Niall Horan Sickfics (updates mostly in summer)

Strep Throat

Niall POV
I woke up with a dry and scratchy throat. Great...just what I need on the day of the last concert before break. I drank some water and grabbed some cough drops to ease the pain.

I started the short drive from our hotel to the stadium in one of the cars we rented. Yes, I drove there by myself, the boys and I dont do EVERYTHING together. Speaking of the boys, I definitely can't let them know I'm sick or they will get all worried and baby me!

When I got to the stadium, I said hi to the crew and everyone that comes on tour with us before meeting the boys on stage for sound check.

"You alright, you look like shit, mate!" Louis said.

"Thanks, that made me feel so good about myself!" I said sarcastically. However, when the boys heard my voice, it being quiet and scratchy, they all gasped.

"What happened to your voice?! It sounds painful!" Harry exclaimed, clearly worried.

"Nothing, let's get o-on with this!" I said quickly trying to change the subject but failing because of a cough.

They all gave me looks, but because they know me too well, they know I won't tell them.

Finally, the show is over! Don't get me wrong, that was one of the best concerts we have ever done hands down! I had so much fun seeing some friends come during Act My Age and dancing like fools. However, I had a massive, dizzying headache, I feel so cold and achy and my throat feels like its on fire! And after all that acting and using my voice on stage, I feel like I'm gonna pass out, literally.

As soon as our earpieces and stuff is off, I go to a couch backstage to lie down before I collapse. I fall face first on the couch in complete exhaustion.

Liam sees and comes over to me. "I knew you were sick!" Liam says softly, knowing I have a headache. Let's just say I'm not very good at lying, especially when I'm sick and disoriented.

"Don't make fun of me! I couldn't let the fans down and miss the last concert." I said allowing my voice to come out naturally, aka super quiet and scratchy, instead of straining my voice to sound right to the fans.

"You could have just not sang and taken it easy! I bet the fans are more concerned for your health." Liam said, "come on, let's get you in a bed to rest"

"What's happened?" Harry asked as he came up to us as we were
about to leave.

"Niall is very sick so we are gonna take him to the hotel so we can slave over him and make him feel better!" Liam says and I groaned, instantly regretting it as I coughed.

"Let's go then, he needs rest. You look awful, mate. I'm gonna call a doctor to come tomorrow. Could get ya some antibiotics to help you out." Louis said as we all got into one car, none of them wanting to leave me.

I accidentally fell asleep in the car but woke up because of my coughing a few hours later. The boys came in during another cough attack. My lungs were burning and my throat felt like sandpaper.

"Sit up and drink some, before you kill yourself!" Liam says.

After several gulps of water, along with some pills that Lou had in case someone got sick I fell asleep again, feeling completely awful.

Turns out I had a very bad case of strep throat, which I found out from the doctor but luckily I got to go home where the boys came to help me along with some friends and I got some much needed rest and medicine. Greg, Denise and Theo even came to surprise me, only to find me a complete mess so I got some help from them too. Luckily I'm all better before the AMA's and a bunch of interviews we have scheduled!
