Chapter Forty Four

"where were you?" Niall asks as I turn around from shutting the door. "Does it matter?" "It does Annie!" "Why? You got to watch your movie and I got to be around someone who I love." "excuse me!" "Niall! You told me to go upstairs and watch a movie by myself!" "Well you didn't need to dump your food on my head!" "Yes I did! You don't get it Niall!" "You left the house without any of us knowing! You scared the crap out of your brother! You dumped food on me! And I saw you with Cameron!" "Niall why are you making this such a big deal!" "Because it is a big deal Annie!" I don't know what to say and the words just come out. "I hate you!" Once I say that Harry come down the stairs in his boxers. "Annie go to bed." he says from behind me. I wipe a stray tear and run up the stairs. I slam my door shut and slid down it to the ground. I bring my knees up to my chest and hug them. After a few minutes I climb into bed and fall asleep. "Annie wake up for school." says a calm voice. I open my eyes a little to see Louis and Zayn next to my bed. "I don't feel good." I say and pull the covers up. Louis feels my forehead. "your burning." "Liam come here!" Zayn yells down the hall. "What doesn't feel good?" louis asks. "my throat." Zayn sits at the edge of my bed. Liam comes in and stands next to Louis. "What?" "Annie doesn't feel good." Zayn answers. "Well what do we do?" Harry comes in and stands beside Liam. "It's really hot in here can you turn the fan on?" I ask pulling the covers down a bit. "it's fifty degrees outside." Harry says. "please." "fine." he gets up and flips the switch on to the fan. "thank you." I cough into my pillow an close my eyes again. "We should call her neighbor to see what to do. Annie what's Cameron's moms number?" the other boys laugh at Harry. "not funny guys." I hand him my phone and click Kristi's number. "Hi this is Harry Styles. I'm staying with Annie and she's not feeling well can you come over and check on her. Mhm. Okay thanks. She'll be right over." I nod. "Do you want anything right now?" Liam asks. "Can you make me some tea?" "Louis?" I smile and Louis goes down stairs to make tea. I cough more and hug the pillow next to me. "Where's Niall?" I ask looking up at Harry. "erm. Well." "never mind." I say after Harry struggles to find the words to tell me where Niall went after last night. The doorbell rings and in a few seconds Louis, my tea, and Kristi are up in my room. "not feeling well Annie?" I shake my head. "Can we give her medicine?" Zayn asks. "She refuses to take medicine." Kristi says. "Well what do we do?" Liam asks. "Just let her rest and maybe give her some cough drops and tea?" "okay. Thank you for coming by." "your welcome. I'll come by later to see how she is." "okay." Louis leads her back down stairs. I sit up in bed and sip my tea. "why won't you take medicine?" Zayn asks. "it's gross. I've never taken medicine." "Then how do you get better?" "well I don't usually get sick." "Well are you hungry?" I shake my head. "come on lads let's just let her rest for a while." Liam says. He brushes the hair away from my forehead and they all walk out shutting the door. I close my eyes and fall back asleep. I wonder how long I've been asleep. The door opens and the bed shifts as if someone sat on it. "Love? Wake up." I open my eyes and see Louis. "sorry to wake you but you need to eat something. Can you come downstairs?" "yeah. I'll be right down." he gets up and leaves. I get out of bed and brush my hair and put it in a pony. I change into sweatpants and throw on my varsity jacket. I walk down the stairs slowly and sit at the bar stools in the kitchen. I rest my head on the counter. "How are you feeling?" Harry asks. "Mmm." "what can we do to make you feel better?" "if I knew where Niall was." "I don't know sorry." "how do you not know?" I say lifting my head up. "I don't know he kinda just left. I tried talking to him but he just walked out. I'm sorry." Louis clears his throat. "so food?" "Just a piece of toast." "you need to eat more than a piece of toast." "I'm not hungry." "fine." Liam makes me toast an puts butter and cinnamon on it. He puts it on a plate and places it in front of me. "eat." I raise an eyebrow. "please." "okay." I take a bite of my toast and put it down. "done." "your not done. Eat." I take another bite and push the plate away from me. "what can we do to make you eat?" "find Niall." "We don't know where he is." "then I won't eat." "Annie your being stupid." "I won't eat until Niall comes back." "fine don't eat." Zayn takes the plate and eats the remainder of the toast. I go and lay down on the couch. Liam lays a blanket over me and turns the lights down. "Hey." "yes love." Louis answers. "Can you grab m laptop from my backpack in my room." I cough and roll over. "sure." I hear him run up the stairs and a few minutes later run back down.
