Luke has Appendicitis

Request for MikerowavesBabe

The show was just ending when Luke started feeling sick. The rhythm of the drums behind him was in sync with the pounding in his head and his stomach was hurting badly. All he wanted to do at the moment was burry himself under a mountain of blankets in their hotel room.

The final song ended and Luke let out a breath of relief he hadn't realized he'd been holding. They said their goodbyes to the crowd and filed off the stage into the changing room. Luke's stomach was hurting so bad now and was centering in on his right side. He immediately went over to couch and put his head back. Calum came and sat next to him so Luke leaned over and rested his pounding head on the older boys' shoulder. Calum looked over at Luke and noticed how tired he looked and the slight paleness to his skin. He pushed it aside as being tired from the show they just performed but was still a little worried.

"You okay Lukey?" Calum asked, Luke just hummed in response.

"Tired..." he mumbled slowly, not having the energy to explain his true condition at the moment.

Calum nodded in agreement, "Yeah, same mate. That show was sick though," Luke just nodded.

They sat in silence while Luke rested his eyes and Calum checked Twitter on his phone. The other two were goofing around together and throwing things like fruit and donuts at each other; Ashton's contagious giggles filling the room.

Luke's eyes shot open when he felt the pain in his stomach temporarily worsen. He laid his hand over his side and lightly rubbed it. After a minute or so, the pain lightened a little and he moved his hand away.

When it decided to come back and torture him a second time, he wasn't sure he could handle it, "Cal?" he said quietly.

The kiwi boy looked down at him and frowned at the pained expression on Luke's face. "Yeah Lukey? What's wrong?"

"I don't feel good...my stomach hurts," He almost whimpered when a nauseating jab erupted in his side.

"Are you okay? Do you feel like you're gonna be sick?" Calum asked a little louder and the other two stopped what they were doing and came over.

"Mmm...I don't know, maybe?" Luke said but it sounded more like a question. "Can we go back to the hotel now?" he then asked tiredly.

"Yeah mate, you can sleep in the car and I'll find you some medicine 'cause the ride is a little lengthy," Ashton said and rubbed Luke's arm a little. At the slight touch, Ashton saw Luke shiver and he then noticed the sweat starting to glisten on Luke's forehead.

They helped Luke out to the car and sat him next to the window with Michael on his right to lean on. They arrived at the hotel quicker than expected and a sleeping Luke was carried in through the back doors by one of their body guards. The four of them were sharing one room with two beds (at their request) so Luke was laid in a bed, followed by Michael who laid down next to him and pulled out his phone to play some mindless games. Ashton brought over some stomach relaxers and fever reducers and managed to get a half asleep Luke to swallow them before he went back to sleep.

Luke slept peacefully until about 2 in the morning when he jolted awake in a cold sweat.

His stomach jolted painfully and he groaned loudly. This woke up Michael who was sleeping soundly next to him.

"Luke, you alright?" he asked quietly, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
