Roses In Winter (1D)

Ch. 4 [Roses In Winter]

A/N:

I am going to start out with a huge apology. I am SO SORRY for making you wait so long until I updated. I have been under so much stress lately with projects and homework and concerts and things it's unbelievable.  Thank you for sticking with the story because I'm a horrible updater. I try my best to even all the dates of updating out, but it just doesn't happen like I wanted it to.

I'd also like to realize that I got her age a bit wrong. Let's pretend she's actually eighteen and don't worry about how old she was when Louis left. I also understand Louis's birthday is a bit of a weird thing, because I'm not sure when exactly to set it, before TMH tour, during TMH tour, or whether to make it his birthday from 2013..... it doesn't really affect the story that much so I'm going to say his 22nd. That might change. Sorry, I've just had a lot of conflicting thoughts about this.... xD It'll work out soon.

Enjoy the chapter!!!

Louis's POV

I yawned and rolled out of bed. The party yesterday, after I had called that mysterious girl, was great. Zayn really coaxed me to enjoy it and straighten everything else out later. I don't know what I'd do without Zayn. Or Niall, Harry, Liam, for that matter. These guys really held me together.

Rubbing my eyes and blindly searching for some clothes scattered across the room, I went into the bathroom to wash up and change. Tugging on a pair of jeans and throwing the shirt over my head, I cursed as my arms got stuck in the sleeves. Obviously this shirt was a bit too small.

Peeling my eyes open fully, I looked in the full- length mirror and noticed it was the shirt from yesterday... the one with Rose. Quickly tugging it off, I breathed heavily before throwing it into a corner of the bathroom and going back out to find a different shirt.

"Oh, hey Louis. Sorry, I was just searching for Zayn's phone." Perrie looked up from my nightstand, laughing. "The lazy arse wouldn't get up to get it this morning so I just kind of decided it would be in your flat."

I rolled my eyes. "Had a fun night?" I said cheekily. She rolled her eyes.

"God, Louis, you honestly sometimes are so immature. No in fact, I did not have a fun night. Especially when Zayn shoves you off his bed in his sleep."

I pouted. "Well, nice to see you Perrie, I'm just going to go and find a shirt that actually fits me."

Perrie turned to go, Zayn's iPhone in hand. "Maybe if you organized stuff it wouldn't be hard to find one."

I laughed as Perrie closed the door. "See you later, tell Zayn to call me!"

She called through, "Alright!" Before I heard the front door of my flat close.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before grabbing a "Doors" T-shirt and pulling it over my head. Dragging myself out to the kitchen, I sleepily tripped over a sleeping Niall and fell flat on my face.

"Niall!" I groan, getting up and kicking the prone form of Niall. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Niall rolls over in his sleep and grabs my leg. Fuck. He better not do what I think he's going to-

"OUCH! NIALL, WAKE UP, THAT'S MY LEG!" I bellow, grabbing Niall by the shoulders and separating his teeth from my leg.

Niall suddenly bolts up. "Oi, good morning Louis. What's the craic?"
