You knew your boyfriend had been feeling ill for weeks and had been trying to shift it before their first headline tour.
He had tried lemon tea, painkillers and every possible thing that could help for a cold.
The london show of the tour was on Thursday and you had planned to go to Sheffield and Manchester next week to see the boys preform.
You were just sitting in the house one Thursday night, trying to memorise endless paragraphs of German when your phone rang. It was Reece's dad, you already didn't feel good about this conversation.
"hi jamie! is everything okay?" You asked him.
"um no, not particularly, it's about reece" he said.
You stopped dead in your tracks, "wait, what? what's happened to him? Is he okay? Where is he? Wh-"
"y/n, calm down. It's okay, he has appendicitis and he's just gone into surgery, but he'll be alright" he told you.
You felt relief, but still, he was in surgery in hospital, "What hospital are you at? I'll come down"
"No, y/n you don't have to do that" he insisted, "We're at Chelsea and Westminister in room 227,but that's quite a trek"
"No, it's okay, I'll be there as soon as I can, thanks for letting me know" you said quickly whilst hanging up the phone and pulling your hoodie over your head. You ran to your room, put your shoes on, grabbed your purse and bolted out the door and into your car.
Two and a half hours in the car speeding up the motorway proved to be very tiring. It was 11:30 at night by the time you pulled up outside the hospital. You ran inside the hospital, bolting it up the stairs and into his room.
"Oh baby" you stuttered at the sight of him lying there. A small tear ran down your cheek as you put your hand over your mouth.
"y/n don't cry, please". His voice was raspy and his eyes were puffy, it was evident that he'd been crying. You sat on the edge of his bed, taking his fragile hand in yours. You ran your other hand through his hair and you could feel yourself getting teary again as you felt the ivs hooked up to him.
He wiped a tear that you hadn't even realised had fallen, "no tears babe, I'm not dying" he whispered whilst chuckling. You laughed along with him and swung your legs up onto the bed so you were lying beside him, he put his head on your shoulder and closed his eyes.
You looked up and saw his parents staring admirably at you, you'd literally forgotten they were here.
"How did you do that?" His mum asked you.
"Do what?" You giggled, confused.
"Get him to calm down like that, he's been a right mess ever since he found out he couldn't do the shows. Thank you y/n for coming, you didn't have to" she smiled. You looked down at him sleeping and ran your hands through his fluffy hair and kissed his head.
"love you, reecey"
