"I don't know all I'm saying is I'm worried he won't be able to sing tonight and if he can't sing then how are we going to perform?" Zayn was really frustrated at this point, and honestly he was frustrating me.

"Zayn just quit worrying. Victoria seems to know what she's doing." He really was getting on me nerves. I felt the need to stand up for her. I couldn't tell you why, I just felt so protective of her right now.

"But what if she doesn't?" he snapped.

"Then I will sing for him." I snapped back.

"Guys that's enough. You're going to wake up Harry and if he doesn't get hi bloody rest he definitely won't be singing tonight so just shut up and calm down." Niall looked at us both sternly.

"Ni is right," Liam said. "Even if he can't sing tonight, rest couldn't hurt. Besides, I really think she knows what she's doing. She didn't seem surprised at all with his symptoms." 

I looked to Zayn, who looked at me. After a moment we hugged it out, apologized, and went to our respective rooms. 

I laid down on the bed with a headache from Hell. All this arguing back and forth was exhausting. I closed my eyes and before I knew it, I was out. 

I woke up to Victoria's soft voice coming from the room next to me. 

"Hey Haz. I see you've had your shower. That's good. I brought you some lunch and some more tea. This one won't make you sleepy, since we're approaching show time. You just sit here and eat and rest and then I'll come back in about an hour with more tea.  And then it will be time for you to get ready." She paused for a moment. "No Haz, you can't talk yet. Not for a while. Trust me you'll thank me later. You can take another nap of you'd like. I'm going to go get some lunch. Text me if you need anything." 

The lock clicked when she shut his door. I heard her light footsteps on the carpet approaching my door. She knocked softly and pushed the door open a little, poking her head in through the opening. 

"Louis? Are you awake in here?"

I sat up a little "Yeah I'm awake."

"I'm going to grab some lunch. The other boys are already eating at Nandos. You're welcome to join me if you'd like." 

I ran my fingers through my hair, still groggy from sleep. "Sure. What's for lunch?"

"Pizza in my room."

"Oh that sounds great." She extended her hand and helped me get out of bed. Then she stood there looking up at me for a minute. I caught my reflection in the mirror and noticed my hair was a complete mess. When I reached up to fix it, she grabbed my hand.

"Leave it. It's cute." She smiled up at me and I couldn't help but smile back. I held my arm out to her and with that we went to her room for pizza.

"How is Harry doing?" I asked, taking a bite of pizza.
