I am awakened by the creaking of the door because someone is opening it. I turned my head towards this latter and saw my mother still in her pajamas, approaching my side of the bed because Louis is still asleep next to me. "Merry Christmas hun." She said with a fond smile, lightly brushing her fingers through my jet black hair. "Thanks. Merry Christmas to you too mommy" I answered with my sleepy morning voice. "Can you wake Louis up ? And I'll do the same with Wali and Doniya, Ed, Niall and Safaa are already awake." She asked me. "Sure" I answered before she left my bedroom.

I'm right now in the dark with a little bit of sun coming from the half closed curtains. I'm still under my warm cover with a deeply asleep Louis beside me. He's letting little cat snores.

I turned my head in the direction of the bedside table where was standing my old alarm clock. I saw that it was only 8:39am but it did not surprise me that much, my mom always woke us early on Christmas Day because she prepares a huge and very plentiful but mostly delicious breakfast .

"Louis ?" I whispered near his ear. "Mpffrrgg" His sounds muffled by the pillow in which he has his face. " Louis, wake up." I said as he rolled on his back. "No, I don't want to. Please five more minutes Haz'." I froze and Louis directly opened his eyes and looked at me with shocked eyes. "I-i'm so sorry Zayn, I thought i-it was him." He stuttered. "Shh Lou, don't worry about that. It's okay." I said with a sweet voice.

A slight silence settled between us but Louis broke it. "I miss him so much." And at this moment I realized that he was crying. "I know. Here, come on."

I lay down next to him again, I opened my arms to him and he came to snuggle up in them. I do not see anything misplaced, it's just a gesture of support and I don't count every time I called him in tears at late at night and he never hesitated a second to come and see me. "It'll get better, Lou." I said caressing his hair and he nodded. "Come on dry your tears. He have to head downstairs for the breakfast." "Okay."

I got up from the bed followed by Louis and before I had time to reach the door he grabbed my wrist so I turned around to face him.

"Thank you." He said. "For what ?" I smiled. " For everything, since I met you, you're so amazing with me." He answered me with a low voice. "Friends are made for it." And with that we headed toward the the living room.

"So now that everyone is at the table we can start the breakfast and afterwards we open the presents." My mum said. "Yes, finally" All eyes were on Niall who just squealed like a twelve-years-old lassie seeing her crush. "Anyway, can we eat right now ?" Louis asked after rolling his eyes at Niall. "Sure" My mom said with fond smile.

The breakfast went very well.

"Well everyone sat in front of the tree please." My mom said claping her hands. 'Ma' I remind you that among the people present some are not your children and are more than twenty years old." I said to her. "Hush young boy" She hissed. "But-"

"No, but. Sit down, and faster than that!"

On this I leave to sit between Louis and Niall who were making fun of me. "We don't listen to our mom Zaynie" Niall said still laughing. "Oh shut up" I said with a pout.

"Shall we give the gift right now ?" Louis said. "Sure." My mom and Louis got up to get the cage with cat and put it in front of Ed. "Merry Christmas mate." He smile at him. "Seriously this thing is for me ?" Ed said with surprised in his voice. "Of course. Come on open it!" No more noises were heard and everyone was looking at Ed. He opened the cage and a small ball of white hair jumps on him. "Did you really buy me a freaking cat. Buddy it's one of the best Christmas I've ever get. Thank you so much Louis." Ed said with so much happiness in his voice. "I've heard that you love cats but that you were stressed at the idea of buying one so I thought why not." Louis smile at him. "Thanks again." "Don't mention it, I really like making people happy." Louis answered him. "Well, it's a success, I assure you."

I think everybody loves Louis. He offered an appointment at the hairdresser to Waliyah because she really wants to do a lavender highlighting, a day in an amusement park to Safaa with four friends of her, a gift card worth £300 from Sephora to Doniya, a subscription to a spa to my mother, a cat to Ed, golf clubs in Niall and he bought me new brushes and paint. "Lou ?" I said. " Yeah, what is it mate?" "How do you know which gift you should buy for every single one of us ?" I asked him. "I have my sources" He winked at me. "You will not tell me anything, right ?" "Little Zaynie is insightful." I laugh. "You said little." He sticked his tongue out at me.

"Who wants to make a snowman? It snowed last night." Niall asked and everybody agreed.

The realization of this snowman quickly degenerated when Niall threw a snowball on Louis and that this triggered a snowballs battle. But we had fun.

When we headed home, my mother told us to go take a shower to avoid getting sick while she prepared eggnog and hot chocolate.

When I got out of the bathroom I took my phone that I had left in my room since this morning. I saw that a lot of messages but what attract my attention are the four from Liam. I immediately opened our conversation, close to reply to him...
