Chapter 42

~ Niall ~
When I heard a painful noise very close by, I woke up and looked next to me.
Nina's missing from the bed.
I heard the noise again and then realized it was coming from the bathroom.
Hurrying, I got out of bed and went in there, seeing Nina leaning over the toilet.
What scared me was seeing her empty everything from her stomach.
I got down on my knees behind her and held her hair, rubbing her back.
"Shh, baby. Get it all out." I whispered.
"No, don't look at me like this." She managed to get out, but just went back to being sick.
"I don't care. Just get it out. You're okay."
What is going on?
She said she was feeling better yesterday.
After a few more moments, Nina stopped and fell back into my arms.
She started to tremble as I flushed the toilet.
"N-Niall."
"Hey, shh. I'm here. You're okay." I whispered, holding her tight and kissing her cheek.
"What's wrong with me?" She asked, her voice sounding weak.
"It's okay. We're gonna find out what's going on so you can be healthy."
I felt goosebumps rise on her skin and then felt her forehead again.
"God, you're burning up." I mumbled, not wanting to worry her.
"B-but I'm so cold."
Okay, so she's got a fever and she's getting sick.
Food poisoning, maybe?
Just a stomach thing?
But again, it came so suddenly.
"Did you get your period?"
"No."
I helped her up and she managed to find the strength to brush her teeth quickly before I picked her up and carried her to the bed.
"I'm cold." She repeated.
I tucked her under the covers and found a couple extra blankets in the closet.
"I'll be back in a second, baby. Hang tight."
I left the room and quickly went across the hall to Louis' room, finding him awake, surprisingly.
"Hey, Niall."
"Nina's ill, mate. She got sick this morning and she's burning up. She's gotta stay in bed today." I informed.
He cursed and looked to the ground before back at me.
"Alright, well, for now just get her some medicine and we'll see how she's feeling then."
I nodded and left the room, popping back into mine.
When I went back to the bedroom, Nina was just about to fall asleep so I went over with the pills quickly.
"Take these before you fall asleep, princess."
She looks so exhausted.
But she did as I asked and took the medication before snuggling back under the covers.
"Get some rest. I love you." I whispered, kissing her hot forehead.
She was out as soon as the words left my mouth.
I left the bedroom again and found Harry coming into the main room.
"You ready for the show tonight?!" He exclaimed, clearly excited.
I bet he's just excited that he gets to see his family again.
"Shh, keep it down. Nina's sick and resting." I told him.
He looked confused and took a seat across from me at the table.
"I thought she was feeling better yesterday."
"Yeah, she was. This morning I woke up and she was just getting sick. I felt her forehead and she was burning up, so I gave her some medication and now she's resting."
"Damn, alright. Maybe it's just a stomach bug or something."
I sighed and shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know. Might get her checked out if she doesn't improve by tomorrow."
"Good idea. Well, if she wakes up before we head out, tell her I said to feel better." He said, walking towards the door.
"Will do. See you soon."
Once he left, I went to the bathroom to take a shower before we have to leave.
After that, I threw some clothes on and grabbed a notepad, writing a little note for Nina for when she wakes up saying:

Hi, princess. Hope you're feeling better. The boys and I headed out to the O2. Please call or text me when you wake up. Love you!
Niall❤️

I put the note under her phone and kissed her forehead again before heading out.

~ Louis ~
God, I'm so excited.
I'm literally minutes away from seeing Jess again.
It's been too long.
Even if it may only be a little time apart, it feels like an eternity.
I just wanna see her and hold her tight and kiss those soft lips of hers.
Then, get close with her at night, if you get what I mean...
"Are we there yet?" I asked, becoming anxious like a little kid.
"Yes, we are actually."
The car stopped and security came over to the door, helping us get past the fans and into the building.
I looked around for a second, hoping to find Jess.
"Louis?" I heard a quiet voice speak up.
I turned to the side and saw a cute little face with a shy smile, peeking behind some equipment.
A grin spread across my face as I walked fast over to her, opening my arms wide.
She came out and ran into my arms, snuggling deep up to me.
"Louis." She breathed out, finally being able to feel me again.
"Hi, sweetie. I'm back." I whispered, rubbing her back.
"I missed you so much."
"Same here."
She looked up and our lips finally connected.
"I love you." She mumbled against my lips.
"I love you, too."
I took her hand in mine as we walked towards the dressing room.
"What have you been up to lately?" I asked.
"Erm, nothing majorly important, really. Just working." She said. "I've been talking with my step-mum a little."
That came as a shock to me.
"That's great, baby. I'm happy for you." I said, squeezing her hand lightly.
Jess and her step-mum really haven't talked a lot in a while.
Because Jess left, she sort of lost communication with her family and I guess now she's getting back to talking to them a lot.
It's probably a good thing for her and Jenna.
And from the stories that I've heard, she used to like love her step-mum, along with her biological mum.
I'm not sure, I'm just glad they're talking.
"Yeah, it's great."
When we got to the dressing room, I made sure no one was in sight and then locked the door.
"I've got a few minutes before we have to get started on some work. I was gonna wait for tonight, but I can't wait any longer." I said, quickly changing moods.
I grabbed her, forcing her against the wall, but not so I would hurt her.
My lips crashed against hers and she gasped, being caught off guard.
"Oh, god. I've missed you."
And damn, I've missed her, too.

~ Niall ~
I strummed the strings on my guitar, making sure it was in tune.
This is a habit I don't think I will ever break.
"Five minutes till you go on!" Someone announced from backstage.
I left Nina several hours ago and she still hasn't called me.
I'm actually nervous.
She may love her sleep, but she normally doesn't sleep this long, especially when she's sick.
I began to pace back and forth, staring at my phone on the table.
I want her to call before the show.
But I also don't want to be rushed to talk with her.
After what seemed like the hundredth time turning to walk the other way, I heard my phone go off, playing a small part of a song Nina and I wrote.
I ran to it and quickly picked it up, putting it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I asked in a rushed voice.
I heard a guy say three minutes now.
"Hi, Niall." I heard my princess say.
"Oh, thank god. I was nervous that you had gotten worse or something and I don't know. You just don't normally sleep that long."
I heard her giggle a little and the sound brought a smile to my face.
"I'm okay. Thank you for being that caring." She reassured me.
When a guy came into the room to come get me I threw a fit internally.
"Hey, baby? Can I call you back later? We're about to start."
"Oh, no. What time is it?" She paused for a moment. "Oh, god. Sorry, Ni. I hadn't realized what time it was."
"It's alright. I love you. I'll call you later."
"Niall. Now."
I groaned and started to walk out the door.
"I love you, too. Good luck." Nina said.
"Love you."
I hung up the phone and handed it to a guy to put back in my room and was pushed out on stage.

Hi! I apologize that this update came a little late, I've just had quite a busy week. I've had to rush and do my homework because I had school concerts on Tuesday and Thursday, and I went to go see Ed Sheeran on Wednesday. (It was amazing, btw. He's a fantastic performer. Lots of energy.) I also had a few tests this week, so that's why I'm a little late. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. :)
