My eyes opened and I hissed in pain. Shit, I'm hurting so bad I can't move. I slowly move my neck and see that it's 2 in the morning. Can I please catch a break?

It was painful, but I grabbed my phone. I unlock my phone and go to my contacts, finding Michael and calling him. Even though he's probably downstairs asleep on the couch, I need him.

I could hear someone get up and walk around down there, hopefully it's him.

"Hello?" Emma answered.

What the fuck?

"Em, sweetheart what are you doing up?" I asked.

"Daddy? I'm hearing noises and I'm scared."

"Where's Uncle Michael?" I asked.

"He's asleep. I'll get him," she spoke.

"Emma, you don't have to-"

"Hello?" He answered sleepily.

"Mikey," I spoke as I hissed in pain.

"Luke? What the hell?"

"Michael, I keep on waking up. I'm in so much pain I can't move. I need you."

"Shit, okay. Hold on, let me lay Emma down and I'll be right there."

He hung up and I drop my phone. I don't have the strength to move it back. I heard Emma's door open across the hall and music begin to play.

My door then opened and Michael rushed in.

"Does everything hurt?" He asked as he sat on the other side of my bed.

"Yeah, and it's just not a little, it's a lot of pain Mikey. I don't know what to do," I spoke scared out of my mind.

"Don't freak. You'll be okay. Here," he spoke as he got up and grabbed the water bottle from the night stand that I got earlier and some Advil from my bathroom cabinet.

"Take these," he spoke as his hand went behind my head and lifted it up a little so I don't choke.

He set four pills on my tongue and poured some water in. I swallowed them down and sighed, "Thanks."

"No problem. Want me to stay just in case?" He asked.

"If you want. I don't mind," i spoke.

He nodded and came and laid next to me.

"You're freezing," he spoke.

"I am?"

"Yeah, hold on," he spoke as he got up and grabbed a thick blanket from the hall closet.

He laid it on top of me and got back in the bed.

"Just try to rest, okay? You need to get better," he spoke as I nodded and we both drifted off.

"Emma, sweetheart let me wake him up. He's still sick."

"But Uncle Calum, I miss him."

"I know. But we have to go get your other uncles from the airport. Let me get him and he can sit with you in the car, okay?"

"Okay."

I heard her leave and Calum shut the door. I felt the side of my bed shift downward and a hand go to my forehead.

"Luke," he spoke as he started to shake me.

"Calum, stop," i whined as I rolled over.

"We have to go. Are you feeling better? You can stay, I'll stay with you if you want," he rambled.
