Into The Unknown

Chapter 6

Ryan's POV

I had already guessed Abi wasn't feeling herself while we were at the resturant, she hardly touched her meal and was frowning and rubbing her temples alot. The thing with Abi is she was always very good at worrying about other people but would never tell you if she was ill, I figured out a long time ago that this was pretty much a guessing game.

I asked Harriet when Abi went for her interview of she was ok and she confirmed to me that Abi had what she thought was the start of a migraine. I knew she would probably need to sleep it off if it got worse, I wasn't however expecting to have to run over to her to stop her from collapsing.

"SHIT" I heard her cry out as she reached for her head, she could hardly stand. Zach and Brent had started to rush over to her by the time I jumped off the stage. I put my hand on her back as she was doubled over "Baby what's wrong? Do you need a doctor?" She didn't get chance to reply, she just collapsed in my arms. I scooped her up and carried her over to a benched area, I laid her down and put my jacket under her head. She wasn't out for many minutes but she was burning up, Harriet had been to fetch the on site medic "You ok" I asked when I saw Abi's eyes flicker open, she tried to sit up "Hey stay still, Harriet's fetched a medic" I say softly and put my hands on her shoulders to stop her from trying to get up.

"Hi Abi can you sit up for me" the medic comes and kneels in front of Abi, she is a middle aged lady in a green and red uniform, she shines a torch in Abi's eyes "Do you usually suffer from migraines?" She asks Abi who still looks out of it.

"Yeah I have done since I was a child" Abi winced at the bright light.

"So you know the drill then, migraine medication, a dark room and lots of rest until it fades" the medic smiled.

"Yep I got it covered, thank you" Abi waited for the medic to walk away before she looked up at me.

"I'll take you home" I help her to her feet and grab my car keys out of my pocket.

X-x-x

I stay with Abi in the bedroom until she falls asleep, it doesn't take too long.

I really hated leaving her alone like this but it was too short notice to cancel the show. Harriet agreed to stay with her so I could go back "If she gets any worse call me okay" I say as I head out of the door. Harriet rolls her eyes, but agrees to do as I ask.

I park in the carpark and head back inside, I notice Zach, Brent, Drew and Eddie grinning at me. It's not until I look around that I notice a new speaker with a red bow on it, I walk closer to it and see a label 'Happy Pre-Valentine Day Baby, now you can stop moaning. I love you lots Abi xxx' I couldn't help but laugh when I read it as I turned over the label I laughed louder 'It's not what you know, it's who xxx'. Obviously she had ordered me a new speaker without telling me or anyone else. Jack seemed relieved to be off the hook, we plugged it in and the technical team said it sounded perfect.

"Your wife is amazing" Drew exhaled as he looked at the speaker "I would marry her myself if you hadn't already beaten me to it"

"Good job I got in there when I did then" I laugh as I check my phone again.

"I'm sure she'll be ok Man" Drew must have seen me checking my phone "The medic didn't seem worried, you never know she might even make it back for the second part of the show"

"Yeah maybe" I wasn't sure what was wrong but I had a really bad feeling, maybe Drew was right maybe she would be back later and perhaps I was just worrying too much.

"Hey Ryan there's someone here for you" Zach called out and I saw a young girl standing with him, she was wearing baggy jeans, a white t-shirt, grey hoodie and white converse. Her hair was in a plait "She says her names Lucy?"
