Sydney's POV

We all fell asleep on the couch after one movie. Eventually Louis did carry me up, because he's sleeping next to me. It's like 4 in the morning so It's technically my birthday. I survived another year. I did it.

Later I fall back asleep with my mind racing as usual. I guess Louis didn't notice I woke up and than fell back asleep. My nightmares aren't as bad but they still leave an effect.

By the time I wake up for good, Louis is not next to me. He probably went to the bathroom. One side told me. He left you, you saw it coming. Come on. The other side said. The negative side of my mind is violent. And normally over powers the kind side. Today is one of those days. He probably did leave me.

I slip out of bed and take a shower, and start to slit my side and thighs. I don't feel anything like usual. I'm just so use to it. Once I please myself with all the scars that I've made, I get dressed. Something a little nicer but not enough to ask if today is something special. My birthday was never a big deal. My dad said I'll never get anything or do anything special, so I got over it quickly.

I walk downstairs, but slowly I've never really took a good look at the house. It was big of course. You would expect a celebrity or in this case celebrities to live in a house like this.

I heard faint whispering in the kitchen. Hoping for the best, expecting the worse. As I got closer I heard a quiet "Shh" from one of them. I enter and there they are.

"SURPRISE!!" They all yell at once. I'm shocked. I thought they wouldn't care, honestly.

"Happy Birthday, Sydney!" They all say again.

"I don't know what to say. Thank you." I say.

"We made you breakfast!" Louis says so happily.

"Thanks guys." They pull out a little stack of pancakes. It does look good. I start eating the pancakes and they'really so good. I can't even describe it.

"These pancakes are really good! Who made these?" I ask. Surprising Harry raises his hand. "That would be me!"

I knew Harry could cook well. I don't know how I knew that.  But I didn't know this good. "They are really good, Harry!"

"Glad you like them." Harry says.

They remembered I can't eat a lot Which made me happy. I do eat all of the pancakes and earned a smile from the boys.

Today was fun I have to admit.  We went shopping and saw a movie. When we got back home I'm really tired, but they still have a few things planned.

"Okay, ready. 1...2...3..." Liam says and they all start singing the Happy Birthday song.

"Blow out the candles and make a wish!!" Niall says to me.

I do as he says. I wish... everything can be okay and that I'll be safe here. And I blow them out.

The cake was good. But I couldn't eat a lot, sadly. Once they're done eating their cake, they all run off to get something and I'm sitting on the couch just thinking. Zayn runs in first with Louis behind him. Harry, Liam, and Niall running in together.

"Me first!" Louis shouts. He hands me box that says UGG. I open the box you and there is a pair of boots inside. They are black with bows in the back. "I love them, Louis!" I squeal and hug him.

Zayn is next and he hands me an Ipad. "Awe Zayn you didn't have to." I say hugging him. "No It's your birthday, babe, you deserve it." he says back rubbing my back.

Harry hands me a little box.  I open and gasp. It's a necklace that has 6 small hearts. Each heart having one of our names. "Harry... I love this." I say in a whisper. I'm speechless for what I've gotten so far. They must've paid so much. I know they are famous and get loads of money, but I don't like people spending so much on me.

Liam hands me the iPhone 5s. It already has all their numbers on it. "Thanks you Liam." He sends me back a smile.

Niall says to close my eyes and I do so. He sets something on my lap and tells me to open. I look down and I see my trumpet case. I open it and my eyes widen and I cover my mouth. "Oh my god... Niall..." My trumpet It's fixed. It's not bent. He did it. He kept the promise.

I jump up and hug each boy tight and say Thank you. I've never gotten this much before. Well I never did get anything... Another thing I got tonight was a kept promise. 

I put on the necklace Harry gives me, that is going to be like my new token and not my blade.

"I was wondering if I can try sleeping alone tonight?" I ask.

Liam doesn't seem to sure about it, but does say we'll try it. "If you have a nightmare or anything please, please come to one of us. We won't mind if you sleep with us or wake us up." Liam says.

"Okay." I say and walk upstairs. It does feel good having people loving you and keeping their promises.

Later on I fall asleep. This time It's a nice sleep. Nothing worrying me. Nothing scaring me. Nothing. I'm just hoping no nightmares tonight.
