Prompt- One where Liam gets hurt and he tries to hide it from the other boys and then something bad ends up happening

Liam's pov

We are on our take me home tour. We have our first full day off, Except a concert tonight, and I feel like something bad is going to happen. I don't know what and that worries me. Louis comes into the main area of the bus. "Let's play football. It is nice and sunny outside" Niall responds "Let's go then" The others run outside and I slowly walk outside because that bad feeling in my gut gets a lot worse. "Come on Payno, hurry up" I nod and go over to them.

Harry decides to be the ref. It is me and Niall against Louis and Zayn. About half way though the game. I go to tackle Zayn but before I get to him. I twist my ankle and fall to the ground. Harry and Niall run over to me. Whilst Louis and Zayn go and get the first aid kit. Niall says "Are you ok Liam?" I nod and say "Only a small graze on my knee and elbow. I'm fine" I smile at them through my pain. Louis and Zayn come over with the first aid kit and Harry starts to clean up my grazes. Once my grazes are clean Harry says "Shall we continue the game?" I don't want to so I say "Can I sit out. I'm tired" Louis glances at me worriedly. Zayn says "Are you sure you're are ok?" I nod and Niall says "How about you be the ref and Harry is on my team" I nod and stand up. I try to put weight on my left foot but pain shoots through my leg. I can't let anyone know. I'm sure that my ankle will be fine.

At the end of the game we start to go back to the bus and Niall comes to me and puts an arm around me making me twist the same ankle and almost fall over but Niall catches me "Are you sure you're are ok?" I nod not wanting to talk. When we are on the bus I say "I'm going to have a nap. I didn't sleep well last night." The others but Niall nods and Niall looks at me "Are you sure you're are ok?" I am starting to get really irritated at that question. "I'm fine" I go into the bunk and I sit on my bunk and try to take off my sock but pain shoots through my ankle again so I give up. I lay down and fall asleep.

A few hours later I get shaken awake by Louis "Come on Li time to wake up, we need to go and get ready for the concert" I respond "I'm awake" I get out of bed and we go into the stadium. Niall says "You are the only one that needs to get ready." I nod and go and get my hair done. Once I am done with the hair and my stage make up I go and get dressed. When I try and put my shoe on my left foot terrible pain shoots through my foot which make tears well up in my eyes. I loosen the laces as loose as they can go and put it on my foot and gently tighten them. I whimper slightly and a small tear slip down my face I wipe it away before I go over to the other boys. Niall looks at me worriedly and says "Li why are you limping?" I respond "I'm not" I try to put my foot down and I let out a slight whimper.

We run, well I limp, out on stage as we heard the first note of up all night. I start to sing "It feels like we living in fast forward, another moment passing by, up up up all night, the party ending but it's now or never nobody going home tonight, up up up all night." As the concert continues things get more crazy because Louis starts throwing water all over me. I through water right back at him making sure not to put too much weight on my foot.

Louis starts running towards me with a bucket full of water. I know I will get soaked if I don't run but it will hurt my ankle. I decide that I would rather hurt my ankle more than get appositely soaked. I start running as fast as I can with what I think is a sprained ankle. It feels like everything is going in slow motion. One second I am running the best I can and the next I am twisting my left ankle again, for the third time today, and falling on the floor in agony. I clutch my leg in pain. Louis gets to me first and chucks the water all over me before noticing that I am in pain. "Li are you ok?" I shake my head and say hoping he will understand "Ankle" Louis nods in understanding and helps me to sit up "Do you think you can stand?" I shake my head. Louis helps me up and he helps me to hop over to a stage prop and sit down.

He goes to dance with the other boys and tell them about what happened. I start shivering from the cold of the water. About ten minutes before the concert I am still shivering. Niall comes over to me and puts an arm around me. He moves his mic away from his mouth and says "Are you ok?" I shake my head with tears threatening to spill out of my eyes I say making sure that my mic wasn't near my face and Niall's wouldn't pick up what I say"My ankle hurts and I'm cold because Louis chucked water all over me" Niall responds "I know you are still soaked we only have ten more minutes before the end of the concert" I nod and say "Can you stay I'm lonely sat here" Niall nods and he puts his jumper around me. I smile at Niall. He stays with me until we need to go and do the bows "Do you think you will be able to stand to do the bows?" I nod and say "You have to help me though" Niall nods and helps me up and to hop over to the others. We do our bows.

Niall and Louis puts my arms around their shoulders and help me off stage. We go to the dressing room and they help me to sit on the sofa. Louis takes off my right shoe as Niall tries to take off my left shoe. I can't help but to scream in pain. Louis takes my hand and says "We need to get your shoe off so we can see your ankle" I nod and say tearfully "Please be gentle" Niall nods and says "I will be as gentle as I can." Louis says "How about every time it hurts you squeeze my hand yeah?" I nod and Niall unties the laces of my shoe and slowly starts to pull them right the way out so it will be looser to take off my foot. As Niall takes it off my foot I squeeze Louis hand tightly crying slightly. Niall says "There your shoe is off. Let's get you out of these wet clothes and into your comfy clothes you were wearing earlier." I nod and Niall helps me to take off my top and put a new one on me. I undo my button and zip on my trousers and I start to pull them down. Niall carefully takes them off my left foot.

Harry and Zayn come in with the first aid kit and some dry boxers for me "Thought you might need some dry ones. I nod and the others turn around and I quickly change my boxers. I try to take off my socks. I manage to take off my right one but as I try to take off my left one I whimper " Niall says "Are you decent Liam?" I whimper out a "Yeah" they turn around and Niall takes my hand seeing I'm crying slightly. "Do you need help with something?" I whimper out "Can't get my sock off" Harry gently holds my left leg still, Louis grabs my other hand and Zayn gently grabs the top of the sock and he says to me gently "Are you ready Li? Squeeze Louis and Niall's hands if it hurts" I nod and Zayn starts to pull my sock off. I squeeze both Niall and Louis' hands and I start crying in pain more Zayn instantly stops trying to take my sock off "Li are you ok?" I shake my head and say "Hurts" I bury my face in Niall's shoulder and Zayn says "I'm not trying to hurt you Li you know that right" I nod into Niall's shoulder and Niall says "He nodded" Zayn starts taking my sock off again once my sock is off I hear Harry gasp "Li your ankle is really swollen. We need to get you to the hospital" I shake my head. I hear the door opening and hushed voices and the door closing again. "We need to get to the bus. Paul said that he would get us some ice" I say "I still need my trousers on" I feel someone put my jogging bottoms on me.

I feel Louis and Niall gently lift me up so I don't have to walk. I clutch onto the backs of both of their tops and they carry me to the bus. "How are we going to do this?" Niall says "Harry, Zayn you two can you go on the bus and carefully lift Liam on" they nod and get on the bus. I feel Harry's and Zayn's hands on my shoulder. They carefully lift me onto the bus. Niall and Louis get on the bus and we go into the main area of the bus. We sit on the sofa, Niall is one side of me and Louis is the other, Harry and Zayn are one of the other sofas. I bury my face in Niall's shoulder and grip Louis' hand. Paul comes back with some ice and bandages. "Bandage his ankle and we will go to the closest hospital to get his ankle x-rayed." I hear Paul say. I feel someone gently lift my leg up on the sofa on Louis lap and they put ice on my ankle. I whimper in pain. I hear Niall whisper to me

Niall's pov

As Harry put the ice on Liam's ankle he whimpers. I whisper words of comfort to him. We all hate it when Liam is sick or in pain or upset because usually he doesn't show weakness but when he does it is heartbreaking. " Ni we need to bandage his ankle now. I don't want to hurt him" I nod and say "Li. You need to keep your leg still bud, Harry and Zayn are going to put a bandage on your ankle ok." Liam shakes his head. Louis says to him "Squeeze my hand as hard as you want if it hurts yeah" Liam laughs slightly but nods. Harry gently start to wrap Liam's ankle. He grips Louis' hand and judging by louis' face it hurts. I smile at Louis "You ok Lou" he nods and mouths "He has a tight grip" I laugh. By the time Harry and Zayn has finished I can feel his tears soak through my top. "Hey it's ok, your ankle is all wrapped up. We are going to get it x-rayed at the hospital to make sure it isn't broken" I feel Liam nod and I instantly know he is in more pain that he is letting on because he normally protests about having to go even if he is really sick.

About 10 minutes later I hear Liam snoring softly. I say "Liam is asleep. Is the ice still on his ankle?" Harry nods and smiles at Liam "I hate he doesn't let us in and the fact he always keeps his guard up like when his grandad passed away at the beginning of the tour he didn't tell us for a week" I nod. After 10 more minutes Paul comes in and says "We are at the hospital now." I nod and say "Do they know we are coming? Liam is asleep" Paul nods and says "We are by the ambulance entrance so you or someone can carry him in" I nod and gently pick him up and carry him into the hospital and the others wait on the bus.

A doctor takes us into a room and I gently lay him down on the bed and Liam wakes up "Niall" I gently take his hand and say "I'm still here" The doctor says gently "Right what happened?" Liam looks up at me pleadingly. I gently rub his knuckles and say "You can do it" Liam nods and says "Earlier we were playing football and I twisted my ankle and then we were walking back to the tour bus and I twisted the same ankle and then on stage I was messing around with Louis and I twisted the same ankle as I twisted before" the doctor says "I'm guessing that you hurt your left ankle" Liam nods "Is it ok if I take the bandage off" Liam whimpers I gently squeeze his hand and say "Squeeze my hand when it hurts" Liam nods and allows the doctor to take the bandage off Liam's foot. He whimpers in pain and grips my hand tightly. I gently stroke his hair with the hand Liam isn't gripping. The doctor says "I don't think it is broken. I think it is just a really bad sprain. I am going to get an x-ray set up for you though to make sure."

After the x-ray still Niall's pov

The doctor comes in and says "The x-ray has come back. Your ankle is just badly sprained. We are going to put a boot on it and you are going to have crutches for two weeks. Would you like some pain medication before we put the boot on?" Liam nods and the doctor gives him some paracetamol. After about 5 minutes the doctor starts to but the boot on Liam and he whimpers slightly. I take his hand and he squeezes it. "There done, I'll go and get your crutches and you can go off" I nod and the doctor leaves the room. I look down at Liam and he says quietly "I'm tired" and he closes his eyes and instantly he is snoring softly. I smile and the doctor comes in. "Here's his crutches. He will need to be on his crutches for two weeks but he has to keep the boot on for six weeks" I nod and carefully pick Liam up and the doctor hands me the crutches. I take them being careful not to whack Liam with them. We go out to the bus and I say "Just going to put Liam in his bunk then I will tell you what the doctor said" the others nod and I carry Liam to the bunk room and carefully lay him down in his bunk. I put the duvet over him and he smiles in his sleep and clutches the duvet. I shut his curtains and go out to the main area of the bus. "He has badly sprained his ankle. He is on crutches for two weeks but he will need to wear his boot for six weeks." The others bid and we all decide to go to bed.

No one's pov

About six weeks later Liam is feeling better and he takes the boot off. He is exited when he doesn't need the boot on anymore.
