Once Ashton finally felt he was done throwing up for a little while, he shakily stood up and looked around. He was relieved to see that, amazingly, none of the nurses had been around to notice him, and his other two friends were still in the waiting room. He really wasn't feeling well, and was in the one place he hated most; Hospitals. It had been unavoidable, of course. Lilly had been so sick, and her collapsing was beyond scary. The confirmation that she would be okay was worth him having to be here. Ashton made his way back to Lilly's room. Luke was still sitting in the chair pulled up to his girlfriend's bedside. "She fell asleep again, huh?" Ashton said, his voice a little scratchy from throwing up. "Mmm hmm." Luke hummed, still holding her hand, "She needs it anyway, if she's going to be well enough to be released tomorrow." "Yeah." Ashton agreed, letting out a quiet cough and watching Lilly sleep. "You alright mate?" "Yeah, just a tickle in my throat." The curly haired boy lied Luke knew his friend wasn't being honest, just by the fact of how pale he had gotten in the matter of a few hours. But he wasn't going to say anything and risk getting into an argument that may wake Lilly. "Look Ash it's half past nine, and you can't do anything here. Why don't you take Mikey and Calum home until morning?" Luke suggested "You sure?" "Yeah. We'll be fine here." Ashton walked down the hall, trying to ignore the fact that his stomach was hurting again. When it became clear that it wasn't going to go away, he ducked into the men's bathroom. Thankfully, it was empty as he got sick again. Ten minutes later, he got up and looked in the mirror. He was so pale, and he hated it. He didn't want to be sick. He couldn't be sick. For crying out loud, he had two friends waiting for him to drive them back to their houses. Not to mention he'd be picking up Luke and Lilly once she was discharged tomorrow. He got up, going back to the waiting room. Calum was asleep, while Mikey sat next to him playing on his phone. Sensing Ashton's presence, he looked up. "You good?" "Yeah, tired." Ashton sighed "You ready to go?" "Sure. Calum," Michael poked the boy in the cheek "Cal wake up." Calum groaned, whacking away Mikey's hand. He and Ashton both chuckled at that. "C'mon Cal, we're both tired but I've gotta drive. You just need to get to the car and then you can sleep, okay?" "Okay." Calum mumbled, waking up and following his friends to the elevator. Once in the car garage, Ashton shivered, wishing he had thought to wear a heavier coat, instead of the light jacket he had on. He took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the car. Calum wasted no time curling up in the backseat. The kiwi boy making good use of the warm blanket Ashton kept back there. Michael didn't mind, happy to be in the front for a change. Ashton drove to Calum's house first because it was closest, dropping him off. He expected to do the same once he was at Michael's, but the blue haired boy invited him in. "Why don't you stay for a little bit Ash?" Michael suggested Even though the offer was beyond tempting, Ashton just wanted to get to his own bed and try to sleep whatever he was coming down with off. "That's alright man, I think I'll just go home. I'm really tired tonight." Ashton shook his head "I bet. You seem like you're going to pass out any second now. Look, why don't you just stay. I'd feel better knowing you weren't out on the road while you're this tired." The curly haired boy was about to object, but knew that Michael was right. "Okay, thanks Mikey." "Anytime." Michael gave a small smile, and led Ashton inside. "Can you turn the heat up?" He mumbled "Yeah, but it's not that cold In here." Michael frowned "You feeling okay?" Ashton shook his head no, suddenly throwing up into the trash can. "Woah." Michael's jaw dropped, Sure Luke had said Ash didn't look well. And honestly, Michael agreed, but he wasn't expecting that. "You're okay." He soothed, rubbing his friends back, and feeling the fever brewing under Ashton's skin. Once he was done, Michael got him a little cup to rinse out his mouth with. "Why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling well buddy?" "It came on really fast at the hospital, and with everything going on with Lilly I didn't want to be a bother." "You're never a bother Ash. We love you." Michael said, helping Ashton up and bringing the boy to his room. In his feverish state, Ash was half asleep. But once he realized where he was, he started to weakly protest. "That's your bed man, I'll just take the couch." "No way." Michael shook his head "I know you'd do the same for me. Just get some sleep Ash." He didn't have to be told twice. Ashton pretty much passed out on the pillow, and Michael pulled the covers over him.
