Ashton
You're 16
Your POV

He promised, he promised he'd be here. It was my sixteenth birthday and I hoped my brother would be here, keeping his promises. But by now it was the end of the day and he didn't turn up.

He didn't even phone to me to wish me happy birthday, I heard nothing from him. How could he forget? How could he forget his own sister? Ever since he left for tour it drove us further apart.

He was meant to be home for a break for a month, my birthday being during that. But I waited and waited and he didn't show up, not for my birthday anyway.

A few days later he arrived, I didn't want to see him or really talk to him. He hurt me, how could my own brother do that? Forget his own sisters birthday? Make promises and break them?

"Hey (Y/N)!" He smiled, when he saw me on the sofa. I rolled my eyes, ignoring him. "What's wrong?" He asked confused. How could he be so clueless?!

"What was it a few days ago? What did you forget?" I asked, shooting him a glare.

"Oh my god, I forgot your birthday." He said, he looked almost sad. "I'm sorry."

"I don't want to hear it Ash. You promised you'd be here and you weren't. You're never here." I sighed before leaving him and walking out to my room.

Calum
You're 8

You woke up in the morning excited, it was your birthday. You smiled happily as you ran into your parents room, letting them give you a birthday hug.

As everybody woke, your mum cooked birthday breakfast. Mali came downstairs before Calum, giving you a kiss and cuddle wishing you happy birthday telling you she had a present for you later.

But when Calum came down, he said nothing. He left the house, it made you wonder. Did he forget? He was gone the whole day, no word from him. You had the most wonderful day but you were sad he forgot.

He came home later that night, when you were asleep in bed and saw the birthday cake and opened presents on the table. Realisation hit him, he realised he forgot and he felt guilty, he couldn't believe how he could do this to you.

Michael
You're 17
Your POV

I was sick of always being second best in my brothers life, he made no effort to care anymore. Not since he's been touring anyway.

I thought that maybe, just maybe he'd be here for my birthday like he said he would. We always spend one another's birthday together no matter what. It's what we've grown up doing, but no.

He had been home, he was actually in the same country as me right now but down the road at a band rehearsal, which made me beyond pissed.

I spent the day with my friends and the night, going to a late night party celebrating my birthday. It was just 2am when I arrived home and was a little drunk and there Michael sat on the sofa, jumping up when he saw me.

"Where were you?" He said annoyed.

"At a party." I hiccuped.

"This late?! Seriously what's got into you?" He asked in disbelief.

"I was celebrating!" I said a little slurred. By this point I couldn't quite remember who i was talking too, the alcohol still messing with my head. "It was my birthday but Michael forgot."

Luke
You're 13

Today was your birthday, you were having a small birthday party with close friends and family, Luke was meant to come and see you for it too.

As the day went on there was still no sign from Luke or even a call. Did he forget? You hoped not. He promised he'd be here.

It got later, eventually everyone went home. Luke never shown up, it broke your heart. That night you laid with your mum and cried. You were tired of it, it felt like he never kept promises.

"Whys she crying?" You heard a confused, but familiar voice ask from the door way.

"Oh Luke, don't be so stupid." Your mum scolds. "Look around, what do you see?"

Luke looked around, taking in the decorations, cards and presents spread around the room. "Fuck (Y/N), I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to forget."

"Whatever Luke, leave me alone." You sniffled.
