I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 20

"Ready to go?" He asks.

"Yeah, I don't have your kit though" I tell him.

"It's in my car, you can drive though. I need to sleep a little" he smiles.

I smile back and I head to put our stuff in Andy's Range Rover while he goes to kiss Niall goodbye.

Thirty minuets later and we are on the road, it's 5:30am, I try to call Louis but he doesn't answer, I'm hoping he has just fallen asleep and is okay. Andy falls asleep and it's 8am when we are 10 minutes from Louis, the traffic has been terrible. Andy sirs awake and I try to call Louis for the eighth time.

"Shit" I say when he doesn't answer.

"Is he not answering?" Andy asks.

"No, I've been trying for the last hour with no luck" I say.

"Call you mum" Andy says worriedly.

So I do and she picks up on the third ring.

"Mum" I say.

"Morning Harry" she says coldly and if I was there I'm sure I would have seen her roll her eyes.

"Can you check Louis for me, he isn't answering my calls" I say.

She sighs.

"If he isn't answering you Harry, maybe he doesn't want to talk to you" she says.

"Listen mum, I don't have time for this shit, can you go and check he is okay please" I say harshly.

"Harry why what's wrong?" she asks as she senses my tone of voice.

"You didn't take him to the hospital did you?" I say upset.

"No, but we were going to today, after he has had some sleep" she says.

I can hear her climbing the stairs.

"Louis" I hear her call.

"Is he okay?" I ask.

"He is sleeping" she says.

"Check his temperature" Andy says from beside me.

"Mum check his temperature" I say as I put the phone on speaker.

"He is warm Harry and he is sweating" she says.

"Hi Anne it's Andy, can you go as close to Louis as you can and check on his breathing for me?" Andy instructs.

"Yeah of course" she says.

"Oh my god" we hear mum say.

"Mum? What is it" I ask.

"He is wheezing, it's like he can't breathe, he isn't breathing right Harry" she says desperately.

"Anne, I need you to remain calm, Harry and I are around the corner we will be there in a minute" Andy says.

"What's happening to him oh my god, Louis" she says.

"I'll explain when I get there, right now I need you to try and wake Louis up" Andy says.

My mum tries to stir him but he doesn't wake.

"I can't wake him Andy, please hurry please" she begs.

"We are pulling in the driveway now mum" I say.

I hang up and park the car hurriedly. I jump out of the car and I'm hot on Andy's tail as we race to Louis room. We find mum on the floor next to the bed trying to wake Louis. Louis is on the bed and he looks awful. His skin is a grey colour and he is struggling to breathe, his lips are turning slightly blue and the noise his chest is making is extremely scary.

Andy ushers my mum to the side and instructs her to call an ambulance.

"Tell them my ID number and that I want him transported to London hospital" Andy tells mum.

"But.....but" mum tries to say.

"I'm not backing down on this Anne, he should have been checked yesterday, this could have been prevented. Louis can die from this...please listen to me this time" Andy yells.

I have never heard Andy raise his voice before, my mum nods and goes to call the ambulance.

"Louis buddy, can you hear me?" Andy tries to rouse Louis.

I instinctively go to grab Louis and I pull him to the floor and onto my lap. His back to my chest.

"Louis, it's me...its Harry baby, can you wake up for us" I say shaking him slightly.

I can feel his temperature radiating off of him and his shirt is soaked through. Andy gently taps his face and Louis responds to that and opens his eyes.

"Andy" he struggles.

"Yeah bud, we are getting you to a hospital Lou, I need you to stay awake though okay" Andy tells him.

"I'm.....im sooooo tired" he drawls.

"Darling, can you keep those beautiful blue eyes open for me, just until the ambulance gets here" I ask him,

"Haz, I missed you" he chokes out.

"I missed you too sweetheart, I'm here now and we need you to stay awake for us" I tell him.

He nods his head,

"Why aren't you doing anything Andy, help him breathe" I say to Andy as Louis is struggling hard.

"I can't H, I need the ambulance and their equipment" he says, he does put an oxygen mask on Louis though and that seems to help a little.

"Is he going to be okay?" I ask.

"I hope so H, his lungs are filling up with fluid and shutting his body down. He is drowning from the inside and we need to get him to a hospital and drain the fluid" Andy says.

Fuck, I'm so angry at our mums right now. Louis shouldn't have to suffer like this.

Louis suddenly grabs my thigh tightly and his breathing gets worse, he is gasping for air now and panicking.

"I know it's hard to breathe buddy, just remain calm though. I'm here, just breathe" Andy tells Louis.

Louis tries to relax but it's not working.

"H, calm him down, it's making it worse" Andy tells me.

"Louis, listen just relax, I can hear the ambulance now, they are coming okay. Just relax, they will help you breathe baby" I say.

I kiss him gently on the head and stroke his hair, trying to calm him. Andy doing the same.

When the ambulance finally make it into his room Andy fills them in.

"Secondary drowning, transport to London Hospital, we need to put a tube in and relieve some pressure on the way let's go" he yells at the two stunned ambulance officers.

Everything happens so fast and Louis is whisked away with Andy in the ambulance. Andy promises me once again to protect Louis. I race to my car, wanting to follow the ambulance as quickly as possible.

"Harry" my mum yells at me.

I turn around and glare at her.

"Im sorry, I should have listened I'm so sorry" she tells me.

"I can't do this right now mum. I can't hear this. All I can say is that Louis is living with me, I'm not letting him go again and I don't care what you and Jay say, he's mine now" I say angrily as I get in Andy's car and start the miserable drive to London, waiting for any kind of word from Andy.
