It was 1.30am, Thursday morning, in Shanghai and Antti opened his eyes, suddenly aware of Chloe shuffling closer to him in bed. She had arrived only a few hours earlier on her flight from Heathrow and as yet Seb was not aware she was here but knew that she was coming after Britta had regained access to the email account and seen the flight confirmation details. Antti lay there finding it hard not to feel guilty with Seb's girlfriend in his bed but as he felt her cuddling up to him it gave him a small glimpse in to what it was like for Seb to have this beautiful woman in his bed night after night, it was something he could get used to very quickly. "Chloe, you ok?" He could feel her shivering and cuddling up to him even more.

"I'm so cold." She murmured. "I just can't get warm." She was virtually laying on top of him now.

"Naida! (Fuck!) You're boiling hot!" He gently pushed her off of him.

"Trust me Antti, I'm bloody freezing." She rolled on to her back as Antti sat up and pressed a hand to her face.

"You're seriously running a temperature and you're sweating." He said reaching to the night stand and flicking the lamp on, he turned back to her. "You're really pale."

"I don't feel too good if I'm honest." She sat up also and noticed her t-shirt was getting damp. "Oh jesus." She put her hand to her stomach and looked at Antti's worried face, sitting up had made her head spin a little but her stomach felt worse. She leapt out of bed and ran to the bathroom, Antti rubbed his face still feeling sleepy as he heard her being sick. His first instinct was to call Seb but he knew she wouldn't want that, maybe after this she would be ok. He lay back down again with his arms up and his hands behind his head while Chloe continued wretching, she'd only eaten once in the past week and that was mainly to satisfy her mother so her body had nothing but bile to bring up. After nearly thirty minutes it became clear this was something serious as he heard a thud in bathroom, he jumped out of bed.

"Ei! Ei! Ei!" (No! No! No!) He ran in to bathroom spotting her slumped on the floor, passed out. He ran back to the bedroom, grabbed his phone and went back to the bathroom. "Chloe!" He got down on the floor with her and stroked her face for a moment. "Please wake up!" He reached up and flushed the toilet to try and get rid of the smell of her vomit. "Chloe!" He patted her cheeks gently and then shook her shoulders, he sighed with relief as she stirred.

"Seb, I need Seb." She croaked.

"I'll call him now." He swept his fingers over her sweaty face to get her hair out of the way and then dialled Seb's number.

"Antti." Seb answered, wondering why his trainer would be calling him at this time of the night. He was exhausted after being on two scheduled promotional events with Britta just hours after landing early this morning, plus an event this evening.

"You've got to come to my room now, Chloe's sick, she'd passed out!" Antti looked at her, she looked even whiter now and was still laying on the floor.

"What the fuck is she...... I'm on my way." He cut the call, threw the duvet off of him and got out of bed.

"Antti I feel so weak." Chloe whispered as she lay on the floor. She wretched and Antti looked away for a second, his stomach churned even with the sounds she was making, never mind seeing it.

"Seb's now coming." He placed his hand on her side, he noticed that despite her wretching there was virtually nothing coming up.

"Seb? No, I don't want him here." She let out a small sob.

"But you asked for him." Antti stood up as he heard Seb banging on the door. He quickly went to the door and opened it and Seb swept past him. "She's in the bathroom." Antti said as Seb glared at him angrily.
