33 School Isn't Peanuts - 5sos / 1d Medical
"Morning," Ashton said as he pulled away the curtains in Luke his room, "get up boy. We need to get to school in like 45 minutes."
"I'm up," the 12 year old teenager groaned to his 18 year old brother.
Luke sat half up right and saw that Ashton was already dressed, wearing a suit.
"What day is it?" Luke wondered as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Wednesday," Ashton said as he looked confused and crossed his arms, "why do you ask?"
"Because of that," Luke said as he pointed to the way too fancy outfit that Ashton was wearing.
"Oww this," he laughed, "it's for my debate during history."
Ashton ruffled through his brothers hair and began to wake the other two. Luke was the youngest of 4 with the age of 12.
Ashton was 18, then Calum was 16 and Michael 13.
Luke sat up and walked towards his dresser. He casually grabbed some shorts and a shirt before heading towards the shower.
At the other end of the house, Luke could hear his brothers, especially Calum, not in the mood of waking up.
Luke just jumped under the shower and just laughed at the sound of pillows being thrown at Ashton from Calum for waking her and books falling to the ground by Michael just because he was clumsy.
After a good shower, Luke hopped out and began to dress up. He could hear Ashton making breakfast downstairs and already made their lunch for school.
Luke was deadly allergic to peanuts so Ashton always made sure that there was no change for Luke to get in contact with peanuts under his watch.
**
"Morning," Luke said as he walked down. Ashton was on his MacBook doing school assignments and Michael was eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Yours is on the counter mate," Ashton said not looking up from his assignment.
Luke felt sorry for his brother. Since their parents left, Ashton took the toll the most. He had to redo that year and now he was in his last year before he should hit up college. Luckily for the boys that college was just 10 minutes away from their home so Ashton would still be able to take care of them.
"Thanks," Luke said walking towards the countertop where his sandwich with jelly laid, "how's your assignment going?"
"Ughh," Ashton sighed as he took his glasses off, "its ju-."
Ashton wasn't able to finish his sentence since he heard a loud thud on the ground coming from upstairs.
Ashton, scared to death that Calum was giving his room a make over when they were just about to leave or laid passed out on the bathroom floor, jumped up and immediately ran taking two stairs at the time.
"You pack our stuff?" Michael asked while eating 4 of his sandwiches.
Luke nodded and walked towards the counter. Luke always had a plastic bag while Michael still fancied his box of bread. That was always the case but since Ashton ran out of time he switched the two which meant that the peanut butter with jelly was now in the plastic bag and the bread that was made for Luke was now in a box. Unaware of the change, Luke put the bread in their backpacks and sat down next to Michael.
Ashton was still upstairs probably fixing a closet and dealing with an annoyed Calum.
10 minutes later he ran downstairs with Calum.
"Let's go boys we're running late," he yelled as he took a bite of his sandwich while trying to get another shoe on.
All the boys pulled into the car while Ashton drove away at full speed.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Morning Luke," Mr Tomlinson grated his student. Luke smiled and walked up to his tutor.
"How you doing?" Louis asked. He knew about his home situation of course because he saw Luke many times a week. In Louis his first year he got Ashton as his tutor child. He was one of the best kids he ever had and even Luke tipped the mark. He had a weak spot for all the Irwin boys.
"Fine and you?" Luke wondered. Ashton dropped the boys off as he went towards the other section of the school.
"Before I forget," Luke said as he searched for something in his pocket, "Ashton asked me to give you this. I need to leave early within two weeks because I have an appointment with my specialist to see how allergic I still am." Louis nodded and grabbed the note from Luke.
"Fine," Louis said as he shoved the piece of paper into his student map.
Luke made his down the class and sat next to his mate Troy.
"Alright ladies and gents listen up," Louis said as he started his lesson, "it's time for our half year revise so all tables apart."
The whole class sighed not feeling it today but Louis made sure that all of them were doing the work that had to be done.
**
Once the bell rung for their break, Luke was a bit stumbling. He had eaten breakfast but not that much. Louis noticed that Luke wasn't feeling right on his feet and shot up immediately. He speedwalked towards a Luke who looked extremely pale and if Louis hadn't watched out, Luke would have been laying down on the floor unconscious. "Hey Luke what's wrong mate," Louis asked as he placed his hands under Luke his armpits and lowered him to the floor. "Dizzy," Luke managed to choke out. He let himself rest against the table where Louis had put him up against.
"Did you have breakfast this morning," Louis wondered. Luke nodded his head but explained he only had a bit since they were in a rush.
Louis grabbed Luke his sandwiches and gave it to him. "eat up," Louis said as he shove, unaware of the peanut butter that was on there, a piece of sandwich into his hand.
Louis helped Luke up and lowered him into a chair.
Luke took a bite but only tasted the jelly since he was way too far from the world to even realise that he was eating something he was deadly allergic to. Louis watched Luke take a bite but didn't see the peanut butter since it already was not much.
"I'm going to get some coffee while you just eat it here," Louis said getting up, "and if you don't improve I'll personally drop you off at your house."
Luke swallowed and Louis closed the door walking towards the teachers room.
Almost as instant Luke began to feel itchy. It felt like his whole body was on fire. Because he almost passed out he had no idea he just ate the thing he was deadly allergic too.
It wasn't much later that Luke had trouble breathing that he knew something was wrong.
Luke didn't have the strength to get to the door but lowered himself to the ground. He hoped that mister Tomlinson would be just in time before it was too late.
**
Michael happely sat down at the table in the cafeteria. He looked around and spotted his brothers Ashton and Calum sitting both somewhere else. It wasn't odd that Luke wasn't in the cafetaria because he usually sat with his group at the window at the entrance.
Michael unpacked his bread since he was hungry AF and had some money to buy some food at lunch time. Michael took a bit and immediately sensed something was off with the bread but he just couldn't lay his finger on it.
Michael casually unfolded his bread to which his mates looked weird.
"What are you doing," Lillian laughed as she put a piece of apple in her mouth.
"It doesn't taste the same," Michael casually said, "oww it's butter."
Once Michael realised what he said he quickly stood up.
"What's wrong it's just butter," Lillian laughed finding Michael his reaction odd.
"Well if Ashton did make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches this morning than Luke is in big trouble."
Michael went of to his oldest brother who was surrounded by his mates.
"Ash you have a moment," Michael soflty asked but Ashton could see the fear in his eyes. Ashton excused himself by his mates and walked towards Michael.
"Hey buddy what's wrong," Ashton wondered as he adjusted his glasses.
"Did you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich this morning?" Michael asked afraid of Ashtons answer.
"Yeah why?"
"Luke's in trouble," Michael said as he passed his bread towards Ashton who also saw the butter.
"Fuck," Ashton said, "get Calum and just get towards the main entrance because he's probably there."
Ashton quickly grabbed his bag while Michael ran towards the other side of the cafeteria.
"What's wrong Ash," one of his mates asked.
"Ehh family stuff," Ashton hesitated and ran away towards the spot Luke usually had his lunch.
As he ran into the big hall he didn't see someone half death laying on the ground or teachers running in distress passed him. It looked like nothing had happened but that didn't take away Ashton his speed.
He ran towards the spot where his youngest brother usually ate.
"Hey," Ashton said getting his breath back, damn he needed to keep up his physical, "have you seen Luke?"
"No," Alex, one of his best mates, answered, "he hadn't showed up since tutor. He almost passed out in class so maybe he's still there but I don't know."
Ashton got his hand through his hair. "okay thanks," Ashton answered, "I'll look for mister Tomlinson."
Ashton took a run towards the teachers room and was met with his own tutor, mister Clark.
"Why in such a hurry mister Irwin?" He asked. Ashton impatiently waited for Louis to get into his eyesight.
"I ehh," Ashton said as he saw his two other brothers running towards him as well, "I need mister Tomlinson please."
"I'll get him for you," mister Clark answered.
"Where's Luke?" Calum asked his eyes full of fear.
"Alex told he hadn't seen him since tutor so I thi-." Ashton couldn't finish his sentence because Louis was in front of the three Irwin boys.
"Hello what can I do for you three?" Louis asked as he sipped his coffee.
"Where's Luke?" Calum immediately asked. Louis looked weird at the three of them because he was almost on his way to Luke to check him out.
"He's still in my classroom because he almost fainted. I was just on my way to him," Louis said.
"We need to get there now," Ashton explained, "Luke's in danger."
Louis nodded and told the boys where he left Luke.
Calum, the fastes of them, ran immediately towards the room. He was closely followed by Ashton and Louis. Michael didn't go with the boys since he couldn't deal with such stuff.
As Ashton and Louis reached the stairs they were met with Calum who told them it was horribly wrong.
Ashton took the fasted sprint of his life and almost slipped into the classroom.
There he laid, his youngest brother, unconscious on the floor. His face was swollen a bit but Ashton was more afraid that his throat had swollen.
"Hey hey," Ashton said as he quickly pulled Luke his legs up and laid them on a chair, "Hey buddy open your eyes for me please."
"Calum search in his bag for his locker key," Ashton instructed as he took of his colbert and laid that under Luke his head.
"I was only away for what," Louis began to say, "5 minutes or so."
"It doesn't matter anymore now does it," Ashton yelled as he tried to listen if Luke was still breathing, "I don't blame you but please just call the ambulance."
"I got his key," Calum yelled and ran away with it towards Luke his locker.
Ashton just hoped that Luke was taking a breath because all the time Luke still didn't take a breath.
Ashton couldn't wait longer and slowly lifted Luke his chin. Ashton took away his jacket since Luke needed to lay on a flat surface in order to preform mouth to mouth. He opened Luke his mouth and gave Luke respiratory breaths.
He pinched his nose closed and Ashton covered the mouth of Luke. Louis just stood there. Shocked, not knowing how to deal with the current situation. He just called the ambulance and the dispatcher told him that the ambulance should be arriving within four minutes.
As Ashton blew another round of breaths into Luke his system, Calum came running back into the room.
"Pull his pants down and inject the epipen into his thigh," Ashton yelled as he continued to give mouth to mouth since Luke still wasn't able to breathe on his own.
Calum immediately unbuckeld the belt of Luke and pulled down his jeans. He just watched his brother being lifeless and his only hope was Ashton keeping his alive.
"Ash," Calum said shaking with the adrenaline in his hand, "I don't think I'm able to do this."
Ashton looked at his younger brother on the edge of a panic attack. He made eye contact with Louis who knew enough.
"Calum give it to Ash and go sit there at my desk," Louis said crunching down and laying a hand on Calum his shoulder.
Calum passed the epipen towards Ashton. He undid the lid and without thinking twice he injected it into his youngest brother's thigh.
"Come on Luke," Ashton said wiping away his tears. The shot of adrenaline didn't have the effect Ashton hoped for.
"How long does that fucking ambulance take," Ashton said now really losing his mind worrying about Luke.
"I'll go down to the entrance," Louis reassured them, "they should be down within a minute."
Ashton thanked Louis and continued giving Luke mouth to mouth since he still hadn't been able to breath for himself.
He heard Louis running down the hallway and Calum immediately shot up. "He's there," Calum said as he watched two guys running into the room.
"Alright I'm Niall that's Harry," the blond one introduced himself, "peanut anaphylaxis?"
"Yeah," Ashton told the boy as he back away, "he's allergic to peanuts and the boys must have switched lunch by accident and Luke accidentally ate peanut."
"Alright he isn't breathing," Harry told as he put on the monitors, "intubation doctor Horan?"
"Yeah I'm coming," Niall explained as he lowered himself down at Luke his head, "Harry push another round of adrenaline into his system because the epipen isn't having his effect on him."
Harry nodded and prepped an IV line.
Niall was busy trying to get an intubation into Luke is airway.
"Hey Luke," Niall said, "there's a change you might hear me so I'm going to explain what I'm doing. I'll be putting a tube into you so you get a bit more oxygen."
Niall immediately locked the tube inside Luke his mouth. He got the bag and placed it on the tube.
"Could you get here?" Harry asked Louis. Louis nodded and made his way towards Harry.
"Could you please hold this up?" Harry asked handing him the IV bag.
Louis nodded and hold the bag up for Luke.
Ashton made his way towards Calum who was still staring in front of him.
"He'll be fine," Ashton whispered as he pulled Calum into a hug.
"We're taking him to the childrens hospital," Harry said coming to the boys as Niall began to prep everything for transport, "one of you can drive with us."
"You should go Cal," Ashton said, "I'll go with mickey."
Calum nodded and got up. He watched how Luke was being carried on the gurney.
"Alright we're ready to leave," Niall said as he continued to bag Luke, "you're coming?" Niall asked referring to Calum.
He wiped away his tears and nodded following Niall and Harry towards the ambulance.
"I'll see you soon bud," Ashton said as he watched two of his brothers go into the ambulance.
Ashton waited till the ambulance was out of sight before he collapsed. He was too stressed and very thing began to kick in as instant.
Luckily mister Clark was outside and saw the scene unfold.
He immediately went to Ashton who was knocked out conscious.
"Hey it's fine Ash," mister Clark said as he took the unconscious body into his arms, "everything is fine."
---------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in the ambulance Niall was still bagging Luke as Calum was rubbing Luke his hand.
"Will he make it," Calum asked crying. Niall looked up and smiled.
"The allergic reaction is wearing off because of the adrenaline," Niall said as he continued to bag, "he'll make it."
"Than why are you still bagging?" Calum asked. "Because he still isn't able to breath on his own but that's a side effect of the reaction. The swelling into his airway will reduce soon when the bag of adrenaline emptied and we'll hook up another bag. Than he's able to breathe on his own."
"Eta of 2," Harry yelled from the front. Niall was already putting the things ready for transporting Luke into the ER.
"Let's get your brother better," Niall said as he grabbed the tablet and secured it at the edge of the bed.
**
"Alright 12 year old Luke Irwin. Anaphylaxis to peanuts. Consumed bread with peanut butter on accident. Epipen admitted at scene by his oldest brother. Hung a bag of 20 cc of adrenaline on the way. No breathing at arrival, still bagging due to swelling in the airway," Niall said as he ran with Luke towards a cubicle. Dr Payne, highest trauma pediatrician there was at the moment, took a look at Luke his stats.
"Just give him another round of adrenaline when that container empties."
Niall nodded and placed Luke onto the ventilator so that Niall didn't havt to bag him manually.
"Maybe give him a shot of steroids?" Niall wondered. Liam seemed to think about that since he found Luke quite young to be exposed to steroids.
"No I rather use Antihistamines since he" s too young for steroids," Liam explained as he wrote some things down," Dr Horan give him 30cc of Antihistamines than the swelling will reduce and his blood pressure will increase since that's a bit low at this point."
Niall did as Liam asked and hung an extra saline with it as well since Luke was beginning to show some symptoms of dehydration as well.
" So he's allergic to peanuts?" Liam asked Calum who just stood there watching his little brother practically fighting for his life.
Calum nodded in agreement. "Yes but he changed the bread on accident with his older brother so he accidentally ate peanut butter and jelly."
"I see," Liam said, "you look like a minor. Is their someone picking you up. Your parents maybe?"
"No our parents left us alone some day and now our older brother takes care of us," Calum explained as he took Luke his hand.
Suddenly Luke his stats went crazy and Liam immediately shot into action while Calum backed away scared to death.
"Hey Luke it's alright yeah," Liam calmly spoke to him, "I'll take it out just a moment."
Liam undid the top piece of the ventilator and slowly managed to pull the tube out. As the tube was out, Luke began to make gagging noises and Niall shot a bucket under his chin. Luke began to throw up haively because of the amount of adrenalin he got injected into his system.
"Welcome back," Liam said as he placed an oxygen mask over Luke his mouth.
"We'll get your other brothers alright," Niall said to Calum and Luke as he left. Liam stayed knowing there might be another round of anaphalexis.
Not much later Niall returned with Ashton and Michael. Once the two saw that Luke was awake they immediately embrased the youngest.
" Alright boys," Liam spoke up, "I'll leave you alone but I'll be back soon to discharge him. That would take around 6 to 12 hours since there is still a change of a second anaphylaxis."
All nodded and tanked Niall, Liam and Harry for taking care of Luke.
Once Liam left the cubicle Ashton threw himself towards his brother and apologized thousands of times. Luke made sure that Ashton knew that it wasn't his fault and that accidents like that were human to make.
