~Harry's POV~

"Surprise!"

The lights flick on, and everybody jumped out of their hiding place.

"Do you like it, love?" Maddie asked hopefully.

"No, I don't," I said with a frown.

"Ah, come on!" Louis said. "All that hard work and cleaning for nothing?"

I smiled. "I love it, guys!"

"Well, that's a relief," Louis said as he rolled his eyes.

"Now that we're all here," said Mum. "Let's cut the cake!"

Everybody made their way into the kitchen. The band, Kim, Becky, Mum, Louis's parents, Dad, Naill's and Liam's parents, Maddie, and everyone else that was there.

Mum got the cake out of the fridge.

"This cake looks so good!" I said, licking my lips.

"Well, your mum made it," said Niall.

"But Becky ordered it," Mum said.

The party went by fast, and eventually, the only people left were me, the band, Becky, and Mum.

"I can help you guys clean up if you want," she offered.

"No, that's fine," Becky said. "We'll make Louis do it."

We all chuckled at the comment until Louis realized what Becky said.

"What?!" Louis exclaimed. "I'm not cleaning the whole house!"

"Lou, we're kidding!" Liam said. "We're all going to help."

"Well, since you've got it under control, I think I'll leave," Mum said. "But Harry, before I go, can I have a word?"

"Sure," I said, and me and Mum walked out to the front porch.

"So, are you proposing tonight?" Mum asked me.

"Um, yes, actually," I said. "I thought you knew."

"I did, I just wanted to make sure," Mum said. "Do you have the ring?"

"I think it's in your car," I said. "I asked you to save it so Maddie won't accidentally find it."

"Oh yes, I remember now," Mum said. "It's in my purse."

"Can I have it now?" I ask.

"Yeah, here," Mum said as she rummaged through her purse and pulled out a small, dark-colored velvet box.

"Should we go in now?" I ask.

"M-hm, it's getting chilly," Mum said.

We walked back into the house.

"How'd the talk go?" Niall asked.

"It was good," I say with a smile. "We should go in the living room."

"How come? The kitchen is just fine to talk," Zayn said.

I used my head to signal to the box behind my back.

"Oh, I see," Zayn said. "Let's go then, lads."

We all made our way into the living room. Becky and Niall got their guitars and started strumming "Little things" while we all started singing to it.

During the chorus, I brought Maddie into the middle of the room. I took her hands as the song was nearing to the end. I got down on one knee and opened the box, revealing a diamond ring and started singing my last solo.
