"Thank you for the beautiful lunch today, love." I said, linking my hand with his. He had asked if we could head out for lunch, after I canceled my own lunch plans. And of course we got Louis his presents.

"For the hundredth time, you don't have to thank me, petal." he said, squeezing my hand. 

We had gone back to Niall's to change our clothes, and we were heading to Louis' place. He parked the car and stepped out, as did I.

He grabbed my hand, as we headed to the door. I rang the bell, exchanging a small smile with Niall.

Louis opened the door, making both me and Niall smile at him, but the look on his face made us frown. He was eyeing us suspiciously. 

I stared back at him confused, before realizing. I gasped, before rushing back to the car and opening the door. I wasn't very fast, because heels aren't easy to run in. I grabbed the big box, almost hitting my self for forgetting.

I walked back next to the two lads, Niall sheepishly smiling at me, and Louis' eyes beaming.

How the hell was he 28?

"You may enter." Louis said, snatching the present from my hands, and taking a step back. I laughed at him, making him finally crack a smile, before he smiled at Niall too. I wrapped my arms around Louis.

"Happy birthday, Dodo." I said, the old nickname slipping through my mouth, making him smile. He kissed my cheek before hugging me back.

"Happy birthday, mate." Niall said, hugging him. They shared talk, as I walked into the house, removing my coat and hanging it. 

I walked to the living room, the sound of my heels on the wooden floor making everyone turn to me. 

I smiled at everyone, before I walked to my sister and hugged her.

"Heard about the fight." was the first thing Tessa told me. I sighed, and shook my head, saying that I didn't want to talk about it.

I glanced at Grace who was pouring herself a glass of red wine, and she instantly handed me a glass, making me smile. I took it, and filled it up, before heading to the couch, where the others very lazing around. Everyone except Jenny, and Harry.

"Hey." I said sitting down beside Rachel. I got a chorus of hey's, before everyone went back into their conversation. 

Apparently, all of them had talked, including Zayn, and they decided to release something for the tenth anniversary next year.

I was buzzing, not only because of the alcohol, but the excitement. If only Jenny was here to share it with me.

I dialed her number, checking on her, because she didn't come back home after she had left for lunch with Tessa.

Her phone was switched off, making me get worried. Her emotional health hasn't been the best, and it's like I'm waiting for something to happen to her, god forbid.

"Hey, anyone heard from Jen?" I asked, looking up from my phone, as they shook their heads. Niall and Louis sat down on the couch, continuing their talks, a glass of wine in Niall's hand as well.

"She's not picking up?" Rachel asked turning to me, as I shook my head, biting my lip. I exchanged a glance with Niall, and he too knew something was wrong.

It's gonna trouble me until I know she's fine.

"Tess, what time did you two finish lunch?" I asked, turning to my sister, who was conversing with Liam. 

"Uh at around 4." 

"So no ones seen her in the past 4 hours?" I asked, raising an eyebrows. They all held confused expressions and said no.
