Narraration:

It was that time again where the boys were on tour. They've been on this tour right now for a couple of months and they loved it. With exceptions of lack of sleep, they wished they could live like how they lived on tour every day.

There were plenty of pros and cons of being on tour though. I mean, the boys got to see their fans almost every day and that was the best pro. They also got to do what they loved as a group of best friends. But the cons can ruin things.

As one of the main cons, they got separated from family. And that was a bit hard for them. Especially Zayn who was very family oriented. But they still talked on the phone with them to catch up or else they would get homesick.

But another con that ruined their time on tour for the people who it happened to was when they got sick. When they did get sick, it was hard to get better. I mean, they had each other to lean on if they needed anything when they were sick or not but the tour was so exhausting for them already.

That meant if they were sick it would be so hard not to just fall asleep during interviews and concerts from exhaustion. And the worst part of all is that this was most likely to come true.

Louis' POV

So I woke up this morning and I was feeling totally crap. I had this feeling in the back of my throat and nose which caused me to let out a few sneezes. Luckily, today we had nothing serious but rehearsals.

There was no hoarseness in my voice when I sang a part in rock me just to test my voice out. So I guess I was good for today. That was for today, and probably only today. Who knew. The next day I would basically be coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose every second.

The thought of me getting sick on tour worried me. Our schedules were always so packed with so many things in a week. We went to bed so late but woke up so early. And if we were sick, that wouldn't help us at all. It annoyed me, but it's what we should have expected.

But what kept me positive through my crappy body was always the boys. We had a special relationship with each other and no one could ever tear that apart. I also had an exclusive relationship with Liam. We weren't dating, none of us were dating each other but our friendship was what made us feel like one big couple. We were always there for each other.

So the day then again went by normally. I felt a bit better but I was still feeling a bit unwell. I didn't want any of the boys to know yet so I just tried to stay normal. I let out about 5 sneezes in total today. I guess I was pretty good at hiding stuff because no one suspected a thing.

So after soundcheck we went back to the hotel to get some rest. Everyone was tired, which only meant I was even more tired. I could barely make it up the stairs but so managed to. At least it was finally time for a well deserved sleep for all of us.

(The next day)

Liam's POV

So it was morning again. And we all had to get up to go to an interview that day. And I wasn't looking forward to it now because when I woke up I felt pretty sick. I may not be a doctor, but I will most likely know what I have. I decided to go and get the thermometer to check my temperature.

The thermometer was kept in the bathroom like always. But when I was walking to the bathroom I saw the light already on and the door was slightly open.

Before I could think anymore I quickly let out a big sneeze that would have scared anyone that was around me. Great. Now my throat started hurting. I just hope I didn't have a fever. Though I really did feel like I had one.

But as I walked in to the bathroom, I looked and saw Louis in the empty bathtub just laying there with his eyes closed in a sad expression with a thermometer in his hand. His head was against the cool bathroom tiles and he had a runny nose.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Not really. I dobn't feel good. And my stomach hurts really bad." he said through his obviously congested voice with coughs in between.

I decided to sit beside the bathtub he was in. He looked so weak.

"Need a tissue Lou? Your nose is running." I said.

He nodded while his head was still layed against the tile.

"Here you go." I said handing him one.

He took it with great appreciation and blew his nose. "Achoo!" Then he sneezed in it. His sneezes were so girly and cute. I gave him another tissue after that one too. It's like his nose was a faucet.

Then he put his thermometer down and I looked at the number that was on the thermometer. 102.5 is what it said.

"Wow that's pretty high. And i'm also not feeling that great either. I have a fever too." I said back.

"I'm sorry Li." he said whispering with the tissue wiping his nose.

"Don't be sorry. It wasn't your fault. Anyways, I need to take care of you. And why are you whispering?" I asked.

"I lost my voice and it hurts to--" and then he went in to a coughing fit.

I rubbed his back as he got the itchiness out of his system. Though to be honest it didn't seem like that was gonna happen for now. Then he finally stopped 25 seconds after but he had a pale green tint to him.

"Hey are you guys ok?" Zayn said walking in with Niall and Harry.

"Lou's not feeling too good." I said still rubbing Louis' backt his head in his hands..

"We can tell you aren't feeling good either. Both of you lie down. Well get you guys some stuff." Harry said.

I expected Harry to say that. He always knew when I was under the weather. I also seemed to be losing my voice a bit so it was pretty obvious. Then all of a sudden Louis started coughing again, but he started gagging right after.

"You ok Lou?" Niall asked crouching down beside me looking at the boy.

Then all of a sudden Louis turned around, switched positions so he was facing the drain in the tub, and he vomited just over the drain since he was already in the bathtub. Luckily he got no puke on himself.

I felt so bad for the lad. He was gently shaking as the contents of his stomach rose up his throat. And it must have burned really bad because of how much he was coughing earlier.

Niall started rubbing his back and I was already feeling pretty sick myself so Louis puking wasn't helping me at all. Normally I would be the one to take care of a sick Louis, or a sick Zayn, or a sick Niall, or a sick Harry. But I couldn't this time because I was already sick.

I defenetly wasn't as sick as Louis but I was sick. Harry started helping Louis too and Zayn walked over to me.

"Li, babe, you go rest in bed while we take care of Lou. I know you feel sick." Zayn said to me as he helped me get off the floor.

Then we entered my room and Zayn was being so nice and sympathetic. He knew I needed help and that I was feeling sick myself.

"I'll be back soon. I'll be helping Louis but you go and get some rest. You look really exhausted." he said while kissing my forehead.

"Thanks." I said with a raspy lost whisper.

"And don't talk. Text me if you need anything." he said as he walked out.

I gave him a thumbs up as an ok. At least now I could sleep. My only problem was that we had an interview at 3:00 PM. Right now it was 10:00 AM but we didn't know how much time me and Louis were gonna need to get better or if we were even going to that interview now.
