Liam Payne sickflicks part 2 (Requests open)

Grief and homesick

Liam's pov

We are on our take me home tour. We are currently in LA. I got a call from my mum the other day saying that my nan has passed away. I can't go home to the funeral as we have a concert the night of. I haven't told any of the boys not even Louis who is my boyfriend. I have been going through the days with a fake smile on my face. I think the boys are starting to suspect something as I barely spend time with them at the moment.

I am currently laying in bed wishing I could go home and silently crying. I don't care that we need to get ready to go to the rehearsal for the concert tonight. I just wanna go home and be with my family. I hear knocking on my door and I hear Louis say "Li babe, we need to go." I don't respond because I don't trust my voice. I hear Louis knock again before he says "Li. Come on love we need to go" I still make no response or any effort to get up.

I turn over to hide my face as Louis opens the door. I feel the mattress dip as Louis sits on the bed. I feel him rubbing my back and he says "Li. We need to go love" I look up at him and he says "Hey what's the matter? Why are you crying?" At that I burst into tears. Louis pulls me up and into a cuddle.

Louis pov. Just before

We are all waiting in the van for Liam. He isn't here which is unusual for him. I am very worried about Liam. I say "I'm going to see if Liam is coming." The others nod. I walk up to Liam's room and I knock on the door. I say "Li babe, we need to go." I wait a few seconds but there is no response. I knock again and say "Li. Come on love we need to go" I wait a few more seconds before I decide to use my key. I unlock the door and open it then close it. I see Liam turn over. I sit on his bed. I gently rub his back and I say "Li. We need to go love" he looks up at me and I see the tears that are rolling down his face. I say "Hey what's the matter? Why are you crying?" After I say that he bursts into tears. I gently pull him to sit up and I pull him to my chest. I allow Liam to cry. I grab my phone and text Harry saying 'We will be down in a bit. Liam is upset. Gonna try to calm him down.' Harry responds 'Alright see you in a bit.'

I put my phone on Liam's bed and gently pull Liam onto my lap rubbing his back. I allow Liam to cry. After a few minutes his sobs soon turns to sniffles and I ask "What's wrong love? Why were you so upset?" Liam says "My mum rang the other day" he lets out a sob. I gently rub his back and say "Take your time love. I'm here for you." Liam nods and continues "She said that" Liam stops and shakes his head before bursting into tears again. I gently rub his back with one hand and smooth his hair with the other. Soon I feel Liam getting heavier as he falls asleep. I sigh and gently stand up bringing Liam with me.

I walk down to the van then gently put Liam in his seat and strap him in. I sit next to him and strap myself in before leaning Liam's head on my shoulder. Paul starts driving off. Harry asks "Is Liam alright?" I shrug and say "All I know is his mum rang him and told him something. He couldn't tell me what as every time he tried he just started crying again and then he fell asleep." Harry says "Aww bless him." Niall asks "Are you gonna call his mum?" I shrug and say "It depends. If Liam is able to tell me then I won't." Zayn says "He looks really sad" I nod in agreement.

About half way through the van ride. I feel my shoulder getting wet. I look down at Liam and see him with his face buried in my shoulder. I gently rub his back and he whispers loud enough so only I can hear "I wanna go home." I continue to rub his back.

We soon arrive at the venue and I say "We will be there in a minute. I'll just wake Li up." The others nod and go into the venue. Liam looks up at me and bursts into tears again. I unstrap us both then turn around. I pull him into a hug and he sobs into my chest. I kiss him on the forehead and whisper comforting words.

Soon he calms down and I say "Are you ready to say why you are sad?" Liam shakes his head. I nod and say "Whenever you are ready I'm here." I feel Liam nod against my chest. I say "Are you ready to go in to rehearse?" Liam shrugs. I kiss the top of his head. I say "Come on love. Let's get this rehearsal over with." Liam nods and I lead him to the stage. One of our managers says "Your late." I say "Sorry needed to sort something out." I look over at Liam who is looking at the floor not really paying attention.
