TW: throwing up, crying, panic.... the usualllll

It was around 3 a.m. when Nicolas Sturniolo woke up in excruciating pain. He sat up in bed slowly. Nick rubbed his eyes and groaned, clutching his abdomen, another intense pang radiating through him. Shit. Nick's mouth filled with saliva, and he ran to the washroom, emptying the contents of his stomach into the toilet. Matt must have heard Nick's clamouring, because he came stumbling into the bathroom, a panicked look painted on his face. "Nick? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Matt asked.
At this point, Nick was sobbing. He was in so. much. fucking. pain. "Matt..." Nick breathed out, the ache in his gut getting worse by the minute. "I think something is seriously-" Another wave of sick cut off Nick. "Matt! It hurts..." Nick sobbed.
"I know, Nick. Listen. I'm gonna go get Chris, okay?" Matt ran out of the bathroom.
Nick nodded, resting his head on the porcelain toilet bowl. His anxious thoughts were out of control.

Is it my appendix? Nick wondered, getting more anxious by the minute.

Nick had heard of appendicitis before but didn't know much. All he knew was it was extremely painful on the lower right side. He pressed his hand to his right side and let out a yelp. It was his appendix. Matt came running back to the washroom, Chris right behind him. "I called urgent care, and they said we have to go to the hospital because of how much pain you're in." Matt rambled, breathing heavily.
"Matt, take a deep breath, Nick's gonna be okay," Chris said.

Matt carried Nick to the van and Chris followed behind, a trash can in hand.

"Matt, please hurry!" Nick cried.

They arrived at the hospital, and now, Nick could barely breathe, he was in so much pain. A nurse rushed over with a wheelchair and Nick slumped his sweating body into it. "Hi, honey. What's going on?" the nurse asked, wheeling Nick into a room.
"My stomach, it hurts so bad, I- it hurts when I breathe!" Nick wailed.
"Okay, I'm gonna apply some pressure here..." the nurse pressed on Nick's lower right area of his stomach. When she lifted her hand, Nick shrieked.
"Fuck!"
"Okay, okay." the nurse gave Nick an IV with some meds to help the pain. Once Nick was calmed down, she went over to Matt and explained what was going on. "It looks like Nicolas has appendicitis. It hasn't burst yet, but we need to get him into surgery immediately."
Matt and Chris filled out the information as Nick was getting prepped.

Nick said goodbye to his brothers and was wheeled into the OR.
"Bye, Nicky..." Chris said, wiping a few tears.
"You're gonna be okay, right?" Matt asked anxiously.
Nick nodded, closing his eyes. "I love you..." he slurred.
"We love you too, bud." Chris sniffled.

Matt and Chris stayed in the waiting room, Matt getting more anxious by the minute. "Chris, I think I need to go outside," he said.
"Okay, Matt. Text me if you need anything." Chris said.

As soon as Matt stepped outside he started crying. He was trying to stay strong for Chris and Nick, but he was at his breaking point. Sobs wracked his body as he gasped for air. He found a bench outside and sat down on it, pulling his legs into his chest. Soon, Chris noticed that Matt had been gone for a while, and he decided to go outside to make sure he was okay. "Matt?" Chris ran over to his brother who was crying and breathing rapidly. "Oh, Matt. It's okay, it's okay. I just asked a doctor how much longer and they said he's almost done. Just take a deep breath, Matt."
Matt inhaled shakily. "I-I know, Chris. I just- I'm so worried." he wiped at his tears.
Chris pulled his brother into a hug. "Let's go inside, okay?"
Matt and Chris went inside the hospital, where a doctor waited for them. "There you are!" she said. "Nicolas is out of surgery. He will be back to normal in about 2 weeks, and you can take him home tomorrow."
"Thank you so much!" Matt said.

Nick was sitting up on his phone when Matt and Chris made it into his room. "Matt! Chris!" Nick said, opening his arms for hugs.
"Nick!" Matt and Chris said in unison. They hugged their older brother tightly.

A day later, Nick was ready to come home. He was fully recovered in a week and a half, and was back to filming in no time!
