Monday mornings were never easy for one Mr. Luke Hemming, but today seemed to be even worse when he woke up with a horrible ache in his stomach.

"Luke! You're going to be late! Hurry up!" Luke heard his mother yell from downstairs, he turned his head to look at the clock and saw that it was already 7:45
'Shoot I'm supposed to meet Ashton at 8 to drive me'
"Coming Mom!" Luke three on a T-shirt and jeans a ran down the stairs, forgetting about his stomach for the moment.
"Grab a piece of toast hun" Luke stopped and smelled the toast and his stomach cramped up, he bent down and pretended to tie his shoe laces.
"I'm good mom, Ashton'll have a bar in his car" Luke ran out the front door before she could say anything else.

"Hey Ash" Luke breathed as he got in the car
"Hey, you good?" Ashton glanced at Luke as he started driving to get the other two boys.
"Ya, ya, why?" Luke put a hand in his hoodie pocket so he could rub his stomach without Ashton seeing
"You just look a little pale" Luke wasn't sure how he was going to hide it if Ashton was already noticing that he looked ill.
"I'm fine Okay! Just leave it." Ashton's eyes got with shock
"Geez dude, sorry I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

The rest of the ride to Calum's House was silent.

After all the boys were in the car, and headed to school, they were chatting and singing along to the radio, except for Luke, who was having a hard time keeping the contents of his stomach down and his tears at bay.

Once they got to school, Luke immediately went to the bathroom while Ashton stopped the other boys and told them what had happened in the car that morning.
"I have maths with him second period, I'll let you know if he's still acting weird." Calum said as he grabbed his bag and headed to class.

First period never seemed to end for Luke.
"Mr. Hemming please sit up" Luke groaned and lifted his head to meet his teachers eyes
"Is there a problem?" The teacher said with an eye brow raised.
Luke just rolled his eyes
The teacher glared at him but went back to teaching the lesson.

"Hey Luke! Ready for math?" Luke hated the way Calum seemed so cheery, his stomach was really hurting and he didn't know what to do with himself
"Whatever, lets just go" Calum pulled out his phone to text the other guys that Luke was still acting strange

"Mr. Hemmings, please lift your head up, this is not time to sleep" Luke felt so ill and he was so frustrated with everything
"Why? I'm not bothering anyone. Who cares if I have my head down?" Calum looked over at Luke, surprised at his response.
"Excuse me? Mr. Hemmings please see me after class" Like groaned
"No, apparently I have to listen to you in class but when class is over you can't tell me what to do!" The whole class was shocked to see a usually good kid acting out in such a rude way.
"Please go to the principals office, I'll let them know you're coming"
Luke got up, swaying slightly, and grabbed his stuff
"Fine!"

"Hello Luke" Luke was usually a good kid so the principal had no reason to dislike him.
"I hear you got into a bit of trouble in maths" Now that the adrenaline rush had faded, Luke realized how much his stomach was hurting, it was almost unbearable.
"U-um I-i N-need the b-b-bathroom" Luke was almost positive he was about to throw up and the room was spinning around him.
"Let's just talk for one minute and then you can go" Luke didn't think he could wait that long so he tried to stand up.
"P-please, i-i need t-to g-go" the principal noticed how pale Luke had grown and how tight a grip he had on the chair and his stomach.
"Luke? Are you Alright?" Before Luke could respond, he threw up all over the floor, he grabbed the desk as his world spun around him and his side cramped harshly.
"P-please stop" he whispered
Suddenly everything became black and he fall to the floor.

The principal quickly called an ambulance and told the secretary to call Luke's parents.

Meanwhile, Calum told the other boys what had happened and they were wondering what was going on with Luke and the principal.
"Let's just go down there, Luke's a good kid, they'll send him off with a warning." Calum and Ashton nodded and they started walking down to the office.

When they got in they saw paramedics running in.
"What's going on?" Calum asked, to no one in particular.

Suddenly a gurney was pulled out of the office with a very pale Luke on it.

"What happened!" Ashton yelled
"Boys please calm down, everything's fine, you should head back to class" the boys were in a rage at the secretary.
"GO BACK TO CLASS? THATS OUR BEST FRIEND! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Calum and Micheal looked shocked at Ashton screaming but they knew how worried he must be.

At that moment the principal came out, he knew how close the four boys were and ushered them into his office.
Micheal saw the puke on the floor and motioned for the other boys to look.
"Was Luke sick this morning?" The boys looked up at the principal and shook there heads
"He was acting weird but he didn't say anything about not feeling well, is he okay?" Ashton was beyond worried and he just wanted to go see Luke
"I'm not sure, Ashton you drive correct?" Ashton nodded
"I shouldn't allow this but if you boys want to go meet Mrs. Hemmings at the hospital to see Luke, you are welcomed to.
The boys were out of their seats before they could even thank the principal.

When they got to the hospital, they could see Luke's parents in the waiting room with tears in their eyes.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hemmings?" The parents looked up.
"Is Luke Okay?"
Liz started crying again while Andrew told the boys what happened.
"Luke's in surgery, he had to have his appendix taken out, we haven't heard anything yet."

The boys sat down and waiting with the Hemmings for two hours until a nurse finally called them back.
"Luke was lucky he got here when he did, he's going to make a full recovery, if you guys want to go see him he's in room 208, he's probably sore so make sure he takes it easy" The nurse walked away and the two parents and the boys walked to Luke's room where he was just waking up.
"Hey baby, you scared me" Liz went over and kissed her sons forehead.
"I'm okay mom" Luke rasped
"Can I talk to the boys for a minute?" Liz looked over at Andrew
"Ya bud, we'll be back in a little bit" when the door closed, Luke tried to sit up but winced in paint
"Hey, Hey, The nurse said you should relax." Luke sighed
"I'm sorry for how I acted today, I really wasn't feeling well and I took it out on you guys, I shouldn't have" the boys cooed at their friend on the bed.
"It's okay Luke, just tell us next time, you scared the daylights out of us" Luke chuckled
"I will, I promise"
The boys sat there silently for a few minutes until Micheal spoke up

"It was pretty funny when you yelled at the teacher" Luke groaned and all the boys laughed, they were so happy that their best friend was okay.
