Louis's POV
I was going to have a seizure. I could feel it coming on, but my head was everywhere. I couldn't deal with people, I couldn't have anyone around me. I knew that I needed help, but I... I couldn't...
"Are you ok Louis?"
"You're looking pale," Both Liam and Nialler said to me.
"Sorry boys. I..." I said before I left them, and I went back to our dressing room. Closing the door, I knew that I was going to seize. My vision began to swim and my hands began to shake.
"Louis?" I heard Liam ask from outside the door. "Are you ok?"
"Louis, we're worried that you're going to have a seizure," Zayn said.
"I... I am," I said as my voice broke and went high.
"Ok. Open this door Louis."
"We need to help you."
"I..." I said before I went over to the door and I put my fist against it. "No."
"Louis. You need help."
"You can't go through a seizure alone Louis. It's dangerous."
"I have... have to..."
"Open this door. Please Louis," Liam begged me.
"Aaaah," I said as I started to lose control of my body.
"I'll get Paul."
"I'll find an axe to get the door open."
"Louis can still open the door. Louis, let us in."
"I'll find the arena's masterkey," Zayn said before he left.
"You shouldn't seize alone Louis. You could get seriously hurt," Liam said, but my vision went dark and I collapsed onto the ground.

My body began to shake and I came to the horrible realisation that I was going to remain awake.
"He's collapsed. He's collapsed, Mark. You can hear him," Liam said and I could hear myself grunting and gurgling. Horrible, horrible sounds.
"Arh... arh..." My body cried out and I could feel my limbs hitting against my body and against the ground. Then my hand found the door and it was banging against it.
"It's locked Paul, we can't get in."
"Is he seizing?"
"Yes, you can hear him."
"Shit."
"I've got an axe," Niall said as my seizure continued. There were lots of people on the other side of the door now, but my mind was swimming.
"...could hurt yourself and Louis."
"We have to do something. He's on his own in there!" Liam cried out.
"Stay calm Liam. You said that Zayn was looking for a masterkey?"
"He is," Harry said. The boys sounded worried.

My voice began to quieten, and the shaking became less.
"Louis? He's not grunting anymore. Louis, can you hear me?" Liam asked.
"Can you hear us Louis?"
"You're ok Louis. Turn onto your side... if you can."
"We don't know that he's conscious Liam."
"We have to do something, Harry."
"I've got a masterkey," Zayn said before a key was turned in the lock.

"Zayn, you're the smallest, squeeze through the door," Paul said and there was pressure on my body.
"He's ok," Zayn said clearly, before he turned me onto my side. My head was still spinning and I was exhausted. People came in and there were hands on me.
"Louis?"
"Louis, can you hear us?"
"Louis."
"Breathe Louis."
"Where's the medic?"
"Is he injured?"
"He doesn't seem to be."
"He's still unconscious."
"He's going to be alright," The voices said, but it was too much. There were too many of them.
"Out..."
"Louis?" Someone asked as the voices died down a little.
"Get... out," I whispered. I wanted to scream it, but my voice could barely get over a whisper.
"I think there's too many people around him."
"Everyone quieten down."
"Yes, we need the medic."
"GET OUT!" I screamed suddenly, but the action took my whole conscious state with it.

When I came round, I was still lying on my side. It was quiet now, and there were only two hands on me. Liam and Emma's, our medic.
"Is he going to be ok?" Liam asked Emma quietly.
"It looks like he will be. He's got some bruises, but no cuts and he's not bleeding."
"Good."
"Hi," I whispered. My voice was raw and really sore.
"Louis. It's just myself and Emma. How are you feeling?" Liam asked me gently.
"So... sorry..."
"What are you sorry for Louis?"
"Screaming. I just... the people..."
"You gave everyone a fright, but they got the message Louis. It's just us with you now."
"Keep coming round Louis."
"I was... con... conscious."
"Conscious during your seizure?"
"Yes."
"Oh mate."
"I could... hear you. And Niall with the... the axe."
"He didn't use the axe, thankfully," Liam told me before an alarm went off.
"Your blood pressure's falling again Louis."
"Tired..."
"Don't fall asleep yet. We need you to come round first."
"Ok," I replied to Liam, and I tried to wake up. I was feeling so exhausted.
"How are you feeling?" Liam asked me again as he took one of my hands into his own. "Does anything hurt?"
"Light headed... tired..."
"Any pain?"
"Just some... some bruises."
"Ok. That's good."
"It's settling again. Louis, I'm going to take you to the local urgent care. We need to make sure that your fluctuating heart rate and blood pressure are not causes for concern."
"They're fluc.. tuating? Liam," I said as I was really struggling to stay awake.
"They are. Are you ok?"
"No."
"Liam, can you carry Louis? I don't want him to stand up."
"Of course, come here Louis," Liam said, and I sat up to help Liam put his arms around me. Liam wrapped one of his arms around my back, and the other underneath my knees. I wrapped around Liam's neck in return as he lifted me up. Holding onto Liam, we walked through the corridors, medical monitors still on my upper arm and my finger, and we began making our way outside.
"It's Louis," Zayn said, and I heard footsteps around me.
"He's really pale."
"Has he woken up Liam?" Harry asked as they walked alongside us.
"He woke up a few minutes ago. He's doing ok."
"That's good."
"Is there anything we need to be concerned about?"
"His heart rate and blood pressure levels are fluctuating, so we're going to get him checked over at the hospital."
"Ok."
"Let us know how it goes."
"I will," Liam said before we went outside.

The hospital staff tested me and they kept me in overnight for observation. I slept for 14 hours while Liam stayed beside me in an uncomfortable hospital chair. When I got back to our tour family, I apologised for locking them out when I had needed their help, but Harry simply hugged me. Then Niall hugged me. Then Zayn. They were all just really glad that I was ok 💕.
"Don't do it again Louis. You need help when you go through a seizure."
"I won't. My head was just... everywhere."
"It's ok. We're just really glad that you're alright."
"You could have been badly injured."
"I know. Sorry, and thank... thank you."
"Come here," Niall said, and they all embraced me in a big bear hug ❤️.
