Hoping (One Direction FanFiction)

Chapter Nine

I lie in my bed, tangled up in my blankets

"Do you think we should wake her?"

"I don't think so, it is her birthday"

"I'm waking her up"

A finger start poking me in the cheek, then in the shoulder, my eyes flutter open, staring into my brothers annoying face

"Happy Eighteenth Birthday Sis" he shouts in my ear

"Enough Jack, Happy birthday sweetie, presents?" Mum says excitedly

"First I need breakfast" I say groggily and with that I get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen. In the kitchen my dad is making my favourite breakfast, chocolate chip waffles with orange juice and and banana, my parents are into the whole idea of having fruit all the time.

"Thank You Daddyyyyy" I say like a five year old, and kiss him on the cheek

"Anytime"

I dig in, eating very messily, noisily and quickly, that was soooo good

"I'm gonna go have a shower and then we will do pressies" I shout skipping up the stairs, I run into the shower, wash my tangled hair, scrub my body and then I'm out. Done. I wrap my hair in a towel and try and find something to wear, where was that dress, there it was, it was my all time favourite dress, cream with green and blue flowers, I slip it on, manage it get the zipper up, and then brush my hair, into a ponytail, NOW ITS PRESENT TIME!!!!!!

When I get downstairs, the front door closes and I hear a familiar laugh

"Meggggggg"

"Happy 18th Birthday Love" she says running over to me

Everyone plops onto the couch, presents in hand

"Bags going last!" Meg shouts

I laugh at her. My parents hand me a bunch of presents covered in yellow wrapping paper tied with pink ribbon. Typical Parents, but I still love them,

"Thank you mum, thank you dad" I squeal tearing open the first present, it's a white shoe box, I lift open the lid, they're gorgous! It's a pair of white leather wedges, they look so cute

" I love themmmm"

Next a smaller present, two pairs of my absolute favourite jeans, I have needed a new pair, my current ones have holes in them, very worn out!

"Oh my god, I needed a new pair, how did you know, thanks" I say grinning so hard

Next a fairly big package, I rip it open,

"Yessssssssssss" I squeal, it's the warmest, fluffiest coat I have ever seen, it's navy blue, I have been saving for months, for this exact coat

"But how?! ......." My mum just points to her forehead

One lucky last present, it's so small and so delicate, I open the lid of the read velvet box, it's a gold necklace, and there is a good disc in the middle that reads "Dream big, don't give up on hope" I start tearing up

"It's beautiful" I stutter

I leap into my parents arms

"I love you guys so much, you're the best"

I sit back down and my brother hands me a green bag

"I was told I had to get you a gift"

"Thanks big bro" I say as he starts to wrestle me

"Don't mess up the birthday girls hair" Meg says from next us

I get off him and pull open the bag, £45 Starbucks voucher, yes, a cute beanie, and a pair of tan ugg boots!!!
