~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Harry's family was basically perfect, Louis was living on the edge of death, and this time it was for real. Tonight's beating was much, much worse than it usually is. Louis never had to endure a beating this big. He would always, beside that one time, end up with minor cuts and painful bruises. But, for some reason, his father wasn't holding anything back. Louis' mother didn't know what to do, she tried to help him, only to be picked up and thrown across the room getting knocked unconscious.

Louis whimpered quietly as he knew he needed someone to save him. That someone needed to get there fast. "Help," He whispered quietly as he faded into the night and his head lolled to one side. Louis' father just snickered loudly as he disappeared to god knows where.

"Mum! I'm going for a walk, I need to clear my head," Harry yelled out as he grabbed his coat and put on a pair of shoes.

"Alright, be careful!" she yells from the kitchen.

Harry starts to walk to the one place that he always goes to. He goes there all the time and it's the one place that he can go to without no interruptions. He gets to the park and he finds a clearing where the moon light's up the flowers. Harry's mind couldn't help but to wander and end up with Louis and his secret. He wanted to know what he was hiding, he needed to know if he was sick or if he was dying.

"Please, god tell me he's not dying, give me a sign," Harry spoke, and the wind started to blow, "Wait, you're actually listening?" The wind picks up, making Harry shiver in fright. This was making him really creeped out, but maybe he should listen to the wind.

The wind started to whistle, and it almost sounded like he heard, "Help." And the voice sounded a lot like it was Louis'.

Harry's eyes widened, "LOUIS!" Harry quickly starts to run towards Louis' house and he hoped that it wasn't as bad as he thought, but when he got there, it was actually worse than expected. He finds Louis' almost out cold on the floor, and his mother on the other side of the room unconscious.

He drops down to the floor and starts crying at the amount of blood that had been pooling around him, "Lou? Baby, can you hear me?" Harry pats his cheek lightly to wake him up.

Louis coughs a bit before groaning, "Harry, help please. It hurts so bad."

"I will baby, don't worry. I'll get you some help, just hang in there okay?" Louis just nods and closes his eyes, Harry almost panics but calms down when he notices his chest is still moving normally.

Harry was about to get his phone out when Jay finally comes to it and he goes and helps her off the the floor, "We need to get him to the hospital, I can't help him this time."

Harry sighed, "I know, that's what I figured."

"I think it would be better to call the ambulance, he may have a neck injury and it's not a secret that he has some sort of concussion. I wouldn't want to move him without the proper equipment."

"I'll stay with Lou, you know how to get the ambulance here faster."

Jay chuckles and goes off to call the ambulance.

Harry goes over to Lou and drops down to the floor, he grabs his hand and he immediately squeezes it. Louis opens his eyes and he smiles, making Harry smile back and start to tear up.

"Don't cry baby, I'm still here. I will always be here." Louis points to Harry's heart, making his heart flutter.

"No, don't say that baby, god. Tell me why he always does this to you?"

"Alright, I-" He couldn't even get his words out before his eyes roll to the back of his head and he starts seizing. Harry remembered from health class to just put his weight on his arms so he doesn't flail. He notices he's not foaming from his mouth, so he doesn't have to turn him onto his side.

"JAY FUCK! HE'S SEIZING!"

"PLEASE COME QUICK MY SON IS SEIZING!" She yells through the phone, and not a minute later Harry was being removed from Louis as the paramedics came and was able to stop his seizure.

Harry finally looks at the paramedics and notice that their uniforms are different. They are red, when they are supposed to be blue. He furrowed his eyebrows and just as he was about to ask, Louis was put onto a stretcher and loaded into the ambulance.

"Umm...I hate to be a bother, but their uniforms, why were they red?" Harry asks Jay who was cleared from the paramedics and was getting into her car to follow the ambulance.

"I can't answer that because then it will reveal the thing I have been pressuring Louis to tell you. Just wait until he wakes and is out of the blue before you question. Got it?"

"Yes."

"Good, now let's get to the hospital and see what is going on."

They arrive at the hospital and Harry reads the sign, Robert's Hospital for the Unique. He furrowed his eyebrows, once again in confusion and was just about to ask Jay when she was pulling him out of the car and into the hospital.

They get to the desk and the nurse looks up, giving them a fake smile, "Hello, how may I help you?"

"Yes, my son, Louis Tomlinson, was just brought in. Anything you can tell me?" Jay asked desperately.

The lady types into her computer, "Yes, well he was just brought into surgery. Once they are finished the doctor will come and talk to you. Until then, there is a cafe down the hall or you can sit and wait. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you."

"No problem and I hope everything works out."

"Thanks."

Harry and Jay go into the seating area and wait. It felt like hours until a doctor still in operating scrubs comes into the room.

"Family of a Louis Tomlinson?"

Jay was quick to jump up, "We're over here." Harry followed quietly behind her and the doctor motioned for them to follow him right into Louis' room. He was all bandaged up and Harry whimpered at the sight, making Jay rub his arms to let the doctor explain what they were seeing.

"Originally we didn't know what was going on inside of him, so we went into surgery to basically explore everything. We knew that he was starting to cough up blood, so we started into the abdomen and that's where we found the source. We had to remove part of his spleen and kidney since they were badly damaged. He has several broken ribs, but none of them were shattered. When we originally evaluated him, he has a severe concussion, probably from the constant head smashing to the floor, he's lucky his skull didn't fracture. So, to basically help him with healing and getting better, we put him into a medically induced coma, we gave him enough to be out for a week, but that depends on when he wants to wake up. If his body doesn't think he's ready, he will stay in that deep state until he's ready. Once he wakes up, he'll be on his feet in a month after he gets out of the hospital. He won't be able to go back to school for awhile, just until he's cleared. A nurse should come by later to explain everything about concussions and what not to do when you have one."

Jay nodded, "Doctor, I'm actually a nurse at the main hospital here, so I'm okay with the knowledge on them."

The doctor smiled, "That's good. Any other questions?"

Harry nodded, "What caused the seizure?"

"Since his concussion was so severe, his brain swelled causing a reaction. It was a one time thing and he won't be having another anytime soon. Anything else?"

Harry and Jay both shake their heads, no. The doctor tells them that if they need anything to get one of the nurses and if something is happening with Louis, do the same and then they'll page him. He leaves the room quietly.

Harry goes over to Louis and takes his hand into his, and Louis' instantly squeezes it. Harry froze, "Jay, he squeezed my hand!" Jay took Louis' other hand in hers and he squeezes that one too. Jay quickly buzzed for the nurse and she instantly came in.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Is it normal for a coma patient to squeeze hands?"

"It's possible, but let me see." The nurse takes his hand and he squeezes harder than usual. "Excuse me." A few minutes later the nurse came back with the doctor.

"Let's see something." He takes his pen and pulls back the blanket and runs it against Louis' leg and it twitches.

"Now I know you may think that it might be good to wake him up, but due to the extent of his injuries it won't be healthy for him to wake up. I will just lower his meds a bit more. I just want him to heal at his own time without putting the train on his organs."

"Thank you doctor." For the rest of the night, they sat in quietness, waiting for Louis to finally wake up. He didn't wake up until the sixth day that he was in the hospital.

"Harry?"

Harry was startled awake and he got over to Louis, "Hey baby, how are you feeling?"

"I'm not dead, so I'm good. Just a little pain." Louis chuckles, wincing a little bit as he tries to sit up. Harry helping him the rest of the way.

"Let me go get the doctor." Harry pecks Louis' lips and calls for the doctor. He evaluates Louis thoroughly and was able to move him out of intensive care.

Once Louis was settled, Harry was going to sit down when Louis grabbed his arm to sit down on the bed next to him. Harry sits next to him and Louis just places his head onto his chest. Louis looks up and grabs my face to kiss me softly.

Harry breaks the kiss and sighs, "So, this may come out wrong, but Louis, what is it that you're hiding from me?"

Louis shakingly sits up and finally pulls off his beanie and he sees something move in his hair. Harry reaches forward and moves his hair, only to find little ears, he rubs them making Louis pur. Harry's eyes widened, "Ears? You-you have ears on the top of your head?" Harry gets up and leaves the room, he doesn't look back. He hears his name being called, but he doesn't stop. Harry couldn't understand why he was keeping it from him. Harry can hear Louis' hysterical cries, but he still doesn't stop.

Harry angrily wiped off his tears, "He lied to me." He whispered as he left the hospital.
