avani's pov

phew. feels nice to breath again. i have been tired all day and i keep on getting out of breath over doing little things. and my head hurts. i'm no longer cramping thank goodness. but i think i'm jus experiencing period symptoms. or i might have a cold. i know madi said she wasn't feeling well either.

i pack up my backpack. i take an advil. after i'm ready, i head to find anthony. i feel light headed. i see anthony walking out of the green room. he smiles at me and walks over. i feel dizzy. "hey babe. you okay?" he asks me. i grab his arm. "i don't feel too..."

anthony's pov

avani passes out. i catch her. "i need some help." i yell as i slowly kneel into the ground. i lay avani's head on my lap. then girls come running out of the dressing room. so do the boys and matt and bella. "is she okay?" mads asks. "can we get some water?" matt yells. we walks over to avani and i. "okay everyone else needs to finish getting ready and head to the bus. if you aren't feeling good please let bella or i know." he directs everyone.

i see madi and amelie both walk over to bella and talk to her. avani slowly wakes up. she sits up. "what the hell?" she says. i chuckle. "avani, you passed out." i explain. she turns around and looks at me. "i still feel light headed." she gets out. "matt, some others aren't feeling well as well." bella says. "maybe it's a cold?" he shrugs. "avani you need to drink this water." matt hands her and bottle of water. i help her up. then we slowly walk to the bus together.

"okay guys, no meeting. but if you are not feeling well please sleep in your own bunk tonight and drink a lot of water. we will buy gatorade and juices at the rest stop. everyone else please take care of yourselves." matt dismisses us. i walk avani to her bed. she is going to sleep in her bunk tonight.

she lays down. i give her a quick kiss on her forehead. i walk back into the back of the bus and see no girls. "where's the girls?" i ask. "they all don't feel well." jaden says. damn. this sickness must be tough. all of us bus chill and watch tiger king. this show pisses me off.

"i want to scream!" seb yells. he is complaining about the tv show. "hey guys, we're at a rest stop." matt says. all of us decide to go into the store. i walk in with griff.

"i'm going to get avani a drink and see if they have seaweed." i say to griff. him and i talk. "hey anthony!" josh yells. he is recording. i walk over to him. he is vlogging. i kiss him on the cheek and laugh. "janthony for the win!" josh cheers. i laugh and walk to find stuff for avani and some snacks for me.

"bro you want to pull an all-nighter?" josh asks. i shake my head no. "we have a show tomorrow." i explain. "we have it in the morning then we drive for the rest of the day and we go to a hotel after." josh tries to convince me. i don't give in. we all agree no all-nighter. well at least for tonight.

i pay for all of my stuff and i walk onto the bus. i bought a few vitamin waters for avani and a few diet cokes for her as well. i also bought 4 packets of seaweed. some coke for me, some hot cheetos, and some candy.

i walk back onto the bus. i stop and check on avani. she is fast asleep. i just let her sleep. 4 other bunk curtains closed. i close avani's curtain and walk into the back lounge. i eat some seaweed and drink my coke.

the boys and i get back to watching tiger king. i sit next to griff and chris. i let griff and chris try seaweed. griff likes it and chris hates it. his reaction makes me laugh. i watch the tv again, this show just keeps on getting weirder and weirder.
