It was 2 am and 5 Seconds of Summer were currently on the tour bus en route to Los Angeles to perform at the Kia Forum the final North America show date of the 5 Seconds of Summer Tour.

Michael: *Starts waking up* Oh god my head it hurts so much. I know I have a history of migraines but I don't want to tell anyone they will just make me sit out of the final North American concert because I am not feeling well. I should get up and get myself some headache medicine and water before this turns into a full blown migraine.

*Michael gets up out of the tour bus bunk and tries to steady himself as getting up made him dizzy before walking into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of water and Tylenol.

Ashton: *waking up* I heard someone get up out of the tour bunk and was instantly concerned remembering that Michael has a history of bad Migraines. I start walking out into the kitchen.

Michael: Ashton? What are you doing awake? I'm so sorry if I woke you up. I woke up super thirsty and just came to grab some water.

Ashton: *sighs* Michael are you sure that is all that you came for. I can see you swaying to keep yourself steady and you look awfully pale.

Michael: Im okay, I promise. I just have a tiny little headache but please don't tell anyone. If they all find out my head hurts they are going to try and make me not perform tonight and I should be perfectly okay by then.

Ashton: *sighs deeply* Oh Michael, what are we going to do with you. Did you forget how bad and quickly your headaches can turn into migraine headaches. I won't tell anyone for now but you have to take that medicine and please promise me you will tell me if you start to feel worse. I don't want you feeling miserable and no one knowing about it. Do you still have some of your prescription migraine medicine left in case it turns into a migraine?

*Michael looks in his pockets and medicine container and starts yelling* Fuck! Dammit. I ran out about a month ago when we were performing in Latin America for the 5 Seconds of Summer Show and had a migraine forming but did not want to tell anyone then that I ran out.

*Ashton starts panicking* Oh man. That's not good at all. What are we gonna do if you get worse and we don't have any of the prescription medicine. Can you check if there are any refills remaining on the prescription?

*Michael checks the pill bottle and sighs* It says no refills remaining and that I will have to contact my doctor to get a refill. Im so tired and my head hurts and I just want to lie down.

*Ashton still panicking* Okay, my only thought is to try and call your doctor in the morning and see whether he can refill the prescription for us. Will you be okay sleeping in your bunk or do you want to come sleep with me.

Michael: Can I sleep with you? My headache hurts and I would rather be close to you in case anything gets worse.

*Ashton leads Michael to his bunk and puts a cold water bottle by it as they both climb in and go to sleep*

*Time Skip to 8 Am the Next Morning*

*Ashton, Luke and Calum are all awake except for Michael*

Calum: Where is Michael? He usually is the first member up of the band and we have an interview in 45 Minutes,

Ashton: *remembers the incident at 2 am and remains silent about it* I think he woke up early in the morning to grab a bottle of Water.  If you want I can go check on him and see how he is doing. 

Calum: Yes, please go check on Michael. I am very concerned about this because he hardly ever sleeps in unless he is sick.

*Ashton leaves the room to the bunks and sees Michael waking up*
