Carrier

Too Curious

I spend the rest of the week trying to hide just how much pain I am in. We go through shows, interviews, and fan greetings. Louis is always there to discreetly help me through the pain when he can. Paddy and Louis help me disapear into bathrooms to throw up or try to get through severe cramping pains. 

All of the boys are suppitious and they are not the only ones.

"Liam Payne from One Direction has been caught throwing up and disapearing during shows and interviews. Doctors are fans are guessing at what is happening to the young popstar. Some are spectulateing that he has some sort of cancer, others are saying its some type of bad flu, but the most interesting is the speculation that he is a Carrier and somebody that is choosing to stay annoymus have come forward of proof that the young and beloved popstar is what so many seek for and would fight for. More on this story after the break," the reporter announces over the TV her voice ringing throughout the tour bus. The mention of my name ceasing all conversation.

All eyes are now on me where I Iay curled up on the couch with a blanket wrapped tightly around me as I try to sleep, but the pestering cramps and headache stop me.

"Liam, what is going on? You have been acting weird all week. Please tell me it's not cancer or I'm going to cry,"  Niall speaks up tears in his blue eyes. 

"It's not cancer, I promise," I whisper weakly, having little energy any more. I have gotten little sleep, throw up everything I have ate and I know I am suffering now from dehydration, but I say nothing fearing what will happen if I do.

"Liam, you need to get to a hospital. This is getting out of hand, you're dehydrated and losing weight. I'm going to tell them and have Paul take you to the nearest ER. I'm sorry Liam," Louis says giving me a knowing look and making it clear he won't hear my arguments.

"N-No, Louis you don't understand I'm fine," I argue struggling to sit up with my arms trembling under my weight.

"You're not. Boys, Liam is a Carrier and he is going through his transition. It's why he is getting so sick. You all understand that the public finding out could mean Liam's safetly, and by the looks of it they are finding out anyways. Liam won't admit, but he's scared because his doctor and mum have put it in his head to not trust anybody. I need your guys help to get him through this and keep him safe," Louis explains making me whimper pulling my blanket closer terriffed of seeing the disgust in the boys' eyes or worse the opportunity.

Louis leaves me with them moving up towards the front, but not before kissing the top of my head gently.

The rest of the lads are silent, looking shocked. Niall is silently crying, Harry is looking at his hands thoughtfully and Zayn is just staring at me with shock and confusion.

"You could have told us, we would NEVER have done anything to hurt you. No wonder you're so weak and out of it. From the research I have done the process is quite painful and drainning. Do you know if you're one of the Clover Carriers? I have heard that they go through an even more painful transition for their bodies are also trying to adapt to carrying abilities like healing, controling moods and things like that," Harry breaks the silence taking my hand in his. His green eyes are full of worry for me and all I can do is break.

"My doctor is 95% sure that I am a Clover Carrier. Carriers born premature have a higher chance....I think she would now tell me she's a 100% sure. My transition shouldn't be getting this bad," I break my body shaking with my sobs, for that is all they are. No tears come for I have not been able to even keep the water that Louis has forced me to drink down.

"We'll keep you safe. Shhh it's going to be okay. The doctors are going to make you feel better," Harry promises me pulling me into his arms.

"Aw Liam, I wish you had told us earlier so you didn't have to carry this alone," Niall speaks up grabbing one of my hands as Harry gently lays me back down onto the couch.
