30 Appendix - 1d Medical

Hazel had been tossing around in her bed for the past few hours. She hadnt had any sleep the night due to stabbing pains in her abdomen. She knew she couldn't say anything to her dad because he would make sure to get her into the hospital. Her dad, Zayn Malik, was head of the ER in the city. He adopted 4 sons and 1 daughter. They all attempted the same middle school. With Hazel being the youngest at 15 she had her 16, 17 and 18 year old brothers watching over like a madman.

Hazel turned around and saw that it was already 6.30am.

Great she thought. She hadnt slept the night and she needed to get a shower before Louis, the oldest Malik with 18 years, or Niall, the youngest of the boys.

She slowly made her way out of bed regretting it the moment she stepped out. A dizzy spell took over her legs and she immediately fell down. She prayed to the lords that it woke up none of her brothers and especially not her dad. She was relieved when the light on the hallway wasn't flicked on but another round of sharp pain got into her stomach again. She silently cried and curled up into a ball.

She had no idea how long she laid there but when she looked back up she heard the shower turned on.

Great, just fucking great. Either Louis or Niall was already awake and now she actually prayed that it was Louis since he was the one with the most hurry due to deadlines.

She got up, collected her outfit for the day and walked towards the bathroom. It was locked since one of the boys was still in there. Hazel soflty knocked on the door.

"Just a sec Niall," Louis responded. He unlocked the door and was surprised that Hazel stood there ready to shower.

"Holy fucking shit," Louis spoke as he watched how his sister entered the bathroom, "you alright Hazel?"

Louis was shocked by the looks of Hazel. She had bags under her eyes and it looked like every single bit of life had been drained out of her.

"Let me get dad," Louis said but before he had a chance to run away to get help, Hazel grabbed his arm.

"Don't," she pleaded, "it's probably just stress or something. I have two huge tests today and a shuttle run so I need to go to school. I'm fine Lou, I'll always be."

Hazel tried to say it believable but know she failed miserably. Louis still stood there, only wearing his jeans because his shirt wasn't even near him when he unlocked the door assuming it was his brother, arms crossed and a sad look on his face.

" Alright I'll make a deal with you," Louis stated, "I won't say a thing to dad about this if you promise me to go to Liam or I when you're fe-"

Louis got cut short by his sentence since he saw Hazel swaying on her feet. He immediately reached out to his younger sister and lowered her to the bathroom floor.

"Screw it I'm getting dad," Louis said as he walked out towards Zayn's bedroom. Hazel still sat down at the floor enjoying the cold it gave her. Another round of pain hit her again and she cried this time. Louder than she did before but still unheard for her brothers or dad. She decided to curl up into a ball and wished it was going to pass sooner the later.

On the other side of the house things weren't going to plan either. Since Zayn his bedroom is on the other side of the hallway, Louis couldn't hear Hazel crying from the bathroom.

Louis soflty knocked on the door. "Dad you there?" he asked.

When he didn't get a response he tried again with no luck either. He walked into the bedroom but couldn't find Zayn. Zayn had gone out for work at 3 am already since he got called for an enormous boat crash about 2 hours away from his house.

Louis cursed under his breath and knew he had to wake Liam then. He was the smartest out of the boys and had ambition to follow his father's footsteps. Luckily Liam his bedroom was next to Zayn's so he was there quite quick.

Louis didn't bother knocking this time and barged straight into the room and flicked the light on.

Liam his eyes had to adjust to the light before he eventually could figure out who was trying to get himself killed.

"Louis what the fuck why are you here half naked and why do you even wake me up," Liam said wiping the sleep out of his eyes and resting on one shoulder to sit up a bit.

"Hazel. She isn't good, she almost fainted in my arms. I think we have a serious problem. She is right now in the bathroom," Louis said sternly crossing his arms.

Liam was right awake now and jumped out of bed. Liam usually slept in old football gear of Louis and so he did this time as well. Wearing an old bayern München shirt and shorts he followed Louis towards the bathroom.

He immediately pulled Hazel up in order for her to sit up straight. Liam was beyond shocked when he watched his sister sitting there. If Liam was letting go her arms she would just fall back on the floor.

"Louis go sit behind her would you," Liam instructed his brother. Louis did what Liam asked and got a steady grip on Hazel.

"Hey Hazel tell me where it hurts," Liam asked sitting across Hazel on the floor. Hazel pointed out to her stomach.

"Alright do you feel you need to throw up or something else," Liam asked. He noticed how shacky she was and Liam immediately grabbed one of her arms to get her pulse which was extremely rapid.

"Headache and I'm cold," Hazel answered. Liam nodded and pulled a string of hair behind Hazel her ear.

"Alright Hazel what we're going to do is put you back to bed and we'll see from there," Liam said not fully thrusting his own diagnose. He though it was probably stress and wanted to find a stressful event that was going to happen this week for Hazel. But before Liam could eventually begin that search Hazel already protested.

"No please Li I need to go to school. I have two massive tests today and a shuttle run so please let me go. It's probably just stress, once if eaten ill be fine I promise," Hazel pleaded.

"Yeah okay. Hop in the shower and just make sure to come downstairs after. I'm downstairs and so is Lou so if you don't feel alright just call us," Liam said as he pulled Hazel back on her feet. She seemed to get a bit of her normal color back.

"You fine?" Louis asked when he eventually let go of her arms. Hazel slowly nodded and shoved both of her brothers out so she could get ready. She took another look in the mirror and sighed, she looked like hell and to be fair she felt like she was dying on the inside.

Louis and Liam walked back to their rooms to grab their things and dress further up. Liam wasn't really focused on Louis since he was still busy with Hazel.

"What do you think is wrong Li?" Louis asked as he stood in his door post.

"Probably stress. I think Ni and Haz need to keep out an eye on her since she'll always have one class with one of the two," Liam spoke out.

Hazel had skipped a year and came in the same year as Niall and Harry.

"Speaking of Niall and Haz. I haven't heard them over tests coming up," Louis said trying to get a picture everything.

"You know Hazel. She's way too insecure about everything. I'll talk to Niall if it makes you feel better. I'm actually wondering why the kid isn't starting his rounds by now," Liam reassured Louis and laid a hand on his brothers shoulder, "she's fine Lou. I'll promise, stress is a weird thing and does weird things to your body."

Liam made his way towards Nialls room and knocked on the door.

"Ni I need to talk to you," Liam soflty spoke. Niall was awake already since he was meant to do his rounds of the news paper but his boss said he was free today.

"Yeah come in," Niall spoke not feeling leaving his bed.

Liam appeared in Nialls door with a serious face. "Am I in trouble?" Niall immediately asked, "I swear to God it wasn't me that ate the chocolate."

"Wait what?" Liam asked, "no I'm not coming for that tho. I was wondering if you have any important tests coming up this day?"

"Oww than," Niall said relaxing, "ehh yeah some stupid book test for English and an practical for chemistry. Why?"

"It's Hazel. She's really stressed out about it. She fainted in Louis his arms this morning because she's so stressed out. She did mention a shuttle run however, how come you don't." Liam knew where Niall was up to since he would probably just sit somewhere else than in PE during a shuttle run and Liam couldn't blame him since he had done the same last year.

"How is she," Niall asked getting really worried about her.

"She's fine," Liam reassured, "just stressed. Can you and Harry just keep an eye out. I have no idea who has the most classes with her but please just come to mine when she isn't feeling fine."

Niall nodded and got up. He walked over to his closet and grabbed a few clothes.

"I'm going to take a shower. I'll make sure nothing will happen to her alright. Harry isn't going to school today though because he has an excursion with his arts class," Niall said as he hugged his older brother. Liam hugged back and kissed Niall his forehead.

"Lou and I are downstairs," Liam spoke as he walked out of the room. Niall nodded and walked towards the shower which was still locked which meant that Hazel was probably still in there.

*********

Hazel, Niall, Liam and Louis all piled into Louis his car. Hazel was wearing one of Louis his hoodies. She was feeling so cold that she began to wonder if going to school was the best option.

Niall sat in the back as well as Liam had shotguned the passenger seat. Hazel wasn't looking the best but already more presentable then she was that same morning when she stumbled upon Louis.

Liam looked in the mirror all the time to Hazel who was currently sleeping in the back.

"Ni which hours do you have the tests?" Liam asked his brother who was on his phone.

"Ehh wait let me look," Niall said as he opened his schedule, "5th and 7th period with a spare one at 3th."

Liam nodded and those where the worst times to have a test for Hazel at the moment. If the tests were halfway through the morning, Liam or Louis could have driven her home but no the tests were halfway through and even her last period.

"I'll pass you mine and Louis so you know where we are if something happens indeed," Liam spoke.

Hazel began to wake up and immediately lunged forward holding her stomach.

"Lou pull over," Niall yelled as he unbuckled himself and Hazel. Liam immediately looked at the two youngsters in the back. Louis did as Niall asked and Liam immediately jumped out to reach for Hazel who was sitting right behind him.

Once he got Hazel out she began to throw up like a madman. Luckily Hazel wasn't heavy so Liam's arms should be doing the job of holding her up.

"Let it all out," Liam told Hazel as he rubbed her back softly. Once he was done she crunched over to hold her stomach again.

"Hazel you're really not fine. Tell me what bothers you," Liam said getting stern. Hazel pointed to her stomach and Liam began to feel around. Liam was getting more afraid of an appendix. Once he pushed down on her appendix she didn't scream out of pain which was odd to Liam as she showed all the others symptoms.

"I've got you. I'll always got you," Liam reassured. He noticed that Hazel had gone paler again and got an extra steady grip on her.

"Louis come here," Liam yelled for his oldest brother since he could deal with it for some reason and Niall just couldn't.

"Yeah what is it?" Louis asked and was shocked when he saw Liam holding an almost unconscious Hazel upright. "What the hell," Louis spoke out.

"Yeah just lay her down," Liam told. Louis helped Liam lower Hazel down to the ground. As soon as her body hit the floor she began to throw up. Still being unconscious it scared Liam to hell.

"NIALL CALL DAD RIGHT NOW," Liam yelled to the boy in the car. Niall immediately called his dad with no luck.

"He doesn't pick up," Niall said crying. Luckily for Liam Hazel began to regain her consciousness.

"We've got you Hazel," Louis said still holding her into the recovery position.

"I feel okay," Hazel said trying to sit up. Liam wasn't a fan of it but knew they were already running late for school.

"Just lay down in the car okay," Liam said as he and Louis helped her standing upright.

Hazel hopped back into her seat feeling slightly better than before.

"You okay?" Louis asked before he started the engine.

"Yes," Hazel spoke out as she laid her head in Nialls lap for the remaining ten minutes to school.

Louis pulled up the car park and went the other way than Liam, Niall and Hazel since he was having PE the first three periods since he chose sportsclass.

Liam and the others walked inside the school building towards their lockers.

"Just remember Ni. Get me when it goes downhill," Liam whispered into Nialls ear who was just shoving his books into his locker.

"Yeah Li I promise. We're having the first two periods tutor so we need to leave now," Niall said getting impatiens with his brother because of the stop this morning Niall and Hazel were running a but later than usual. He knew that Liam wanted it to be just alright and that nothing would even happen to one of his siblings.

"Yeah alright. Be careful you both," Liam said as he slung his bagpack over his shoulder and walked with his mates towards his classes reminding himself he still needed to call his dad.

"Morning Niall and Hazel," their tutor Mr Irwin said as they walked inside the class, "wait Hazel come here for a minute."

Ashton noticed how pale Hazel looked and she wasn't right at all.

"What's wrong," Ashton asked sitting at his desk.

"Yeah just stress that's it. Nothing to worry about," Hazel told him putting on her bravest face. Ashton nodded but knowing Zayn was a doctor he thought it couldn't do no harm that she was here at school. Neither did Ashton knew that Zayn wasn't home at all and that Liam checked Hazel over.

" Okay I believe you," Ashton said to her. Hazel sat next to her brother again and waited for Ashton to start his lesson.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, today you have time to study a bit and most importantly to chose what you're going to do next year. Do you want to continue with the package you chose or do you want to switch classes. May I remind you that this will be your last uppertunity to switch until you'll be receiving your diploma over 2 years."

Hazel looked about to sleep if it wasn't for Niall who kept nodding her awake.

" I'm going to be sick again," Hazel excuses herself to Niall. She got up and ran outside the classroom in order to throw up into the toilets. Ashton watched it unfold and saw how shocked Niall was. He decided to check over at Niall what happened since the two of them were actually quite late for his liking since they were always the first ones and now they were just before the bell went off inside his classroom.

Ashton walked over to the other side of the classroom and watched Niall using his phone, something Ashton was normally really strict about but he now really knew something was wrong.

Ashton sat down at the chair of Hazel which made Niall look immediately at his direction.

"Hey what's wrong boy. What happened," Ashton asked as he laid his hand on his shoulder, "what's up with Hazel today she isn't her normal self and neither are you."

"She's sick," Niall softly spoke, "she fainted in Louis his arms this morning so Liam checked her over and concluded it was just stress. Dad was already away for work so he couldn't get her checked. When we were on our way to school she fainted again and thrown up as well. I've never been so scared sir."

Nial was still playing with his pencil and waited for Hazel to return. Ashton sighed and knew something definitely was wrong with her and not just stress so he decided to look into her school records from before Zayn got her.

Hazel did return a few moments later looking the worst she's been that day. Niall his eyes widened as he saw his sister making her way over to her table.

"You look like shit," Niall hissed to her. This made Hazel look up from the table. "No you look attractive you mean. How long till 3th?" Hazel asked.

"5," Niall said getting his phone out and texting Liam to call their dad because he genuinely thought Hazel was going to die right there on the floor.

Hazel sighed and snuggled deeper into Louis his hoodie. She just got scared to death in the toilets when she found out that she was throwing up blood. She didn't want to tell Niall though because than he would be the one unconscious on the floor.

Hazel waited for the bell and wanted so badly to lay in her bed.

When the bell went all her classmates went separate ways. Niall and Hazel and a few others were having a spare period.

Liam however didn't have one but once he got the text from Niall that Hazel wasn't feeling good again, he desperately called his dad who still hadn't picked up.

Liam walked with his mates towards another class while Liam still tried to get in contact with his dad. That's when he realised that he also got his dad's pager number. He quickly sailed that one and after a few tries his dad finally picked up.

"Malik," Zayn answered his pager. Liam was about to walk in the class when he finally picked up.

"Dad thank God," Liam sighed in relief.

"Liam wtf you know you aren't suppose to call on this unless it is very urgent. So what is it?"

"It's Hazel," Liam spoke out knowing why his dad reacted like that because he got called at 3 to begin work and wasn't even near finished, "she fainted this morning in Louis arms and on our way to school again. I was worried about an appendix since she's showing all the signs but when I pushed on her appendix she didn't scream it out."

"Alright I'm taking the trauma heli to you guys. Get her in the hospital. Did you push on the right or left side of her stomach?" Zayn asked running in the hospital.

"Ehh her right. That's where her appendix should be," Liam said getting confused.

"Yeah with normal people it would be laying there," Zayn sighed as he ordered the helicopter in the meantime to operate on his daughter since this was turning out to be an operation, "Hazel has situs inversus, that means that all her organs are mirrored so her appendix isn't on the right but on the left side of her body."

Liams eyes widened since she did point to her left side as the side where it hurted her the most. He just hoped he was still on time.

"I'll call you when I get back to the hospital," Zayn said as he hung up.

Liam now knew about Hazel her condition and that he needed to drive his sister to the hospital before it was too late. He got himself together and excused himself by his teacher due to an emergency. His teacher let him go and Liam ran towards the aula where Niall and Hazel should be. He just hoped he was on time.

Niall and Hazel were sitting in the aula, well Niall was more like sitting and growing impatient with Liam who still hadn't showed up. Hazel had fallen asleep on the table when Niall watched Ashton walking past. Niall waved to his tutor and Ashton waved back until he noticed Liam running like a madman down the school stairs.

"Ehh mister Malik," Ashton said as he stopped Liam, "the stairs aren't used to run on. Why are you in such a hurry lad?"

"Oww mister Irwin," Liam said out of breath, damn he never should've skipped his gym classes, "Niall texted me that Hazel isn't well and I have a strong feeling she has an appendix."

Ashton eyes widened and ran behind Liam into the aula.

"Niall," Liam said getting his breath back while Ashton tried to wake Hazel from her sleeping state, "get Louis he's still at sportsclass." Niall nodded and ran as fast as his little legs could take him.

Now Liam was focused as well on Hazel. He pulled her up so she was facing her brother.

Liam quickly slipped his hands under Louis hoodie and pushed softly on the left side of her stomach.

"Hold her because she might fall due to pain," Liam instructed Ashton as he placed his hands on the spot where her appendix should be.

Once Liam released his hands, Hazel let out an ear piercing scream. As she did that Liam noticed something bright red in her mouth.

"Hold on Hazel," Liam said as he sat upright again, "open your mouth now."

Hazel did as Liam asked and he shone the flashlight of his phone into her mouth. Yep that was defenitly blood. Hazel threw up blood.

"Oww fuck," Liam said as he grabbed Hazel into a hug.

"Mr Irwin could you maybe help me getting her to our car because it looks like she ruptured her appendix already," Liam said as he collected the stuff of Niall and Hazel.

Ashton nodded and lifted Hazel into his arms and ran behind Liam towards the car.

"How do you actually know?" Ashton wondered as Liam held the door open.

"She threw up blood," Liam stated as the two of them began to run outside to the parking lot, "that's one of the indications there is an internal bleeding."

Ashton nodded and saw Niall standing next to the car and Louis running out of the sportshall with his sport clothes still on.

"Pass me her," Louis said to Ashton. He nodded and passed her to Louis.

"I'll call you four in," Ashton stated, "take care of her."

The boys thanked Ashton and ran with Hazel towards their car.

Niall sat down at the passenger seat while Louis laid Hazel in the back with Liam.

"Fucking drive," Liam quickly told his oldest brother as he hold Hazel close for his dear life.

*****************

"Alright dad," Liam said as he ran outside the car and meating his dad at the entrence of the hospital, "it's already ruptured because she'd thrown up blood at school and all over me in the car."

Liam laid Hazel, who had fallen unconscious during the ride, down on the gurney.

"Okay wheel her up to the or I'll be there in a sec," Zayn instructed the nurses who were helping Zayn with the operation, "okay boys I'm so fucking proud of you. Niall and Louis could you collect Harry from home? His art excusion hadn't gone through. Liam I need you up in theater and you can watch the surgery if you want."

All boys agreed to their dad and Louis and Niall went back to the car to collect Harry.

"Let's get you some clean clothes and I'll send a nurse over to lead you the way boy," Zayn said as he and his son walked into the hospital, "I'll see you in a bit."

Zayn, already in surgery scrubs ran to the other end of the hall and dissappeared out of the sight.

"Let's get you cleaned," a male nurse said to Liam smiling. Liam nodded and followed the man towards the resedential room where Zayn had spare clothes since he'd always leave a pair in the lockers.

Liam quickly changed and followed the man towards the room where Liam could see the operation.

"Suction," Liam heard his dad asking. Zayn sucked all the blood and appendicial abscesses. The operation took 1 hour and a half.

"Alright stich her up," Zayn said as he let one of his interns stitch Hazel back up. Liam got up from the chair and walked over to the microphone.

He pressed it. "Thanks dad," Liam spoke crying at that moment when the realisation kicked in that he almost lost his sister.

Zayn looked up and took his mouthpiece off. He smiled and wiped away a tear..........
