*Harry’s P.O.V.*
After that night when Louis called all of us back home nothing was the same in the flat. Even though Johanna said she was fine I knew something was wrong. She hadn’t lived with us that long but I thought that I knew her pretty well. So when she told me she had forgiven Louis I could do nothing but doubt that. She was a fragile person and words like that couldn’t just be washed away with kind words. I’m not saying she should stay mad at Louis forever but he had said those few words that would break her. And I had the feeling she really was broken.

When I had pulled her into my room to ask her what the heck she was doing, she seemed melancholy, she was happy but I could see that down under she was deeply depressed. Somehow she seemed content with something, this was lost to me. I had asked her why she was doing this like she did, and she had answered me by saying ‘I just don’t want to ruin the time we have together’. She sounded so sure that the time was running out. I became worried and when she told me she had a plan I became even more worried.

Johanna was like a sister to me. And when Louis had told us what he had said to her I actually jumped him. The other guys pulled me off him before I could leave a mark on him. I was so mad at him for hurting her like that. She didn’t deserve to be treated like garbage, and he knew it. She however thought that that was her position in life. It felt like she believed she was put on this earth to be a punching bag, physically and mentally.
*End of Harry’s P.O.V.*

The day went on as usual, I ate breakfast and then I went out on a walk. I actually did go out just to walk. Even though I told everyone I was fine, I was still a little shaken up. I really like Louis and I knew he regretted saying those words to me but they had still been said. Harry was right when he didn’t believe my lies. But I just hoped he would leave it alone because this wasn’t going to be a problem much longer.

After my walk I went to buy some food and then I went home. The night was spent watching movies. Louis, Harry and I watched Ted and Let Me In. Great movies and we ate popcorn. I went to bed early because I was exhausted and the boys kept giving me worried looks. Mostly Harry though. And it was beginning to annoy me.

And when I woke up the next day I hoped they were going on some interview or something today. I honestly needed a day to myself because keeping up and act of happiness was kind of hard. I was happy, but not to the extent that I wanted to smile all the time. I laid still in my bed for awhile listening to the sounds outside my door. I didn’t hear anything so I decided to get up. I went to the bathroom first and then went into my room to grab my computer. I then walked into the kitchen, placed my computer on the island. I plugged it in and turned it on. I picket out the different ingredients that I needed to make oatmeal and then typed in my password to log into the computer. I let it load a little, logging on to Spotify and Skype. I began to make the food and when I was sure the computer was done I put on Ed Sheeran’s album. I softly sang along with it. When my oatmeal was done I placed some into a bowl and then leaned against the counter to eat it. Harry walked into the kitchen and I almost choked on the food. I didn’t think they were home.

“Are you okay?” He laughed as he grabbed some juice out of the fridge.

“Yeah.” I coughed and drank some of the tea I had just made. “Didn’t think you guys were home so I was just shocked to see you.” I shrugged and ate more of my oatmeal. Harry looked down into the skillet I had made the oatmeal in and scrunched his nose up.

“You’re eating that?” He pointed at it with a disgusted look on his face. I laughed out loud and nodded my head.

“Yeah I am.” I took another spoon full and made an ‘mmm’ noise. He laughed lightly and shook his curls. “Harry! Not over the food!” He laughed even louder and hopped up on the counter. Just when he was about to say something someone called me on Skype. I pulled the lid up so that I could see better and saw that it was Soph requesting a video chat. I accepted the call and before I could say hi her voice screamed through the speakers.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” I started to panic and laughed awkwardly.

“Soph, thank you! But could you not say anything about that. Harry’s here. And I haven’t told them it’s that day today…” She nodded and laughed.

“Hello Harry!” He smiled before hopping of the counter and stood in front of the camera. He waved to her and smiled.

“Hi Soph! How are you?” She smiled back and shrugged.

“I’m good, missing my best friend though!”

“Naaw, Sophie! I miss you too!” I smiled at her before the front door opened. In walked Niall and all I could do was laugh. “It’s like he felt that it was her calling.” I laughed and then I realized he was sleeping with Yvette. But that didn’t mean he and Soph couldn’t be friends.

“What? Who is it?” Soph asked really curios about who the person was.

“Niall.” Harry laughed and Niall blushed. He came into view and waved at Soph.

“Hello Sophie!”

“Hi Niall!” She smiled back and I laughed. Niall walked over to our fridge and grabbed a coke. I looked at him with curious eyes. Asking him with my eyes why he was here.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” He asked and hopped up on the island. I sighed and grabbed my bowl of oatmeal. It was cold now but I was still a little hungry.

“I’m just wondering why you are here.” I shrugged and took a spoonful. He shrugged too and looked at Harry.

“Harry texted me and told me to come over so I’m here.” I looked at Harry but he only smiled. When I looked at the screen I saw that she was smiling too. I groaned as I realized she had already told them about today.

“You told them?” She laughed awkwardly and nodded.

“I did, but it was like a month ago. When I talked to Niall.” I nodded and turned to the guys.

“So you have known about this for a month?” They nodded and I groaned again. “Dammit.” I muttered and shook my head. “You knew I didn’t want them to know…” I spoke to her in Swedish since I practically scolded her. She laughed awkwardly and just waved me off.

“Hey that’s not fair!” Niall said and pointed at me.

“What?” I was confused when I looked up at him.

“You can’t speak Swedish in front of us, we don’t understand what you are saying.” Sophie and I laughed out loud at the same time.

“I agree with Niall. It’s not fair.” Harry sulked and pouted at me. I grabbed his lower lip and pulled it towards me.

“I don’t care what you think.” I winked at him before letting go. “Plus, if you want to understand then learn the language.” I shrugged and saw Soph looking at her phone. She sighed and then looked up at the screen again.

“I have to go guys. Some punk broke into the café I work at and the police just left the crime scene. My boss needs me to clean up.” She sighed again and waved goodbye. She said she would try to come to London soon and then she logged off. When I turned my computer off and then looked up at the boys they were giving me creepy looks.

“Noooo.” I faked horror on my face and backed up. They nodded and walked towards me. I screamed lightly and ran down the hall to Louis’s bedroom. I busted through the door and he jumped in fright as I jumped up on his bed. “Louis save me! They’re trying to celebrate me!” He looked at me confusion written all over his face. A second after me Harry and Niall came into the room. They grabbed me around my waist and started to drag me away.

“What’s going on guys?” He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

“We are celebrating her today, remember?” Louis though about it and then his eyes shot wide open.

“Crap! That’s today?” I actually felt my heart hurt a little as he said that. I thought he had forgotten my birthday, even though I hadn’t told him about it, but when a huge smile broke across his face I knew he was kidding.

“You are so mean!” I laughed and tried to free myself from Harry’s arms. When Niall helped him to keep me in place I sighed and gave up the struggle. Louis got up out of bed and shooed us out of his room so he could get dressed. Seeing him in only his boxers made me blush. I was dragged out into the kitchen and put on a chair. Not to long after that Liam, Perrie, Zayn and Yvette walked through the door. They all laughed when they saw me sitting there pouting.

“Are they mean to you darling?” Yvette asked. She came over and hugged me, because when I tried to stand up Harry pushed me back down. “And on your birthday out of all the days of the year.” She fake gasped and I flipped her off.

“So everyone knew?” I looked at the floor and they all said yes, yep and yeah at the same time. I sighed and shook my head. “I didn’t want that.” I knew I was being childish but I didn’t care. Unlike others this day only reminded me about the things that happened last year. And it wasn’t anything good that happened.

“You know it’s not going to be like that.” Yvette had crouched down beside me and was whispering to me. I had told her about what happened and why I didn’t want to celebrate. But again I hadn’t told her when my birthday was. I mouthed ‘thank you’ to her and looked up at the others smiling. Perrie and Zayn were holding hands and looking adorable. Niall and Harry sat at either side of me, keeping a close eye on me so I don’t run away. Liam sat across the table and Yvette now sat down next to Niall. Louis walked out into the kitchen and grabbed some juice before walking over and standing behind me. I looked around and the guys and they all smiled at me.

“Alrighty then! Let’s go!” They all stood up and I realized I was still in my PJ.

“Ehm, guys?” They all turned to look at me. “I have to put on some clothes.” I motioned to my body and they all laughed.

“I’ll take her. Yvette, you coming?” Yvette was staring at Niall so when they all turned to her she blushed and hurried to my room. I laughed as Niall blushed too. Perrie and I walked after her. Perrie pushed my down on my bed. “We will choose clothes!” She laughed at my face, I was very skeptic to other people dressing me. They all seemed to pick out clothes that made me feel fatter.

“Should we go hot or cute?” Yvette asked Perrie. Perrie turned around and looked at me. She thought about it for a few seconds before turning back to Yvette.

“Both.” Oh great, I was dressing up as a hot, cute version of myself today.
