Liam's POV

"Can we stop for just a minute?"

I glanced over my shoulder to see Niall slumped over in his seat. He was holding his head in his hands and judging by the deep frown on his face, something was up.

"Why, is everything okay?" I asked.

"Jus' need to stop for a minute." Niall mumbled.

"I guess we can, but we can't make it longer than five minutes or we'll be late to the studio." I reminded him.

Niall just nodded so I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off. Niall got out of the car and and sat down on the grass beside the road.

"May I ask why we needed to stop?"

Niall didn't say anything, but instead leaned over and started puking. I quickly undid my seatbelt and rushed over to his side where he was still getting sick. I rubbed his back and whispered comforting things until he finally came to a stop and leaned back against me with a sigh.

"What's got you so sick all of a sudden mate?" I asked quietly.

Niall shrugged.

"My stomach felt a little off last night and I had a bit of a headache so I just went to bed early thinking I could sleep it off. Guess not." Niall says.

"Do I need to take you back home? I can always call the producers and let them know that you're sick." I offered, but Niall just shook his head.

"No, we don't need to get on their bad side. You remember the last time we had the audacity to ask if we could reschedule."

I nearly shuddered at the memory. Harry had sprained his ankle pretty bad when we were playing football right before we were supposed to leave for recording. He was in a lot of pain and we were struggling to get the swelling to go down so we had called a in advance to see if we could reschedule recording but the producers threw an absolute fit and started screaming and lecturing all of us. Long story short we still were forced to go record and then got a second earful when we got there about how we should be more careful.

"True, but would they really want you there if you're vomiting a lot? Plus you could spread germs and make them sick."

"Better to just get it out of the way. I don't think I have much left to record anyways." Niall says.

"If you say so blondie. But if you feel worse just let me know and I'll take you home." I said.

Niall nodded so we got back into the car and started driving. I kept glancing back at Niall to make sure he was still doing okay. Now that I see him, I can't believe I didn't notice before how he looked sick. Heck I should've noticed just because he isn't talkative like he normally is. He definitely isn't himself and I really wish he would've just let me take him home. Almost the entire drive, Niall was coughing harshly. I tried to see if maybe I had any water in my car but unfortunately I came up empty.

When we arrived at the studio I kept a close eye on Niall. The other lads apparently didn't seem to notice that he was unwell, but Niall told me not to say anything. Luckily I was called in to record first so as soon as Niall gets finished recording I can take him home.

My session didn't take very long, but Harry was called in next. I sat next to Niall on the couch who was half asleep. Louis gave me a questioning look but I just shrugged. I wish Niall would just let me tell the others, but I can also understand not wanting that kind of attention.

"Niall you're up" Harry says, coming back in.

I shook a sleeping Niall awake, even though I wish he could've slept some more. The poor guy seemed so confused at first when he woke up. When he finally gained enough consciousness to understand what was going on, he stood on shaky legs and went to go record.
