Goodnight San Diego!" I call out waving to the crowd running into the lift

As soon as we are out of the crowds view panic washes across all our faces. Niall never came back onstage. Liam told the crowd he was feeling unwell and couldn't continue. Which wasn't a complete lie, he was sick technically.

"He better be okay" Liam mumbles running his fingers through his hair nervously chewing his lip

"He is. He's alright" Harry says firmly being  optimistic but the panic on his face it doesn't really ease anyone's concerns

The lift finally gets to the bottom and we run out dropping our mics in a near by bin and ripping out our in-ears. Frantically we look around for Niall but are only met with crew members rushing around

"Where is he?" I huff looking to anyone around us

Paul walks up to us looking pale "He's not here"

"What do you mean he's not here?" Liams voice raises as he steps into Paul's face

"What the hell happened!" I grit my teeth. Why the fuck wouldnt he be here?

"C'mon I'll explain in the car" we follow him out the back allowing him to usher us all into a black van

"Where are we going?" Harry asks

"The hospital" Paul says

"Wha-"

"Let me explain!" He interrupts. I motion for him to continue as he begins driving "he started coughing up blood and turning blue, he passed out. Daniel came and put a tube down his throat to try and get him to breath. Then EMTS showed up and took him to hospital with Daniel" we all just sat there in silence for a moment absorbing everything he told us

"Is he okay?" I ask breaking the heavy silence

"I don't know I haven't heard anything from Daniel" he admits shaking his head

"Do you know where the hospital is?" Liam asks voice steady and emotionless

"No, but my phone does" he tosses his phone to Liam to get directions

It took about half an hour to get to the hospital due to the concert traffic, but we finally get there and run into the massive building right up to the front desk.

"We're looking for Niall Horan" Liam huffs out breathing heavily

"He's here but he's a high security patient no one has access but family members" the dark skinned woman at front desk informs us after typing something into her computer

"You have to let us see him his family is in Ireland we're the closest thing to family you're going to get" Harry explains leg bouncing

She sighs "I'll go talk to Dr. Wagner" she stands and walks away leaving us. We groan simultaneously once shes put of sight

"It's alright lads she's going to talk to Daniel he'll let you in. You know he has to be high security, speaking of that we really shouldn't just be standing here" Paul looks around at the quiet waiting lounge

"Whatever. I don't care if people see us I just" I sigh "I need to know hes okay"

The receptionist returns calling us back over to her desk "Dr. Wagner said you can come back to see him. You just need these access IDs" she slides a pile of badges to as. We each rapidly grab a tag and clip them to the bottom of our shirts anxious to find Niall

"Follow me" we walk behind her through a set of doors out of the waiting lounge "he's in the Intensive Care Unit right now but that's the only information I really have"
