5 Weeks Of Little Mix (5SOS/Little Mix Fanfic)

Chapter 35- A Twist In The Tale

Leigh's POV:

By the time we've all been through several hours of grueling checks and tests, we are finally reunited with Luke and Perrie on their ward.

Perrie and Luke watch as we all walk in and clearly realise who didn't make it back.

" N...no" Mumbles Luke before placing his hands over his face, and starts to cry to himself.

Perrie approaches him from her bed and hugs him tightly stroking his back gently as he sobs. She also begins to let tears fall down her face, but I can tell she is trying to stay strong for Luke.

" Cal's having some checks as he passed out, but....Ash...." Begins Michael, who then stops, unable to speak.

" I can't believe it...." Says Luke silently almost in a whisper.

There's an eerie silence on the ward, and we all go and sit on our beds. None of us are able to speak anyways, so it's the only way to pass the time.

-----

About an hour later a doctor walks into the large room and asks for our attention.

" Your friend Mr Hood is currently in a private room. After several tests, we presume he's just recovered from the major stages of Cholera...."

We all rapidly sit up in shock as the words flood from the doctor's mouth.

" Well..well... he's gonna be okay right?" Asks Luke quickly.

" Of course. Obviously this is a very rare illness in America, but luckily due to our economy we do have solutions to cure Mr Hood. Simply hydration with clean water could be enough" Smiles the doctor calmly.

Well that's a relief I guess. At least we know there's a high chance that Cal can get better.

" I didn't see him ill though... if he had cholera surely he'd be really sick right?" I ask in a confused tone.

Luke rolls his eyes,
" You saw him pass out....if that isn't sick I don't know what is"

" No I mean when we were in the RV he didn't show any signs until recently" I protest, so then I don't look like an idiot by Luke who's clearly taking his anger out on us.

Michael shuffles anxiously, giving me the impression he knows something the rest of us don't.

" That's....not entirely true" Says Michael quietly.

Perrie sits up,
" Well? Go on. You can't not tell us after saying that"

Michael looks at us each individually one by one, before taking a long sigh.

" Fine. The reason you didn't know is because Cal didn't want to scare you. When he was physically sick, he'd go behind the RV. Especially at night" Says Michael, a look of sympathy in his eyes over Calum's sickness.

Great. Another secret that the guys had been hiding from us.

" Anything else you want to tell us or is that it?" Snaps Jade, who's getting frustrated at all these secrets.

" Oh please Jade. Like you've not been hiding anything from the group" Laughs Luke spitefully, disgust flashing in his eyes.

" What are you on about Luke?" Says Jade, clearly sick of all the agitation in the room.

Luke's POV:

" Don't play that game with me. You know what happened that day" I snarl, determined to add fuel to the fire.

I never act this way. However, the pain, anger and sadness is eating me alive, and I need to get rid of it somehow.

" Guys. Calm down. We need to relax okay?" Says Jesy soothingly, standing between Jade and I, trying to ease the tension.

" Calm down? My best friend is dead. Don't tell me to calm down Jesy" I shout suddenly, which seems to startle the group.

Jesy walks away quietly and sits on the end of her bed, without saying a word. I won't lie, I may feel bad about that.

" Don't you dare speak to her like that. She was only trying to stop you from snapping at Jade" Says Perrie defensively, sitting up and turning her head into my direction.

I inhale deeply and hang my head feeling shameful over my verbal attack on my friends.

" I'm sorry.... I'm just finding it really hard right now" I sigh, falling onto my bed and rolling over to hide my face.

Nobody responds, and the room remains silent. However I can tell that all eyes are on me and everyone is looking at me.

" It's not going to be easy Luke... but in time it'll get better" Says Leigh breaking the silence.

I really hope she's telling the truth. I just want my life to be the way it was. I had no troubles, I had my friends, and I had no broken heart.

" Is anybody thirsty? I'm going to see if there's a water machine anywhere" Says Michael, bringing it to my attention that they've still not had any clean water.

The drama and the trauma of recent events must have taken their minds of the fact they've still not been hydrated.

" I'll come with you" Says Jesy without looking me in the eye, walking behind Michael and out of the room.

Great. Now Jesy hates me. I didn't mean to upset her, it's just all too much to deal with.

" I hope they bring like a barrel back to be honest" Says Leigh tiredly, collapsing onto her bed.

"Same Leigh. My head is killing" Moans Jade, placing her hand on her forehead gently.

Just when we think the drama has chilled out a little, a doctor quickly rushes into the room.

" Excuse me....I assume you are all friends of Mr Irwin's?"

We all nod quietly.

" May I ask what this is about doctor?" I say curiously, with a stern tone.

The doctor smiles back at me,
" That Mr Hemmings was actually my next move"

I roll my eyes noticing the slight sarcasm coming from the mouth of a professional.

" Basically...there seems to have been a misunderstanding" Says the doctor, getting our attention just by saying those few words.

" Well?" Says Jade eagerly.

" Mr Irwin..... isn't deceased"
