I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 19

"Keep your head above the water Louis" Harry is yelling.

"We're coming Louis hang on" Zayn yells.

I'm trying desperately to keep my head above the water. My body aching and my lungs struggling to take each breath.

Andy manages to run ahead of me and out onto a log that's hanging over the river, he reaches out and I manage to grab his hand as the water rushes me past him.

"I've gotcha, I've gotcha Lou" he says and Harry comes up behind him to help him grab me. The current is so strong is hard to hold on. I can feel myself slipping.

"Don't let go, please" I yell over the sound of rushing water.

"Hang on baby, we'll get you out, just hang on" Harry tells me.

I can't though the current is too strong and it's so slippery and I feel my hands break contact with Andy's, my fingers try desperately to reattach to his but they slip through and I'm in the water again.

"Louis!!! No Louis!!!!!" I hear as my head disappears underwater.

I try to reach the surface again and I gasp of air when I do.

"Louis" I hear Harry's desperate voice

"Keep your head up Louis!" Zayn yells panic evident in his voice.

I'm so weak and tired my body is exhausted and I try my hardest to keep my head above the water but I can't, my body is too weak and it slowly gives up, my whole body is underwater and all I can hear is the rushing of the current, I can feel my lungs running out if air and I feel my body jerk as I try to fill my lungs but all I get is water. Darkness starts to take over and all I can do is let it. I can't fight anymore my body has nothing left.

HARRYS POV

I watch on terrified as Louis head goes under and it doesn't come back up. Before I can think I'm jumping in the water.

"Harry!!" Zayn yells but I don't listen, I need to get to Louis.

The water is coming too an open lake and the current starts to slow down, I can see Louis body in the water and I grab him around the waist and pull him to the surface. He is unconscious and not breathing,

"No, no, no Louis" I find myself chanting.

I see Zayn and Andy further down the river and as we pass them I grab onto them and pass up Louis, Andy grabs him and places him on the ground while Zayn grabs me and helps me out of the river. By the time I get out of the water, Andy is working on Louis, pumping his chest and breathing into his mouth, trying to get him to breathe. He looks so small, his clothes are so big and must have weighed him down heavily in the water, Zayn and I bend down next to them. Louis lips are blue and he looks lifeless. I reach down and swipe his fringe to the side, I can't loose him.

"Come on Louis" Andy is saying as he pumps his chest.

"Come on kid" Zayn says under his breath.

"H, two breaths to every five of my chest pumps" Andy tells me panicking.

I feel so numb, Louis isn't breathing and I need to help him, I can't loose him. Tears are streaming down my face as I nod and move to position to take over breathing in his mouth. The rest of the team has caught up with us and are all hanging back stunned and silent.

"1,2,3,4,5 Breathe" Andy says.

I lean down, pinch Louis nose and breathe my breath into Louis, filling his lungs.

"1,2,3,4,5 Breathe" Andy repeats again.

"Come on baby, please" I tell him.

I reach down again and lock my mouth with his and breathe out, giving Louis everything I have. My tears are coming freely now.
