"Are you sleeping?" I heard Nick's voice whisper the next morning, I had my eyes partly closed so that there was still light coming in, to avoid the nightmares. A small smile crawled onto my face as I shook my head.
"Nope." I replied, my eyes slowly opening to see the blond-haired boy smiling back at me. His arms wrapped my body, holding me against him as he pecked my forehead. "I don't want to go back."
"I know, me neither. But hey, when we get back, you get to record your own song. I mean, that's pretty exciting." Nick replied, me nodding in response as I thought of the song that I was going to record, it was about him. 
"Yeah, it's exciting." I smiled back, before digging my head into his chest.

"GUYS PLANE LEAVES IN TWO HOURS AND WE'RE MEETING DOWNSTAIRS IN 20 MINUTES!" Ryland's voice yelled out, making me groan into Nick's chest, causing him to laugh.
"OKAY!" Nick yelled back, giving me a light squeeze. "Come on bub, we gotta pack."
"Fine." I groaned, he could make me do anything, just by calling me Bub. He sat up, I rolled onto my back, looking up at the beautiful man sitting next to me. "Who told you that you could be that hot?" I smirked, watching him glance over his shoulder back down at me.
"Back at you, Ronnie." He smirked, before climbing off of my bed. I watched him walk around to the door, giving me a smile before he left the room. I smiled to myself before I rolled out of the bed, stumbling over to my suitcase. I felt my head become extremely heavy, as my legs started to shake. Woah, I thought as I fell down to my ass, sitting on the floor by my stuff. I started throwing my clothes in my bag, it didn't take long to finish packing, so I crawled over to my bed. My head was still spinning as I climbed onto it, closing my eyes as I laid down.
"Hey... You okay?" Nick's voice asked as I heard my door open.
"Yeah, just got a little dizzy." I replied, sitting up again.
"Okay, are you good to walk downstairs?" He asked, walking closer to me.
"Yeah, I'll be able to make it to the elevator at least." I replied standing up, stumbling slightly.
"Okay... Come here." He ordered, one hand instantly grabbing at my waist, and the other one grabbed my arm.
"Thanks Nicky." I smiled, pecking his cheek.
"That's okay. You good now?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, just stay close." I smiled back and he chuckled slightly, letting me go.
"I promise." He replied, shooting me a small smile. I followed him and Ryland out of the apartment, walking into the elevator and leaning against my bag as the elevator started moving and my head started spinning again.
"Ronnie, you okay?" Ryland asked as I closed my eyes, nodding slightly.
"Yeah, I'm alright." I replied as the elevator started slowing down. I regained my centre as the doors opened again, leading the boys out and walking out to the ubers that were waiting for us. We arrived at the airport, rushing through customs so that I could get to the gate and sit down. 

Our flight was called and I took a second before I stood up, following the rest of the group onto the plane. I sat down at my seat, leaning my head back and closing my eyes as someone sat down next to me.
"I swapped with Dixie." Nick's voice said, causing a small smile to crawl onto my face. I opened my eyes, to see him smiling back at me.
"You ready to fly?" I asked, watching his smile drop off of his face.
"Oh, I forgot about that part." He replied, turning back to face ahead of us. The air hostess did her pre-flight bit before the plane started to move. I reached over, grabbing hold of Nick's hand allowing him to squeeze it as we started to take off. "Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Ugh I hate this." He groaned, his eyes squeezing tightly closed as his head tilted back.
"It's okay, we're going to be fine." I whispered back at him, smiling up as my lips pressed to his cheek.

The plane started to land, but I decided not to wake Nick, whose head was resting on my shoulder as he slept. I closed my eyes, leaning down so that my head was resting on top of his. We landed, the air hostess appearing in front of us, so I shook Nick's shoulder.
"Nicky, we've landed." I whispered, his head lifting off of my shoulder as we stood up.
"Did you sleep?" He asked, me shaking my head slightly. We started walking off, entering the airport as my head started spinning again. It's okay, Ronnie, just keep walking, I thought to myself, walking back through customs. We got to baggage claim, and I leaned over to pick up my bag. And I didn't stand back up.

Nick's P.O.V
We walked into the airport, I followed behind Ronnie, who was walking slowly. Is she alright? I thought as I watched her, ready to help at any moment. I followed her through customs, noticing that she would lean on benches or poles at any chance that she could. We got around to baggage claim, I grabbed my bag and watched as Ronnie leaned down for hers. Her legs started to shake as her eyes rolled back, she's going to fall, I thought as I rushed over, getting to her as her knees buckled.
"RONNIE!" Josh yelled out as I caught her head, sitting down so that I could rest it in my lap.
"Call 911!" I yelled back at him as the airport staff rushed over, sitting her up and leaning her against the wall. I stood back, standing next to Ryland as we waited for the ambulance.
"You okay Nicky?" Dixie asked as she walked over, giving me a small hug.
"I just want her to be okay." I replied, breathing deep so that I could keep any tears from falling.
"She will be. She's just exhausted." Ryland replied, rubbing my back to reassure me.
"What do you mean?" Dixie asked, Ryland explaining how Ronnie hasn't slept for a long time. When the ambulance arrived, the rest of us walked out to our cars.

"I'll drive, you are not in the right frame of mind to." Ryland offered and I nodded, finally letting myself cry as we got in my car. "Nick, I promise she's going to be okay."
"Mmhmm." I nodded back, rolling my head back. We arrived at the hospital, me rushing inside while Ry parked the car. Josh was already waiting because he rode in the ambulance with her.
"What happened, is everything okay?" I asked and Josh shrugged.
"I don't know, they wont fucking tell me anything." He complained in response. The door opened and a nurse walked out.
"She's okay." She informed, Josh and I both giving a sigh of relief. "Do either of you know the last time she slept?" 
"No, I don't." Josh answered and I nodded slightly.
"Yeah, she's been sleeping about once a week I think, it's been a bit longer this time." I replied, Josh shooting me a weird look from the side. 
"Mm, that's what I thought." She replied, pulling Josh's attention away from me.
"Can we see her?" He asked and the nurse nodded, stepping out of the way so that we could walk in. Her makeup had been wiped off and now there were big, dark circles under her eyes.

Oh Ronnie, I'm sorry that I let this happen to you
