I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 9

"Physically or emotionally?" I ask before I can stop myself.

I see Harry's face drop and Liam and Zayn look at him expecting him to answer. He is saved though by a knock at the door, Andy. Liam goes to let him in and when he does Andy comes straight over to me.

"Hey kid, come on let's get you looked at hey!" He says gently.

I follow him into the lounge room and sit down on the couch, I'm so tired I just want to go to bed and forget this stupid day ever existed. Andy sets up and assesses my jaw and fever, he looks me over thoroughly and finishes as Niall and Noah return to the room. Noah comes to sit next to me while Niall Gawks at my face from across the room.

"Alright Lou, your jaw isn't broken but badly bruised and it will be bloody sore for awhile. Since you vomited after you were hit, you may have a small concussion although your reactions and reflexes are fine. I would say it's more to do with the infection you have. I got your blood work back today and it shows there is a nasty infection happening. I've got you antibiotics to take and hopefully it will get rid of it" Andy says.

So it is an infection dam it my stupid cuts, I can't even harm myself correctly. I sigh. Andy hands me a water and a tablet that I swallow.

"Your fever is the highest it's been so I'm hoping those antibiotics kick in soon, in the meantime I want you to rest Louis, bedrest for three days, maybe even a week" Andy starts.

"Wha??? Noway!! I'm fine Andy" I say clearly upset.

"Louis, I am quite happy to admit you into the hospital. If it was anyone else I would be making you go so we can give you antibiotics through a drip. This is a severe infection, you need to listen and do as I'm asking kid" Andy says.

I see Harry pacing the room, he looks worried but why would he care.

"He will listen, right Lou?" Zayn says taking a seat next to me on the opposite side of Noah.

"Yeah I guess" I sigh out.

"Good boy" Andy says.

Andy then gives me something for my fever and the pain and he goes to talk to Harry In the kitchen. Liam puts a movie on in the lounge room and I snuggle up to Zayn's side and bury my face in his calming muscly chest. Noah swings my feet up and lays them across his lap. I'm comfy and relaxed and before the movie even starts I'm out to the world.

HARRYS POV

"What's up Andy, tell me Louis is okay" I ask as we both make our way to the kitchen.

Andy sits up on the bench and I lean my bum against the opposite side and cross my legs. Andy looks at me for a few seconds before he takes a deep breath and rubs his hands over his face.

"Louis, has a severe infection Haz, the type of infection that comes from a cut or something that doesn't heal properly" he says.

"Okay...yeah"'I say, prompting him to continue.

"Well, Louis would know if he had a cut or something on him that was infected. It would be very hard to miss. The cut would be extremely painful" Andy says.

"Yeah, maybe he doesn't want to tell us because he doesn't want us to worry" I say, Louis doesn't like us fussing over him and admitting he has an infection probably isn't at the top of his list.

"Haz, he wears bracelets, every single day, you never see him without them. He, flinches every single time anyone tries to touch his wrists or his hands. When Zayn hurt his wrist that night he nearly flipped out when Zayn asked to see it. I work with kids like this every day H" Andy says, his tone is gentle and calm.
