They Just Don't Know You (Larry Stylinson AU: A/B/O)

Chapter 49: Lucky

Louis wasn't sure how long he sat like. It felt like years. His neck and back ached from being curved at such an awkward angle, and he couldn't feel his legs, needing to stretch them out in order to get blood circulating in them again.

Zayn was right beside him though, causing Louis to remain tense. He hated that someone he used to consider a friend, and a good one at that, was now radiating with anger and hatred. So much that Louis could smell it, feel it. It increased whenever he shivered under the alpha's gaze.

Louis had been trying to focus on the pain in his neck rather than the numbness in his chest the entire time. It took so much effort he had zoned into his own little world. This black hole where it was just him, alone, the only thing he could see or hear around him was the gun going off and Harry falling to his knees.

So the tears never really stopped. Not even when they heard the familiar name come from one of the doctor's mouths.

"Family of Harry Styles?" the sentence sliced through the silent room like a knife.

Louis's head snapped up so fast he swore he felt his neck break.

He was ready to leap up and run over to the grey haired man wearing the long white coat, but just when he was about to, a harsh growl caused him to freeze.

Zayn was glaring at him, lips pulled back into a snarl.

"I-I need to-"

"No," Zayn snapped, getting up to his feet. "You aren't seeing him."

Zayn didn't give any room for an argument, standing up and brushing past Louis and towards the doctor. Louis wasted no time getting up and following, going against the alpha's wishes.

Zayn spun around, having heard the footsteps along with the sharp inhale Louis took from moving his sore muscles. He had a fire in his eyes.

"Go sit down," Zayn hissed.

"No," Louis croaked, trying but failing to sound firm. "He's my boyfriend."

"That you dumped," Zayn reminded the omega. Louis flinched at the venom in Zayn's voice. "You have no right to be here."

"I do too," Louis snapped, numbness in his chest becoming anger as he was denied to see his boyfriend.

Zayn just rolled his eyes and spun back around, going to the doctor across the room. He couldn't waste his energy arguing with Louis. He had to hear what the doctor had to say about his best mate.

"Family of Styles?" the beta asked once Zayn - and Louis who had followed Zayn after their mini argument - approached him.

"Yes," Zayn answered before Louis got a chance to speak up.

The man quirked an eyebrow, looking at the pair before him. "Are you blood relatives?"

"No," Zayn snapped. "Can't you just tell us what's going on with him?"

"I'm afraid not," the doctor spoke, having little sympathy in his voice as he spoke to Zayn. "This is information that can only be told to blood relatives. That, as well as going back into the ICU to see him-"

"I-I need to go a-and see him," Louis begged, taking a step in front of Zayn. He ignored the alpha's small growl in protest. "Please, I need to-"

"Sir, only blood relatives can go back there at this time," the doctor said again.

"His sister is on her w-way though," Louis croaked. "Please. Please."

"Are you his mate?"
