"And they're all standing around me singing, happy birthday to you. But there was one thing missing. And that was the moment I knew..."

-Taylor-

"Thank you for coming," I am repeating to multiple people as they walk in the door to Louis' apartment. I am here hosting his party, just as I had planned. He flew his family and friends from Doncaster out to London to be here.

I have decided to forgive him. He should thank Camilla for it though. She had gotten my number from Demi and called me explaining that her management had forced Louis to go to dinner with her. I felt really sorry for her and Louis after that. It must have been awfully awkward for the two of them.

That's part of my birthday present to him. It is written in the card:

Lou,

Happy Birthday! I hope it is great. I hope you enjoy the gift I got you. But there is a second part to the gift. And that is this. I forgive you. Camilla told me what happened. I'm sorry I didn't believe you before. I should have and it's my fault. Happy birthday!

~Taylor

I just hope he doesn't read it out loud, because that would be awkward. The other half of the present is a necklace. It's a more manly version of my necklace, but it has a T on it.

Since the one he got me has an L, I'm returning the favor. It's also in about 7 boxes. I'm putting him through the same torture mwaha.

-Louis-

"Cake time!" Taylor yells through the apartment to everyone. I make my way over to the dining room where my cake is set up.

As soon as everyone is in the room. I light my candles and everyone starts singing happy birthday. I look around at everyone singing. I see my pile of gifts and the huge cake. The only thing missing is Taylor's forgiveness. I wish she would forgive me.

I hate it when she's mad at me. It's killing me inside right now. Especially since I got that call from the one and only Mr. Harry Magee saying, you guessed it, that I have to break up with her as soon as possible.

The song ends and I close my eyes, making the only wish I need right now.

I wish for Taylor's forgiveness.

And I blow out the 22 candles.

I've opened all the presents but Taylor's. She hands me her present and it's gigantic, but awfully light. If it's what I think she did....

I open the card and read it. I gasp at what it says. She forgives me! For some reason, this makes me feel a whole lot happier than it should. I look up at her and meet her eyes. She gives me a small smile and I resist the urge to give her a hug right then and there. I proceed to open the present, since I feel everyone's eyes on me.

I open up the box to reveal...another box. Oh no she didn't.

I open up the next one to reveal another box. She did.

I laugh, because I know it is payback for what I did to her.

I open up 4 more boxes when finally there is the smallest box. I open up the smallest box to reveal a more manly version of the necklace I got her, but this one has a T on it.

I reach out and give her a hug. I whisper a 'thank you' in her ear that means more to the two of us than anyone else will ever know. I immediately put the necklace on and we receive a series if 'awwwws'.

I sit back down and we all get into our circle to just talk.

Everyone has left to leave Taylor and I the only ones left at my flat. I finally get a good look at the outfit she chose to wear today. It's a black and white dress with a pair of her signature white Keds. She looks amazing if you ask me.
