Ashton's P.O.V.
I woke up with a weird feeling in my throat and as soon as I sat up, I started coughing loudly and badly. No, no, no, no, no! I have to go over to Calum's for band practice today! I felt warm tears form in my eyes, but wiped them away. I had to be there in like ten minutes so I jumped up and got dressed. I grabbed the drum sticks that y/n got me for my birthday. She's so cute.
Some more hacking coughs interrupted my sweet thought of my girlfriend, y/n. I groaned and then stumbled down the stairs before falling on the third step.
"Ash," my mum yelled in an asking tone.
"I'm fine mum," and then I coughed into my hand as silently as I could.
Please say you didn't hear, please say you didn't hear.
"Ok come in here and eat breakfast!"
"I have to go to Calum's for practice mum!"
"Please? For me Ash?"
She came into the doorway and watched as I tried my best to walk to the table. She stared at me with confusion and I just kept walking to the table. I smiled at her like "there's nothing wrong see?" She smiled and then walked back into the kitchen. I could see she was making food for herself. I let out a sigh of relief. I looked down in front of me to see my mum had made me a bowl of Coco Pops.
"Thanks mum," I told her.
"You're welcome Ash. Are you feeling alright?"
"Why do you ask?"
I started coughing. I felt a hand get placed over my forehead which felt really good.
"No practice for you today Ash, you are running a fever. Go back upstairs and lay down in bed"
"Mum I'm fine."
I knew that wouldn't do even the slightest to help me because my mum was very overprotective. I had coughed once on winter and she thought I had the flu so I had to stay in bed for a week because she feared I would get worst if I even sat up in bed.
"Go upstairs please Ash I don't want you getting pneumonia."
I groaned, crawled up the stairs, and got in bed. I crashed my head onto my pillow, kind of happy that I didn't have to sit through three long, miserable hours at practice. Mum came in with a wash cloth and a thermometer. She put the wash cloth over my head and then put the thermometer in my mouth. I let down the only guard a child with a camera-obsessed parent has and she snapped a picture of me.
"I'm sending this to the 5SOS moms," mum grinned.
"You wouldn't."
She grinned even bigger.
"No Mum!"
I reached for the phone, but she swatted my hand away, "Oh it's so adorable when you try to stop me, but you're too late Ash."
I groaned. Now in about five minutes I will have one Michael Gordon Clifford, one Calum Thomas Hood, and one Luke Robert Hemmings over in my room, laughing at me. My phone started ringing so I picked it up.
A-Ashton Y-Y/n
A: Hello?
Y: Oh my gosh Ash! Are you okay?! You sound awful!
A: I'm si-
I started coughing, dropping the phone as I tried my best to cover my mouth.
Y: You sound awful!
I heard laughing in my room as I continued to cough.
"You talking to y/n," Calum laughed.
A: I'll (nasty coughs) call you later y/n.
Y: Ok babe feel better, get plenty of rest. Actually can I come over?
A: Yeah bye.
Y: Be over soon bye.
I hung up.
"I'll (fake coughs) call you later y/n," Michael mocked and then laughed.
"Ok babe like feel better and like get plenty of like rest, I'll be over like soon," Luke teased and then laughed.
I started coughing again, feeling warm tears fall down my cheek as I struggled to breathe.
"We didn't mean it Ash," Michael apologized.
I grabbed my chest, not being able to catch my breath nor even stop coughing.
"Ash are you okay," Calum asked worriedly.
I stopped and nodded, happy that I wasn't being tortured as of right now.
"Y/n's here Ash," my mum called from downstairs.
The boys all laughed. Y/n came in my room.
"Hey how are you feeling," y/n asked.
"Better now that you're here," I smiled.
"Hey your best mates are standing right here," Michael exclaimed.
"You know you guys love me," y/n smiled and then hugged each one of them.
"So what are we playing today," Luke asked.
"When's the last time we actually just hung out and talked?"
"It was before you guys became a thing," Michael said.
"I still don't approve," Luke said.
"Only because you like her and you have liked her since we were five," Calum laughed.
"Come on guys think," Michael groaned, "What are we gonna do?"
I sat up and right as I did, I started coughing again.
"You don't sound so good Ash maybe we should let you rest," y/n suggested.
"Yea I think y/n is right," Calum added.
"Me too," Michael agreed.
"I don't. You are my best friend and I always play with you when I'm sick."
"You're never sick Luke."
"Lies."
"Ok maybe like four times in your whole life."
I coughed even harder and I could see them all frown in disapproval of my nasty, strengthening cough.
"Yea I guess we should leave you alone so you could sleep Ash, we have a concert tomorrow," Luke finally agreed to leave me alone.
"Just lay here and get some sleep Ash," y/n tucked me in.
I nodded and closed my eyes. My mum, y/n, and the boys took care of me for another week before the boys all caught it and y/n had to take care of all of us while my mum was out of town. Turns out we mates had all caught the flu.
