Liam Flu

Liam's POV

I woke up early in the morning with the worst headache imaginable and my nose was so clogged up I couldn't even breathe. It was still dark outside so I knew that it was way too early to be up right now. However going back to sleep proved to be difficult when I couldn't get comfortable. My nose was so runny I had to wipe it with my sleeve every five seconds. I felt miserable and all I wanted was to go back to sleep.

After awhile of tossing and turning I finally gave up and went to the kitchen to find some medicine. I searched through all the cupboards going through every single bottle, desperate to find anything that'll give me some relief.

"Liam?" I jumped at the sound of my name, nearly dropping the bottle I was holding.

I turned around and saw Louis looking at me with confusion.

"What are you doing up so early? It's like 4 in the morning mate. " He says.

"Don't feel good. I'm looking for some cold/flu medicine." I reply sounding nasally.

Louis gave me a look of sympathy.

"Aww mate. Here I'll find you some medicine you go lay down on the couch." Louis says.

"Thanks Lou, much appreciated." I say, before heading to the couch.

A sigh of relief left my lips as I plopped on the couch. It felt like every bone in my body was aching and I just wanted some sleep. Soon Louis came back with a his arms loaded down with stuff.

"Okay I found cold/flu, fever reducers, decongestants, and Tylenol. You can pick what you think is better. Also I got a thermometer to see if there's a temperature." Louis says.

"Thanks Lou." I whispered.
My voice was now starting to go out on me as well. My throat is absolutely killing me.

"Open up." Louis instructed before placing the thermometer under my tongue.

When the thermometer beeped Louis took it out and read the numbers.

"101.7 (38.7)" Louis read aloud. "That's a little high. What else feels bad Li?"

"My head and throat hurts, and my chest just feels kind of weighed down if that makes any sense, and I just kind of feel tired and achy." I reply.

"Sounds like the flu unfortunately. Why don't you take some fever reducers and some cold/flu and then just get some sleep?" Louis suggests.

I nodded, too tired to give a verbal answer at this point. Louis popped out the pills from the package and handed them to me along with a bottle of water. I quickly downed the pills and laid back down on the couch.

"Get some rest Liam I'll come check on you in a little bit." Louis says.

*************

I woke up to Louis shaking me awake. I looked at him confused.

"It's almost noon mate, wanted to see if maybe you wanted to try and eat something." Louis suggests.

"I guess so." I reply.

"What do you want to eat?" Louis asks.

"Probably just some toast or something." I reply.

I didn't really have much of an appetite right now but I didn't eat much of a dinner last night so toast sounded like a decent compromise.

"Alright then. Be back in a sec." Louis says as he's walking to the kitchen.

I rested my head against the arm of the sofa. I was still exhausted and felt like crap. I have always dreaded this time of year because I usually got the flu and I hate it more and more each time.
