Liam's pov

We are on the first leg of our OTRA tour and we have just finished a concert and it is 11pm and I am not feeling the best. "Can we go back to the hotel now please? I don't feel well" Zayn glares at me "No Liam we all are tired so stop faking. We have a meet and greet soon" I look at Niall "Please Ni, I really don't feel well" Niall shakes his head "No Li. You have tried to get out of these before. It's not going to work" I glare at the ground avoiding eye contact with anyone. I hear someone leave the room but I don't look up to see who it is.

20 minutes before the meet and greet still Liam's pov

I start to feel really nauseous. I carefully stand up "Where are you going?" I hear someone say but I am mad at them so I ignore them and walk out of the dressing room and straight into the bathroom and I see Louis curled up "What are you doing" Louis smirks at me "I'm doing what you are doing" I try to say "But I'm actually..." Louis cuts me off "Give it a rest Liam. We all know you are faking. You were fine during the concert" I glare at Louis "So were you. What make you think they will believe you" Louis smirks again and says "You'll see" I feel a gag trying to escape but I swallow it down. Harry, Niall and Zayn come in "There you two are" My head starts to ache. I hear Louis groan "What's the matter boo?" Louis looks up at them and says weakly "I don't feel well" Niall responds "Oh Lou. You were fine during the concert." Louis responds "I've felt sick all day" Zayn responds "Let's get you back to the hotel to rest." I feel tears well up in my eyes. Why don't they believe me? Louis always fakes sick but I haven't Harry, Zayn and Niall carefully help Louis up and Harry glares at me and says "Can you help rather than just standing there." I continue to glare at the floor trying to keep the tears from falling. I go and open the bathroom door and they leave helping Louis to the van. I let a tear slip but I quickly wipe it away.

About 5 minutes later Niall comes over and says "Come on Li we need to go to the meet and greet" I look at Niall with pleading eyes "I feel really sick please don't make me do the meet and greet" Niall glares at me "I was trying to be nice by forgetting that you faked being sick but you are still faking even though we all know that you are not sick" I look down and grumble under my breath so that Niall doesn't hear me "I'm the one faking maybe you should take a closer look at Louis. He's the one faking I am actually sick" Niall says "Let's go" I reluctantly follow Niall to the room where we are having the meet and greet.

Half way though the meet and greet still Liam's pov

My head starts to pound now and I feel like I am gonna throw up soon. I just want to go back to the hotel and sleep. I feel tears well up in my eyes again. I look over and see there is still loads of fans. At the end of the meet and greet someone says to me "You shouldn't be in the band. You can't sing your holding the others down and your ugly" I feel tears well up in my eyes and Niall quickly jumps to my defence "Don't talk about Liam like that. We would be nowhere without Liam. The fan glares at me and says "You still shouldn't be in the band" I look down trying not to cry. I feel someone put an arm around me. It must be Niall since I am on the end and I lean into him needing comfort tears fall down my face rapidly. I feel a gag escape my mouth and I throw up all over myself, Niall and the floor and I start crying harder. I feel someone rub my back "Shh it doesn't matter Li. Harry, Zayn get your butts here and someone bring a bucket or bin" I throw up again

Niall's pov

Harry and Zayn rush over Zayn carrying an empty bin. I take it off Zayn and put it under Liam's chin. I gently rub Liam's back and I look up at the others "He was sick the whole time. We should've believed him but we didn't" I hear Liam throw up again and I rub his back "Some fan was also very mean to Liam saying he shouldn't be in the band and he couldn't sing and is ugly which is not true." I feel Liam lean on me more and I look down at him "Are you finished Li?" He nods slightly Harry says "I'll go and empty this bin. Zayn can you find a cleaner and say there was an insistent and Niall and Liam can get changed and check his fever" I nod and carefully help Liam stand up "Lean on me Li we will get you changed and back to the hotel" Liam nods and I carefully help Liam back to the dressing room.

I sit Liam on the sofa and carefully pull off Liam's top "I'm tired NiNi. I wanna sleep." I carefully help Liam into some comfier clothes then I get changed. Lou comes in with a thermometer "Harry said you might need this Niall." I take the thermometer from Lou and say "Thanks Lou. I was just about to come and find you." Lou nods and leaves the room. I carefully place the thermometer in Liam's ear and I press the button after a couple of second the thermometer beeps "38.5 at the moment Li" Liam taps me "NiNi" I look at Liam and say "Yeah Li" Liam looks into my eyes "Louis is faking. He told me" I am instantly mad at Louis but I contain my anger for now "Come on then Li let's go to the van and go back to the hotel" Liam nods.

I help Liam to the van. We get in and I say "Get some rest Li" he nods and rests his head on my shoulder and closes his eyes "Louis is faking" Harry and Zayn looks at me "Liam said that Louis told him that he is faking" Harry looks mad "Your saying that Liam is actually sick and we accused Liam of faking and Louis has gone and done what we accused Liam of doing" I nod and say "Yeah but he must have done it for a reason, so let's hear his reason" Harry shakes his head "Niall, Liam is actually sick and Louis faked and we believed him so he got to go back to the hotel when it was Liam that should be in bed resting" We fall silent.

Halfway through the journey Liam begins to wake up. He groans "Ni gonna be sick" I look for something for Liam to throw up in but I can't find anything so I ask the driver "Can we stop somewhere?" The driver nods and pulls into a lay-by. I quickly help Liam out and to the edge of the road but out of sight of the road so the fans couldn't see and do the same thing as they did with Harry. Liam promptly throws up in the bushes and he holds his stomach I rub his back to provide some comfort. "Ni, I need to let it out the other end" my eyes widen "Um do you think you can wait until we get back to the hotel?" Liam shakes his head. I put my hand in my pocket and I find a bag. "Here Li"  he takes the bag off me and I turn around to give Liam some privacy and I stand in front of him just in case. After a couple of minutes Liam says "Ni do you have anything so I can um clean er myself um up?" I have a feel around in my pockets until I found some tissues. I hand them to Liam "Thanks" after a few seconds I feel Liam lean against me holding the bag which he tied up. "Come on Li. I think there is a bin in the lay-by" Liam nods and we slowly walk to the road. I help Liam in the van and I put the bag in the bin. I quickly get in the van and put on my seatbelt the I help Liam to put his seatbelt on seeing he is half asleep.

Once we get back to the hotel I see loads of fans outside. I groan knowing I am going to have to wake Liam up. I gently shake him and say "Li you need to wake up bud" Liam whines and says with his eyes closed "Why?" I sigh "We need to get to the hotel" Liam responds "Carry me please" I gently rub his back "I can't bud there are too many fans out there" Liam whines again "I don't want to walk Ni I feel really sick" I smile at Liam sadly "I know Liam but there are to many fans out there Liam. I'll help you though, but you have got to open your eyes for me." Liam opens his eyes and my heart clenches at the sight of him. His face is flushed with fever and his eyes are glassed over and he just looks sick. I help Liam out of the van and we start to make our way to the entrance to the hotel.

We eventually get to the hotel lobby. Liam is practically falling asleep on me. "He can't be in a room alone, he is too sick. I am gonna stay with him. Harry do not question Louis until the morning when we are all there. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour bug." Harry and Zayn nods but Harry doesn't look impressed about it and I slowly help Liam up to my hotel room stopping in Liam's room so I can grab some clothes for him.

Once we get into my room I carefully lay Liam down in the bed and I grab the thermometer and I put it in Liam's ear and I press the button. Once it beeps I have a look at it and say to myself "39.0." I gently shake Liam. Liam groans but opens his eyes "Li do you think you can stay awake for long enough to have a shower?" Liam shakes his head and closes his eyes "Come on Li, your fever is to high. Let's get you in the bath so we can lower your fever" Liam shakes his head. I sigh and go into the bathroom and run a cold bath for Liam to sit in for a bit. Once the bath is filled up to a decent level I turn off the tap and I go back to the room and gently shake Liam's shoulder "Li wake up buddy. You need to get in the bath to cool down" Liam whines but opens his eyes "I don't wanna go in the bath" I gently rub Liam's arm and say "I know buddy but your fever is too high" Liam whimpers and sits up "Sick" I quickly grab the bin and put it under Liam's chin just in time for him to throw up. He starts crying as he throws up bile and stomach acid I rub his back and say "Your doing so well. Calm down Li, you'll be fine." Liam eventually calms down and finishes throwing up. I put a hand on Liam's forehead. He is burning, I grab the thermometer and gently place it in his ear "40.7 we need to get you in that bath now" Liam goes to protest "Li it is ether the bath or the hospital your choice" Liam quietly whimpers out "Bath" I respond "Thought so" I carefully help Liam into the bathroom and help him strip to his underwear. I carefully help him into the bath. Liam starts crying again. I think to myself 'Sick Liam=emotional Liam' I gently rub his back and say "It's ok Li. Shh you're ok. I need to go and grab you some more clothes ok" Liam shakes his head and pouts "Don't leave me" more tears roll down Liam's face. I gently wipe his tears and say "I'll stay. I just need to get the thermometer. Liam grabs my hand and holds it tightly. "Li I need to grab the thermometer so I can keep an eye on your fever" Liam start crying more "I don't want to be alone" I sigh. "Alright. Let me just call Harry or Zayn."

I grab my phone and I call Harry because he is the one who has the spare key to my room. He picks up on the third ring "What Niall?" I sigh and say "Li isn't letting me out of the bathroom so I can't get the thermometer or some clean clothes for him." I hear Harry sigh "Is that Liam crying?" I nod but then remember he can't see "Yeah, he is so upset" I hear Harry sigh "What room are you in?" I smile and say "My room." Harry sighs and says "I'll be there in five" I nod and say "Thanks just let yourself in Haz"

A couple of minutes later Harry walks into the bathroom and hands me the thermometer he gives Liam a sad look before he says "Can I go back to bed now?" I laugh and nod "Night Hazza" Harry waves as he leaves the bathroom "Alright Li, let's check your temperature" I gently place the thermometer in his ear and I press the button. Once it beeps I take the thermometer out of Liam's ear and have a look "40.0. It's starting to go down Li, you need to stay in the bath for a little longer" Liam groans in annoyance. "The bath is cold. I wanna get out" I gently rub his back "I know Li but we need to get your fever down" Liam whimpers but stays in the bath. 5 minutes later I put the thermometer in Liam's ear again and I press the button "38.2. You can get out now Liam" I help Liam get out of the bath then I put a towel around him "Let's go and get you into some clothes yeah" Liam nods and I help him into the bedroom. Liam dries himself off and I hand him some clothes "Why do I need shorts and a loose t-shirt?" I respond "I don't want your fever to go up during the night Li" Liam nods and puts them on. "Come on then Li, let's get into bed" Liam nods and gets into bed next to me and closes his eyes. After a few minutes Liam says "Ni" I look down at him and see he has got his eyes open "Are you ok Li?" Liam nods and says "My stomach still hurts and I still feel sick. I'm cold as well" I carefully lay down next to him and pull the duvet over both of us and I let Liam cuddle into me "Go to sleep buddy. I will be here if you wake up in the night" Liam nods and falls asleep.

The next morning still Niall's pov

I get woken up by the door opening not so quietly "Louis admitted that he was faking!" I hear Harry say loudly "Harry quieten down Liam is finally asleep" Harry and Louis walks though "I didn't know Liam was actually sick. If I did I would not have faked and let Liam stay at the hotel" I look at Louis and ask "Why did you fake anyways?" Louis responds "I don't know, I am exhausted and I genuinely thought that Liam was faking" Louis looks down and I respond "We all thought he was faking" Louis nods and says "I wanna apologise to Liam when he is awake" I nod and say "Why don't you two sit in here until Liam wakes up" I put a hand on Liam's forehead and instantly pull my hand away "Could you pass me the thermometer please?" Louis hands me the thermometer and I gently put it in Liam's ear trying not to wake him. I press the button and once it beeps I take it out and read the numbers. My eyes widen "What is his fever?" I start to try and wake Liam up and say "40.8. Could someone go and run a cold bath, I will wake Liam up" Louis goes into the bathroom and Zayn walks in "There you are, how's Liam this morning? Where is Louis?" I shake Liam and say "Liam has a fever of 40.8, Lou has gone to run a cold bath. Li wake up buddy" Liam groans but opens his eyes "Niall" I smile at him and say "Hey buddy, we need to get you in a bath" Liam shakes his head and says "I feel fine". I sigh and say "Li, your fever is almost 41 let's get you in a bath to cool you down" Liam pouts and says "But I want a cuddle" I respond "We'll cuddle after but we need to cool you down yeah" Liam nods and starts to walk into the bathroom I follow Liam and see he has already got in the bath. I look at Louis and he responds "Liam striped right off and jumped in the bath" I start laughing and I grab a cloth and start to wipe Liam down to cool him off. Soon Liam's fever must have lowered because he looks at me and says "Ni why am I in the bath?" I smile and say "Your fever was almost 41 degrees" Liam looks shocked. Let's check your fever Li" Liam nods and I gently put the thermometer in his ear and press the button and I see that his fever is now 38.7 "Just a few more minutes bud" Liam whimpers "It's cold though" I gently rub his back and say "I know but we need to lower your fever" Liam pouts but nods. After a few minutes I grab the thermometer and put it in his ear and press the button "38.2, you can get out now Li" Liam nods and gets out of the bath and I hand him a towel and he dries himself off and I hand him his clothes.

We go back into the bedroom and Louis hugs Liam "I am so sorry Li, I genuinely thought you were faking if I knew then I wouldn't have done it, I should have been a better friend" Liam responds "I forgive you, you all though I was faking but you have all apologised and I forgive you all. All of you are my best friends, no the brothers I always wanted growing up." I smile and gently lead Liam to the bed and we lay down and I rub his stomach.

No ones pov

It took Liam 5 days to recover fully from the stomach  bug, in the end Liam was exited to go back to work and the fans were glad that Liam was better and luckily no one else got the bug.
