“ I started, not recognizing faces yet.
“Surprise!” they all shouted, a few people blowing noise makers.
“Happy Birthday Ellie!” said the all to familiar person as they stepped closer to me.
