Ross' POV

I smiled and liked it before commenting
Love you too mom <3
I carried on scrolling through Instagram as I got a text. I clicked on it. It was from mom.
'Sweetheart. Why aren't you asleep?'
'Can't get comfortable'
'Oh no. I wish I could help honey'
'Kidnap me haha'
'Hon I wish I could. Security is too good'
I smiled
'That's a good and bad thing'
'It is indeed. You'll be home soon. In your own comfortable bed. With your baby blanket and bear'
'I don't wanna go back to the band house. They pity me too much'
She didn't reply as fast. I tried to get into a comfortable position. Then she replied.
'Come back to ours then baby boy. Me and dad would love it'
'Are you sure?'
'100% honey'
'Thank you. I love you'
'I love you too sweetheart. Now try to get some sleep. Dad and I will be there bright and early'
'Okay. Goodnight. Love you. See you tomorrow xx'
'I love you too honey'
I locked my phone and placed it on the side as the nurse walked in. "Ross? Why aren't you asleep?"she asked. "I can't get comfortable" I admitted. She smiled before walking over. "Lie down" I moved back onto the Bed and lay down. She got the covers and wrapped me in them. She placed the pillows around my head and moved the bed up slightly. I was finally comfortable and I yawned. "There we go. Lights are going out now. Unless you want to keep them on" I was getting more tired by the minute. "Don't care" I mumbled. "It's funny how tired you are as soon as you get into a good position" she laughed. My eyes fluttered and the nurse stroked my hair. I smiled slightly as I closed my eyes. "Good night Ross"

9:45am

I opened my eyes and squinted at the sunlight. I heard the door open and glanced over. "Look who's awake" I heard rocky say. My eyes focused and I saw rocky, Rydel And Ellington. I smiled slightly as I attempted to push myself up. Rocky ran over and started to help me. "Thanks rock" I whispered. "No problem bud" everything was a little bit blurry again but focused fairly quickly. "Hey baby bro. How you feeling?" Rydel asked "just abit tired." I told them, shifting. "Why?" Ell asked. "Didn't sleep well" I yawned. "Oh no" Rydel frowned, kissing my head. "Your hairs a mess" Ell laughed. I smiled as he smoothed it out. "Can we talk alone?" He mouthed. "Guys. I need to speak to Ell for a sec. is that okay?" I asked. Rydel and rocky nodded and left the room.

I looked back at Ell who immediately started crying. My eyes widened and I quickly wrapped him in a hug. "Hey what's wrong?!" I asked "please don't leave me ross" he sobbed. I sighed and hugged him tighter. "I'm so sorry" I whispered. "You can't leave Ross. I-i don't know how I'd cope" he sobbed. I kissed his head "you'll be fine Ell. I promise" "Ross" "you'll be fine" I assured. He smiled slightly "you're my best friend. I love the others but you've always been my best friend." He told me. I smiled "before you replaced me with my sister" I joked. He punched my arm. "I'm kidding" I smiled. He smiled too. "I like your hair like this" he smiled. "Don't get me started. I hate it" I sighed. He laughed "what?" I asked. "You're such a child" he laughed. I rolled my eyes and hugged him. "Thanks Ell. For everything" I smiled. He smiled "thank you aswell. I love you" he told me. "I love you too"

The door opened and mom and dad walked in. "Hey baby" mom smiled "hi mom" I smiled. She walked over and hugged me. "How are you feeling?" She asked. "Just tired" I admitted "Awh honey. Have you took a nap?" She asked. "I didn't even wake up an hour ago" I laughed. She smiled "right okay" she laughed, kissing my head. The nurse walked in and smiled at me "Ross can we do a quick scan before you eat please?" She asked. I nodded "yeah. How long will it take?" I asked. "About 40 minutes. That okay? Or shall we wait until later?" She asked. "I don't mind. I'm hungry though" I told her. "I think we should do it now then honey" she told me. I nodded "will I need to put to sleep?" I asked " I don't think so. You will need to get into a wheelchair though" she told me. I nodded "I'll be right back then" she smiled. She left and dad kissed my head "why d'you need a scan?" Rydel asked. "No idea. Probably just to check" I shrugged. The nurse walked back in with a wheelchair.

"Come on then" she smiled. I nodded as she began to unhook me from the machines. She put a bandaid on my arm where the IV came out to make sure I don't see the blood. I was feeling nauseous after I ripped my IV out accidentally yesterday. She made sure I wasn't hooked up to anything else before helping me up. Everything blurred as my legs buckled slightly but mom and dad caught me and sat me in the wheelchair. My vision cleared and everyone was looking at me concerned. "Are you alright?" Ell asked. "I think so" I whispered. "Come on. Let's get you to that scan"

I was being wheeled down the corridor. "It's cold" I told my nurse. She smiled "it is" "what's the scan for?am I dying?" I asked. "That escalated quickly hon" she laughed. "Seriously" I whispered. "We're not 100% sure it's gone. It's just to make sure" she told me as we arrived at the room. She opened the door.

I was lay on the bed and the doctor put me into the tube.
I shouldn't ask questions.
