Finding My Way {A One Direction Fan Fiction}

Ch. 9

A/N - Hi guys!!!! Just writing another chappie cuz I have no life! Nah I'm just kidding, I love writing these!! I would like to add that my take on the boys' personalities is all from my head. I have no clue what they are like in real life... I may totally have this wrong. But enjoy anyways!!!

Rose's P.O.V.

Once we were downstairs, Sierra and I hugged each other then went to our own rooms. I was completely exhausted and lookin forward to my soft bed. I jumped under the covers and turned off my lamp. I was asleep in seconds.

I was at the airport. I could see my parents, 50 feet ahead of me.

"MOM!!! DAD!!! WAIT! PLEASE, NO!!" I shouted. The crowds held me back; restricting me from running forward. I tried to shove people out the way, but I couldn't. I tried running, but my legs wouldn't move fast enough. I pushed against the ground as hard as I could, but I stayed in slow motion. "NO!!!!" They boarded the plane, the gates closing behind them, trapping them in a metal coffin.

I woke up sobbing. I was drenched in sweat but shaking like a chihuahua. I couldn't control the sobs, I was extremely loud. I could usually control myself, but I just couldn't. I buried my face in my pillow.

"Rose?" someone whispered. It scared me so much I stopped crying for a second.

"Liam? Is that you?" I whispered back, the tears falling again.

I heard him rush over. He pulled me into his arms and rocked me back an forth. For the second time today he was comforting me.

"Shhh, shhh. What's wrong? What happened?" he asked, sounding concerned.

Once I had gained more control over myself, I answered, "It was just a bad dream. No big deal. Is anyone else awake?"

I noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt. I also happened to notice his abs. I blushed and pulled away, embarassed.

"No, everyone else could sleep through a fire. I'm a light sleeper is all," he replied.

"Oh. I'm fine now, you can go back to your room now of you want. I'm sorry I woke you up," I said quickly.

"It wasn't a problem at all," he said sweetly, and left for the door.

"Oh, and Liam?" I said hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you," I said in a small voice, then turned my back away from him.

"Sleep tight," he replied, shutting the door behind him.

*next morning*

I yawned, stretched, and checked my iPhone. It was 8:30 AM. Ugh. I could sleep in super late during school days, but it seemed I always woke up early on weekends and breaks. I skipped downstairs knowing that no one would be up yet. I grabbed a bowl of cereal, ate it quickly, the went back upstairs to shower and get ready for the day.

Once I had made myself presentable, I checked the time. It was only 10:00. Dam, that meant I had more time to waste waiting for the others to wake up. Just then I received a call from Haley, my other best friend.

"Hey! I was just wondering why there's a big crowd of girls outside your house and if we are still going shopping today...?"

"Shit! I am so sorry, I completely forgot! And sneak around the back way, that's the only way your gonna get in."

"Kay. See in a sec."

I had met Haley one year ago. She had moved from Redding, but she wouldn't tell us why. Sierra and I have always suspected that her family life wasn't so great, but we weren't going to push the issue. She was partially native American, with gorgeous, thick, dark brown hair. She was pretty tall and had a killer body from all the volleyball she did. The reason we were friends was because on her first day at Rosemont High, we'd been paired as partners. At first she scared me bit; she had a kick-ass attitude when you first meet her. But she gradually warms up and is the goofy, funny girl I know and love.

I walked downstairs and unlocked the back door for her. About a minute later she walked in.

"Do I even want to know why there's about a ka-jillion girls outside of your house?" she asked, looking highly entertained.

"Uh, yeah!" Haley was a huge One Direction fan, well, more of a Zayn Malik fan.

"Well,...." she asked looking expectant.

Just then Louis walked down the stairs.

"Good morning Rose and girl I don't know! Do you have any carrot juice?" he said happily.

Haley looked at Louis with an almost bored expression on her face. "Care to explain to me why Louis Tomlinson is in your living room?" she said, raising an eyebrow.

"Hehe, long story...." I replied. I couldn't tell if she was angry or not.

"And we've got time, since we obviously aren't shopping now," she said. Yup. Definitely pissed. Great.

A/N - Whew! Another chappie done!! For all you wondering, I was FORCED to add Haley. Thanks to my friend, and you'll never guess her name, Haley. No, jk I love that child. Anywho, hope you guys are enjoying the story!!
