*Noel's POV*

I woke up to the sound of loud foot steps pacing down the hall. I rolled over in my bed only to fall straight on the floor with a thud. I still felt absolutely terrible and I don't know why.

"I don't want to introduce her to the public today. She's sick!" I heard Louis say.

"I know Lou. But Simon said Alan Carr would be the best and nicest choice to introduce her. You know how some of those interviewers are. He's just trying to look out for her." Liam said

"I guess you're right, I'll go wake her up." I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I heard Louis knock on my door. "Noooeel it's time to waaaake uuuup!" He stopped walking and chuckled. He picked me up off the floor and lied Me on my bed. He moved my hair out of my face and kissed my forehead. "Noel, it's time to get up."  I reopened my eyes and looked at him. He sat on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with his hand. "Listen, we have an interview today. And Simon wants you to be in it - Only if you're feeling up to it, I could call and cancel." He said looking at me with pleading eyes. I knew he didn't want to make Simon madder than he's already made him.

"No, it's okay. I'll go, I don't want to be a bother." I said my voice still scratchy and squeaky. I legit sounded like a guy going through puberty. My teeth were chattering, from my fever

"You'll never be a bother." He said kissing my temple and walking out for me to get ready. I walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked hideous, my hair was tangled, dry drool on the side of my mouth, my nose cherry red, and dark circles under my eyes. Great... I get to be on TV looking a hot mess. I shook my head and jumped in the shower. I turned the water as hot as possible and I was still shivering. I did what I had to do and jumped out of the shower wrapping myself in a towel. I wrapped my hair up in a towel and walked into my closet. I picked out a pair of jeans, a black Cami, and a black see through shirt with colorful feathers printed on it. I got dressed and blow dried my hair, enjoying the warmth. I left my hair natural, it was straight but curled at the ends, and my bangs swooped across my forehead. I looked in the mirror. Well, at least it was an improvement from when I woke up. I slipped on my light gray toms and started walking down stairs coughing. I put on a light gray cardigan and sat on the couch with Liam.

"Hey Noel." He said. I just nodded and continued coughing. He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes. "You're not looking to good. You're really pale. Maybe we should take you to the hospital."

"I've always been pale. I'm fine." I said.

"Time to go guys!" Zayn screamed through the house. I got up and walked outside. I stopped to look at the garden. The flowers would bloom soon. I started to bend down and pull a weed, when the car horn made me jump up. Niall was motioning me to come on. I got into the big black SUV and layed down in the back. I closed my eyes, and felt someone's jacket being placed on me. The scent on the jacket was strong, Louis. I cuddled into it and drifted off into a deep sleep.
