Proper grammar is important to me, so if you see any mistakes please point them out. Thanks! ~

Prompt -Lately the boys have been busy. They had long days filled with interviews, photo shoots, meet and greets and concerts. Niall understands that they are stressed, but he still thought that they would remember his birthday.

Warning-This one is a bit sad.
---------------------------------------

(No Pov)

Niall knew that he was the odd one out.

 Someone had to be.

Liam had Zayn and Louis had Harry. But over the years, Niall learned to accept it.

 After all, it wasn't like the boys ignored him, they were just not at close to him as they were with each other.

 And Niall was fine with that.

But for the past 2 weeks, all the boys have been stressed because of their insane schedule, and to be honest, Niall felt a bit left out.

------------------------------

When they all got home from a busy day, the other boys would head straight for the game controllers and each get one before Niall even walked in the room. 

Which was fine.  

But when Niall sat in a chair and not on the couch with the others because there "wasn't enough room" (even though Louis was taking up two spots) waiting 2 hours for a turn that never came, repeatedly left out of conversations and when Niall did try to join, he was ignored.

It hurt.

And when Niall had enough and walked out of the room, saying a quick "goodnight" over his shoulder, which wasn't returned. 

He couldn't stop the tears that came to his eyes.

-------------------------------------------

(A Week Later)

Niall woke up with a huge smile on his face. It was his birthday and they finally had a day off!

He was practically glowing from the huge smile on his face. 

He walked into the kitchen, expecting Harry to have made him, his famous fluffy pancakes as Louis had named them since he made them every year on Niall's birthday.

But when he walked inside, there was no pancakes insight. 

Instead, there were four angry looking bandmates, all glaring at each other.

Niall, feeling the tension, let his smile drop and quietly walked to the fridge to grab milk for his cereal.

He poured the rest of the milk on his cheerios and sat down at the tables with the rest of the boys, who were slowly starting to get into an argument with each other.

Before it turned into a full-blown fight, Liam stood up poured himself some cereal as well. When he reached for the empty milk carton he turned to glare at Niall.

"Dammit, Niall! You couldn't have left us some milk?"He practically growled at him.

Niall's eyes widened almost comically wide. He was expecting birthday wishes, laughter, and smiles. Not to be yelled at!

"I-I'm sorry. There wasn't much left..." Niall stuttered.

Liam rolled his eyes, grumbling a "Whatever."

As Niall ate his cereal silently with watery eyes, the other boys seemed to get over their fight, that apparently started because Zayn woke Louis up.

-------------------------------

When breakfast was done, Niall almost stormed out of the room when he saw the boys (like always) grab the controllers.

'Maybe they will let me play this time....' Niall tried to convince himself.

But they didn't let him play, instead, they ignored him.

He was still holding on to that bit of hope that they would include him and they would all have a great day.

But Niall soon realized that wouldn't happen.

The boys acted like he didn't exist and played the games for hours.

Even when tears slowly slide down his face, the others still didn't pay attention.

So at 5:47 pm when Niall walked to his bed and cried himself to sleep, without lunch and dinner he couldn't stop the horrible thoughts that came to his mind.

-------------------------

Now, the boys didn't try to ignore the Irishman. 

But he never stood up for himself and it was easy for him to fall into the background.

But as Harry pulled out his phone, went to Twitter and saw the 'Happy birthday Niall!' tweets, his breath hitched.

The boys paused the game and looked at Harry with concern.

"What's wrong Harry?" Zayn asked.

Harry couldn't say it. He felt so guilty. 

'How could he have forgotten his best mates birthday!'

He showed the others the tweets and their eyes all widened.

"Oh my god," Liam said.

They all looked around the room, just now realizing that Niall wasn't there with them.

They shared glances and all ran to Niall's room.

When they got there they felt even worse. 

Niall looked so small, all curled up with dry tear tracks on his cheeks and a frown on his face.

All they could think was 'What have we done?'
