Your p.o.v.

The boys were all in their dressing room getting ready for their concert, which was in 30 minutes. After about 5 minutes, Zayn opened the door and walked over to me.

I was looking down at my phone, texting my mom, and didn't notice him come out until he sat down heavily beside me, bouncing the couch.

"(Y/n), I don't feel good," he said softly, laying his head down on my shoulder.

That got my attention. I quickly turned off my phone and set it beside me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"My head hurts, and I'm dizzy and cold," he mumbled into my shoulder.

I reached over to feel his forehead, which wasn't warm at all.

"No fever hun," I told him.

He sat up and coughed into his arm, his shoulders shaking with the harsh, dry coughs. I rubbed his back in gentle circles.

When he was done he sat back and laid on my shoulder again.

"I'm sorry your sick Z, it's probably just a cold," I told him, grabbing his hand and holding it in mine.

"But I have to sing tonight," he whined, voice already scratchy.

"The boys can sing your parts. The fans will understand," I told him, rubbing my thumb over the back of his hand.

He sighed. "Yeah I guess so... (y/n) I'm tired," his voice was nasally now.

"Try and sleep for a few minutes love, I'll wake you up when it's concert time," I said quietly, reaching around to ruffle his hair.

My phone buzzed beside me. I picked it up and turned the sound off so it would wake Zayn. The message was from Nia.

Niall - is Zayn okay? We sent him out to talk to you cause he wouldn't tell us what was wrong.

You - he's sick :( I think he's got a cold because his head hurts and he's coughing.

Niall - aw poor lad. He gonna be okay for the concert?

You - I think so, but he won't be able to sing... he's sleeping right now.

Niall - okay, we can do his parts. We'll come get him when it's time to go on. Thanks (y/n).

You - okay... no problem :)

When I saw the boys file out of the dressing room a while later, I gently shook Zayn to wake him up.

"I'm up," he croaked, his voice hoarse. His face immediately crumpled at the sound of his voice.

"It's okay Z, we'll sing for you," Liam said with a soft smile. Zayn nodded, sighing.

Except his sigh turned into coughing. It went on and on. He was hunched over from the force of it. I wrapped my arms around him and rubbed his back until he was finally finished.

"For a while there I thought I was gonna have to go get my inhaler," Harry said, completely serious.

"We gotta go boys," Niall said.

"Come on Zayn," Louis said, taking Zayn around the waist and leading him towards the stage.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of him," he assured me.
