•Your POV•

I wake up to the smell of pancakes. Blueberry pancakes. I climb out of bed and I go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and fix my hair a bit. I walk downstairs, and I enter the kitchen. I spot a plate full of pancakes, French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, and orange juice. I notice a small note beside it.

"Good morning, Hope!! Happy Birthday!! I made you your favorite breakfast. Eat up and get dressed. But don't rush. Meet me in our nearby Starbucks!! X -S"

I grin and chuckle. Oh wow Scarlet.

I sit down at the table and I dig in the breakfast. While eating, I received a couple of text messages from my parents, Jacob, and a few friends.

After that, I got showered and dressed in a nice blouse and jeans. Tossed my hair into a ponytail and put on my favorite sneakers. I get my keys and phone and I climb into my car. I drive off to Starbucks.

I arrived fifteen minutes later. I climb out and enter the shop. I look around, but I don't spot Scarlet. I feel a light tap on my shoulder. I turn to see Claire, our employee friend. "Hey, Hope. Happy Birthday." She smiles and hands me a bouquet of roses. I gasp. "Oh my. Thanks, Claire." I chuckle and I see another note. I pick it up and read it:

"I hope you like the roses!! Happy birthday, princess! X -Nialler"

I blush and chuckle. "That's not all." Claire says, handing me my favorite drink. Another note.

"Hey. I bought you your favorite drink! Niall sent you the roses as a present. I need you to go to the park now!"

I chuckle and I thank Claire. I rush back to my car. I put the flowers aside and I take a quick sip of my drink. I turn on the engine and drive off to the park.

I park nearby the park, and I climb out. I stroll around. I spot another note on our new planted maple tree. I pick it up and read:

"Remember this tree the lads and us planted? Well anyways, go back to the apartment."

I sigh and get back to my car. I climb in and drive off.

Fifteen minutes later I arrive at my apartment. I climb out with my flowers and drink and I walk towards the door. I unlock it and I turn on the lights. Thank god, no surprised me. I put the flowers in a case and I throw my empty drink away. I spot another note on the table. I groan and pick it up.

"You didn't exactly finish it. You know? The trick was to always look behind you.."

"What?" I mumble. I turn around and see Niall. I scream in shock. I run to his arms and he tightly embraces me. Just the way I like. "Happy birthday, princess." He whispers into my ear. I smile and I pull away arm length. "Thanks, Nialler." I chuckle and he pecks my lips. I blush and grin. He smiles and kisses my nose. "You did this?" I ask him. " Nope. We did." He grins. Oh how much I missed the grin. "We?" I chuckle. The rest of the lads walk in with Scarlet. "Happy birthday!" They smile and Scarlet winks. I shake my head and they all give me a hug.

"Thank you guys so much." I chuckle. "Anything for a lifetime friend." Scarlet says. I smile. "You guys are so sweet. I feel like I'm going to cry." I lightly chuckle, wiping my watery eyes. To be honest, I missed Niall so much. Seeing the lads. Scarlet in Harry's arms. It's just so.. amazing! "Aww." Everyone chuckles and Niall pulls me into an embrace.

This was the best birthday present I could ever ask for.

"Who's ready for cake?" Niall blurts out and I laugh. Harry and Scarlet uncover a box, revealing a triple chocolate cake. I smile. They take it out the box and put candles on it. They all sing Happy Birthday to me. I make a wish and we enjoy the cake. And spend the rest of the day together.

Wow. What an amazing day.
