Luke had his head against my right thigh, trying to get some sleep. He'd had been up and down all night, barely getting and rest between nightmares and throwing up. He gave a low moan as he shivered gently.
"Rivy, I really need you help," Luke whines, "please?".
I look up from my phone, checking Instagram. Luke's nervous eyes meet my bored ones, I sigh softly as I straightened my posture. Luke gave another low moan as he sat up and buried his face in his hands.
"So, you wanna marry Ashton," I hummed gently, knowing my undertone was motherly.
He nodded as exhaustion began settling back into his body. His hair was messy and his face pale. He then sneezed and whined, carefully holding his throat.
"Luke, I'll help you, but Ash and I are taking you to the hospital," I say in a firm voice.
Luke coughed, shaking a bit as he nodded gently; he knew when to listen. I pack him some pajamas, an extra set of day clothes and his tablet. I had a feeling that Luke knew that I knew why he was feeling so sick.
Strep throat, I think to myself as I help Luke to the car. Luke shivered a second time, then he coughed and sneezed again. I felt bad for him, then I started hoping I didn't catch it!
"Can Ashie stay with me," Luke mumbled.
"He'll be with you until they take you back for surgery, then he'll be waiting in the recovery room for you," I say.
Luke nods, coughing into his elbow again. Ashton whimpered as he crawled into the backseat with Luke, stroking his hair. He nuzzled him as I slid into the driver's seat and began the arduous journey to the local hospital.
~Time Skip~
I pace around the waiting room as Ashton and Luke went back. I was fearful for them and I felt my protective instincts kick into overdrive. I bit the inside of my cheek, as nervousness began radiating through my veins.
"Michael's in for the same surgery," Calum whined as he curled up in a ball. He had Michael's hoodie between his arms, hugging it for dear life.
"Didn't he just have his wisdom teeth cut out," I ask.
Calum nodded, his voice meek as he said, "Just a little over a week or so ago.". He bounced his knee as he waited and as I began pacing.
I shake my head and sighed silently, my mind drifting elsewhere.
How badly could I screw this up?
