You're Just A Daydream Away

Chapter 7

"Niall, I think he was drugged," I said nervously; the realization just hitting me.

The blood drained from Niall's face. I'm sure he was freaking out inside thinking that his best friend had been slipped some drugs. We had no idea what it could have been so we didn't know what would happen. We didn't know if Louis could die or just temporarily be weird. It was scary.

"Guys," Louis spoke up. "I'm fine. Really," he said while stumbling around and slurring all of his words. He obviously wasn't fine.

"Niall, we need to go back to the hotel right now. You go get the others. I'll stay here with him," I said firmly, my motherly instinct that all women had kicking in.

Niall quickly ran off in a random direction hoping to find at least a few people from our group. I forced Louis to sit down and drink some water. I've never experienced anything like this before so I wasn't sure what to do.

As high on what ever drug as he was, Louis looked scared. He must have been tweaking. He was still shaking and sweating really bad. I was hoping the effects of what ever he was on would wear off quickly. I started rubbing circles into his back to try and comfort him and calm him down.

Niall returned with Reese, Zayn, Angie and Liam in tow. Harry and Tia were no where to be found. Angie texted Tia to tell her we were going to the hotel, and Liam texted Harry the same thing. They were most likely together so they'd get back eventually if they ever looked at their phones.

We ran outside, with Liam and Niall practically carrying Louis. The cars were out front waiting for us. Luckily not too many people noticed Louis's strange behaviour. Paul was waiting in the car we put Louis in to take care of him. He'd dealt with this sort of thing before. Liam and Zayn went with Paul and Louis. Niall, Angie, Reese, and I took the other car back. Harry and Tia would have to get a cab when they came back to the hotel.

We all went into Louis's hotel room. Paul carried him in and sat him on his bed. He was staring at the wall and saying random words very slowly.

"His high is almost over," Paul said trying to calm us all down. "He should be okay."

We all went back to our own rooms with the exception of Paul, who stayed with Louis. Since I was staying in a room with Niall now, there was an empty room that the boys had. We all agreed to let Tia, Angie and Reese stay in the room. Well, Tia probably wouldn't be in that room if you know what I mean. Most of the boys' employees slept on the tour buses when we made a stop but Reese got to stay in a room tonight basically just because I got along with her so well.

Harry and Tia still hadn't come back yet, but no one was worried. As soon as we got back to our room, I collapsed into our bed and laid on my back, staring at the ceiling. I was so exhausted. Niall fell into the bed onto his stomach next to me and threw his arm over my waist.

"I'm scared for Louis," I whispered.

"I am too babe, but Paul is taking care of him. He'll be okay," Niall responded.

"How does something like this even happen?"

"People get crazy."

"If anything like this ever happens to you, Niall, I don't know what I would do."

"Don't think about it babe."

"It's hard not to. It scares me so much."

"Stop. Lets talk about something else," he said while I stayed silent. I was so worried. "You did incredible on stage tonight." Still, I said nothing. "I didn't even expect you to speak with how nervous you looked. Where'd that speech come from?"
