Amber's
POV:
All of Lilli's
friends and family
gathered around her to
sing the 'Happy
Birthday' song to
her. Niall and I sat on
opposite sides of her;
our backs facing away
from everyone at the
party. Liam brough out
her chocolate birthday
cake and placed it in
front of her while my
Mom stuck candles in
the frosting that
depicted Barbie. Across
the top of the cake, in
pink frosting read,
'Happy 5th
Birthday, Lillian!'
and at the bottom it
said, 'Love Mommy
and Daddy.'
"Happy birthday to
you! Happy birthday to
you!" I rested my
hand behind Lilli's
back, and so did Niall.
"Happy birthday
dear Lillian!" I
felt his fingers
intwertwine with my
own, using Lilli's
back to hide it from
everyone. "Happy
birthday to you!"
She blew out her
candles and I smiled
down at Lilli, feeling
strange about how I was
going about my
situation with her
father.
"Look
at that, Amber!"
My mom leaned across
the table to show me
her camera and I felt
Niall's grip
release my limp
fingers. "She
looks just like you
there. Especially in
her eyes." I
brought the camera
closer to my eyes to
see a crazed look play
on Lilli's face in
the photo. Liam was
setting the cake down
in front of her and she
looked like I did in
pictures from my first
birthday; she started
to get more and more
like me everyday.
Once
everyone was served ice
cream and cake I went
off to my car, hoping
Niall would follow me
there; he did. I acted
like I needed something
from my trunk, but
really just needed to
chat wtih him in
private.
"What's going
on, Love?" He
rested his hand on my
shoulder and I flinched
slightly at his
touch.
"You
can't keep doing
that, Niall. Especially
not in public like
that." He removed
his hand from me and
shoved them in his
pockets, staring at the
ground. "What if
my Mom saw, huh? We
shouldn't even be
doing this at all, you
know."
"I do
know that, okay?"
He kept his voice soft,
but it felt like he was
screaming at me;
begging for me to bring
him back into my life.
The air grew thick and
I felt like dying until
he broke the silence,
"Can you help me
bring Lill's
present over
there?"
"Yeah, sure
thing." All I did
was open and shut his
car door, then watched
him walk back to the
party. I followed close
behind, but far enough
behind to wish I was
closer. When we both
arrived back, Niall
floated over to talk
with his Mom, while I
wandered to
Isabella's side.
She was standing with
Louis and Eleanor along
with a tall, strange
man I assumed was
Eric.
"And
then he pulls out a
Sharpie and write his
number on my coffee
cup." I budded in
on what sounded like
how Isabella and Eric
met. She snuggled into
his side as his hazal
like eyes gazed down on
her; their eyes were
almost identical.
"Oh, Eric, this is
Amber."
"So
you're the girl I
hear all about?
It's nice to
finally meet you."
He seemed nice, and he
was super good looking.
He ran his fingers
through hair and I saw
Isabella bitting her
lip as she watched him.
He had her whipped and
I was so happy to see
her happy.
