Louis thrashed in Nick’s arms screaming and crying as Liam took off running jumping over the side after Harry. “Harry!” Louis cried.

The rest of the boys ran off the side of the pier running down to the water. “Shh, it’s okay Louis,” Nick tried.

Louis just sobbed into Nick’s chest dropping to the ground. “P-please,” He begged.

“We got him!” Zayn shouted.

Nick released Louis as he scrambled to his feet moving as fast he could where he saw Liam holding Harry to his chest and walking up to the sand before laying him down. “Someone call an ambulance!” Niall cried.

Lucas pulled his phone out dialing 911 while Louis dropped to his knees in front of Harry. Louis choked on another sob as he slowly reached out letting his hands skim across Harry’s face. “No. No. No. Harry? Harry baby please wake up,” Louis whispered.

Liam placed his hands over Harry’s chest and began CPR. “Come on Haz,” Nick encouraged everyone silent, practically holding their breath and Liam did compression before giving mouth to mouth.

“Harry,” Louis choked out grabbing his lifeless hand.

A few moment later and Harry was coughing up water spitting it from his mouth. “Oh thank God,” Nick wailed.

Louis pulled Harry to his check. “Harry,” He cried.

Harry didn’t say anything just cried, too weak for anything else. The ambulance arrived just a moment after taking over the situation. Louis rode in the ambulance holding onto Harry’s hand the entire way while the other lads followed behind in the car, Nick calling Anne up to fill her in.

~.~

“Louis!” Anne called rushing into the small room Harry was placed.

Louis stood up, tears falling down his face. “I’m so sorry Mama Anne, I should’ve been there sooner, I should’ve stopped him,” He cried.

Anne wrapped her arms around Louis and hugged him tightly, rocking him back and forth and Loui cried harder at the fact that despite it all she was strong enough to comfort him. “Louis it’s alright, it’s not your fault. He’s okay he’s alive, let’s just focus on that right now. I am so thankful though, you did save him Louis, you saved my baby boy, all of you,” Anne said looking at the other lads. “Thank you, for saving my baby,” She said tears finally spilling over.

Jay came in next and grabbed Anne, pulling her into a comforting embrace. “Shh, he’s okay Anne,” She soothed.

“Yes with time, he should heal,” Dr.Clover said as he entered the room. “It was touch and go when he first got here, but he will be okay. Luckily nothing broke, just bruises and cuts. He will need to take it easy for a bit though to let everything properly heal or he could cause some damage,” He explained.

Anne and Jay talked with Dr.Clover for a few. Louis just sat at Harry’s bedside wanting to reach out and grab his hand, to kiss him and beg him to open his eyes, but he couldn’t with their Mum’s around. “You okay?” Nick asked his hand coming up to rest on Louis’ shoulder.

“Do you-do you think I pushed him here?”

Nick crouched down so he was closer to Louis. “Why would you think that?”

“Because-fuck Nick I was such an ass to him when he first came around and drove him to flashbacks and then I felt something for him and wanted him and maybe that wasn’t right. I mean I was gentle and tried not to push him to anything, but I should’ve just been a brother. I should’ve just been there for him as a friend and not push him into this demented relationship or whatever it is we have. The sneaking and hiding and lying to everyone. I probably drove him here,” Louis sighed.

Nick went over in front of Louis’ chair grabbing bother his shoulders. “Louis I want you to listen to me. You did nothing wrong. Honestly, I bet this was almost a long time coming. I’ve have see him at his highs and lows and he has been holding so much in I knew that there would come a day he might break. I didn’t want to believe it, but you can’t go through what he did and not be okay. You didn’t push him to anything. He loves you Louis, I can see it. He’s just scared and who knows, he might not ever admit to it because of everything. Yes this is one of the craziest relationships to get into, but I think being with you has helped Harry. He was so determined never to be with anyone, that when I heard you two were together, I knew there must have been something special about you,” Nick smiled. “He’s going to be okay. Well, maybe not mentally, but I know that’s something we can all work through together and I think having you by his side, he’ll get through it.”

Louis nodded and hugged Nick. “Thank you,” He whispered.

Nick walked over and sat with the other boys. Lucas walked over and gently traced his hand over Harry’s arm seeing all the bruises. “I don’t get why he can’t see how amazing he is,” Lucas sighed.

Louis looked up at him. “What?”

Lucas shrugged. “I don’t know. He’s just so strong and lovely really, I just wish he could see that ya know?”

Louis nodded. “Yeah.”

Things were silent for a while. Anne and Jay were sitting on the other side of Harry’s bed. The boys were all scattered about in chairs and on the window sill. Things were okay, well as okay as they could be. Louis was just about to fall asleep when Harry shifted on his bed. “Harry?” Anne asked sitting up right. Harry groaned before his eyes slowly fluttered opened.

“M-mum?” He croaked out, his voice so quiet you had to really listen.

Anne cried as he pulled him to her chest. “Oh thank God.”

“H-h-hurts.”

Anne let go. “Oh, sorry Sweetie. How you feeling?”

Harry closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. “Tired. Sad. W-who saved me?” He asked looking around.

Liam raised his hand. “I did. I dove in after you the performed CPR.”

A tear rolled down Harry’s cheek and his breathing picked up a bit. “Why? Why would you do that?” He cried. “Why couldn't you just let me die!” He screamed his breathing becoming erratic making machines beeps and nurses come rushing in. “Shh, Harry you need to relax,” One soothed while the other injected something into his arm. “Just rest Dear.”

Harry continued to cry as his eyelids grew heavy. The last thing he saw was Louis, hands covering part of his face as he cried.

~.~

When Harry woke back up it was dark and the only other person in the room was Louis. “L-lou?”

Louis dropped his phone at the sound of Harry voice before leaning forward and grabbing Harry’s hand. “I’m right here Baby, always.”

Harry offered him a small smile. “What time is it?”

“A little after midnight I think.”

“Why are you still here?”

“I didn’t want to leave it,” Louis said squeezing his hand a little tighter. “I won’t leave you.”

Harry turned his hand in his pillow. “I shouldn’t be here. I’m supposed to be dead.”

Louis shook his head. He held onto Harry’s hand with one hand and let the other come up to card through his curls. “Don’t say that. You deserve to be here and be alive. You’re my strong little soldier alright?”

“I’m not strong.”

Louis turned Harry’s head so he was looking right at him. “Harry, you are the strong guy I know. You’ve been through some shitty stuff, but you’re still here. I know things don’t seem like they can get better, but I promise you I will spend the rest of my life making sure yours is perfect,” Harry bit his lip both boys fighting back tears. “You are so beautiful Harry,” Louis whispered before leaning in and connecting his lips with Harry’s. Harry didn’t even hesitate this time before responding and kissing back. It was sloppy and tears were dripping, but neither boy cared because they just wanted each other.

Harry whined when Louis pulled back making him chuckle. Harry offered him a small smile. “You still love me?”

Louis smiled and nodded. “Yeah...I love you Harry,” Louis cried.

Harry closed his eyes and smiled. “What now?” Harry asked after a few moments of silence.

Louis smiled disappeared and was replaced with one of determination. “Now, we get that bastard Aiden put in jail...for good.”
