The boys were at school.

Harry was sat on the floor next to Niall. All the other kids were there too. Harry leant against his friend.

He hadn't had a good day. After first break, he started feeling ill. He had a pain in his ear when he woke up that morning, but didn't tell his Mum as he didn't want to miss seeing his friends at school.

As the day went on, it got worse. He kept quiet.

Not only did his ear hurt now, but he also had a temperature and felt sick.

"Are you ok Harry?" Niall had asked him a few times, each time Harry just nodded sadly.

They were sat listening to stories near the end of the day when Harry started crying. Niall noticed.

He put his hand up and got Ariana's attention. She came over and knelt beside the two boys.

"What's up Niall?" She asked.

He pointed to Harry. "He's crying." He replied, looking worried.

"Aw no. Thanks Niall. Do you want to come with me Harry?" She asked sweetly. He nodded slowly and stood up.

She took his hand, it felt hot and sweaty. They sat on one of the comfy chairs in the corner, away from his classmates.

She sat him on her lap and he immediately rested his head against her.

"Are you poorly Harry?"

She felt him nod.

"Can you tell me what hurts?"

He pointed to his ear, then to his tummy.

"Oh sweetie, that's not good. You're very warm. Do you feel sick?"

He nodded again, and cried more.

"Let's go for a walk." She stood up and carried Harry out of the classroom, down the corridor to the medical room.

They went inside.

"Hi Taylor. Harry's feeling poorly." Ariana said as she set him on the bed. He put his arms up, clingy. She sat beside him and he crawled back into her lap.

"Oh no. Not my favourite Harry." Taylor said, as she put a thermometer onto his mouth.

It beeped and she looked at it. "It's high. Think you need to go home."

"He has another earache too."

Harry was susceptible to ear aches and infections.

Harry whimpered and held his tummy.

"You feel sick?" He nodded.

Taylor quickly got a bowl, just in time before he leant forward and was sick. Ariana rubbed his back gently as he threw up, crying.

"I'll go call his Mum." Taylor left and headed to the school office.

"Oh you poor little thing." Ariana said as Harry stopped being sick. He fell back against her, sweating more than before.

Taylor came back and announced that Anne was on her way. She gave him some calpol and he fell asleep.

Harry was asleep on the sofa.

"Yeah he's got an ear infection. Got some antibiotics. No, I'm keeping him home the rest of the week. Yes. I will. See you soon. Bye love." Anne got off the phone to Robin.

She had managed to get Harry to see his doctor pretty quickly, thank God.

He slept soundly for a while, before waking up, crying for his Mummy.

"It's ok my darling. Mummy's here." She said softly, stroking his hair. He was still hot and pale, but hadn't been sick since school.

He cried again and Anne picked him up and put him on her lap. All he wanted was cuddles and sleep.

"I hate seeing you poorly." Anne said. "Think you better sleep in Mummy's bed tonight."

She felt Harry nod.

Sure enough Harry slept beside her that night and the next couple of nights after that.

Harry slowly got better, although his ear still hurt a bit and the hearing in that ear hadn't got better. So once his temperature had returned to near normal, she took him back to the Doctor.

He was assessed and it was decided that he should have the cochlear implants sooner rather than later.

"That's great news." Jay said, as she sat on Anne's sofa. "How long will you have to wait?"

"They said it shouldn't be too long. I just hope it works."

Harry and Louis were sat on a chair together. Harry wasn't in the mood to play, so he sat in front on Louis as he read him a story. The very hungry Caterpillar.

Every time Louis mentioned an item of food, Harry would point at it on the page, and Louis would praise him for getting it right.

When he had finished the book, Jay took it from him and put it on the coffee table. Harry turned around and cuddled up to Louis.

"Luff you Lou Lou." He said quietly, closing his eyes.

"Love you too Harry." He replied, smiling, as Harry fell asleep. "Mummy. Auntie Annie. Harry gone sleepies." He whispered. He loved cuddles with his best friend.
