It was around 9:30 at night and the boys were on their way to their next tour location. All five of the lads were hanging out in the seating area across from the kitchen in the front of the bus. They were playing a game of Uno (a/n I didn't know what else to make them play. Sorry. Lol). They were having a good time and having a laugh. They were being pretty loud (like they obviously always were), except for Liam. Liam was on the quite side this particular evening, but no one really said anything since he was considered "Daddy Direction" and was on the more chill side of the group along with Zayn.
~~~~~
Around an hour later, at like 10:45, Zayn noticed that Liam wasn't anywhere in sight. The other lads seemed to notice as well, but didn't appear to care all that much. They all just thought that Liam needed his space. Zayn, on the other hand, was starting to worry. He knew that Liam wasn't normally like this. Like even when Liam did need his space, he would at least let the boys know, but right now he just sort of dissapeared.
"Imma go check up on Liam," Zayn interupped the rest of the lads' conversation. "He's been gone for quite awhile now." The boys just shrugged again and responded with:
"Kk."
"Okie dokie."
"Yep."
Then Zayn dissapeared down the long bus hallway.
He started off by checking Liam's bunk, but he was nowhere to be found. Then Zayn noticed that the bathroom door was closed and the light was on. He assumed that that's where Liam was. "Ya in there, Li?" There was no response. Zayn decided to open the door and when he did, he found Liam leaning over the bathroom sink, breathing heavily.
"You alright mate?" Zayn asked now very concerned for his poor friend. Liam looked terrible. He was sweating and his completion was white as a ghost. His eyes were also bloodshot like he hadn't slept in like three days. Liam couldn't respond because he was shaking so badly. All he could manage to do was wipe away the large bead of sweat collecting on his forehead.
"Here," Zayn broke the silence as he quickly walked back to the front of the bus wanting to help the poor lad.
As Zayn filled a cup for Liam over the sink, the boys asked Zayn where Liam was and why he was getting a glass of water.
"Who's that for?" Niall asked.
"Is Liam alright?" Harry questioned Zayn.
"What's going on?" Louis piped in.
"Uhh," Zayn wasn't sure how to answer his mates' questions. He was sure he didn't want to tell them that Liam was sick because he knew that Liam absolutely hated it when people knew that he was ill. "We're... um... just about to watch a movie and uhh... Liam's a little thirsty," Zayn lied.
"Ooo, what movie?!" exclaimed Niall.
"Err, it doesn't really matter," Zayn answered quickly just wanting to get back to his unwell band mate.
"Ok," Niall shrugged and went back to playing like the seventy-fourth round of Uno with the other two lads. (a/n Again, I'm sorry. I can't think of any other games for them to play right now. 😂😂)
~~~~~
When Zayn finally arrived back in the bathroom, he found Liam sitting on the floor with his knees pulled to his chest softly crying and a mess left in the sink. Zayn then sat down next to his clearly unsteady friend and started to hug him while whispering reassuring statements such as: "shh", "it's okay", and "you're okay, Li".
After about five minutes, Liam was able to calm down. "Thanks Z," he said as he took the water from Zayn when he was finally capable of speaking again. Zayn was about to help Liam up, but was interupped by a familiar face in the doorway.
"Everything alright in here?" Harry asked with a worried look on his face after seeing the sick still in the sink, two of his band mates sitting together on the bathroom floor, and Liam's wan complexion. With that, Liam started to cry once more. Again he never liked it when people were aware of him being unwell.
"Umm I think the bus is making him feel quite ill," Zayn said softly while rubbing Liam's strong back.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I, I had no idea." Harry walked over to the two and sat on Liam's other side.
"It's okay. I, um, had it covered."
"Why don't ya go get him into bed. I can clean up in here."
"Thanks Haz," Zayn said with a smile. "Cmon Li, let's get you to bed."
Liam shakily stood up and followed Zayn out of the small bathroom. Zayn then helped his band mate change his clothes and get into his bunk. "Thanks again Z." Liam said with a stratchy voice.
"Sure. Anything for you Li." Zayn smiled and turned to walk away, but then added, "I'm here me if ya need anything else okay?" Liam nodded with weak smile. "Night bud," said Zayn as he walked away.
