Erica's P.O.V.

Today is November 26th, my birthday. I walked downstairs and Beth was the first one to hug me. She ran to me full speed and threw her arms around me. I laughed and returned the hug. 

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone yelled. I guess I was the last one to wake up. Taylor and Zayn, Louis and Kaelyn and Harry and Christina were sitting together while Niall and Beth were cooking breakfast. Liam came up to me and gave me a hug and kiss. 

"Good morning, beautiful," he whispered.

"Good morning, handsome," I whispered back. Everyone around the room shot eachother looks and smirks and all I could do was laugh it off. 

Niall's P.O.V. 

"Breakfast is ready!" I called out. Pancakes, bacon and watermelon. Everyone dug in and that's where I decided to say it. 

"So everyone, I have some news," I threw it out there. Everyone froze and looked up, waiting for me to say more. "Beth and I are going back to Ireland for a week to see our families." Beth looked up from her plate and smiled slightly at everyone around the table. I think she was scared to see their reactions. Erica shot me a look that said 'ask her out'. I just stared her down and then winked as if saying 'thats my plan'. She looked back down at her plate and smiled as she continued to eat. 

"That's awesome, mate!" Liam yelled. 

"Erica, do you want to come and see your family?" Beth asked. Liam shot her a concerned look. He thought she was going to say yes and leave him behind. 

"No thanks, I'm going to stay here with Liam," I saw Liam smile at Erica. 

"When do you leave?" Louis asked, kind of sad. 

"Tomorrow morning," I said.

"Well, we'll have to throw a big party before you go!" Zayn added.

Erica's P.O.V. 

After breakfast, I went upstairs and got changed into dark blue skinny jeans, a white v-neck blouse and a grey scarf. I walked to the bathroom and straightened my hair and put on a black hat and went downstairs to grab my boots from the closet. 

"Looking good!" Beth complimented me. 

"Thanks, Beth," I smiled at her. We are going to the club to celebrate my 17th birthday. 

Beth's P.O.V. 

I ran upstairs to get changed for the club for Erica's 17th. I heard her phone go off and I checked to see that it was our best friend, Sara from back in Canada wishing her a happy birthday. I got changed into pair of dark blue skinny jeans and my favourite shirt. Then I went to the bathroom and straightened my hair. I added a little bit of mascara to make my green eyes pop. Niall walked past and stopped at the door where he just stood there with a huge grin on his face.

"What?" I smiled back. I had no idea why he was grinning so much. 

"You look gorgeous." he said. I smiled and thanked him while he came and stood next to me. He always complimented me and I always tried to compliment him back as much as I could. He was wearing a tight white shirt and a pair of dark jeans with it. I have to admit, he looked really hot. 

I grabbed my wallet and phone and ran downstairs, giving Erica her phone. 

"Sara texted you," I said, handing Erica her phone. 

She took it from my hand with a 'thank you' and saw that Sara wished her a happy birthday. She smiled and quickly typed something back. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her head shoot up as if an idea just struck her.
