"She's going to need lots of bed rest, stress like this can-" he stopped and I knew why he stopped. His big green eyes met mine and he smiled. "You're awake"

When I looked around the room I wasn't looking at the walls of the tour bus but better yet the walls of a hospital room. I had an IV in my arm and in the room was Jaime and Matty. They looked scared which made me worried.

"Awake?" I questioned as I tried to sit up. Truthfully my body felt heavy and my attempt to get up was a completely failure resulting in my just lying back down. "Why can't I get up?"

"You're weak" Jamie exhaled walking over to me. "Listen to me"

"Why am I here?" I asked not recalling the events from last night at all. It was all just a blur.

"You're here Miss Ortiz because you fainted. Normally you wouldn't be here for that but you're special" the green eyed doctor smiled as he approached me. "Your body was so dehydrated and very low on nutritions"

"Abigail" Matty frowned. "It's been decided that you'll sit out till the new year"

"Decided by who?" I asked then looked at Jaimie. "Hey I'm fine. I missed a few meals it happens"

"No Abigail it doesn't" Jamie said then looked at Matty. "Can you please go get everyone else?"

Matty just nodded and walked out. He seemed so hurt but I couldn't understand why. Once he left the room Jamie grabbed my hand and kissed my temple.

"You passed out in front of George, we cut the show early and brought you here. You were just as pale as Adam and your breathing was light. We had them sedate you because you haven't been getting any sleep at all Abigail" Jamie explained as he gripped my hand. "It has been decided by me that you're going to take the rest of December to rest, you don't get a say"

"Jamie please I'm fine" I pleaded but he is who he is and anybody's health comes before this tour. "What did George say?"

"We think you're clinically depressed" the doctor said before Jamie could. "We know you had a panic attack and-"

"We just know you're not yourself" Jamie sighed cutting him off just as Matty walked in with his mom and my dad and Isis.

"Great" I mumbled under my breath. Leave it to Jamie and Matty to call the Calvary when times get tough.

"How are you feeling babe?" Isis huffed as she rushes towards me practically knocking over the doctor. "God I knew this was a bad idea"

"I'm ready to leave" I said glaring at the doctor. "When will that be?"

"You are scheduled to be released later today, were just waiting for some test results but I'm advising that you take a long break from work" the doctor said then smiled. "I'll be back later, take my advice Abigail"

"She will" Matty spoke for me.

As the doctor left everyone else got comfortable. Jamie was still beside me on the bed holding my hand and Isis was on the other side pulling up a chair. My dad and Matty's mom were standing at the foot of my bed with Matty, they had the most worried look in their faces. It was tragic.

"Guys really I'm fine" I sighed because just looking at their faces made me want to scream. I hate when people pity me.

"You're not" Denise growled hitting my foot. "You constantly worry about everyone else but yourself, it is time for us to worry about you. You know that you are more than welcome to stay with me for the rest of the month, Louis would adore that"
