Chapter 3

Declan's POV

Andrew was acting stranger and stranger as everyday passed. He was beginning to lose the colour in his face and looked like he hadn't had a decent night's sleep in a while.

I watched him carefully as he shrugged his way down the hallway towards the bathroom; he stumbled and almost fell over a couple of times and had to grip onto the wall for support once.

"Hey man, you okay?" I asked, I wasn't sure what was going on but I was getting worried.

Andrew didn't acknowledge me as he closed the door behind him.

Andrew's POV

I walked back to my room slowly, tripping as I went. The walls around me started to spin as I opened the door to my room, I closed it gently behind me, and let out a small groan. My stomach was churning and I felt like I was going to throw up. I started to sweat and I felt dizzy. Suddenly I collapsed onto the ground in pain, and everything around me turned black.

Declan's POV

I walked down the stairs and towards Rebecca and Paul who were sitting down for breakfast. "Guys' I'm worried about Andrew," I told them, interrupting whatever conversation they were having. "He's acting really weird lately," I added, hoping the others had noticed as well.

"We know but there's not much we can do at the moment…" Paul said looking down; this must be hard for him too.

"Hey Declan, weren't you supposed to go to Uni today?" Mum asked me suddenly.

I looked down at my watch quickly before giving out a little cry of alarm. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" I rushed out the door, barely having time to pick up my bag.
