Well, guys, I tried to bring myself to end this story, but then I glanced at how many reads I have... and I just couldn't. So sorry I haven't updated in forever, but... I love you guys? :( Thanks so much for reading. Xx

It's been a few months since Niall and I began 'dating', and my birthday was coming up. I'm more curious as to how it's going to go than excited, because I've never celebrated a birthday before and I don't think the boys even know when my birthday is. I mean... I've never told them, so how could they know, right? Right. I'm right, aren't I? Of course i am.

Anyway, we're all sitting in the main room of the bus right now, (ridiculously long tour, I know), watching Liam and Zayn play some kind of video game on the TeleVision... I'm not all too sure what it is, but it's very... violent, which is an understatement.

The boys managed to get their management to allow Eleanor to visit for a while on the tour, so her and Lou were sitting on one of the couches in the corner of the room. They were fighting over something stupid a moment ago, but it looks like they're over it now - they're cuddled together on the couch, laughing at the screen where Zayn is losing horribly to Liam on the video game.

Niall and I are sitting on the other couch, also watching the game. He was sitting on one side of the couch, while i had my head in his lap and my feet dangling off the edge. I'm a master at making uncomfortable positions comfortable. It comes from spending your whole life either in a closet or an uncomfortable school desk every day.

The video was getting too violent for me to watch with interest anymore, so i turned away from the game and looked up at Niall instead. He wasn't completely focused in the game, like I'd thought he'd been, but he was completely focused on me. He smiled when I looked up at him; I gave a small smile in return.

Suddenly, Zayn gave a loud shout from in front of the TeleVision. "No fair! You cheat!"

Liam grinned at him. "I don't cheat."

Zayn crossed his arms. "Well, you did just now."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, I did."

Liam laughed. 'You realize you just said that you cheated, right?"

"Do either of you realize how childish you're being?" Eleanor asked, annoyed.

Liam scowled. "I'm not childish; I'm very mature.' He said, crossing his arms; Zayn reciprocated the action.

Eleanor just rolled her eyes; I held in a small giggle.

Liam and Zayn finally got over their small, irrelevant argument and Louis began to play with Liam. After a while of this, Niall finally cracked, which I had known would happen sooner or later. I'd guessed sooner, and I was obviously right.

"I'm starving." He groaned, before giving Eleanor a pointed look.

She raised her hands in self defense. "Why are you looking at me?!"

"Because you're the girl here!"

"Oh, so Cassie isn't a girl anymore?"

Niall rolled his eyes. "Cassie doesn't know how to cook."

Eleanor narrowed her eyes at me. I just shrugged, lifting my head off of Niall's lap and cuddling against his side.

"Maybe you should teach her to cook, Eleanor." Lou suggested, eyes never leaving the TeleVision screen.

She sighed, but got up, motioning toward me to get up, too.

I started to get up, but Niall stopped me, pulling me back on the couch. He glared at Louis. "Cassie can't do anything today."

Eleanor rolled her eyes. "Cassie, come on."

I was staring at Niall curiously, and just ignored her. "Why not?"

He looked over at Louis nervously; Lou nodded, intervening with, "Because I said so."

I sighed. "That's not an answer, Louis."

"Wait," Eleanor began. "You're the one who just told me to teach Cassie how to cook, and now you're saying that she can't do anything today?"

Lou shrugged. "I forgot?"

Eleanor rolled her eyes, turned on her heel and went into the kitchen. I didn't question Louis or Niall again.

Half an hour and a hundred undefinable sweet fragrances later, Eleanor finally came out of the kitchen, holding a huge cake and grinning. I raised my eyebrows. "I thought they wanted dinner, not dessert?"

She rolled her eyes, before placing the cake on the middle of the table in front of the couch, where everyone could see it. Louis and Liam had finished their game long ago and had been holding a boring conversation about sports or the other with Niall and Zayn. I had almost dozed off when she'd come in.

Sleepily, I peered at the cake. In white on blue icing, my two favorite colors, it said Happy Birthday, Cassie!

To be honest, I'm still completely shocked by it. I didn't think anyone knew when my birthday was...

Confused, I stared at Eleanor. "How did you know it's my birthday?'

She rolled her eyes. "You think Louis doesn't know when his own sister's birthday is."

Louis shrugged when I looked at him. "I may or may not have taken a look at your birth certificate." He was grinning evilly.

Sorry it's not much, but... We've been getting ready for a baby shower all morning, and it's about to start... Wish me luck, my fourth cousin is the worst kind of a Directionator .

Love you, bye! Xx

Btw, I know a couple of my friends are reading this and like it, but I really have no incentive to continue this story. It's hard to write it and I don't see the point in wasting my time, so... Yeah, if anyone actually reads this, it'd be awesome if you told me. Xx
