It was about mid way through the tour and I was woken up by my alarm. I groaned and rolled over to turn it off and then heard Jesy shifting beside me. I looked over and smiled at her, "Morning, Jess."

She smiled at me but just closed her eyes again. I frowned and put my hand on her arm and gently shook her, "Jess? Time to get up."

She opened her eyes and pushed herself up but just ended up lying back down again. I frowned as she began to shiver and then I noticed how pale she was. I put my hand on her forehead and felt she had a temperature. I sighed, "Aw, baby, I think you're sick."

She looked at me and pouted but then just curled up, "I'm cold," she whispered.

I nodded and got up and tucked her up in the duvet before getting a spare blanket out the cupboard and putting that over her as well. I turned the kettle on to make her a cup of tea and then grabbed one of her jumpers and went over to the bed and sat next to her. I got the jumper around her shoulders and then cuddled her, "Guess it's just me and you in this room all day then? I don't think you'll be able to do the show tonight but i'll get your mum or sister or someone to come and sit with you so you're not alone," I kissed her cheek gently and I heard her sigh.

"I don't want to be a burden so if you wanna go out then I don't mind you going."

"No. You looked after me when I was sick. Now it's my turn to look after you."

She smiled a little bit and tried to cuddle in more, "but as for the show, I have to go on. I don't want to disappoint the fans."

"Jesy, you've got a temperature. You can't go on stage," I sighed and she pouted at me, "Don't give me that look, missus, your pout may be cute but it wont change my mind on this one," I laughed bit and leant in and kissed her nose, causing her to giggle.

"Can I nap?"

"Yeah, of course. Is there anything you want? I'll run out to the shop. There's one round the corner from the hotel."

She nodded, "I want some ice cream, my throat hurts a lot."

I nodded and kissed her forehead, "You get some sleep and i'll get your ice cream."

She curled up more and I cuddled her until I heard quiet snores. I kissed her temple and then headed to the shop. I text her mum on the way to ask her to come and sit with Jesy tonight and then I got her ice cream and headed back. Jesy was still sound asleep so I went for a shower and then flicked through the tv channels until I heard Jesy groaning and kicking the covers off. I turned to look at her and laughed. I went over and pulled them off for her and she grabbed my arm and pulled me down on top of her, "Cuddle!"

I laughed and cuddled her tightly, "You feeling any better now?"

"Nope, i'm way too hot."

"Yes you are," I smirked a bit and wiggled my eyebrows. She laughed a bit and then groaned.

"I'm too tired for flirting."

I laughed and kissed her cheek. I got up and got her ice cream and grabbed a spoon. I sat on the bed and began to spoon feed her like a baby. She normally hated this but was just going along with it since she didn't want to hold the spoon herself. I then went and ran her a bath and helped her into it. I kissed her softly, "Just relax in here, I'm gonna go speak to the tour manager, tell him you're not performing tonight."

She pouted at me, "But-"

"No buts. You're too sick to go on stage."

"Please."

"No, baby," I sighed as I watched her well up. I stroked her cheek gently, "Hey, don't get upset. I just want you to stay healthy. And think about it, going on tonight will make you more sick so you'd have to miss more shows but if you stay here with your mum and binge watch something, then you're more likely to get better. Please don't cry though, baby, I didn't mean to upset you."

She looked down and sighed a bit, "Okay."

I smiled and kissed her forehead and then went and turned some soft music on, "I'll be back soon."

She nodded and I blew her a kiss before leaving. I went and spoke to the tour manager and then I went out to the shops again. I bought some flowers and chocolates for her and got a card that said 'To my one and only...' and then I headed back to the hotel.

I sat in reception while I wrote a sickly love message inside and then I went back to the room. I made the bed and put the flowers and chocolates and card on it and then went into the bathroom, "Hey, you. Feeling any better?"

She nodded a bit as I helped her out the bath and wrapped a towel around her. I led her out into the bedroom and watched as her eyes lit up when she saw the gifts on the bed, "For me?"

I laughed, "Yeah, baby, all for you."

She sat on the edge and got the card and read the message before looking up with tears in her eyes. I wiped away a few that fell and hugged her tightly, "I love you so so so much, baby, never, ever forget that."

She nodded, "I love you, too."

"I have to go for sound check but your mums on her way. You want me to wait or you wanting another little nap?"

"Another nap. Text me before you go on, I want to wish you good luck."

I smiled and pecked her lips, "Of course, baby."

Right before we were about to go on stage I text Jesy saying we were about to go on stage. I immediately got a text back,

'You go out there and smash it! Good luck, baby, I love you'

I smiled, all the nerves I had about this show were now completely gone. I knew Jesy was thinking about me and that's all I needed to keep me happy.
