I was turning fourteen. It was actually a big surprise to me because I remembered my thirteenth birthday! One Direction had come. It was weird. I hadn't fangirl over them in a long time. One Direction music was just on shuffle sometimes and I took down all the posters. People grow up. I mean, I didn't hate them! No. I knew about Louis and his baby stuff and I knew about Zayn and his solo stuff. I still talked to them sometimes through DMs. Weird how people change in a short period of time.

This year, I decided I wanted to have my birthday in LA. I didn't want a huge party either. I just wanted to hang out at the mall or something. So that's what I was planning to do.

I also wanted to sleep in but we all know how Mel is. "Sara! Get up! You finally turned fourteen!" She shouted, jumping on top of me. I groaned and shoved her on the floor.

"Mel!" I groaned, covering my head with my pillow.

"Come on, birthday girl! Get up!" She shouted, hitting me with another pillow.

"I will stab you in your sleep." I threatened, my voice muffled by my bed. She laughed and shook her head.

"No you won't. You love me. Let's go!" She said. I groaned and sat up. I knew I looked like a troll but I was honestly done getting abused by my friend.

"You're mean." I whined. She giggled and threw clothes at me that I allowed to just hit me in the face. After a moment of looking mad, I burst into a fit of giggles.

"Get dressed! Your mom is making breakfast and then we're waiting on people then you, me and whoever else goes wherever you want." Mel explained.

"Well thank you so much for planning my whole day. I'm glad I can trust you to make right choices and-"

"Oh, and by the way, at three fifteen, I have planned for you and James to make out while everyone cheers you on." I glared at her as she smirked slyly.

"Well, um, no. That's not happening." We laughed and I got dressed in light blue jeans, a gray shirt and black converse. I thought I looked nice. I brushed my hair and Mel dragged me downstairs. "Morning!" I grinned, sitting down at the table.

"Morning." Mom smiled, setting a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of me.

"Oh! Thanks!" I grinned, grabbing the syrup.

"You're getting so old." Mom chuckled, kissing my head. I smiled and took a bite of the pancakes. Mel was eating hers when I heard a knock on the door. Mel wasted no time to grab my wrist and drag me with her mid bite. I threw the fork back on my plate and tried chewing my food. She opened the door and showed James standing there. I instantly felt embarrassed at my full mouth. James smiled when he realized what I was doing.

"Well....happy birthday, Sara. I see you're a little hungry." He said. I swallowed and giggled.

"I just woke up. I'm hungry. Sue me!" I smiled. James smiled and we let him in. We walked into the kitchen and he sat at the table. "Hungry?" He smiled and shook his head.

"Not right now." He told me, a smile on his face. I nodded and sat back down to eat. I finished and Mel dragged me into the living room.

"Now, we just wait for everyone." She said. I nodded and sat on the couch. James sat by me and Mel sat on the recliner. I laid on James' shoulder and got out my phone. Seeing DMs from the 1D boys. I chuckled and sent them thank yous.

Soon, dad walked in with JJ in his arms and Jared waltzing in behind him with Thomas and Shep following. Gen then came in afterwards followed by Misha, Maison, Vicky and West. "Happy birthday, Sara!" All the kids came running to me and I laughed as I was engulfed in all their arms. I noticed James stand up and I knew exactly why. The kids began making their way away and then I screamed as Misha, Jared and dad all tackled me in hugs. The kids jumping on top of them and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I was struggling to breathe but I was happy I was being loved.

"Guys!" I croaked.

"Oh, sorry." They all said, getting off me. I caught my breath and glared at them.

"I'll get you back for this." I said, shaking my head, a smile on my face. They were all laughing and I looked at Mel. "So, now what?" I smiled.

"Just chill." She laughed. So, I did. We just chilled. I was laughing with the family I had grown up with and my friends. Somehow, we got on the subject of the movie I was going to be in.

"No. I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait." I laughed.

"No, please. Just tell me! Do you live or die?" Jared continued.

"No. Stop." I laughed. He pouted and I shook my head. "Im sorry but no." Then he looked at my dad.

"She is the only one that lives." He caved.

"Dad!"

"Sorry. He was giving me the look." Dad said, hands up in defense. I shook my head and shrugged.

"It's okay." I spoke.

"So, what do you want to do now? You wanna go somewhere?" Mel asked.

"Well, I wanted to go to the mall." I shrugged.

"Cool. Want to go now?"

"Sure." I smiled. "Who wants to take me though. All the guys were clambering one another to get to me and I shook my head. "Mom, you want to take us?" She smiled and nodded.

"Sure, honey." She grabbed her car keys and I grabbed James hand, guiding him past the man pile on the floor.

"Bye guys." I called as I shut the house door. I smiled when I heard multiple 'byes' and walked to the car. We turned on the radio and began dancing and singing along to it. I was in a really really good mood. Not only because it was my birthday, but also because I was finally getting to just hang out. Christmas was in four days, I was happy for everything. However, it wasn't as cold as I'd like. I liked Winter. Winter was great. Not freezing cold, but cool.

"Sara! We could totally get some Walking Dead merch from Hot Topic!" Mel squealed. I laughed and shook my head.

"I mostly want some more beanies and a flower crown. Remember when I wore Isabels!" Isabel was a friend of mine from when I went to school in LA, before I played in Supernatural. I saw her recently because she had a sleepover.

"I do. You looked adorable!" Mel laughed.

"Nah." I giggled.

"I'll show James and see what he thinks." She said.

"You took a picture?" I gasped. She nodded and got out her phone. James was sitting in the front seat with mom and Mel and I were in the back. So, I tackled her, trying to grab the phone out of her hands. "Mel! Give me the phone!" I shouted, trying to grab the phone. She laughed and held it right out of reach.

"Never!" She shouted. "James!" He turned around and she threw the phone to him. I tried moving to get it but James caught it. He looked at it and smiled.

"Why so worried about it. You're just even more adorable." He told me. I blushed and groaned.

"I'm not adorable. I'm a scary monster. See. Roar." I smiled and Mel and James glared at me.

"Awe. Look at the cute little kitty." James grinned.

"I'm not a kitty. I'm a ferocious tiger. Roar." I knew my 'roar' wasn't very scary, it was more cute, making me more mad. James just grinned and shook his head.

"Sara, you are the most adorable girl ever." He said. I sighed and pouted a bit.

"Okay, whatever. Where are we?"

"Almost there!" Mom smiled.

"Yay!" I cheered. "Mall, mall, mall, mall, mall." I just began repeating 'mall' in different pitches and Mel glared at me.

"You're weird." She laughed.

"Thank you." I grinned.She laughed and looked at James.

"You're girlfriend is weird." She said. He looked at me and nodded.

"Thank you." He smiled. I blushed and looked down as we pulled into the mall parking lot.

"Ooh! New converse, here I come!" I cheered, jumping out the car once we were stopped. I grabbed James hand and skipped over to Mel. I grabbed her hand as well and smiled. "Let's go." We began walking into the mall and the first thing I saw was the food court. I decided we'd eat later and walked over to Aeropostal. Mel and I walked to two totally different ends. I walked over to the hoodies and she walked over to the jeans. James tended to be near me. I got a hoodie and Mel got a shirt and then we went over to Claires.

"Sara! Look! You can finally get the second holes in your ear like you wanted." Mel pointed out. I looked at the ear piercing gun and bit my lip.

"It probably hurts." I said.

"You already have one hole. You did that when you were a baby, didn't you?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Well, if you did it at two months, you can do it at fourteen years." She said, pushing me down into the chair. I looked at mom and my jaw dropped.

You're actually letting me?" I gasped.

"You've been asking since you were twelve. I guess it's time. You aren't getting gauges though." I shook my head.

"I don't want those. I just want normal sized earrings." I laughed. She nodded and a lady came over to me.

"You want a second piercing in your ear?" She asked. I nodded and she smiled. "Okay, first, choose the pair of earrings you want while I go get everything." I nodded again and she handed me a pack of different small earrings before walking away again.

"Ooh! Get the red ones!" Mel said, pointing to a pair of small ruby red earrings. I shrugged and looked at them all.

"What do you think?" I asked James. He looked at them all then looked at me.

"Hm...I don't know. You look good no matter what." He said.

"You're so cheesy." I grinned. "I think I'm going to go with my birthstone. I am getting this on my birthday after all." Mom nodded.

"That's a nice idea. The turquoise would look nice." I nodded and exhaled slowly.

"I'm actually really nervous." I said.

"Are you going to cry?" Mel asked.

"I hope not." I laughed.

"You should." She got out her phone and I knew what she was doing.

"Mel...why are you recording me?" I asked.

"So, I can have this memory forever." She smiled.

"Are you going to post it?" I questioned. She made a face and shook her head.

"What? No. Of course not." She said. I shook my head, knowing she was lying. "You scared?"

"I'm scared it'll hurt and I'll cry. Because I don't want to cry for your amusement." I smirked, shaking my head.

"You cry for other peoples amusement." Mel spoke.

"It's not for amusement. I definitely wouldn't be amused to see Deans daughter crying. It probably makes people feel feels and feels are mean." I said. "I feel like crying when I rewatch episodes! Because when I play Amy, it's like...different. I don't know." I laughed and looked down.

"You're weird." She laughed.

"I know." I nodded. James walked over to me and held my hand when he saw that the lady was coming back. I smiled at him and he stroked his thumb over the top of my hand.

"Did you decide what earrings you wanted?" She asked. I nodded and showed her the box.

"These December birthstone ones, please." I smiled. She nodded and got them out of the box and put one in the piercing gun thing. She put it on a table and grabbed a marker.

"I'm going to draw a dot on your ear and you're going to tell me if it's equal and where you want it." She said. I nodded and she drew a dot on my ear. I looked in the mirror and nodded.

"I think it's good." I said.

"Okay, you ready?" She asked.

"Uh, no, give me a minute. I'm sorry." I smiled shyly. She laughed and nodded.

"It's okay." I was nervous. I took a few deep breaths and looked at James.

"Keep holding my hand?" I asked. He smiled and nodded.

"Sure." I smiled and looked at the lady.

"Okay. Okay, I'm ready." She nodded and grabbed the gun.

"It's only going to burn for a minute. Just like a pinch." She told me. I nodded and squeezed my eyes shut and squeezed James hand. "Stay as still as possible." She said. I heard the gun go off and I flinched a little.

"Oh." I laughed, opening my eyes. "The sound scared me more than it actually hurts." Mom smiled and Mel rolled her eyes.

"Cry already." She said. I shook my head and looked at James.

"I didn't break your hand, did I?" I asked. He laughed and shook his head.

"Nope. All bones in tact." I giggled and the lady went to the other side.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Ready!" I nodded. She positioned the gun and punched the earring in. I opened my eyes and smiled. "I did it!" I cheered. James laughed and nodded.

"You did it!" I hugged him and he laughed, hugging me back. I turned to look in the mirror and grinned. The blue earrings looked nice with my eye color. However, I was also really red. I shook my head and smiled. I was always a little red.

"I love it. Thank you." I told the lady. She chuckled and nodded.

"You're very welcome." She smiled. I nodded and looked at mom.

"Now, can I look around?" I asked.

"Of course, birthday girl." She said. I grinned and, never letting go of James hand, walked toward the beanies. I grabbed a gray one and put it on.

"How do I look?" I asked, posing. James laughed and nodded.

"Perfect." He grinned. I smiled and took it off. I looked down and he grabbed my chin softly to look up at him. I looked at his blue eyes and smiled.

"Yes?" I asked, smiling. He shook his head and smiled.

"Nothing, you're just really beautiful." He smiled. I blushed and looked away.

"You're practically made of cheese." I laughed. He shrugged and looked down.

"I know." He laughed. I lifted his head from his chin, similar to how he did mine and made him look at me.

"Hey." I spoke softly.

"Yes?" He asked, mimicking me. I smiled and just stared at him before shoving the beanie I had in my hands over his head. I giggled as he shook his head. "You're very playful today." He laughed. I shrugged.

"I'm always playful, you goob." I smiled. He lifted the beanie off his eyes and I stopped him before he took it fully off. "You look really nice in that. It brings out your eyes." He looked in the mirror on the wall and posed, making me giggle.

"You really think so?" He asked. I laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, plus, you don't have the emo hair." He glared at me and I giggled.

"I thought you liked my hair." He pouted.

"I do. But, I also think you look really cute wearing the beanie like that." I smiled. He grinned and nodded.

"Well, I live to make you happy." He said.

"That sounds weird." I laughed. He smiled and took the beanie off.

"I'm going to buy it." He said. I smiled and nodded.

"Yay!" I cheered. He laughed and I looked for a beanie for myself. I grabbed two I thought I looked nice in then got a few flower crowns. Once I bought everything, we walked into another store.

Throughout the day, I bought a ton of clothes, more converse, some other things. James even bought me a little teddy bear. I loved it. It was so cute and soft and adorable. Mel just smiled and shook her head. She loved James' and I's relationship except she pretended to be disgusted by it. Before we left for the day, we decided to eat some Chipotle from the food court. "When we get home, is Jared and Misha and the kids still going to be there?" I asked.

"I don't know." My mom shrugged. I nodded and looked at Mel.

"Did you have fun?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yeah, I did." She smiled.

"That's good." I nodded. "Thanks for coming, you guys."

"No problem. You're my best friend." Mel grinned.

"And you're my girl friend." James said. He had this look on his face that said 'and I love you' but knew how I felt and didn't say it. I smiled and nodded.

"Awe, I love you guys." I smiled. I was sitting in the middle of them and hugged them both. Mel groaned but James accepted my weirdness. Mel was just joking and I shook my head. "Accept it, Melly. This is your fate." She laughed and shook her head.

We finished eating and went home. I was half asleep. I had a good day. Mel was sitting in the front this time and James was in back with me. I hugged the bear James got me to my chest and laid on his shoulder. However, when we got to the house, I saw more cars than there was when we left. I looked at my mom through the rear view mirror and she looked at me, a smile on her face. We parked and when I walked inside, a ton of people shouted 'surprise'. Dad was still here with Misha, Jared, Vicky, Gen and the kids, but a ton of other people were here. Ruth, Osric, Felecia, Mark, Rich, Rob, even Jefferey! He was supposed to be in the Walking Dead soon. Some of my friends I had from school were there too. "Oh my God! Guys!" I laughed. "I said no party!" Dad shrugged.

"My baby girl deserves a party." He smiled, kissing my head.

"Dad." I groaned, smiling. He chuckled and shook his head. So, now I had an actual party. That's what we did the rest of the night. I ended up falling asleep on the couch, laying my head on James' shoulder and resting my legs on Osric.
