"Niall...Niall..." Niall could faintly hear someone whispering his name out
Niall groaned turning over in his bed trying to get away from the sound, wanting to sleep more.
"Niall come on wake up" Harry said a little louder nudging Niall's side
When Harry had nudged his stomach he felt last nights dinner roll around inside his stomach....and he could feel a headache coming on too.
"Stop" Niall whimpered pulling the blankets over his head
"We've got rehearsal, be ready in 10" Harry finally just said walking away from Niall's bunk
"Ugh" Niall mentally groaned not feeling like having rehearsal let alone a concert tonight
He hadn't realized how bad his stomach was hurting and the dull ache in the back of his head had turned into a slightly more intense headache.
"Liammmmmm" Niall moaned hearing his mates footsteps getting closer
"Yeah?" Liam asked peaking into his bunk
"Can you get me some Advil?" Niall asked with puppy eyes
"Uh... Sure" Liam said walking off returning seconds later with 2 blue pills in hand
"Are you okay?" Liam asked as he watched Niall wince as he took the small pills
"Yeah, just a headache" Niall mumbled slipping out of his bed to get into something warmer than just boxers as he shivered
"Okay, meet us in the front" Liam responded still eyeing Niall worriedly as he walked off and Liam headed back to the front with the other boys
Niall took in his appearance in the mirror and hissed. He looked horrible!
This was not going to be a good day....
---------------------------
"You finally decided to wake up!" Harry shouted as Niall walked to the front of the bus taking a seat on one of the empty couches
"Shut up" Niall mumbled placing a hand on his head rubbing small circles with his fingers on his temples
"Someone's grumpy" Zayn said under his breath
"Whatever, let's get going boys!" Liam said ushering Niall and the other guys off the bus and into the massive arena
"This is huge!" Louis yelled taking in the arena stage
"Yeah, I can't believe were here" Liam responded placing an arm around Louis shoulders taking it all in
Niall swayed slightly on his feet the lights blaring through his skull making him want to kneel over and vomit all over the stage.
He swallowed down the bile rising in his throat steadying himself on Liam's shoulder making Liam eye him worriedly.
Niall smiled a reassuring smile at him making Liam feel a little better about Niall.
"Well let's get practicing!" Their sound manager shouted handing mics to all of the boys
"Yeah!!" Louis shouted obviously excited to start singing on the new stage
Niall just hoped he could hold down his stomachs contents for at least rehearsal.
----------------------------------
"And we danced all night to the best song ever" they ended their first song feeling so much more pumped
"Great job boys" the sound manager praised as the next song started
After 3 more songs Niall wasn't sure if he could handle much more... He needed to get to a bathroom before he made an artwork of his sick all over the stage.
"C-can I use the bathroom" Niall cleared his throat asking
"Yeah, hurry back! Take ten boys!" The manager shouted into his microphone as Niall ran back stage rushing toward a bathroom
As he rounded a corner he flung himself into the single bathroom locking the door before retching painfully as his dinner from last night came pouring out his mouth.
"Fuck!" Niall sputtered spitting out the remaining bile in his mouth
Niall sat back against the wall regaining his breath. He sniffed pulling some toilet paper from the roll wiping his mouth.
After flushing the contents in the toilet Niall wiped the tears that had fallen from the painful retching he had been doing just minutes ago.
Gathering himself Niall made his way back to the stage.
-------------------------------
"There you are!" Liam shouted
"Sorry.." Niall whispered grabbing his mic hoping that rehearsal was almost over and he could lay down for a bit before the concert tonight
"Alright finish these 5 songs then you guys can do whatever you want" the sound manager announced as the next song started up
Nearly an hour later the songs had been finished and Niall was almost falling over from dizziness.
He really needed to lay down...
"I'm gonna go lay down" Niall whimpered informing the guys where he'd be
"Are you okay? You never sleep before a show" Zayn asked eyeing him up and down as the others looked at him concerned
"Yeah...'just got a killer headache" Niall mumbled before the boys nodded and he walked off toward the dressing room
He had made it back to the dressing room and lied down falling into sleep almost instantly being sooo tired.
-----------------------------
Liam had been slightly concerned as his mate had been suffering this headache all day and made his way toward the dressing room.
Upon walking in he saw Niall curled up in a ball on the small couch his eyebrows knit together in pain.
"Awww" Liam cooed feeling bad for him
Liam got a blanket placing it over Niall's body bringing some warmth to the lad flicking off the light before leaving the room to let him sleep.
"I hope hes okay for the concert" Liam whispered to himself before joining the boys back in a game of football
---------------------------
"Niall!" Paul shouted waking Niall
"What?" Niall whispered feeling his head explode with pain holding in a cry of pain
"You've got to get ready, concerts in 45" Paul explained pulling the blanket from Niall's body making him shiver
"Okay" Niall sighed standing up exiting the room for Lou to do this hair
As Lou did his hair quiffed up exactly his he liked it he sat there silently drifting off.
"Niall...." Lou whispered shaking his shoulder lightly
"Hug?" Niall mumbled opening his eyes
"I'm done" she smiled as Niall nodded walking off to get into his clothes for the concert
"Do I have to wear this?" Niall asked frowning seeing the tank top and black jeans
All Niall wanted to wear was a sweatshirt and sweatpants as he was freezing, yet still his body was radiating heat.
"Yes" their clothing stylist answered ushering him into his clothes
After dressing himself he went to the stage intense with the lads waiting for the timer to run out.
"Why are you sweating?" Louis asked with a disgusted look
"I don't know...but I'm so cold" Niall whispered
"You might have a fever" Liam said going into daddy direction mode feeling his forehead and cheeks with the back of his hand and fingers
Niall leaned into his touch liking the coolness on his burning head," yeah, you've definitely got a fever" Liam said worriedly
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Harry asked as the clock read 2 minutes
"I didn't wanna be a bother" Niall responded
"You should have said something... Are you gonna be okay for the concert?" Liam asked
Niall nodded as a stage manager ushered them to their platforms.
"Just tell us if you start to feel ill" Liam said before the music started and they had to start singing
Niall started singing his solo in the first song feeling his stomach turn hoping he'd be okay for the whole show with out any mishaps.
-------------------------------
As Louis sang his solo Niall felt something trying to find it's way up his throat...."no no no" Niall mumbled to himself trying to swallow the bile
As Louis solo was coming to an end Niall knew he'd need to start singing, he didn't know if he could.
As it came Niall part his head swam and his stomach turned and he didn't even know what to do," I-I'm sorry" Niall whimpered before bending over throwing up harshly onto the floor.
There came lots of ewwww and grosses but the guys ignored it rushing toward Niall before he fell.
"Shit!" Liam said grabbing Niall's waist rubbing his back as more sick poured out of his mouth
"Come on... Let's go backstage" Zayn said leading Niall and Liam off the stage
----------------------------
"Niall are you okay!?" Frantic voiced rang through his ears as he tried to regain his composure
"I-I'm fine" Niall whimpered taking a small drink of the water that was placed in his hands
"Let's get you to the bus" Paul mumbled telling the boys they would need to finish the concert while he took Niall back to the bus
They nodded before rushing back to the stage explaining the situation before continuing on with the concert.
Back at the bus Paul had got Niall situated on a couch, bucket within reach, and a movie on the tv for him to watch.
"Are you good?" Paul asked
"Yeah, thanks" Niall whispered closing his eyes letting sleep take over his weak body
Paul had never seen the energetic lad so sick. He hoped it was just a 24 hour bug.
-------------------------
After the concert had ended all the boys were frantic to get back to the bus and make sure Niall was okay.
They rushed toward the bus being stopped by Paul's firm hand.
"You lads NEED to be very quiet and make sure hes okay" Paul explained
"He's really ill and isn't tolerating noise very well, you must go sit quietly, sleep, or you can play a movie very quiet in the back" Paul told them the things they could do
They all nodded walking onto the bus seeing their sick mate laying curled up on the sofa a trash bin placed next to the couch and blankets covered his small frame.
"Oh my gosh....." Louis muttered eyes tearing up at the sight
"He looks so unwell" Liam whispered placing a light hand on his forehead feeling a burning fever
As the boys were whispering about him Niall woke from his sleep," hi" he whimpered
"Hey mate" they all said in union making Niall wince as all their voices sounded like someone screamed at him
"Will y-you lay w-ith me?" Niall asked looking at Zayn
"Course" Zayn whispered in his thick Bradford accent
Zayn ushered to the other boys to go to the back while he stayed with Niall and got him better.
Zayn moved Niall's blankets slipping on the couch behind him wrapping his arms around his stomach.
"How're you feeling?" Zayn whispered into his hair
"Really b-bad" Niall choked out closing his eyes in pain
"Go to sleep... I've got you" Zayn reassure rubbing a hand over Niall's nauseous stomach falling asleep
Zayn has never seen anything so precious. His mate curled up in his arms:)
Zayn placed a gentle kiss to his feverish forehead before closing his eyes along with Niall falling asleep himself
He just hoped his mate would be alright in the morning:(
