Part 22
Louis comes too after two weeks under, his eyes feel like led as he opens them slowly, he's sore and confused as hell. He has no idea where he is.
"Louis, kiddo, you're okay" Scott tells him.
"Oh god Louis, darling relax I'm right here just relax" Harry tells Louis as he strokes his hair gently. He's so relieved Louis is responding after two weeks of nothing,
"I can't breathe" Louis gasps. His chest feels so tight and he's so sore.
"We know just relax and take some slow deep breaths kid" Scott says.
Drew and Edward watch on worriedly as Louis panics.
"Baby, you're safe, I won't let anything happen to you, just relax your breathing" Harry says.
"Where am I" Louis asks as he tries to calm down.
"You're in the hospital, Scott's here and Ben and Casey are looking after you, you're going to be okay" Harry says.
"Harry, i can't remember, why am I here" Louis asks tears in his eyes.
Harry looks to Scott for support, he doesn't know why Louis doesn't remember anything.
"Go get Casey" Scott says to Edward and Drew, they nod and exit to find Casey.
"It's okay Lou, it's all normal, what's the last thing you remember" Scott asks.
"Umm I....I don't know" Louis worries.
He sits up and pushes through the pain, he takes his oxygen mask off.
"Relax darling, shhhh" Harry tries as he kisses Louis head and Louis latches in to him. He's just thankful Louis remembers him.
"Welcome back Louis" Casey smiles as she enters the room.
Louis can't help the tears then, they fall freely from his eyes.
"Oh honey, you're fine, you're going to be fine. I'll give you some pain relief and you'll feel a lot better" Casey says as she gives Louis some pain relief through his drip. It helps instantly and Louis does feel better but he's still uneasy about not remembering why he's in the hospital.
"Can you lie back for us hun" Casey asks sweetly.
Louis shakes his head no.
"I know you're sore but you've got some injuries that need you to be lying back" Scott says gently.
Louis again shakes his head no, he doesn't want to let go of Harry.
"Darling, I promise I'm going to sit right next to you and I'll hold your hand the whole time Okay" Harry tries.
Louis slowly gives in then and lays back with Harry and Casey's help.
"Good boy baby" Harry says.
He holds Louis hand and strokes his hair and wipes his tears away as Louis drifts back off to sleep, he has no control over his body and he falls.
"Is it okay that he can't remember what happened" Harry asks concerned.
"We won't know too much until we can talk to him more" Casey says.
"It could be him just blocking something traumatic out, or it could be a result of the bleed. He remembers all of us and that's a great sign" Scott says.
Harry nods, he decides to go take a shower and get changed now he knows Louis is okay. Alberto has been bringing everyone meals and should be here soon.
After Harry has showered and changed into his grey sweats and a blue sweater he takes his spot next to Louis again.
"You okay Harry?" Scott asks as he strolls Int'l the room.
Drew has been busy closing up the case against Sam and Dan, they won't be seeing the light of day anytime soon, Edward has had to work as well and has been splitting his time between the hospital and the apartment. Scott and Harry have pretty much lived at the hospital. Harry hasn't left Louis side and has been trying to work as best he can from his laptop and phone.
"Yeah I'm just so glad he's okay" Harry says.
"He's lucky to have you Harry, thanks for being by his side" Scott says sincerely.
Harry looks towards Scott.
"I wouldn't be anywhere else, he's my world" Harry says with conviction.
"We know, Thank you for the hospital floor and the private nurses, feeding us and everything. We really can't thank you enough" Scott says.
"It's the least I could do, I want this kept as private as possible for Lou, I know he struggled with the media after the accident" Harry says.
"Yeah, it really took its toll on him, so thank you for the privacy" Scott says.
Harry rubs his hands over his face,
"What is it?" Scott asks. He can sense Harry needs to say something
"I....my team need to issue a statement, it's been two weeks and they are on my back about it. I know he deserves privacy and I've tried my hardest to give it to him but I need to issue a statement and I don't want him to be upset at me for it" Harry says regretfully.
"I don't think Louis will be upset Haz, he knows what comes with being in a relationship with you, I think he just needs you to be by his side like you are, nothing else will matter if he's got you" Scott says.
Harry smiles shyly.
"Thanks Scott" Harry says and Scott returns the smile.
Louis then stirs on the bed again, he wakes feeling a little less fuzzy but so tired and sore.
"Hey There sleepyhead" Harry says fondly.
"Hi" Louis whispers out.
"How are you feeling?" Scott asks.
"Fine" Louis says and Harry and Scott share a chuckle.
"Would you like some water?" Harry asks and Louis nods, his throat is so dry.
"Can I sit up" Louis asks cutely.
"I can put the bed up a little bit" Scott says and he moves the bed so Louis torso rises a little.
Harry helps Louis sip on some water through a straw.
"Good boy Lou, are you hungry at all?" Harry asks.
"No" Louis says
"We're going to have to get you eating as soon as possible Lou, we need to help you recover" Scott says.
"Is it as bad as last time?" Louis asks his brother innocently.
"It's different kiddo, I'm so sorry" Scott says.
Louis holds back his tears and Harry and Scott hate that they can't take Louis pain away.
"I need to ask you a few questions about what happened, is that okay?" Scott asks gently as he and Harry take a seat either side of the bed.
"I still can't remember anything" Louis says shakily.
"Well, You've had what we call a bleed on the brain and sometimes that can make your memory a little fuzzy, or it could be that you just don't want to remember it and your body is blocking it out. What's the last thing you remember" Scott asks gently.
"I.....I.....Harry and spilling the milk and Harry being mad at me" Louis says upset.
"Ohh darling boy, I was never mad at you, I was just stressed out and I am so sorry I took it out on you" Harry says
Louis is quiet and he looks down as he plays with his fingers.
"Darling what's wrong" Harry asks concerned.
A few tears fall from Louis eyes and hit the bedsheets.
"Kiddo, it's okay" Scott says.
"I don't want to go through this again, I can't do it" Louis chokes.
The boys hearts break.
"Yes you can darling, and this time you have me. You're going to get through this and I know it seems like a long road now but you'll make it, we will make it and that's a promise" Harry says.
Scott smiles at Harry's confession, he knows how much of a difference having Harry by Louis side is going to be.
"I can't even shower by myself and You're going to get sick of me" Louis says.
"Never Sweetheart, I could never get sick of someone I am in love with. I'm here to help you do everything and anything and I always will be, you come first and that's just not going to change" Harry says lovingly.
"I'm scared because I don't remember anything, I don't even know what happened to me" Louis says as he lets a few more tears escape.
"Listen kiddo, as part of your recovery we can't tell you what happened you need to remember yourself I'm sorry, but when you do we will be here for you okay, every step of the way" Scott says.
Louis is so frustrated he just hates this and wants to remember so he can deal with it all.
Lets try some food Hey, how does that sound" Scott asks, trying to lighten the mood,
"Can I go home" Louis asks instead.
"Harry is working on getting your room set up for you, just give us a few more days okay. You're still not out of the woods and in intensive care but if you're doing well, you can go home at the end of the week" Scott says.
Louis eyes begin to droop again, his body so sore and he's still so fuzzy and confused,
"Go back to sleep Sweetheart" Harry says gently.
"Will you stay?" Louis asks.
"I haven't left yet and I don't plan too" Harry smiles and Louis smiles shyly back. His eyes close and he falls asleep peacefully.
