Keane's POV

It was the night before we headed off to Canada for Christmas and New Year. After a full on day, we were all tired and with a long day ahead of us tomorrow, we all went to bed reasonably early at 10pm.

I needed sleep.

My body had another plan.

1am.

I was trying to be quiet, because I knew Tayte was asleep next to me, or so I thought. I sat up,

  "What's up?" Tayte asked yawning, "You okay?" he rolled over and sat up too, switching the light on.

"I feel sick and I can't sleep, I'm sorry I you woke up," I confessed,

  "I could feel you tossing and turning, you didn't wake me and don't be sorry," I sighed, "Do you feel like your going to be sick? I'll get you some water," he got off the bed, heading to our bathroom,

   "I just feel sick to my stomach, I don't know if I'm going to be sick, I just...urgh...I hate this feeling," Tayte handed me a glass of water, I took one sip,

"You feel hot," Tayte said as he felt my forehead,

   "I am hot," I winked and he smiled,

"Well you can still joke, so you're not that sick,"

   "I'm going to sit out on the balcony for a bit, the fresh air might do me good," I said, knowing sleep wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

"Well then I will join you," I headed to the sliding doors as Tayte grabbed a blanket for us. We'd been snuggled up on the sofa for 10 minutes, when we heard another sliding door to the left of us.

Arlo.

  "What's going on? You two okay?" he asked,

"Keane's feeling really sick and can't sleep, so we've come out here for some fresh air," Tayte replied,

   "Have you been sick?" He then queried, sitting down next to me,

"No, but I might be if this feeling gets any worse,"

  "You feel hot Keane," I smiled,

"I already told him that," Tayte answered, "Do you think we should wake Angelo?"

  "I think we should just see how Keane is in the morning,"

"And why are you up?" I asked,

   "Couldn't sleep," he replied. I gave him a look and he just smiled at me.

"We've got a long day ahead of us, so why don't you get a bit of sleep now Tayte and then I'll wake you and you can take over whilst I sleep," Arlo suggested,

   "How do I know you're going to wake me?" I rolled my eyes,

"Babe, I need at least one of you alive and with it tomorrow for my sake, so just go back to sleep, please, for me," I said,

   "Wake me up at 4am and then you can have a few hours okay," He said to Arlo who nodded, though I knew wasn't going to wake him up whatsoever. Tayte kissed me and then warned us to wake him if I got any worse and then went back into our room. I pulled the blanket around Arlo,

"Your not going to wake him are you?" I asked,

"No," I smiled.

We sat there together in silence for a few minutes. I could hear the gentle breathing of Arlo and lay my head on his lap.
