Harry: Fever Dreams (1)

Louis POV

Harry had been feeling sick yesterday, going to bed with a fever and a cough. He was very restless last night, but seemed to calm down and actually sleep around 4am. I woke up around 8am, and he was still sleeping, so I let him.

I showered and got dressed, then I went downstairs and made myself breakfast. I made two cups of tea, one for me and one for Harry when he wakes up. Tea usually calms his cough, so that was my aim. When I walked into our bedroom I noticed that he was awake, knees pulled to his chest and he was crying.

"Oh darling what's wrong?" I asked, sitting down next to him. He flinched when I tried to touch his shoulder, shuffling away from me. I could feel the heat off of him, so I knew he had a fever. "Baby?"

"Where's Louis? And what is that?" He pointed to the corner of the room, where there was nothing there. I tried to move closer to him, but he moved so he was on the edge of the bed and I didn't want him falling.

"What? Babe there's nothing over there. And I'm right here?" I questioned, slightly confused by his actions.

"Don't play games with me!" He snapped, standing up now, slightly swaying, having to grab onto the nightstand to steady himself. I tried to inch closer to him to make sure he didn't fall, but he wouldn't let me. "Louis was here. He was here!"

"Haz please, I'm right here." I said, tears welling up in my eyes. I was so confused, but then I thought it must be the fever. "Can you at least sit down darling?"

"Don't call me that! Only Louis can call me that!" He said more angrily and then he started to make his way downstairs. I followed close behind in case he fell. He proceeded to the living room, sitting in the corner on the floor. He was safe for now so I called Liam, who was in fact a doctor and was only about 5 minutes away.

"Liam?" I said, my voice very shaky.

"Lou? What's up? Why are you calling me this early in the morning?" He said groggily, almost as if he just woke up.

"It's Harry. He's been feeling ill the past few days, but this morning he woke up with a fever and seems to be delirious. He's hallucinating things and doesn't think I'm here. Please Li I'm scared."

"Okay, okay." I heard shuffling around on the other end of the line. "I'm on my way and bringing Niall. Is he safe at least?"

"Yea he's sitting on the floor in the corner of the room. He'll twitch every now and again, like he is seeing things."

"That's normal for very high fever. We'll be there in a few." We said our goodbyes and hung up. I went back to the living room and sat on the couch, watching Harry carefully, as I didn't want to get too close to him in case I scared him. Now I waited for Liam and Niall to arrive.
