One Direction Sickfics part 2

Harry

Harry coughed into his arm as he trudged down the stairs for school. He felt dreadful. His head was full of pressure, he was congested, his throat was sore and he had this horrible cough. He looked around the house hoping his mom would be there. He knew she wasn't but he still looked anyways. When he knew for sure he was alone he groaned plopping down in the couch. He coughed again and his chest rattled.

       "Jesus," he groaned. He really was too sick to go to school but he didn't feel like not showing up was an option especially with his mom gone. He accepted his fate and just waited for his ride to show up. He ended up dozing off again until he heard the car horn in his driveway. Startled he jumped straight up and realized what time it was. He cursed under his breath as he ran around getting his things together. When he finally stumbled outside he was working on his other shoe and trying to shut the door at the same time. He finally managed to make it to the car where his best friend was waiting for him.

        "There you are curly I've been waiting forever," Louis teased. Louis and Harry had been best friends since they were young. Louis was a few years older than Harry so he could drive given Harry was only fifteen.

        "Sorry I dozed off on the couch," Harry explained. Louis looked over at him studying him closely.

       "You don't sound too great bud, you alright?" Louis asked. Normally Louis was full of jokes but he had his moments he could be serious.

         "I'm sick," Harry told him bluntly.

       "You're not gonna throw up in my car right?" Louis asked only slightly joking. Harry shook his head.

        "Not that kind of sick," he explained before beginning to cough again. He wheezed afterwards which worried Louis.

         "Your mom was ok with you coming to school this way?" Louis asked placing his hand on Harry's head.

        "She doesn't know. She had to go into work early today." Louis clocked his tongue sympathetically but couldn't hold back his cheeky grin. "I'll be fine. Just drive."

        "As you wish curly." Curly was Louis's go to nickname for Harry aside from his usual nicknames that everyone used. He rarely called him by his actual name. The drove in silence aside from Harry coughing which to Louis sounded like they were getting worse. They pulled into the parking lot and Louis parked his car. He had to wait until Harry got done with his latest coughing fit before he got out. "Haz I think maybe I should call your mom and take you back home. You're in no shape to be here."

      "No," Harry protested breathlessly "I'm ok just have to catch my breath." Louis sighed looking at the curly haired boy. He dig around in his backpacking thinking he might have some cough drops for him. To his surprise he actually did. He had a cold a few weeks ago and still had some left over.

       "Here curly. Take these. They should help." Harry looked at the bag and sighed with relief.

       "Thank you Louis." Harry took open and immediately popped it in his mouth.

       "Keep those hidden though. We're not suppose to have them." Harry nodded. He knew he shouldn't have them but he was so relieved Louis didn't follow the rules. "Hey," Louis said gently. Harry looked over at him. "You'll find me if you start feeling worse, won't ya Harry?" Harry's eyes  widened Louis never used his real name unless he was serious.

        "I promise Louis." Louis looked him over before nodding.

        "Alright curly lets get you inside. I've got to sweet talk an art teacher out of a D on my last project so coach doesn't kick my ass," Louis winked. Harry smiled and got out of the car. He stashed his cough drops in his bag and followed Louis inside. He followed Louis over to a table of his friends. He could see Niall and Liam sitting down waiting for him. Liam stood up to meet Louis while Harry sat down next to Niall. Louis whispered something to Liam which got Harry a look from him. Harry knew Louis had just told him he was ill. Niall was too busy stuffing his face with cheap vending machine food to notice. Liam nodded and Louis patted his back before walking away.
