Niall ~ Vertigo

Niall shook his head and he stood up. Louis was sitting beside him and he turned to Niall as the other boys kept singing 'Over Again'.
"You ok Niall?"
"Yeah. I'm just dizzy. I'm going to go backstage."
"I'll come with you," Louis said and he got up before he went with Niall backstage.
"I just need a few minutes Louis."
"Are you sick?"
"No, I think it's some vertigo."
"You have just got over a cold."
"Yeah," Niall agreed and he lay down on the floor.
"Are you sure that you'll be alright?"
"Yeah, it should pass."
"Alright," Louis said and he went back on stage.
"Louis, where's Niall?" Liam asked as Louis came back.
"He's backstage. He's getting some vertigo."
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah, he'll be fine."
"This is Kiss You," Harry said, and they started singing.

Once the concert had finished, the boys went backstage and they found Niall still lying down on the floor with his eyes closed.
"How are you feeling Niall?"
"Dizzy."
"Is the vertigo getting any better?"
"No."
"I'll get you some water."
"Thanks Liam."
"Can we help you sit up?"
"Yeah."
"Come on," Louis said and both he and Harry gave Niall a hand to sit up.
"Argh..."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
"Here you go."
"Thanks Liam. I've got it Niall," Harry said and he helped Niall to drink some water.
"We should get you back to the hotel."
"Yeah. But I don't think I can walk."
"Paul can carry you."
"I can. Come on."
"Thanks Paul," Niall said and Paul picked him up. Niall had a nap in the car on the way back to the hotel and Louis played with his hair.

When they arrived, Niall woke up, so Paul supported him rather than carrying him.
"How are you feeling Niall?" Louis asked as they got back to the hotel room.
"Better."
"You need lots of rest Niall. Go to bed early."
"I will Paul. Thank you."
"Who wants a beer?"
"I will Harry."
"Me too."
"I'll skip it tonight. I'll just have a soft drink then go to bed."
"Alright Niall," Harry said and they chatted for a bit before Niall went to bed.

Louis and Harry checked on him later but he was fast asleep. They pulled the covers over him and made sure that he was comfortable before they left the room very quietly, so they would not wake him.
