You Make Me Strong

Chapter 9

Niall woke up as the sun started to shine through the window. He looked at his phone checking the time. It showed that it was a little after nine. He figured he should get up and around to go check on Harry. When he got up he realized Louis was not in bed. He thought that was odd. Louis normally slept all day when he was hungover. Niall shrugged it off and started to get dressed he was about to walk out the door when Louis walked back in. He was fully dressed and actually looked like he was going to participate in life today.

"Hiya Nialler," He smiled.

"Hey Lou, how you feeling?" Niall asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm fine. Didn't over do it too much last night. Didn't want to be hungover when I went to watch you sing," Louis smiled. Niall was surprised he really didn't anticipate Louis coming to the show.

"You're going to come?" Niall asked.

"Of course. You came to a lot of my games of course I'll watch you sing. This is a big deal." Niall felt really happy. He and Louis really were good friends at this point. He really lucked out in the roommate department.

"Thanks Lou," Niall smiled.

"You can't be headed out this early though?"

"No I'm going to check on Harry. He's been really nervous about the show. I was with him until really late last night just because he was so out of sorts," Niall explained. Louis smirked and raised his eyebrow.

"So are you guys like official?" Louis asked. Niall didn't really know. He didn't think so. They'd never talked about a label. In fact, he wasn't sure what they were at all. They were clearly more then friends but what they were exactly had never been discussed. 

 "I don't know. We haven't talk about it," Niall shrugged. Louis rolled his eyes clearly unsatisfied with that answer. "I've got to go though. I'll see you later?"

"Yeah for sure. Good luck lad," Louis told him. Niall started down to Harry's room. He walked up to Harry's door and knocked. He stood there for a few seconds before the door opened. He was not pleased with what he saw.

"You alright Haz?" Niall asked walking into Harry's room. Harry shook his head chewing on his thumbnail. "What's wrong?" Niall asked watching Harry pace around his room.

"I can't do it," Harry replied his voice shaking.

"Yes you can Haz. You're going to be great," Niall told him. Harry didn't respond. His stomach flipped with anticipation and fear. "Harry," Niall sighed. Niall stepped in front of him to make him stop walking. Niall put his hands on Harry's shoulders making him look at him. "Talk to me," Niall told him firmly. Harry's eyes started to fill with tears. He threw his arms around Niall hugging him tightly as tears started to fall from his eyes. Niall rubbed his back slowly and he was sure he could feel Harry's heart beating in his chest. He could tell he was incredibly nervous. "It's alright Harry," Niall whispered softly. "I've got you." Harry shook as he cried, fear had completely overtaken him. He took comfort in Niall's touch but he still couldn't fight off the nausea that had set in. He felt his throat get tight and his mouth start to water. He was starting to panic more just thinking about throwing up.

"Ni," Harry managed to squeak out. Niall saw the color leaving Harry's face and knew what was coming next.

"Come on bub, lets go to the bathroom yeah?" Harry just nodded. Niall led Harry out to the hall and into the bathroom. Harry crouched down in the stall feeling his stomach start to contact causing him to gag. "I've got you bub, you're alright." Harry shut his eyes waiting for the inevitable. Niall's presence did make him feel better but it wasn't enough to stop what was coming.
