Before I start this is going to be a bit different than some other things I write because you aren't going to be in the story but it will be just the guys, lmk what you think!

Zach~ (Zach's pov) I woke up this morning with a slight fever and on top of it some chest pain making it a bit hard to breathe and a cough. I woke up and coughed into my pillow so I didn't wake the boys. I slowly scooted out of my bunk and found some medicine in the kitchen to calm my cough and fever. I sat on my phone and the boys soon woke up and before I knew it we were on our way to breakfast. They boys all discussed what they wanted and then they asked me but I didn't even feel that hungry. "Zach what are you getting bro?" Jack asked, I snapped out of my thoughts. "Oh um I ate before you guys were up." I lied. "Okay." He said onto me a little. I went the whole day hiding my cough and sickness even though I felt so weak and tired. The next day I slept in so late and woke up coughing like crazy, I walked out of the bunks and Jonah saw me first, "you okay bud?" He asked me. "Uh yeah why." "Dude it's like noon and you just coughed pretty bad and yesterday you were acting funny." Jack said. I looked at the ground and Corbyn scooped me up and brought me to the bunks, "Back to bed Zachy." He said laying me down making all the guys and I laugh. The boys followed and Daniel asked, "Zach why did you hide it yesterday." I went to go answer but coughed like crazy and some stuff even came up, it was gross. "Shhhh." Corbyn said still right near me on the floor, he then put his hand on my head, "A fever too Zach?" He said sighing. "Is there anything else wrong?" Jack asked from behind Corbyn sympathetically. "My chest hurts and it's hard to breathe." I said giving in. "Awe buddy you probably have pneumonia," Jonah said sighing. Daniel walked out and came back in with water and medicine. "Take this and get some sleep then we'll worry about a doctor later." He told me. "Thanks guys." "No problem," they all said Corbyn adding on, "anything for our little brother especially on tour." Then he smiled some stupid smile making me laugh before I passed out for several more hours.

Jack~ (Jack's pov) It was currently midnight, all the guys had gone to bed a few hours ago and I was restless. I felt terrible, for dinner we went to a restaurant and something about the food had set off my stomach and I just couldn't sleep. My lower stomach killed me as I swirled around making me uncomfortable, I had a headache and I also had the chills but I was also sweating. I wasn't going to wake the guys up though they need their sleep I don't want to distract them. It had been about another hour of me stirring around when I had a quick urge to throw up. I ran to the bathroom being as quiet as possible, of course Corbyn and Daniel being the light sleepers they are flew after me since I was running. I knelt down and started to throw up, hands gathered my falling curls out of my face and tied them up then started rubbing my shoulders as they stood behind me. I stopped for a second and looked back, it was Daniel. "Hey, calm down. Do what you need to do," he told me with no intention of leaving me alone now. Corbyn was getting water from the sink and medicine from the cabinet. Then I had the urge to puke again. Of course I emptied my stomach some more and heard the other two boys come in. Great now everyone is up because of me. I crossed my arms and laid my head on the toilet seat. Daniel took a towel and wiped the sweat of my neck. "You okay bud?" He asked me. "I feel like I'm gonna throw up again, but I don't want to cause another scene." Jonah and Zach walked back out of the bathroom Corbyn close behind, "Do whatcha gotta do dude." Daniel said making me chuckle. He walked away, "wait Daniel you can stay." I said not wanting them to think I didn't want their help because I felt like absolute crap. I threw up once more and Daniel helped me clean up and gave me the water and medicine then Zach handed Daniel clean clothes he handed them to me and walked out when I was done I was lead to the couch where the boys set up the 'bed of luxury' as they called it. For the next few days they wouldn't leave me alone, every time I woke up offering soup or medicine or ice packs or blankets, whatever it may be.

Daniel~ (Daniel's pov) I went to bed last night perfectly fine but now this morning I woke up and my throat was super dry and my nose was running everywhere, I cleared my throat and then walked out of the bunks to see just Corbyn was awake "Hey Daniel." He said. "Hey." I replied my voice was hoarse wow and it hurt to talk. I made some tea hoping to soothe it, I was also hoping Corbyn would find it normal since we had a tour stop yesterday and we were singing so everyone's voice is going to take a bit of wear and tear, right? I sat down and sipped it and when I said good morning to Zach, Jack, and Jonah who walked out together soon later, it was still rough. As the day went I didn't talk much because one it hurt and two I didn't want them to know I was sick. When I did talk it was simple thinks like okay, yes, or no. I did this the next day too finally on my third day of being sick I woke up with a fever on top of a cough along with no voice at all. Oh no. I walked out and tried to say good morning to the boys but just nothing wanted to come out but scratches. "Daniel...." Corbyn said. I just looked at him he walked in front of me and pushed me gently by the shoulders to the couch and I sat next to Jonah. "Why didn't you tell us you were sick dude?" Jack asked. "I'm not." I tried to say but it did come out, "Okay yes I am," I said barely audible because of me having no voice. Jonah put his arm around me and pushed my head onto his shoulder making me smile. I couldn't talk yet the boys managed to figure out everything, they now all knew about me being sick for three days, having no voice, a dry cough, a runny nose all of it. I slowly drifted to sleep on Jonah's shoulder because I was starting to pick up a fever as well wiping me right out. Jonah set his other hand on my head because his other was around me and my body was hot and I heard him say, "He's got a fever too." The others sighed and then laid me on the couch. I woke up to all the guys with tea and medicines waiting. "Are you any better now?" Corbyn asked seeing me eyes open. I just shrugged, my throat was burning. "Here." Zach said. Handing me something from the table next to the couch. I took whatever thy gave me and eventually I got better.
