I Don't fake! Harry Styles Sickfic (l.s)

Chapter 6

The Concert

-----------

Thinking of the concert made Harry feel sick. The lights, the screaming, the hot and sweaty feeling to the air, made him nauseous and his head hurt. How was he to survive this? 

Half an hour before the soundcheck, Harry was sitting on the backstage couch with his head in a bin, puking out the water Liam had forced into him and his bandmates trying to comfort him while the entire crew stood and watched as if it was some show he was putting on. "I really don't think he should do this concert" Lou, their hair stylist spoke up and their makeup artist agreed but even if they had the whole world on their side, the management would still make Harry perform. 

Zayn stayed quiet and watched, not knowing what to do or what to say. He knew Harry wasn't faking but a part of his mind had him convinced that the curly boy was not ill. The 4 healthy boys did soundcheck while Harry slept, not so peacefully in the back. Management was trying to get him to attend the soundcheck. "Harry, you wont be able to perform tonight if anything is wrong and you don't do soundcheck" Richard, from the management said. Harry coughed hard and rubbed his forehead before saying he didn't want to perform. He was told that not performing wasn't an option and was made to get up and do soundcheck. The other boys had done quite a bit of Harry's parts, incase anything went wrong. They were already more than half way through the set and were currently rehearsing 'tell me a lie'. Louis spotted Harry the very second he walked on stage. "rest, you need it" Louis whispered. "I was, Richard made me" Harry said with a sigh. 

All Harry did through soundcheck was drink water to stay hydrated and he didn't sing a word. Harry had to rehearse 'What makes you beautiful' because of his solo. The first time they ever performed it live, he nearly puked on stage because of nervousness. That made him nervous and the nervousness wasn't doing him much good with his churning gut. He got through his solo, somehow swallowing the bit of bile that decided to some up. Thankfully it stayed there even after the rehearsal was over. 

Harry fell asleep on the couch, curled up and shivering. Louis felt so bad when he had to wake the boy up for something he shouldn't be doing in the first place. "Haz, harry, time to wake up baby" Louis said and Harry groaned. Harry went through hair and makeup really quick and so did the others. While they waited for Zayn's hair to be fixed, Harry started feeling extremely nauseous again. The nausea building in him, made him want to puke, but he didn't want to have a horrible taste in his mouth when he had to go out and sing. 

Harry managed to keep his stomach in place till right before the show was supposed to start. Just as he was about to join the others before heading onto stage, his stomach did a backflip and made an overwhelming wave of nausea pass through him. At that moment he knew he would most definitely not survive even 2 minutes on stage without throwing up. He sat back down on the couch, grabbed the soiled bin and gagged into it. "L-Lou, I don't feel good" He said and the older boy rushed over rubbing the poorly boy's back. 

A little comfort was what was needed before Harry spewed the water in his system into the already puke covered bin. Liam and Niall helped comfort Harry while Zayn watched along with the members of management involved backstage. You could see guilt form in Zayn's eyes as he watched his youngest bandmate empty his stomach. Richard made Zayn and Louis go on stage and entertain the crowd till Harry had stopped gagging, heaving and vomiting. Just as Harry began to calm, Liam and Niall were given their microphones and sent off to join the older 2. In the meanwhile, James, the one from the phone, gave Harry some water before snatching the bin and pushing him on stage with his mic. 

Just as the music to Na Na Na and the fans cheering reached Harry's ear, he felt a load of adrenaline rush through him. 'Maybe he would make it through the concert' He thought and smiled contently. He made it through Na Na Na with a little struggle towards the end, but luckily he didn't have any solos and could hide behind the other's voices. Louis noticed it and gave the boy a quick look and Harry gave Louis a thumbs up to show that he was fine. He made it through 'Stand Up' but he was awfully nauseous after it. He was paler than a sheet of paper but he had to push himself and finish this concert. Liam read out a few signs and then they started singing 'I wish'. Harry struggled to keep his stomach in place with every note. Just as the music stopped Harry ran backstage. Louis was trying his best to stay on stage and not run back to help the boy. After 10 seconds of fighting his urge to go backstage, he decided to pull a little stunt to go and see his baby. 

"Liiii" Louis whined. "Can I go to pee" he said, hoping Liam would get what he was trying to hint at. Usually he wouldn't ask, but him running backstage right after his boyfriend did would spark Larry rumors and if those rumors surfaced with full force, he would have to go on a ton of fake PR dates with Eleanor. Now that was something neither Harry nor Louis wanted. 

Harry was backstage, sitting on the floor, with the bin between his crossed legs. "Aww babe, let it out" Louis encouraged. Harry gagged and a small splatter of vomit hit the bin, followed by a loud retch and a stream of puke that escaped the boy's lips. Both of them were equally boggled at how Harry even had stuff in him to throw up. 

The concert continued, Harry running off every 3-4 songs and a different boy checking in on him every time. By the end of the concert, Zayn was all over the younger ill boy, apologizing over and over again. 

Harry, by no means, felt any better the next day. He was still throwing up and his fever was still there, evident as ever. "Punish us how you like Hazza" Zayn said and got a death stare from Niall and Liam. "You all are going to be his personal Butlers" Louis said with a smirk, reading Harry's mind. "You too Lou, you thought I was faking" Harry said with a cute pout. This time Louis joined the other two boys in giving Zayn a death stare. "What? I was just trying to make him feel better" Zayn protested. 

'It's gonna be a long few days' were the words dancing in all of their brains.
