I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 17

"Don't you dare use that tone of voice with me Harry, we are coming to get him. He needs to be at home, he needs to be back at school tomorrow" my mum says.

"Are you serious right now? He can't go back to school, he just got the shit beaten out of him mum" I say incredulously.

How can she even suggest that Louis go back to that hell hole.

"He has no other choices Harry, he needs to deal with it and go back to school" she says.

"He can stay here with us, he can go to school here in London. I'll look after him mum please....let us do this" I ask, hoping so badly that she gives in to this request.

"I'm sorry Harry, it's better for him. We will let him stay tonight, put him on a train first thing tomorrow, understand" she tells me sternly.

"Mum....ple" I start.

"We have said NO Harry" she says and then she hangs up.

I don't know what comes over me but the tears fall and I'm throwing my phone across the room.

Zayn somehow catches it before it hits the wall.

We all just stand around in silence, this just isn't fair.

Louis whimpers in his sleep and I forget all my anger and frustration and focus on him, he needs me right now and I need to be here for him, even if it's just for the night.

"Hey baby shhhhh" I say gently and stroke his head.

His breathing becomes irregular and he starts sweating, his forehead becoming clammy. His eyes scrunch up and I can see he is in so much pain both physically and emotionally.

"Its okay Lou, I'm here, shhhhh I'm here" I keep telling him.

Suddenly Louis eyes fly open and he tries to catch his breath, he tries to sit up but winces from the pain of his injuries.

"Relax, relax, you're safe shhhhh" I tell him, keeping my arms around him.

He slowly starts to settle down and breathe normally, his head on my chest.

"Go back to sleep baby it's okay" I tell Louis gently.

He shakes his head no.

"I can't, this is why I don't sleep...I can't do this. I can't keep seeing him dead, I can't....it's to much" Louis yells brokenly.

Andy chooses that second to walk into the door from work, he kisses and hugs Niall and greets the boys. Niall fills him in on things and Andy makes his way too the lounge. He smiles at me and kneels down in front of Louis.

"Hey buddy, I've missed you" Andy tells him.

"Andy" Louis says relieved and throws himself at Andy.

He grabs Andy around the neck and hugs him so tightly.

"It's me buddy, it's me" Andy reassures him.

When they pull back Louis has tears in his eyes. He winces and his breath hitches when he tries to lay down again.

"Just relax" Andy says.

Louis rests back on me again and Andy examines him.

"Well, they didn't break any ribs this time, just bruised them. You will be sore for a while but there is no lasting damage" Andy assures us.

I sigh in relief.

"When was the last time you cut Lou" Andy asks him.

Their relationship is strong enough that Andy knows Louis won't loose his shit at the question and will open up to him.
