"Niall...come on Niall get up" I groan turning over
"What" I mumble
"You have to get up now and shower mate, Lou's here waiting to do your hair" I open my eyes groggily seeing Paul
"Uhhggg Fine" I get up tiredly and make my way to the shower. Stupid jet lag. It's literally the worst thing in the world.
I get out throwing on some sweatpants and head down stairs to the living room finding Lou's hair supplies spread across the room and Caroline had clothes everywhere and the boys are in varying places around the room
"Oh good we're all here" I joke "gotta love press days" I mumble
"Niall, why aren't you wearing a shirt?" Louis asks me accusingly
"It's my house!"
"You just had surgery an your incisions aren't covered"
I shrug "doesn't bother me" I chuckle knowing how squeamish he is
He just glares at me "Niall why aren't your incisions covered! You're going to get an infection!" Daniel chastises me "come here" he pulls me over to the couch making me sit down
He starts re-bandaging my chest carefully "has anyone seen Harry this morning?"
"I'm here" Harry walks into the room looking exhausted like all of us
"Okay Niall you take all these" he says handing me what looks like 20 different pills "and Harry I need to check on your incision"
"Breakfast of champions" I joke taking the pills
"Niall here put this on love" Caroline hands me a pile of clothes I nod and throw on the dark blue button up shirt and black ripped skinny jeans and the tan boots
I go into the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of cereal then sit at the table with the other boys while Lou does my hair.
"Okay boys we have a busy day ahead of us today" Paul tells us as he sits down also "you've got back to back interviews and performances. Now everyone's going to ask about what went down in Australia. Just tell them you both were hospitalized for a few days but are well now. They'll push you to talk more but try to bring it back to the album."
"Okay" we all nod understanding.

"Hello I'm Katie Miller and I'm here with the lovely boys of One Direction!" The interviewer introduces us
We sit all squished one couch too small for four men like usual "hello boys thank you for being here with us today"
She smiles "thank you for having us" Harry says politely
"So obviously we need to talk about the album but firstly I'm sure everyone knows you all took a trip to Australia but while you were there there were rumors that Niall you had been hospitalized due to complications from your cancer? Is that true?" I glance at Louis and Harry at my sides
"It's true I was hospitalized and so was Harry but we are fine now and are just excited to start the album promo" I say what Paul told us to say hoping she'll drop the topic
"Harry you were in hospital also? What happened?"
"I was but Like Niall said I'm fine and he is also and we're just excited to be promoting the album" Harry says just echoing what I said knowing we can't talk about it. Not that we are trying to keep it a secret but management is. They don't want this to overshadow the album
She just nods "so the album..."
The rest of the day went like this. interview after interview, people asking about my cancer about Australia and very little about the album. And performances that went terribly due to my shitty lungs.
