Friends with benefits - Part 15

Isabel POV

It's been a few days since the unexpected incident with Harry and I still haven't builded up the courage to tell Niall about it. All I can think of is why. Why would Harry even go there?

A loud and deep cough swiftly interrupts my stressful thinking in front of the fogged bathroom mirror. I wrap my towel around my newly showered body and open the door to walk out into the living-room.

The deep coughing can be heard again and I walk over to the couch, witch Niall lies all over like a dead body. "You alright, baby?" I ask as I lean over him. He groans and nod his head.

You see, Niall started to feel a bit sick a couple of days ago. I didn't think he would get as sick as he is now. Earlier today he threw up all his breakfast and he haven't eaten anything since, and Niall always eat. The only thing he has managed to get down his throat is a half a glass of Coke.

"-Do you want me to get you anything?" I ask again and stroke his warm forehead. "No, I'm alright." He says and pull his navy blanket over himself. He always try to put on such a brave face. Poor thing.

I walk up to Niall's room and find some of my own clothes. Yes, that's right. I've brought some of my own clothes into Niall's apartment and he has some of his clothes in mine. We have started to just have our stuff at each others places because we always randomly choose witch apartment we end up in.

After all my clothes are on, I can hear Niall throwing up the little he had left in his stomach. I feel really bad for him and decide to walk downstairs again to see if there is something I can help him with.

As I reach the stairs, I can hear him flush the toilet and turns the sink on. After rushing down the stairs, I walk into the bathroom and wrap my arm around him. He just finished drinking some of the water from the sink as he turns it off. "You sure you're alright?" I ask and stroke his back.

He is leaned over the sink with his arms on each side. He just nods with his eyes clothes before he slowly walk out of the bathroom, past me. He walks almost zombie-like over to the couch before he slowly lies down on it.

I decide to follow him and I sit down on the edge of the couch. "I can take care of myself you know" Niall says quietly as he looks at me. I'm not sure if he can, to be honest. He can barely walk.

"Do you want me to leave?" I ask, not quite sure what he wants. "It's nice to have you here, but you can do other things if you want to. Maybe you could go buy some food?" He says with a sleepy look.

I think about it: There isn't much food left in his fridge, so maybe a trip to the supermarket wouldn't hurt. "Ok, I'll go to the supermarket to pick up some food. Do you want anything?" I ask. "Maybe some chips" He says and closes his blue eyes.

"I'll be back before you know it" I say and stand up from the couch and walk over to the front door to grab my car-keys and shoes.

-------------------------------------

I put the bags with food into the kitchen and start putting all the different things in where it's supposed to be. Niall is asleep and I don't want to wake him, so everything I do is done carefully.

I take the chips I just bought and put them down in front of Niall on the table. This causes him to wake up, something I feel really bad about. It is just like waking up a baby. "Thank you" Niall says with his beautiful eyes slightly open. He is probably referring to the bag of chips.

"No problem" I say and walk out to the kitchen again, so he can continue sleeping. "Isabel?" Niall asks a bit loudly, witch causes him to cough. I make my way back to the living-room, "What?" I ask calmly.
