"Happy birthday to you" We finished singing the last line as I ruffled Alex's hair and kissed his forehead. He scrunched his nose as his mum placed a kiss on his cheek and his dad patted his back.

"Make a wish" I smiled. He seemed deep in thought, as if this wish was serious.

Alex's POV:

I looked at Arabella and told myself.

'Never let her go. Please don't let fame get to your head. Keep her. Don't hurt her. Love her with all your heart.'

I blew out the candles and everybody clapped. Arabella had a wide grin on her face, the kind that a mother would show off picking her child up from it's first day of school.

Hopefully that dream of mine will come true one day.

But for now, I have to enjoy my birthday.

And continue the plans I have organized for her birthday that I have been sorting out for two months.

{1 hour later}

I was sat on the kitchen counter eating a packet of chips, talking to Jamie and his parents. I saw that Alex had changed his shirt to a nice, dressy one. My little sister Isabella came up to me.

an: remember her?!? omg its been frickin ages! i forgot about her, whoops :/

She walked infront of me and smiled, hugging my legs.

"What is it bubba?" I asked, picking her up and placing her on my lap.

an: shes still 6 btw, her birthday is on the 15th of jan :)

She pointed to Nick who was clutching a Comedown Machine CD by The Strokes.

"It's mine and he stole it" She said, sticking her bottom lip out. I couldn't help but kiss her cheek, as I was so proud that she actually stole mine and managed to figure out how to play it on my CD player. I came home from work one day to find her dancing around to it in my room. I'm glad because she won't be listening to pop and mainstream music when she grows up.

Hopefully.

"We'll go get it yeah?" I said to her as she nodded. She hopped up off my lap as she clutched my hand to her torso, walking infront of me and leading me to where Nick was sitting. I let her go try to take it as Nick stuck his tongue out at her playfully. Matt ruffled her hair and kissed her forehead before sitting back down again.

"Why don't you show him your special move?" I said to Isabella. She deviously looked up at me with her big blue eyes and nodded, jumping onto Nick and pulling his hair. I fell over into the arms of Matt in hysterics, feeling tears of laughter flow out of my eyes as the sight continued. He eventually pushed off her, running outside where most people where, now aware of what was going on.

"Give me the music! Give me the music!" She shouted over and over again, chasing him around the pool.

"NEVER!" He yelled back, still running.

All of a sudden, he came to a halt as he dangled the album over the water.

My freak mode was activated as Isabella gave him a death stare, then turning to me.

"You do the rest sissy" She said, kissing my cheek.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Nick said, pushing the album further away from me. I saw that Jamie was holding Alex's phone and was recording it, so I had to make it special.
