Shawn Mendes Imagines

Sick and Crying

Another request for myself lol. Sorry if your request is taking a while, I've had a few ideas that I wanted to write and I'm home dying of cramps today 😭😭 so been writing imagines for myself to make me feel better lol

Shawn's POV

I'm performing on The Voice US tonight and I'm in New York City. I've been sick for a few days, but I feel so crap today. My entire body is aching, my throat is sore and I have a migraine.

"Please welcome Shawn Mendes"

I begin to sing, and my throat is so sore. My voice cracks not once but four times, and I can see Aish from backstage, smiling at me as we lock eyes.

I get through the performance and instantly feel faint. I'm finding it hard to walk, and Aish notices and she climbs the stage stairs and wraps her arms around me. I'm sure I would have collapsed if she didn't come to me.

Aish's POV

I help Shawn off stage.

"What's wrong honey?" I brush my thumb over his pinkish cheek. He probably has a fever.

"E...everything hurts...my head...my throat and..." I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him tight.

"Shawnie, you're really warm." I put my hand against his forehead. He definitely had a temperature. I notice how red his cheeks were, and beads of sweat lay on his forehead and nose. "Can we get the medic please?" I call as I sit Shawn down on the floor. He leans into me, probably due to weakness and I put my arm around him. Just then, Andrew and the medic come over to us.

"Let me check his vitals." The medic checks his blood pressure and heart rate. "Heart rate is slightly raised, but you've just performed so that could be why. Blood pressure is normal." She then checks his temperature. "40°C. Erm that's 104°F. You need to go to hospital. I have to call an ambulance. Have you got any other symptoms?"

"Body...aches and m...migraine and throat..." Shawn is barely able to say.

"Let's cool you down. Take his jacket and shirt off." The medic tells me. Shawn can barely sit up without support - he was only able to perform due to adrenalin. I take his jacket off and gently lift his grey top off, revealing his sweaty torso. "Lie him down if he can't sit. The cold floor will help his temperature to lower." I help Shawn lay down on the floor, and gently lift his head and place his jacket below it to act as a pillow.

"A...ish..."

"I'm here." I lay on the floor beside him. I'm wearing leggings and a denim jacket so the floor doesn't feel cold. I begin to play with his hair in an attempt to keep him calm. The medic brings an ice pack to help ease his migraine and his fever. I sit up and hold it against his head.

The ambulance arrives around fifteen minutes later and I go in with Shawn. The ride to the hospital is short, and he's taken into a private room. The nurse then comes in and she hooks him up to an IV and takes some bloods. Shawn looks up at me in pain.

"I...I'm cold..."

"Sorry Shawn, we need to get your fever down." I stroke his hair, which felt a bit damp due to sweat.

"Can y...you hold m...me...it hurts" I place a kiss on his cheek before walking to the left side of the bed as his right arm was hooked to an IV. I help him lift his head up and place it on my chest, and my arms wrap around his exposed shoulders. The nurse then walks in.

"We've got his results. Shawn has a moderate case of the flu, so he will be kept in hospital for a few days whilst the fever calms down."

"I had the flu jab on the NHS as I'm asthmatic." I tell the nurse. This is good as I can take care of Shawn without getting sick myself.

"Shawn I can get you some paracetamol for the pain, but it'll be liquid form as your throat is pretty swollen so the doctor said you can't have anything solid."

"P...please" Shawn just manages to say. The nurse returns with some paracetamol in a small plastic cup. Shawn drinks it and snuggles into me. I hold him tightly against me, reassuring him that he's okay as he looked like he was in pain.

"My legs...hurt" he whimpers. I get up and sit at the bottom of his bed and cross my legs. I lift his legs into my lap and gently massage them. "C...can you call m...mum" I lean over and plant a kiss on his jawline and dial Karen's number into my phone. She knew that Shawn was sick but we hadn't been able to tell her that he was in hospital.

"Hello"

"Aish how is Shawn?" She asks worridly.

"Erm...he wasn't well so we brought him into hospital and they said he has the flu, so he's gonna be in hospital until his fever goes down. Do you want to speak to him?" I put it on speaker.

"M...mummy" he says before crying in pain.

"What's wrong honey?" Karen asks lovingly.

"It hurts...just everything" Shawn begins to cough violently, and I press the nurse call button.

"Shawn I'm coming. I've booked a flight to New York so just hold on. I'll be right there in the morning." Shawn couldn't speak so I hung up. The nurse comes in and puts an oxygen mask on him.

"The second bottle of blood indicates that Shawn also has pneumonia."

I'm gonna do part 2 dw! Poor Shawn 😭😭😭 I'm not well so that's what made me write this lol
