Gone

13

Louis wakes to a slow beeping noise, his eyes feel like led and he can't seem to move properly, his whole body is so tired. There is something over his mouth and he doesn't like it,

"Ughhhh" he says.

"Lou?" He hears Edward ask,

He feels a hand running through his hair and it's comforting.

"We're right here kiddo" Scott soothes.

Louis finally opens his eyes and comes face to face with the boys, Scott and Drew on his right and Harry and Edward on his left. The comforting hands in his hair are of course Harry's.

Louis reaches for the oxygen masks and pulls it off.

"You need that darling, just leave it on hey" Harry tries.

Tears brim Louis eyes and he shakes his head from side to side.

"You're okay, just relax buddy" Drew says.

Doctor Green then walks into the room with Sammy, Louis breathing picks up, he doesn't like this, he's sore and doesn't want to be here.

"Welcome back Louis, I'm Doctor Green how are you feeling?" The Doctor asks.

"You gave everyone quite a scare their bud" Sammy says when Louis doesn't respond,

She notices Louis oxygen levels are getting low.

"I'm just going to put this back on you, you need it right now" Sammy says sweetly.

Louis shakes his head no and pushes Sammy away when she tries to put it back on.

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, it's okay, it's okay, nothing's going to happen to you, you're okay" Harry says comfortingly as he leans down closer to Louis.

"I don't like it" Louis chokes out and it breaks the boys hearts.

"We know buddy, but it's helping you, can you just trust us Lou" Scott tries.

Louis breathing becomes harsher as he struggles.

"Louis, you're running out of breath because you need that on sweetheart, how's about we try the nasal tubes hey, can you do that for us?" Doctor Green asks kindly, her bedside manner becoming soft with Louis, he seems to have that effect in people.

Louis nods is head.

"Good boy baby" Harry says as he kisses Louis head.

The oxygen tubes are then placed in Louis nose and he begins to calm down and breathe better.

"There you go kiddo" Drew smiles.

"Temp?" Doctor Green asks, as Sammy checks Louis blood pressure and stats.

"38.7" Sammy says.

Sammy and Dr green then discuss things that the boys don't understand. Louis is still so tired and feels like utter shit. He tries to sit up.

"Easy there kiddo" Scott says as him and Harry help Louis sit up.

He cries out in pain but he feels like he's going to spew.

"Just take it easy Louis, we need you to stay as still and rested as possible while your body heals" Sammy says sympathetically.

"I'm going to spew" Louis says.

Sammy is quick to hand Harry a sick bag and Louis vomits what little he has in his stomach. Harry rubs his back through it and the boys look worriedly at Doctor Green.

"It's his infection and all the pain relief, he will be like this for a while i'm afraid" she says.

"Make it stop" Louis says when he's done.
