Mark's house

Louis: Guys... you really didn't have to...
Lottie: (rolls her eyes) Shut your chewhole and just open it.
Daisy: (bouncing; excited) Open Open Open!
Louis: (sighs) Here it goes... (opens the present) Oh wow... (its a silver picture frame with their family photo).
Mark: (smiles) So that you'll remember... wherever you go... we'll always be there for you.
Louis: (touched; smiles) Thank you. (Looks at Daisy and Phoebe and pulls them into his lap playfully making them giggle).
Fizzy: (smiling mischievously) That's not it...
Louis: (raises an eyebrow).
Lottie: (lets out a giggle and pulls a key; yells) Happy birthday Lou!!!
Louis: (eyes widen) No fuckin way. (Incredulous; to Mark) You got me a car!?
Mark: (shrugs) Your nineteen Louis. It's a necessity.
Louis: (unsure) But... you really didn't have to...
Mark: (stern) It's my responsibility Louis. You're my son.
Louis: (and that was enough to warm his heart and put a smile on his face).

Harry: (on the phone) Ni?
Niall: You picked up! A miracle!
Harry: (chuckles) How are you mate?
Niall: Same old, same old. The real question is how are you!? Having fun?
Harry: Yup. It's Lou's birthday. So we're at his dad's house.
Niall: Oh wow. (Excited) Wish that sucker for me Haz!
Harry: (smiles) Will do. (Bites his lip; hesitant) How's Zayn? (Adds quickly) and Liam?
Niall: (Oblivious) Zee's good, well except the few times he had a mental breakdown since Liam was dating Jade.
Harry: (amused) Liam is dating Jade?
Niall: Was. (Sighs) I almost started to believe that he had gotten over Zee...
Harry: (small chuckle) Looks like I've missed alot...
Niall: (nods; then remembers Harry can't see him) Yeah... Zayn was acting weird at that time.
Harry: (furrows his eyebrows) Weird? Like... jealous of Jade?
Niall: (hums) Mm hmm... (sighs) if you were here he would've probably told you.
Harry: (snorts) As if.
Niall: (on realization) Y-you remember?
Harry: (curses inwardly) Um... I have to go Ni.. bye. (Hangs up).
Niall: (sad sigh) Oh Haz...

Louis' house:

Louis: (walking into the house) This was the Best. Birthday. Ever!
Harry: (smiles softly).
Louis: (hugs Harry; breaths into his chest) Thank you...
Harry: (wraps his arms around Louis, resting his chin on his head; closes his eyes and sighs contentedly; but then remembers his dream) Um... (pushes Louis off slightly; gives a small smile and walks away).
Louis: (obviously sees through his faux smile; about to say something).
Bell rings...
Harry: (turns around with a raised eyebrow).
Louis: (sighs; walks to the door and opens it; eyes widen).
Stan: Hello Lou... How are you?
Louis: (in shock; just stands there completely bewildered).
Harry: (senses something wrong) Lou? (Walks up to him and opens the door a little wider; eyes the boy in front of him) Um... Who are you?
Stan: (ignores Harry; dryly) Oh... you've already got company...
Harry: (annoyed) Excuse me, who the fuck are you?
Stan: (to Louis) Can I come in?
Louis: (snapped out of it) Um... come in.
Harry: (gives Louis an incredulous look but it goes unnoticed).
Stan: (walks in inspecting the place) This place hasn't changed... (turns to Louis; gives him a small box) Happy Birthday.
Louis: (hesitant) Um... thank you (opens it).
Harry: (already not impressed; peeps in; clutches his hands subconsciously when he sees the small heart shaped pendant).
Louis: Wow... its beautiful.
Stan: (smiles) You were the first person that popped into my mind when I saw this.
Louis: (doesn't say anything; just smiles).
Harry: (scoffs and rolls his eyes not so subtly).
Stan: (glares at Harry) Lou... can we like... talk. Alone?
Louis: Um... (looks at Harry who looks as if he's about to explode).
Stan: (sensing the hesitation) Please... It's been so long.
Louis: (sighs) Ok fine... lets talk in my room (waves his hand for Stan to go).
Stan: (nods and walks into Louis' room).
Louis: (lets out a breath) Har-
Harry: (obvious by his red face and his harsh tone) What the hell Louis!?
Louis: (sighs) Haz... just... five minutes okay?
Harry: (huffs).
