Louis curled up in bed bringing his knees up to his stomach that flipped around threatening to send up its contents again. He and the boys had plans to go out that night, and with you gone Louis just wanted out of the house. However he felt dreadful and didn't think he'd be going anywhere. He reached over and grabbed his phone calling Liam so that he could cancel.
"Hey Tommo," Liam said happily.
"Hey I'm not gonna make it tonight," Louis said weakly.
"Why not? What's wrong?" Liam asked.
"I'm pretty sick," Louis explained.
"What's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts something awful. I've been throwing up all night. I'm achy and I've got chills. I'm just a mess," Louis explained. Liam paused on the other end.
"You gonna be ok?" Liam asked.
"Yeah I guess so," Louis replied.
"Alright buddy, take it easy."
"Thanks Payno, bye."
"Bye, Louis." Louis hung up and curled back up in a ball. His stomach turned and bubbled and Louis knew what came next. He stood up slowly making his way to the bathroom. He knelt down in front of the toilet and started breathing heavy. He put his head down on the toilet seat and closed his eyes. He wasn't sure how long he sat there but all of a sudden he felt a hand on his back. He looked up and saw Liam giving him a sympathetic look.
"Liam," he said weakly.
"Don't talk, just relax," Liam said softly.
"I don't want to throw up," Louis cried. He gagged but then swallowed hard.
"Don't hold it in Lou, you'll feel better," Liam said rubbing his back. Louis stomach lurched up his throat causing his body to jolt into the toilet. "There you go," Liam whispered.
"Why are you here?" Louis asked when his stomach gave him a break.
"Didn't like that you were all alone," Liam explained. Louis heaved into the bowl again.
"What about tonight?" Louis asked.
"We can reschedule. I already called the others." Louis gagged again.
"God, that's fowl," Louis grimace.
"Nearly there mate," Liam reassured him. Louis took a deep breath and his stomach relaxed.
"Think I'm done," Louis said hoarsely. Liam helped him get cleaned up and took him back to bed.
"I'm gonna get you some water, mate," Liam told him. Louis nodded. Liam went and grabbed him some water and some medicine for his stomach. "Here mate," Liam said handing Louis the cup of pink liquid. Louis drank it then took a sip of water.
"Thanks Liam," Louis said softly.
"Course mate. You want me to stay?"
"Would you?" Liam smiled and nodded. "Will you lay with me?" he asked with sad eyes. Liam chuckled and crawled into bed with him, wrapping his strong arms around Louis protectively. He rubbed circles in Louis's sour tummy trying to calm it down.
"Good?" He asked. Louis just sighed contently. He fell asleep not long after that. Liam stayed with him all night. When Louis woke up the next morning he was feeling a big better. He looked around for Liam but he wasn't in the room. He stood up and walked out to the living room. He found Liam in the kitchen.
"Li," Louis called. Liam looked up.
"Morning Tommo. Figured I'd make you some toast. You need to eat." Louis nodded and sat on the couch while Liam brought it over to him. He ate it with no problem and laid down. "You feeling ok?" Liam asked. Louis nodded.
"Just tired now."
"Tired is better than nauseous. I'll take it." Louis smiled.
"Thanks for staying with me Liam," Louis said. Liam smiled.
"Course bro. Glad you're feeling better. Y/N gets home today yeah?"
"Yeah, should be home this afternoon," Louis explained.
"Awesome, I'll let you get some rest and get out of here before she gets home." Liam stood up.
"Thanks again Liam," Louis said. Liam nodded.
"Call if you need anything." Louis nodded. Liam left and Louis went back to sleep. He slept until you got home and you looked after him until he was fully recovered.
