Liani

So. Its today, my birthday and I have absolutely no plans for it. Well Netflix and ice cream looks like the best idea then

I decide to check my phone and I see the time and realise the boys are probably busy or sleeping so I shouldn't bother them. I get up out of bed and just as I do that I hear my mum call my name

My mum has been here since yesterday and she's only staying a few days, she said she wanted to be here for my birthday

"Liani can you come downstairs?!" she shouts up to me

"mum, give me a second!" I shout back to her

I open my door and turn to my left to where the stairs are. I'm absolutely shattered, I shouldn't be on my phone so late. I kept my eyes on the stairs to make sure I wouldn't trip

"mum what-" I start to say as I look at my mum but I get a feeling the front door is open so I look foward and I thought I was dreaming

No way this can be real, is that Daniel? Like my best friend? Like Daniel Seavey? My mood brightened up and I jumped into his arms without even thinking

Romantic you maybe be thinking but no, I'm just so glad I've finally got to meet the boy who've I've only be able to see through a screen

"Daniel!" I shout in happiness

"Liani!" he says mocking me

"am I dreaming" I say and I hug him tighter as I started crying

"hopefully not" he laughs and lets me down

"so it would be much more complicated for all of the boys to come to visit you right now as we are still on tour but I couldn't bare the fact of missing another one of your birthday's" he smiles

"I love you" I just say and hug him again

"i love you too" he says and hugs me back

Long distance friendships are amazing, meeting a really sweet person that actually cares about you and comforts you when you need them. The only thing that really sucks is distance. They can live seven hours away from you or they can live in a whole different country and the chances of meeting them can be slim. But meeting them is one of the best feelings ever, to see them in real life. Because I've always thought when will we meet, soon or never.

Daniel has been a part of my life that I haven't ever been able to properly thank for all the times he's been there for me and he's truly one of the most important people in my life and I'd be gutted without him

"so how in hell did you manage to get here I thought you are tour?" I ask him confused but I couldn't stop smiling

"our next show isn't until two more days so I thought I should finally meet you" he smiles

"I'm guessing they had to keep it a secret from me" I laugh

"yeah, also when I asked you when is your birthday that's because I wanted to triple make sure I had the right day" he smiles

"aww I need to take a photo" I hear my mum say sounding like she is crying and when I saw her she was. I kinda forgot she was here

"Mum-" I sigh with a laugh

"just one" she smiles

Daniel and I look at each other and make a funny face for the photo

"I'll need it for facebook" she smiles and walks away looking at the photo

"anyway" I laugh confused at my mums behaviour

"oh!" I say remembering something

"that you're still in your pajamas" Daniel says laughing at me
