The boys drove though New York making their way to a party. It was New Year's Eve and the boys were really looking forward to starting this year with a bang. Everyone except for Louis. He hadn't been feeling himself that day. His head ached and he was tired he really just wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep.
"Hey lads, do you think I can duck out of this party? I'm actually pretty tired," Louis explained.
"What? Tired, come on Lou. It's New Year's Eve. No way you're not going," Niall chuckled.
"But..."
"Come on Lou. You never pass up a party. You'll get there and have a blast," Liam added. Louis sighed and sat back in his seat. They pulled up the house and parked the car.
"Come on Lou. It'll be fun," Harry smiled. Louis forced a smiled and got out with them. They walked into the house filled with several other celebrities and their friends. The music was loud which caused Louis head to pound more.
"Let's go boys," Niall smiled. They walked in and talked with a few people and drank a little. Louis's headache became worse and his stomach started to churn. He really just wanted to go back to the hotel. He looked around trying to find the boys to tell them. He found Niall first having a drink with some other celebrities. He walked over to him and put his arm around him.
"Hey Nialler," Louis whispered.
"What's up Lou?" Niall asked loudly. It was clear he was buzzed if not drunk.
"You think we can head back soon? I'm not feeling well?"
"You probably just drank too much. Go lay down," Niall slurred. Louis sighed and nodded. The truth was he hadn't had anything to drink that night. He walked over to Liam next.
"Hey Payno."
"Hey Lou, what's up?" Liam smiled. Louis was relieved Liam wasn't drunk at all.
"Liam, I'm not feeling very well do you think we can head back?"
"Go lay down for a while we'll come get you after midnight. Try to sleep it off." Liam rubbed his back. Liam thought Louis was drinking too. Louis searched around for Harry. His last hope. He found Harry talking to a pretty girl off in the corner. Louis walked over to him slowly.
"Hazza." Harry looked up at him. "I'm not feeling very well." Harry looked him over and stood up.
"Come on Lou." Harry took Louis upstairs and into an empty room. He laid Louis down on the bed and sat next to him and gently ran his fingers through his hair. Louis sighed contently. He was happy that Harry was there to comfort him.
"I want to go back to the hotel, Hazza," Louis whimpered.
"How much have you had to drink?" Harry asked softly.
"I haven't had anything to drink," Louis explained. Harry nodded. He didn't believe him of course.
"Alright Lou. Just try to rest. I'll gather up the other two and then we'll leave."
"Thank you Hazza," Louis sighed.
"Rest," Harry whispered. Louis shut his eyes. He could still feel Harry playing with his hair. He felt his body relax and soon he was asleep.
The next time Louis woke up Harry was gone. He looked at his phone and it was after midnight. He could still hear the music downstairs. Why haven't they come to get me yet? Liam said midnight. Louis thought to himself. His stomach whirled around and Louis became very nauseous. He gagged and before he could leave the room just stomach seized up. He leaned over the side of the bed throwing up on the floor. Retch after retch more of his stomach contents made their way onto the floor. When he was finished he was so dizzy he couldn't stand. His vision became blurry as the room spun. He laid back down on the bed as his vision went dark. He wasn't sure what happened next.
It was early in the morning when the boys made their way up the stairs. Liam was holding on to Niall who was stumbling up the stairs. He was the only one of the boys who was drunk.
"Liam, the room is spinning," Niall giggled.
"I know Nialler, we're gonna get Louis then we'll leave." Harry opened the door to the bedroom he had left Louis in. They looked around at the room which reeked of vomit. Niall gagged and ran into the bathroom.
"Guess he's sleeping it off," Harry sighed. Liam walked over to Louis and gently tried to shake him awake. Louis felt warm. Liam thought that was strange.
"Harry come here," Liam told him. Harry walked over to the bed. "Does he feel warm to you?" Harry put his hand on Louis head.
"Liam I think he's got a fever." They looked at each other with worry.
"Lou," Liam shook Louis a little. "Louis wake up mate." Liam patted the sides of Louis's face trying to get him to wake up. Louis groaned a little and opened his eyes.
"Hey mate," Harry whispered. "We're gonna take you home." Liam cradled him in his arms and carried him out there door.
"Go check on Niall. I'm going to take him to the car." Harry nodded and walked into the bathroom to check on their drunk Irish blondie. Liam carried Louis out of the house and into the car. "We should've listen to you mate," Liam sighed. Louis looked up at him sadly. "We'll take you back to the hotel." Louis nodded. Harry walked out the door with Niall. Niall had his arm draped over Harry's shoulder. Harry got Niall into the car and jumped in the front seat. Liam got in the driver's side and started the car. Harry kept an eye on both of the boys in the back, fearing a little that either of them would throw up in the backseat. The got back to the hotel and Liam and Harry helped the two sick boys back into their rooms. Liam stayed with Louis while Harry stayed with Niall. Liam got Louis into bed and comfortable.
"Thank you Payno," Louis sighed.
"I'm sorry it took so long mate. Should've listen to you." Liam felt back Louis was actually sick.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just tired now." Liam nodded.
"Getsome sleep mate. You're alright." Louis sighed and shut his eyes. Louis wasfeeling better when he woke up the next morning. Niall spent most of the daysleeping off the nasty hangover he was dealing with. Both boys were back totheir normal selves in a few days.
