Zouis Strep Throat

Ch.4 Brothers For Life

Louis POV

For the first time in days I was very glad. I didn't wake up because a cough was stuck in my throat, or because I felt too hot. Even though the reasons were similar. Today me and Zayn were feeling a lot better because of the medicine we were getting for our case. Though today we had to go to work.

Paul woke us up this morning and told me and Zayn to take some dayquil before we left. I felt fine. Not perfect, because every 5 minutes I was coughing into my elbow of comfort. Same with Zayn. But Zayn was always smart enough to travel with a bottle of water which I wasn't. But he shared it with me anyways.

Today we had a photoshoot for Four. Even though it was already produced, it was a second one to go with the release of our next song which we were excited for. I would tell, but we weren't aloud to tell anyone what it was.

Me and Zayn had a shitload of makeup put on our face for the photoshoot. By that result i'm guessing we still looked really bad. But it wasn't our fault our that we died and revived again from this sickness.

"Are you boys ok to continue shooting today?" Paul asked me and Zayn.

"Mhm." Zayn said gulping down another sip of water."

"Yeah I guess." I said before drinking some of Zayns water that he passed to me.

"Well management told me all you boys will be let off earlier today. You guys need a lot of rest for your concert tomorrow." Paul informed us.

"Thank the Lord." I heard Liam say as he looked at the ceiling in relief.

"You boys are tired aren't you?" Paul asked.

"I forgot how to model." Harry said fixing his hair.

"Me too." Zayn said relaxing on the couch.

"What are you talking about Model Malik." I said referring to when I said the biggest poser in the group was Zayn almost 3 years ago.

"Yeah I remember you were our mentor in that stuff." Niall said.
"I lost my consistency." Zayn said yawning.

"Ok boys now we just need to finish these last group photos and you guys can go home." our photographer said.

At least she was right.The photoshoot was a breeze, now we could go back to the bus and relax. As soon as we flew in the bus, I just I just threw myself down on the couch across from the one Zayn was on.

"We knew you guys were tired." Niall said sitting on me.

"Get off me." I said trying to lift Niall off his body.

"Never." Niall said smiling.

"I'm about to cough on you." I said moving back from Nialls head.

"Noooooooo!" Niall screamed running off to Zayn.

"I'll get the water." Harry said.

"Thanks Haz." Liam said patting my back.

It had been almost 3 minutes and I still hadn't stopped coughing completely. And I was now at that point where I was back to shivering, with a fever, again. Same with Zayn. Our throats also got back to its painful states as the day progressed.

"Geez Louis. You okay?" Harry said feeling my forehead.

"I don't feel the best again." I said quietly.

Harry led me to the bedroom again. Zayn was already in the other bed wrapped in his blankets drawing in his sketchbook. His eyes were filled with signs that he needed sleep again.

"Hey I thought you said you would sleep?" Harry said to Zayn.

"I couldn't." Zayn whispered.

"Lost your voice again?" Harry asked helping me in my bed.

"Nope. It just hurts to actually talk and everytime I tried to fall asleep I ended up coughing." Zayn whispered back.

"Oh ok. I'll get you guys' medicine again. Paul said you guys missed your morning dose." Harry said.

"Thats why you guys probably feel like this." he said again.

While Harry was gone to get our medecine me and Zayn had fallen asleep. Or at least I did. I heard Zayn coughing the whole time. At one point it sounded like he stopped, but I was wrong. He broke out into a fit right after.

"You ok Zayn?" I texted him.

"Yeah i'm totally not dying." he said sending me a thumbs up emoji.

"Back. Sorry I took so long. Niall was distracting me." Harry said while handing us our cup of medicine.

"Anyways I noticed you guys can't sleep. So um..... wanna watch a movie?" Harry asked.

"What type?" Zayn asked.

"Any type you guys want. We just hate seeing you guys sick so we wanna cheer you up." Harry said smiling at us. And damn he has some nice dimples.

"Sure." I said.

"Zayn?" Harry asked.

"I would love to. But are you guys sure you wanna hear me cough the whole time? It's not gonna leave me for now." Zayn said ending with another cough.

"We don't care. The medicine will kick in soon anyways." Harry said helping me out of bed.

"Sure then. Thanks." he said.

"Yeah thanks." I said back."

"Welcome." Harry said back leading us to the couches.

These boys were literally the best. They already set up our seats. It was a seat with a pillow, blanket, some water, and some tissues for our nose.

"Wow." I said.

"Thanks." Zayn said sitting down in his seat."

"And were not done yet." Niall and Liam said pointing to the kitchen.

"We made you guys some hot cocoa." Harry said walking out with the tray wiggling his eyebrows.

"Lets get on to the movie now." Liam said handing us our hot cocoa.

We ended up watching Men In Black. It was pretty funny. Niall even got grossed out at all the aliens in the movie which made us all laugh our asses off each time. Watching the movie was really fun. The medicine kicked in eventually too. But the boys forgot to factor in the fact that this medicine made us extremely drowsy.

Me and Zayn ended up falling asleep in our seats. So did the other boys too.

Narraration

After that night, Zayn and Louis were strong enough to do their concert with the rest of the boys on time the next day. There were some moments where they regretted getting out of bed that morning, but the other lads brought their energy back up whenever they needed it. All that mattered was that all these boys loved each other, and nothing could break them apart. No rumours, not little arguments, not even fame. They were together forever, and thats all that mattered.
