Nineteen.

Zara sighs as she walks outside, laughing when she sees Ryder in very skinny jeans and a half buttoned shirt with a tattoo drawn on his chest.

"I would have got a wig but I didn't wanna look too ridiculous." Ryder laughs as Zara raises her eyebrows. It was her birthday, and she totally forgot.

"Why are you here, Ryder?"

"It's your birthday!"

"And? Why are you dressed like Matty Healy?" Ryder reaches into his shirt pocket and hold out a folded piece of paper, winking as he hands it to her.

"Open it." Zara rolls her eyes, opening the paper and gasping. On the paper was tickets for a concert. For the 1975.

"Ryder oh my god!" Zara screams and wraps her arms around his neck, jumping onto him and kissing his cheek.

"What is this?"

"You wanted to see them, so I called in a few favors and here we are." Zara pulls back and stares at him, her fingers buried in Ryder's hair.

"Kiss!" Zander and Jake, her brother, scream from the car, Lennox smacking them both on the head. Ryder and Zara roll their eyes and let go of each other, Zara smiling at the tickets in her hand.

"Thank you so much, Ryder. This is the best day ever." Lennox and the two boys get out of the car, the gifts in their hands as they walk towards them. Zara smiles when she sees them, hugging Lennox and Zander, and just ruffling Jakes hair.

Lennox and Zander hand Zara boxes with smiles on their faces, Zara shaking her head and smiling.

"So you just gonna bring me a birthday gift on my birthday to my birthday party on my birthday with a birthday gift?"

"Are you kidding me? You memorized it?" Ryder laughs, Zara nodding and opening the first box. Inside was a lot of tissue paper and a shirt folded nicely. Zara unfolds it and squeals when she sees the shirt, hugging it to her chest. Zander points to the other box in her hand, signaling for her to open it.

Inside the box was the other shirt she wanted, making Zara smile bigger and hug them both.

"Thank you so much guys. This means so much."

"Anything for Ryder's wife!" They say and Ryder blushes, Zara rolling her eyes.

"So what did you get me?" She looks at her brother who shrugs.

"I got you the presence of me. The best gift of all."

"I'm gonna put you back up for adoption."
