Chapter 8: Two 18th Birthdays

This chapter happens in the time span of month just to get this over with. Anyways, enjoy!

(Harry)

The morning of my birthday, I wake up to see that Sky wasn't there. I get out of bed and decide to put some clothes on to eat breakfast.  I make my way downstairs to find all the lights off. "What the heck?" I mutter.

"SURPRISE!" I hear someone yell. It sounded like Niall. "Oh, shit! I was early, wasn't I?"

Then about five other people hiss, "Niall, shut up!"

I hear Sky sigh and giggle, "Guys, it's no use. Niall blew our cover. Harry, turn on the lights, already."

I smile and flip on the lights. Five of my best friends are rising from behind tables and couches. Balloons and streamers decorate the main floor of the house. Wait a minute... who is that standing next to Mel? "Um... who's that?" I asks, pointing to the girl with blonde hair.

"Oh, this is Addie!" Sky introduces. "Mel met her yesterday."

Addie waves. "Hi."

I wave back. "This is really cool, guys. This is awesome."

"It was Sky's idea," Zayn tells me.

Sky blushes. "I don't want to take all the credit—"

"But it was all her," Liam cuts in.

I walk over to Sky and hug her. "Thanks."

"No problem," She answers. When I pull away, she asks, "What do you want to do on your birthday?"

"I don't know..." I reply. "Why don't we just have a party here?"

"Sounds good," Sky says. "That's what I had planned, but I wanted to make sure. Let's party, guys!" She skips over to the TV in the living room and turns on the stereo. What Makes You Beautiful starts blaring. Everyone starts dancing.

After a good four hours of dancing and having fun , it was time for everyone to leave. It was only around four o' clock.

I sigh and flop onto the couch, smiling. "That was fun."

"It was," Sky agrees. "And it'll be even more fun to clean up everything."

"Oh, right... Here, let me help," I offer.

"Thanks." We walk around and pick up the wrapping paper from the presents people brought and put it in a trash bag. I got a bag of carrots from Louis, a film from Liam, a pocket mirror from Zayn, a Nando's gift card from Niall, a bag of candy from Mel and Addie each, and (my favorite) a picture from Sky. The picture was one that Louis took of us. It was us sitting in the driveway one day, our heads together as we drew with sidewalk chalk. We had huge smiles on our faces and it looked like we were having so much fun just being together. I had set the frame on the side table next to the couch.

Next, we pick up the eight shot glasses that litter the table. Don't worry, we didn't have any alcohol, so we used soda. We had a contest to see who could down the most in 60 seconds... Niall won.

When we were almost done cleaning, I say to Sky, "You know what else I want for my birthday?"

"What?"

"I want a girlfriend."

I can almost sense Sky rolling her eyes. "You can't just say you want a girlfriend and expect one to just appear. Well, I guess you could just go ask a fan. I think they'd be glad to."

"I meant I want a certain girl to be my girlfriend," I hint.

"Really? Who is she? Do I know her?" Sky questions.
