Days passed by fast and soon it was the day of Mary's birthday. She decided to celebrate it in London with the guys and some other of her friends.
„What do you think about this?“-Aston showed Marvin his birthday present for Mary.
„It's great. How did you get it?“
„There was an auction and I bought it there. She said she loved it since the first time she saw it“-Aston smiled.
„I think it's going to be her favourite present“-Marv smiled too.
„Let's go outside. Reesh said they'll be here in 5 minutes.“-Aston walked to the front door.
„Do you think she's going to like our surprise?“-JB asked when Aston and Oritse got into the car.
„I hope she will“-Aston replied.
„If she doesn't at least you'll make it up to her with your present, Ast“-Marvin smiled.
„Haaaaapy biiiiiirthdaaay!“-guys shouted when Mary opened the door of her apartment.
„Thank you“-she smiled and let them in.
„What is it like to be 20 years old?“-Oritse asked when they sat on the couch.
„Same as 19, I guess. Nothing changed drastically. Do you wanna drink something?“-she asked.
„It's a little bit early for us to get drunk“-Marvin teased.
„I didn't mean it like that. But I can bring you alcohol if you want it“
„No, he was just kidding“-JB smiled.
„So, we have a suprise for you“-Marvin said when Mary came back with sodas.
„Really? What kind of a suprise?“-she became curious.
„We hope you'll like it. It's a song we wrote a while ago. Are you ready guys?“-Aston looked at them and they all nodded.
„When my strenght was gone and I just gave up on life“-Marvin began to sing 'Proud'. During the song Mary began crying because she related to every word guys sang.
„So, what do you think about it?“-JB asked when they finished the song.
„It's amazing. You wrote it?“-she asked,
„Yeah, when we were in LA in February this year, we got inspired and wrote it in just few minutes“
„I think it's going to be one of my favourite JLS songs“-Mary smiled.
„There is one more thing you need to know. We wanna dedicate this song to you in a speacial way. You've been there for us from day one and you you always said how proud you were of us. So this is our way of showing you how much your love and belief in us means to us“-Aston smiled to her.
„What? You're dedicating to me?“-Mary felt more tears coming down her face.
„Yeah, we dedicate it to our families and friends too, but in a special way we remembered you while we wrote it“-Oritse explained.
„Thank you! It's the best birthday present ever!“-Mary shouted and hugged them.
„We're glad you like the song. We were affraid you won't“-Marvin said.
„Are you crazy? It's an amazing song! When are you going to publish it?“
„Next year. We're going to be ambassadors for Sports Relief next year so it's going to be official Sports Relief song.“-Aston smiled.
„That's great! It's the perfect song for a cause like that.“
„To make this day even better, I think you should open Astons present“-Marvin said.
„I don't think this day can get any better, it's amazing so far“-Mary smiled.
„Here, open it“-Aston gave her the present.
„It's big. What is it?“-Mary started unwraping it.-„What? How did you get it?“-she shouted.
„It was on auction few days ago and I remembered how much you love that picture so I bought it“-Aston shrugged.
„Thank you. You just made this day perfect“-Mary kissed him on the cheek.
