If I Was Your Man (BWS)

Twenty-Five

*Maddie P.O.V*

I was sat against the wall in the bathroom, just like last night, with an oversized hoodie of Brad's on, crying into his side. I felt terrible, I've never felt this bad before.

Brad had called Connor who was on his way over, although he was taking a lot longer than usual. Both him and Brad were growing increasingly worried about me as Con can't remember me being this ill before.

"It's okay babe, you're okay." Brad said, cuddling me into him.

"Con's here." Tris said, poking his head around the door.

"Bring him up." Brad said, and I listened as Tris went downstairs. I heard him open the door and talk to Connor.

Within seconds, Con was stood in the doorway. He came over and sat beside me and Brad. Brad removed his grip from me so I could see Connor more clearly.

"Shit man, you don't look good at all." He said, placing his hand on my forehead. "You're right, she is boiling."

"Reckon we should call someone, like 111 or something?" Tris asked.

"That could be an idea." Connor said. "Tris could you do that for us?"

"Sure." He said, leaving to go get his phone.

"Brad, could I have a word with Maddie in private?" Connor asked, and Brad nodded.

"Yeah of course. I'll go with Tris to call someone." He got up and left, closing the door behind him.

"Mads, I wouldn't usually ask this but obviously you're sick so I just want to rule out the possibility... could you be pregnant?" Connor asked.

"No, it's not that type of sickness." I managed to get out, although I was struggling to talk.

"Well, you never know." Con replied.

"I'm pretty positive it's not." I said.

He just nodded in response and moved around so that he could easily give me a hug. There was a knock on the door, and I let them enter.

I saw Brad was there. "Ooh, maybe you're allergic to Brad. That's a shame." Connor said.

Brad chuckled, and came and knelt down to talk to me and Con. "They said it sounds like a very severe sickness bug of some sort, but they said to go into an emergency appointment so we've got to drive you in now." Brad said.

"Okay, my car's right outside, keys are here. You coming?" Con asked Brad, who nodded. "Help me get her up."

*Brad P.O.V*

We arrived at the hospital and went straight inside and to the front desk where we were directed to a waiting area. Looking around, I noticed there was quite a lot of people in here although it was nearly midnight.

There was a group of a few girls all huddled and whispering to each other, looking over.

"Do they recognise you?" Maddie whispered.

"It would appear so." Connor said. "It's okay, as long as we don't get recognised by everyone."

"They've got their phones out, looks like one is recording us." I said, glancing around.

"Did you both want to leave? I could stay here alone-"

"We aren't leaving you, Maddie." Connor said. "I'll go and have a word with the lady."

As Con walked off, I took hold of Maddie's hand and whispered to her, making sure she was okay. She rest her head on me, not saying a word.

"Someone's coming to take us to a side room." Con said. "The woman said she thought she recognised us - her niece is a fan." He chuckled. With that, a young nurse came out.
