Luna’s POV

I never liked my birthday. Everything always seems to go wrong (just like today). That’s one of the reasons I didn’t tell anyone about my birthday. I mean, they never asked either so….

I don’t want to see Niall. I don’t want to talk about last night or this morning. I don’t know if he’s mad at me or if he wants to break or any of that.

The cab stopped and I look outside. We’re already at the hotel which means I have to go talk to the boys.

“Thank you!” I say as I leave the cab and walk inside the door. Maybe I’ll just go to Harry’s room and see what he has to say about all of this.

TO HARRY: just got to the hotel, coming to your room to talk

I exit the elevator and knock on Harry’s door.

FROM HARRY: ok all the guys are here too

I sigh. Of course all the guys are here when I just wanted to talk to Harry.

Louis opens the door, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” he gives me a big hug. I force a smile that doesn’t meet my eyes, but is hopefully convincing enough.

“Thanks guys”, I manage to say. We’re all sitting around Harry’s room now not really saying much to each other. Just sitting there staring at the TV. We’re making awkward small talk, but it’s stupid and pointless.

“Luna can we, um, can we talk?”, Niall says looking down.

“Sure, let’s go back to our room.” I can feel my face turning bright red, “I’ll see you guys later.”

“Wait, Luna!” Harry says to me. He stands up and runs over to me, “If anything happens, you can always come back here. I love you” he whispers into my ear so no one else can hear.

“Thanks Haz, love you too.” I say before turning towards the door.

Our room is right next to Harry’s so we don’t even start talking until we’re in the room. I walk in first and sit on the bed. The room looks exactly like how I left it at 6am this morning, just without the sleeping blonde in it.

“Luna,” he starts. I can’t help but start crying. I don’t know where it came from, but I must have been building these tears up all day long. I’m acting pathetic, crying like a baby in front of him. But he just wraps his arms around me and tells me it’s all going to be okay.

“Please…. Don’t break up… with me” I manage to get out between sobs.

He looks at me through his flooding eyes, “I should be saying that right now. I’d never break up with you. I’m so sorry Luna, you’re the only one I want. I need you.”

He pulled my back into his chest and we stayed like that for at least an hour.

“You know, we do need to talk about what happened babe.” I say quietly. I look up in my arms and see his gentle face. I could stay right here in his arms all day, without saying a word. But I know we need to have the talk we’re both dreading.

“I don’t wanna talk.” he whispers, “I wanna pretend like I was never an ass. I wanna stay here with you in my arms all day. I never wanna let you go.”

I sigh, “Too bad. We need to talk.”

Niall’s POV

We need to talk, I know that. I don’t want to though. Well, of course I want to talk to Luna, but just not about what I know she wants to talk about. If that makes sense.

“Fine, let’s talk.”, I sigh.

“Well, I don’t know how to start”, she says. I can’t help but smirk. She’s so adorable. “Seriously! You start because I don’t know what to say.” And with that, the smirk that was on my face is immediately faded away. We actually need to talk about it.

“I know I shouldn’t have drank that much and I’m so so so so sorry. And it’s your birthday and it’s ruined because I was a jackass.”great, now I’m crying, “I’m sorry, Luna. I love you so much. I need you in my life, please don’t leave me. I need you, Luna. I need you. And when we do the Europe part of the tour you can come meet my family and they’re gonna love you so much. But then after the tour, we can tell the world that we’re dating and we can go out on all these dates. Like, we can go to award shows together or we can just go out and get ice cream together. We can hold hands when we walk and I can kiss you outside and show you off to the world. I want everyone to know you’re mine. Please, just be mine.”

Now we’re both crying. Everything I said was 100% true. I want her to meet my family and I want them to love her. I want to take her out on dates where I can show her off because she deserves it. She deserves the best.

“C’mon. Let’s get up and do something.” she’s says as she fidgets out of my arms. She wipes under her own eyes and then under mine, “It’s still my birthday.” Luna gives me a small and innocent smile.

“Alright. Um, I’ll tell the rest of the guys?” she nods, “Where are we going?” she shrugs.

“Let’s just go to see a movie. I don’t care which one, but let’s go out.” I smile from bed as I see her brushing her hair. Her mascara is all running down her face. “Um, I should probably get changed and re-do my makeup.” she says with a little laugh.

“And I’ll text the guys.”

She nods again before coming back over to me and giving me a quick kiss before whispering, “I love you”.

That’s all I need to make my heart happy. To know that she’s happy.
