Adopted By Harry Styles

Chapter 38

Harry's POV

***

I wake up to the sound of silence. It somehow brings me flashbacks of when Brooke nearly offed herself. Ever since then I was never a fan of silence.

I get up from my bed and stretch. Brooke says I sound like a dying whale when I stretch considering that I moan when I do, but I just playfully push her head back in revenge.

I say sorry afterwords. I don't mean to hurt her or anything!

I suddenly hear my phone buzz. A text from Louis or in phone retrospect, Tommo xx.

Louis: YOUR BIRTHDAYS TOMORROW MAN! 😜😜😜

I smile. I had forgotten. Man, I'm going to be 21 tomorrow.

Me: Ugh. I feel old!

Louis: Harry...bro...I'm two years older then you! Don't get me started on OLD.

Louis' 23 now. I'm not very good with ages so I tend to forget.

I remembered that Christmas Eve. It was Brooke's first Christmas with a family in four years. In the late afternoon, my mum and Gemma came over. We all gathered around the Christmas tree but Brooke had other plans. She got out her phone, and started to FaceTime Louis...

*FLASHBACK*

"Hi mum!" I say giving her a massive hug.

"Hello Harry! Happy Christmas Eve!"

"Happy Christmas Eve!" I heard a female say. Gemma. Of course, I give her a hug. She's my sister after all.

They all brought gifts. Awesome! I'm sure Brooke is going to be really excited.

"Brooke, get down here! The family's here!" I call.

"Coming!" She came down but with a casual look. She just wanted to look fairly normal instead of a Barbie doll which is one of the many reason why I love her. She just wants to be herself and nothing but herself.

"Hi!!" Brooke shouted in joy.

"Hi Brooke!" Gemma shouted as she ran up to her to give her a hug. My mum did the same thing. "I can't breathe!" Brooke muffled.

"Sorry!" Gemma and mum said together.

"Hang on I really want to do something." Brooke got out her phone and went to FaceTime.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You'll see!" she replied with a smile. She kept the phone screen away from me so that I could be a surprise I guess.

We all heard the ringing from her phone which made me wonder who the hell she was FaceTimeing.

"Hi Brooke!" I heard a familiar squeaky voice lad say. Louis.

"Hi Louis!!" Brooke screeched. "Happy birthday!"

"You really FaceTimed me just to say that? That so sweet Brooke, thank you."

"No problem!" She then pointed the camera to us. "Say hi guys!"

"Hi Louis!" We all said.

"Happy birthday man," I say.

"Thanks guys," Louis said. I think he was blushing. "I'm surprised I didn't get a call from you Haz."

"I was going to do it I swear, Lou."

"Ah no problem I was just teasing." Brooke then faced the camera back to herself.
