Hammer Head (Niall Centric)

Hello everyone, so this is the second prompt from my list. It is the Migraine one that had the second most votes.

(Sorry about the horrible title btw.)


Prompt One:


All the boys of One Direction are sleeping in their bunks, having a long day of concerts and interviews. But suddenly Niall gets up in the middle of the night and starts to throw up.
But what that comes to is the worst Migraine a teenaged boy could have.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


All the boys of One Direction were laying in their separate bunks. Zayn and Louis on the top bunks, Niall bellow Zayn, Harry bellow Louis and Liam in the top bunk and under him was the junk bunk.
It was around one o'clock in the morning, the boys getting off from a concert at eleven o'clock and then having to do some things for their new album which lasted till twelve. So, the boys literally just got into bed... And all of them were passed out.

Niall didn't know why, but he had the worst headache in history all day long. Having to deal with walking around instead of resting, and then going on stage for a couple hours and having to deal with thousands of screaming fans.
Now, Niall was holding back his screams from how terrible the pain was. It felt like someone was smashing his head in with a hammer a million times a second. Right now, Niall felt like that was the worst pain he's ever had before.
But suddenly the pain became ten times worse, and he started to become motion sick the feeling was that unbearable. And now, Niall couldn't handle it anymore.
He stumbled out of the bunk, hitting the floor hard but the pain of his limbs hitting hard against the floor was nothing compared to the pain in his head.
Niall couldn't stand up, he knew he was going to projectile vomit if he did. So he crawled to the bathroom, not turning on the light but just opening the toilet seat and immediately throwing up violently into the bowl.

The sounds were only Niall vomiting into the toilet, stopping and groaning loudly in pain and then throwing up again.

All the boys were pretty much up at the sound of their band mate vomiting and groaning in pain. Liam was the first to jump out of bed and walk sleepily towards the bathroom.
He saw the the light was off, the small outline of Niall's figure kneeling in front of the toilet in only briefs.
Liam turned on the light expect Niall to be relieved but only being surprised by Niall's scream of pain.
"Shut it off, god please shut it off!!!" Niall screams and Liam quickly shut the light off, and rushed towards Niall, gagging at the horrid smell but kneeling down beside his mate.
Niall didn't stop to look, he just vomited into the toilet, stopped and groaned in pain, and then vomiting once again.
Liam rubbed Niall's back, hearing rushed footsteps coming towards the bathroom. As three figures came into the door frame Liam quickly told them not to turn on the light.
Surprisingly, when Liam did Niall was groaning and telling him to be quiet.
The bathroom was small, so only Liam and Niall could fit in it, but Zayn, Louis and Harry were all watching with worried expressions at their blonde mate.
Once Niall finished vomiting, he slowly moved away from the toilet, Liam getting up and holding his hand out for Niall to grab but Niall didn't which confused him. Niall just slumped against the floor, laying down on the bathrooms floor and curling himself into a little ball, whimpering and groaning in pain.
"Nialler.... What's the matter?" Louis asked from the doorway.
It took about a few minutes, Niall's breath quickening as the pain shot through his head.
"I-it's hurts so much..." Niall moaned out, him taking his hands and pressing them into his head.
He suddenly moved up and vomited back into the toilet doing the same routine as before, flushing he toilet and trying to ease the pain of the sound of the toilet flushing and then curling himself back into a tight ball.
"Is it your head?" Harry asked, they all tried to be as quiet as possible, not wanting to make Niall have anymore pain then he already had.
Niall just moaned a 'yes.'
He was holding his breath and letting it out, like it even hurt to breath. All three of the boys were worried sick and their hearts were hammering in their chests at watching Niall in so much pain.
"I need to go to the hospital. Please take me to the hospital." Niall whispered, his voice was cracking and hard to hear from how hard he was crying now.
Liam looked up at the other three, getting up and walking out of the bathroom to talk to them without affecting Niall's headache.
"He looks to be in pain, a lot of pain. We should go." Zayn said, his gaze flickering to the bathroom as Niall-once again-violently threw up into the toilet.
The boys weren't going to hesitate any longer as they rushed back into the bathroom, Zayn sitting on the ground and waiting for Niall to stop throwing up, Liam rushing to the front of the bus and telling their bus driver to head straight to the hospital. When Niall did stop vomiting, he slumped backwards, Zayn catching him and cradling him in her arms. Niall was still moaning and groaning in pain. "I'm gonna pick you up okay Niall? And I'm going to take you to the front of the bus." Zayn said quietly and slot picked Niall up, Niall was now groaning louder. "Stop! My head!" Niall said as Zayn tried to pick him up bridal style. "Pick him up and let him wrap his legs around your waist, he needs leverage for his head." Louis said, and Zayn nodded, picking Niall up off the floor and letting Niall wrap his legs around his waist.
Niall instantly buried his head into the crook of Zayn's neck, Niall still keening in pain.
Zayn slowly got to the front of the bus, Louis and Harry right behind him, Liam already at the front and watching the road.
The hospital was already in view, and a few minutes later they in front of the emergency department.
Zayn walked forward, Niall still in his arms.
"Wait! It's going to be light in their." Louis said and grabbed a hoody, making Niall let got of him and put on the black hoody-that was probably Zayn's or Liam's-and then taking the hood and pushing it over Niall's head and eyes.
"Okay, let's go." Harry said and they all rushed off the bus and into the emergency room. Harry getting to the front desk first and asking for a doctor.
The woman looked Zayn up and down, seeing the moaning and groaning mess of Niall in his arms.
"Just wait in the waiting room boys-"
"No, he can't stay in anywhere light." Liam said, and just then a very loud groan from Niall's throat ringed through the air.
"We need a dark room." Louis said.
The woman seemed to hesitate but then got up and walked down the hallway, disappearing for a few minutes but coming back and motioning them over and to follow her. "We've got a room, not the best but as dark as a hospital room can get." The woman says and opens the door, the room really was pitch dark and the boys seemed skeptical of going in there but Niall needed that.

They got in and set Niall on the hospital bed, him instantly curling up into a little ball and tugging the hoody down even more over his face.
The four boys sat around the bed, all just sitting in an awkward silence the only sound in the room was Niall's pained whimpers


It was a few hours later when the door to the hospital room opened, Niall instantly groaning loudly in pain.
The doctor closed the door, turning on a lamp, Niall still groaning in pain but the doctor seemed more worried about Niall's health then what he wanted at that time.
"Niall, my name is Dr. Winter. I'm here because I heard you were having a serious case of a Migraine." Dr. Winter said and the boys looked up at him in confusion.
"Migraine?" Liam asked.
Dr. Winter smiled sadly down at Niall and nodded. "I get these all the time, and this one seems very serious if Niall couldn't walk, bare light or speak." He said and the boys nodded knowing that the nurse at the front desk probably told him Niall's symptoms.
"Niall will be alright, he can stay here for a couple hours and then head home. No jumping around, no getting out of bed, and definitely no concerts Mr. Horan." Doctor Winter said and Niall didn't answe but just whimpered.
"Tell your manager that boys." Doctor said and then walked out of the room but came back a few minutes later to give the boys Niall's Migraine pain killers.
"It will be best to keep the lights off, blinds closed the the talk around him to a minimum." Doctor Winter said and they all nodded.
"Hope you feel better Niall." Dr. Winter says and then nods towards the boys and walks out of the room.

It was a few hours later, a nurse coming in and telling the boys they needed the room.
So, when they tried to get Niall to stand up but failed after Niall almost threw up on Zayn's shoes. Liam carried Niall once again towards the tour bus, Niall burying his face into Liam's neck like before.

Niall immediately fell asleep after that harsh night, the boys sending tweets to the fans and to Niall-whenever he'll check his twitter-and going on interviews and telling the fans that Niall was alive and progressing.


-x-x-x-x- AWEEKLATER -x-x-x-x-



Niall laughed at Louis as he yelled at the screen, Liam beating him again and again at FIFA when he was the professional football player.
Zayn and Harry were both watching also, Niall's head rested on Harry's shoulder and his feet on Zayn's lap. It wasn't a surprise that Niall was babied for the whole week, him bedridden for that whole week, all four of the boys literally his personal maids.
But the boys loved it, anything to see their Nialler happy again and laughing. Not groaning and throwing up every minute, not speaking or lighting up the mood in a room.
"Zayn, my headaches coming back, can you help me to my bunk?" Niall asked as the tv screen was starting to hurt Niall eyes and give him a pulsing headache.
Niall was still very sensitive.
Zayn nodded and got up, helping Niall slowly get up which took about almost a minute, Niall having to stop close his eyes, whimper a bit by the dizziness and then proceed to stand up.
"You okay mate?" Zayn whispered, starting to lower his voice by Niall's pained expression.
Niall just smiled lightly and grabbed one of Zayn's arms, Zayn walking him to his bunk and then tucking him under the covers.
"Have a good rest mate." Zayn says and them rubs Niall forehead, walks off down the hall and back into the room, closing the door so Niall doesn't have to hear them.
"Nialler okay?" Harry asks, all three of them playing now.
"Just a little headache." Zayn says and then sits back down and watches his three best mates play their addicting FIFA.
Their Nialler was fine again, and hopefully they won't get a scare like that ever again.
