When Sickness Hits

Ch.2

Harry's POV

It was just what I had expected. We had started our music video shooting late due to the set not being ready in time, and now some of us had to stay behind and work on a few things. By now it was night time and I was pretty much exhausted. I'd never been so eager to go to the hotel before and I knew that i'd be running to my bed as soon as I reached.

Liam, Zayn and Louis had all been able to go to the hotel, however Niall and I had been left with the final scenes and we had to finish them all today. Of course there was still more scenes that had to be shot later on this week, but for today we had to do most of it.

I was feeling quite exhausted with everything that we had to do, and I could only imagine how poor Niall was feeling. He had to dump a bucket of ice cold water on him for a part of the music video and he was shivering like crazy literally hours after. Paul told Niall to change his shirt, but that still didn't improve Niall's mood at all.

Niall was now really quiet and ever so often he'd be sniffling. When I was helping him change his clothes for one of the scenes, I thought he was crying, but it turned out that his nose was just a bit itchy. At first I thought Niall was just a bit in shock from the water that fell on him, but his constant sniffling wouldn't stop. He'd keep sniffling for no reason and I knew there was something wrong.

When we finally shot the last scene for our music video, that was when we were able to finally go to our hotel. However, we still didn't eat dinner yet and I could hear my stomach grumbling from this afternoon missed lunch.

"Let's get you lads back. We have another long day tomorrow." Paul said leading us to our van. It wasn't good to hear that we weren't gonna get another break for the next few days, but if we looked at it all in a positive way then we could get through this week.

"You ready for dinner?" I asked Niall wrapping my arm around him.

"'Yeah, lets just reach the hotel first." Niall said giving an exhausted sigh. I definitely knew something was up with Niall, but seeing him like this was like seeing a lost puppy. I'd never seen Niall so down in ages and I wanted to make sure he was alright. I looked down on him to examine him once we were in the car to see if anything was out of the normal about his appearance, but there was nothing much that was really abnormal but his droopy eyes and runny nose which probably did signify that he was feeling unwell.

"You alright?" I asked him passing him a tissue. He nodded yes while he strapped up his seat belt and just before we moved off, that was when I heard it. A sudden sneeze escaped Niall racking his body forward with the tissue capped against his nose and mouth to catch whatever germs supposedly flew out of him. The sneeze sounded pretty forceful and Niall just looked so done with life once he recovered from the sneeze seconds later.

I passed him another tissue to blow his nose and before I could even ask him another question, Niall probably knew what I was going to ask him, so he answered for me before I even asked the question.

"I'm fine Haz. Don't worry, just allergies or something like that." he said leaning his head against the window.

"You don't have allergies Niall." I reminded him.

"It's fine, my nose is just acting up." he said accepting another tissue that I passed him just to blow nose in it again.

"Ok, if you're sure. I don't want one of my mates to feel unwell and no one knows, that's all." I said patting his shoulder.

"Thanks Haz." he said laying the rest of his body over the seat. I felt like he looked a bit crippled sitting in two little car seats, so I let him rest his head on my lap in order for him to feel more comfortable. I was really glad he slept on my leg too because that way I could monitor him for the whole ride just to see if he was really lying, or not.
