Harper.

It was stress galore the morning of Sienna's party, the cake I'd baked didn't turn out the way I wanted it to so I had to cover it in icing sugar so it at least looked appetising, I wasn't sure if I had bought enough food and drinks for everyone who was coming, I was buying on a budget and I couldn't just spend how I wish I could.

Sienna was running around crazy and wouldn't get into her brand new dress, I spilt something down my outfit so I had to change within ten minutes, and I lost the charger to my camera which was on one bar of charge.

But once everyone arrived and Sienna was able to open presents, the stress was quickly forgotten about. Everyone was able to have a plate of party food each, and drink what they wanted. I had nothing to stress about really, but I'm a mum, we're supposed to stress.

"Well done for putting this together," My mum smiled. "You should have called me to help."

I shake my head. "It's all gone well, Sienna's happy." I laugh watching as she rocks on her new horse rocker my uncle bought her.

"I'm very proud of you," My mum wipes a tear from her eye. "You were 17 when you became pregnant, you were this scared, naive teenager. But now.." She smiles tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "You're this 19 nearly 20 year old woman, and I'm so proud."

"I've learnt from the best."

She hugs me and we both laugh at how emotional we both are.

"Would you mind having her tomorrow night?" I ask timidly.

"Yes of course, you're going out?"

"Uh well it's Harry's birthday.. he's invited me to his party.."

"Then of course I'll have her, go enjoy yourself." She nudges my hip.

"Thank you, I'll go prepare her cake."

Heading into the kitchen I take the foil off Sienna's cake and begin to decorate it with candles.

"You got a text," Saffron smirks placing my phone beside me.

"Thanks," I didn't really care at this moment in time, I also had my texts on private so you can only see the person's name.

Saffron lingers beside me. "Who's HS?"

I look up at her. "You tried to get into my phone?"

"Well, it flashed up with their name.."

I shrug. "A friend,"

"Male friend or.."

"Yes, why?"

"You have a boyfriend?" Her eyes light up.

"Friend, friend that is male."

"Oh Harper this is huge, who is he?"

I roll my eyes. My little sister is notorious for making a big deal out of nothing.

"Just a guy, who's a friend."

"Name?"

I sigh, I may as well tell her.

"Harry,"

"Posh,"

I laugh. "It's Harry Styles,"

There's a silence between us, I look up and she's stood staring at me as if I've just told her I'm the actual queen of England.

"I'm.. I'm sorry, did you just say Harry Styles?"

I nod. "I did,"

"Are you serious?"

"..Yes,"

"Oh my god, Harper what's he like? Is he big?" She smirks.

"I have no idea!" I gasp. "We have been on one innocent date!"

"Hmm, well when you do.. I want details,"

"Go round everyone up, you're filth."

She laughs skipping into the living-room and telling everyone to gather round for the cake.

Before lighting the candles I check my phone.

How's the party? .x

Going great! Cake time! I can come to your party by the way so see you at 4 x

Glad to hear it.. and cool yeah see you at 4 x

I smile and light the candles. "Alright everybody! Let's sing happy birthday!" I call walking in slowly.
