**HARRYS POV**
Today Y/n and I were heading back up to Manchester to my mum's because of my cousin's wedding.

I told Y/n we wouldn't have to go if she didn't feel up for it, but she just entered the seventh month of her pregnancy and was feeling a lot better, so she assured me that she was fine to go.

I woke up today to the alarm of Y/n's phone and as soon as I moved when I turned to lay on my side, I knew it. Today was a bad day for my back. Really bad.
My back was aching terribly. The worst day for it to act up like that. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed to get up, but as soon as I tried, my back wouldn't let me and I landed back against the mattress. I grimaced at the throbbing pain hitting me and let out a tiny, pained noise.

„Dammit." I huffed.

Y/n was already up, getting ready in the bathroom. The noise gave it away.

Meanwhile, I eventually got up on my feet, keeping my hands at the base of my spine and rubbed my fingers as hard as I could against my spine and the aching muscles, hoping to ease the pain.

I hated when my back would act up right as I woke up and got out of bed, meaning the rest of the day would be miserable. On most days like these, I would be lying on the couch with a heat pack on my back for the whole day, trying not to move even just a millimeter, but today was different, because we had to leave. I had to be okay today.

I slowly made my way to the bathroom where Y/n was putting on her make up, already freshly showered and dressed. Walking was tricky, so it was more of a hobbling than walking.

I walked over to my side of the sink, gripping onto it for support as I squeezed my eyes shut, hunching over a bit.

„Morning, baby." Y/n said with a cheerful voice, setting her moisturizer back down. I could already see that she eyed me with a frown. „Haz? Are you okay?"

„Morning. Yeah, my back's just acting up a bit."

**YOUR POV**
The second I saw Harry walk into the bathroom, I knew something wasn't right.

His teeth were sunk into his lower lip and he was frowning the whole time. As always, Harry was down playing how much pain he was really in which was a lot. I could tell. We've been together a while, I knew what gave it away instantly.

„How much is ‚a bit'?" I placed my hand on his lower back, rubbing it with the slightest pressure.

Harry swallowed thickly. „Not so bad."

„Don't be stubborn, H." I trailed my hand along his spine and up to his neck, massaging it a bit.

„I'm not stubborn." He breathed.

„Mhmm." I hummed, knowing damn well he was very stubborn. „I'm sorry your back is acting up, baby." I placed a kiss to the top of his shoulder.

„It's alright, I'll be okay."

„Listen if you don't feel up to be going to Manchester, we don't have to. They won't be mad." I told him, seeing the way he was struggling to stand upright.

He shook his head though. „No, we already said we'd come and it's my cousin's wedding. I can't just not go."

„But Harry, it's a four hour drive up there. It's okay if you don't feel up to it. I don't want you to make it even worse."

Harry took the little bottle of pills that was in one of the drawers and placed it next to the sink.

„I'll take some of the medicine and it'll be fine."

I knew how much Harry hated to take medication for his back and only ever took some if he absolutely couldn't bare it, so this showed me again just how much pain Harry was in.
