Louis POV

"Lou-Lou!" Harry called, coming into the bedroom and wrapping his arms around my waist. He kissed my cheek before spinning me around to face him. "Morning love. And happy birthday."

"Thanks Haz." he walked me out to the kitchen where he had breakfast waiting. He pulled out the chair for me and I sat down and he handed me a plate.

"So we have plans this afternoon. Me, you, and the lads. Celebrating your birthday." I rolled my eyes.

"Why do we have to celebrate? I'm turning 24, what's to celebrate about that?" he chuckled as he took another bite of food.

"Come on Lou. Just think of it as an outing with the boys. Liam is bringing cake and Niall has a gift from them, but after that we won't mention your birthday okay?" I sighed, but I nodded nonetheless. "Good! Now let's eat and go get ready!"

Right after lunch, Harry and I got ready to head out. He took my hand and helped me get in the car and then got in himself. We began the short drive to the club.

After the short drive, about 15 minutes, we arrived. We got out and headed into the club, me following shortly behind Harry, hand-in-hand. The lads waved us over and we joined them in the booth.

"Louis!" Liam yelled and I smiled, giving him a handshake. I did the same to Niall and Stan, who was my childhood best friend.

"Thanks for coming guys." Harry said as we both sat down and joined them. Niall ordered some shots for all of us, except for Harry as he was the one bringing us home and he didn't mind not drinking, so they got him a club soda.

"Harry told us that you didn't want to celebrate your birthday, but I mean come on, we weren't just going to ignore it, so we got you a cake and a gift from all of us." Stan said, sliding the cake over and placing the box in the center of the table. I cut the cake and handed everyone a slice. We all began to dig in.

"Damn this cake is so good. Where is it from?" I said and the boys smiled.

"Where do you think it's from?" Stan said and I looked at Harry who was just smirking.

"You made this?" I asked Harry.

"Of course I did! I don't work in a bakery to not make you a cake on your birthday. I had Barbara hold it for me in the fridge and had them pick it up this morning." He said.

"Thank you!" He nodded and kissed me, while the other boys made kissing noises. So I flipped them off before pulling away from the kiss.

"Don't be so childish." I told them and we all laughed. We went through the rest of the afternoon getting drunk, besides Harry, and basically just doing what you typically would in a club. Eventually, Stan left, along with Niall and Liam, so it was just me and Haz left.

Harry POV

"Hazza I wanna go home and sleep." Louis said and I just laughed as he always gets like this when he is drunk. His emotions play with him and they switch very fast.

"Alright come on let's go." I said, but Louis didn't move. He started tearing up and I rushed to his side.

"What's wrong Lou?" I said pulling him close to me.

"But I don't want to leave." He said and I tried to hold back my laugh. "It's not funny Hazza!" He shouted.

"No come on Lou. We can pick up some dinner and then head home. Come on." I started dragging him to the car. I placed him in the car and buckled his seat belt, before getting in myself.

I carefully pulled out of the parking lot as Louis started falling asleep against the glass window. I start heading down town towards our favorite take-out restaurant. There was quite a bit of traffic, so I decided to take the scenic route, which involved the highway.

It was going well until there were about 3 cars that flew by us. I got into the high speed lane to pass the guy in front of me and that guy began to speed up, so I could no longer pass him. I got back behind him and more cars sped past us, going at least 90.

It was only moments later when our car was hit on Louis' side, taking the brunt of the force. Our car had flipped once and I could see Louis hit his head on the window, breaking the glass. Eventually we ended up landing in the ditch on the side of the highway and our car finally stopped moving.
