Harry Dance Rehearsal Seizure

None's POV
"Are you ok Harry? You seem a bit off," Niall asked as they were rehearsing their dance moves for the last leg of the tour.
"I'm alright. I think the medication is messing with my head a little."
"It makes your mind a bit foggy for a week or two. The same thing happened to me."
"Does it get better?"
"Yeah, it goes away."
"Ok," Harry said and they continued with our dance rehearsal. After a while, Harry stopped and he walked off before he lay down. Niall was the first to go over to him.
"Are you alright Harry?"
"My head's getting worse Niall."
"Do you think that you're going to have a seizure?"
"I don't know."
"Lie on your side in case you do," Niall said and Harry turned onto his side as the other boys joined them. Harry closed his eyes and he focused on his breathing.
"Is Harry ok?"
"How's his head feeling?"
"Bad," Harry told them.
"We've been rehearsing for 3 hours, can we have a break John?"
"Of course. Let's take half an hour."
"Thanks," Louis said and Harry fell unconscious.

Harry's POV
"He'll be alright Louis. It's the medication, they take time to adjust to," Niall said. "He was only diagnosed last week."
"I know, but it's still nerve racking Niall. Harry, are you back with us yet?"
"It's Niall and Louis Harry. You're alright and you're safe," Niall told me and I could feel his hand resting on my back.
"I..." I said, before I realised how exhausting talking was.
"We're with you Harry. You've just had a seizure."
"It was a small one. It only lasted for 20 seconds.
"Small...?"
"Yeah, just take some deep breaths," Niall told me as some footsteps came over to us.
"How's he doing boys?"
"He's just coming round Paul."
"Good," Paul said and I felt his hand touch my back. "How are you doing Harry?"
"Not... good," I said. I felt shattered and I now knew why Niall had been out of it after having a seizure. "Ti'rd..."
"You will be Harry."
"Ni..." I said and I moved my hand towards him. He took it and held it gently.
"Hi mate. It's a horrible feeling but if you have a nap, you'll feel much better."
"Don't want... sei..."
"I know. Once you get used to the medication, it will get better," Louis told me and I nodded. He tickled my chin before he kissed me.
"I'll carry him to a sofa to get some rest. The rest of you get some food and something to drink, rehearsal starts again in 10 minutes."
"Ok Paul."
"Just relax Harry," Paul said and I felt him gently pick me up.
"Get some rest," Niall said before Paul took me to a sofa where he lay me down and I felt Louis gently put a blanket around me.
"Have a nap alright H? I love you," Louis said before he kissed me.
"Love... you," I replied and Louis kept his hand on my cheek as I fell asleep.

I coughed and I opened my eyes to see that I was lying in my bunk on the tour bus.
"Harry? Are you awake?"
"Yeah," I answered Louis and a moment later the curtain to my bed was moved to the side.
"Hey," Louis said gently as he smiled. "How are you feeling?"
"Better," I said before I coughed again. "Could I get some... water?"
"Of course," Louis said and he went to get me some.
"Thanks," I said as he returned and he gave me some help to drink it.
"Better?"
"Yeah," I said and Louis put the cap back on the water bottle.
"You did really well today."
"Dancing or collapsing?"
"Both. I said that we would look after you like we did with Niall."
"But it's permanent."
"I know. Niall says that the medication should settle in the next week or two, then Niall only had seizures when he forgot to take his tablets."
"Or when he had... cluster seizures."
"Those were an exception, Harry. We will learn how to deal with this. We won't let epilepsy hold you back."
"Thank you," I said and Louis took my hand as I lay back down. "What time is it?"
"Ten past 6. We've ordered pizza, do you want some?"
"Yes."
"Ok. Let's go before Niall eats all of it," Louis said and he helped me to get up and we went back into the studio.
"Harry," Liam said as I came in. He stood up and he gave me a hug.
"How are you feeling?" Zayn asked me.
"A lot better. Having a rest really helped."
"Let him go Liam so he can have some pizza."
"We saved you some Harry."
"Thanks," I said and I sat down with all of the boys. I was going to be ok, it was just a lot to get used to.
