The boys were on their way to a ski trip to Switzerland on their only week off. Usually they used a private plane but it was being repaired right now after some damage from a few weeks back. So they had to go by a regular plane.
But they didn't really care because they loved their fans and there wasn't even a lot of people on the plane. The flight took abou one and a half hour.
When they landed in Switzerland they took the most direct route to their private cabin (is it the right word?) that their team had rented. It was pretty small but big enough for five people.
Niall's POV
"So when are we going?" I asked. I was so excited, this was the first time I got to try skiing and even with my best friends. "Niall chill, we haven't even gotten our bags in yet" Louis replied. And he was right, but I was just so excited.
We brought our stuff in. Zayn, Liam and I shared a room with three beds while Louis and Harry shared the master bedroom. We weren't actually divided in this way, but nobody was here to check so yeah.
One hour passed and everyone had settled down. "Sooo, can we go now?" I inquired. "Alright, what do y'all think?" Liam said. "Yeah, Niall have been a good boy waiting this long without complaining so let's go" Zayn said as he chuckled a little. "Where's Harry and Louis by the way?" Liam inquired. "In their room...no idea what they're doing and I'm not even sure if I want to know" I said making both Liam and Zayn giggle.
Harry's POV
"Hey we're leaving! Are you two coming?" I heard Liam say through the closed door after knocking.
"Couldn't we just stay here for the rest of the day? I'm so comfy in your arms Lou" I whispered in a soft tone. "Awh, baby we can continue cuddling when we come back, we don't need to be there skiing non stop for a week" Louis replied. "Yeah, we're coming! Just give us a minute" he said loudly enough so Liam could hear.
About a quarter of an hour later we started heading towards the ski hills and we got up with the help of the (ski)lifts. We had really fun, we didn't even realize how fast the time went before the sky was becoming dark and stars were visible.
Louis's POV
We had completely lost track of time while we were having so fun skiing. We did some tricks and challanges and everything went perfect. Late in the evening Niall said he was hungry so we decided to go for some dinner.
After the dinner we headed back to our cabin. "Such a great day right!" Niall exclaimed. "I agree, had really fun!" Harry said. And the rest of us agreed as well.
It was getting late and everyone had gone to bed. But for some reason I couldn't fall asleep. I kissed Harry's forhead gently, careful not to wake him up. Then I got up from bed and put on a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants. I went into the hall and put on my coat and shoes and went out to get some fresh air.
I stood there just admiring the beautiful sky and the few lights in the ski hills.
About fifteen minutes later I felt tired again and decided to go back in. Well, fuck. The door was locked. And I didn't have the keys. I felt like such an idiot.
I tried knocking on it but no one heard. And of course I had left my phone inside as well. What the hell was I supposed to do now? There wasn't anyone around either who I could have asked for help from.
I was so tired by now that I really didn't even feel like trying to get in. I sat myself against the door and luckily I found a small blanket on a bench nearby to have on, so I put it over myself and closed my eyes just for a little while.
I woke up a few minutes later but I could feel myself shivering. I was a bit confused and I tried to yell for help but my words were slurred and then everything went black again.
Harry's POV
I woke up early in the morning for some reason. But I was suprised that there wasn't a smol bean next to me sleeping. Where is he? Why hasn't he told me?
"Louis? Are you in there?" I tried to ask through the bathroom door. I took my phone and checked if he had called or sent messages but there was nothing. Even his phone was here.
I knew something was wrong, he usually never wakes up this early, and never leaves his phone like this. I started to panic.
I searched everywhere in the house and found absolutely nothing. I was putting on my shoes when I saw Zayn coming out from their room sleepily. Probably had just woken up. "Morning Z" I said. "Mornin' where are you going?" He asked. "I can't find Louis anywhere" I said as I stood up and put on my jacket. "Alright I'll come with ya" he said.
I opened the door and was shocked. When I opened the door I heard a thud and when I looked down I saw Louis. SHIT.
"Louis!" I shouted as I kneeled knext to him. He was extremely pale, even had a bit of a blue tone. "Louis? Can you hear me?" I tried as I gently slapped his cheeks. I felt how cold he was. "Quick! Call an ambulance Zayn! And wake Niall and Liam up!" I ordered panickingly (that can't be a real word?). "Alright!" Zayn replied.
I dragged Louis inside and but a ton of blankets on him. Every blanket I could find in the house and put a pillow under his head. I checked his breathing repeatedly and it was getting weaker everytime.
"What's taking so long?!" I inquired. "They said help will arrive as soon as possible, about 15 minutes!" Zayb said. "That's a lot of minutes! A lot of too many!" I said, I was so scared. My poor baby was barely alive.
"Just hold on! You're strong!" I tried to say softly while stroking the back of Louis's hand with my thumb. He was so cold. Poor boy.
"What's going on?" Liam asked as he stepped out from their room, Niall following behind. "I...-I don't know h-he just was...layng there un-...unc....I don't know what happened" I tried to say but just broke into tears. Niall hugged me comfortingly. "Thanks Ni" I said and calmed down for a second.
"Where is the ambulance???" I inquired. "Harry it's been 2 minutes" Zayn said, still being on the phone with them, "they're on their way" he added.
I once again checked Louis breathing and I couldn't feel anything. "HE IS NOT BREATHING...HE IS NOT BREATHING" I shouted letting the tears stream down my face. "Start CPR!" Liam instructed. "I don't k-...know CPR" I said between sobs. "Yes you do I'll instruct you!" Liam said. And then I began the CPR with help of Liam. Luckily I could feel Louis's pulse again after a few minutes of the CPR. It was weak, but atleast it was there.
"The medics are nearing!" Zayn exclaimed. "I'll go meet them!" Niall said.
Suddenly there was a bunch of medics working on Louis, pushing me away but I wanted to see what they were doing to my baby. What was going on, would he survive?
They put him on a stretcher and wrapped him in some weird heating blankets. I got to go with him but the others had to stay inside in the cabin. I told them I'd tell everything. We didn't have a car right now actually and there wasn't room for 4 extra people in the ambulance.
"It'll be alright" I said soothingly while glancing at him. He looked so small and fragile. The medics told Louis's body temperature was dangerously low, 27.7°C (82°F). They told me that if he was foubd even a minute later he would have gone to heaven.
We arrived at the hospital about 15 minutes later and Louis was immediately treated by doctors while I was instructed to the waiting room. I texted the boys and told them everything I knew so far. I couldn't stop checking the time.
10 minutes passed; nothing
20 minutes passed; nothing
30 minuthes passed; nothing
One hour passed; nothing
Two hours passed; nothing
Three hours passed; noth-
Finally three hours later I saw a doctor walking towards me, asking if I was Louis's friend and I nodded, didn't have time now to tell the truth. "So, your friend has a severe case of hypothermia. However, he'll be okay, it'll just take some time. He is extremely lucky to be alive, not many people have survived a similar case. He is still unconscious but if you'd like to meet him now, it is possible" the doctor explained. "Yes please" I said.
So the doctor led me to Louis's room and then left me alone with him. He was so still, I've never seen him so calm before. It was like he was there but wasn't.
"Hi Lou, it's me Harry" I said as I sat down on a chair next to his bed (always the chairs next to the bed hahah). I softly told him all of the cute memories I missed and I couldn't help it but break into tears again.
Louis's POV
I felt weird. I opened my eyes but immediately closed them again, I wasn't prepared for the bright light. "Louis! You're awake!" A familiar voice exclaimed softly.
I tried opening my eyes again and blinked a few times to adjust them to the lights. Then I realized the voice belonged to Harry. I looked around confusedly. "Wh-where am I?" I inquired as I tried to sit up but Harry pushed me back gently and said "hey easy now, lay back down. You're in the hospital". "W-why?" I asked, my voice was raspy. "You had a severe case of hypothermia" Harry explained.
I looked around again and realized it was obvious that I was in a hospital room, I even noticed an IV on my left hand and a nasal breathing cannula I had. "Wha-what happened?" I asked. "If I only knew. I was so worried and scared" Harry said.
I saw Harry texting someone and thought maybe it was the boys since they weren't here. "H-Haz?" I whispered, I had barely energy to talk. "Yeah, I'm here" he said. "I-I c-cold" I said. "It's okay, they said it's normal. I can give you an extra blanket if you want?" Harry responded and I nodded. He stood up and went to the closet that was in a corner of the room and took an extra blanket and put it over me. "Here you go Boo" he said, with a smile. "Tha...nks" I said, smiling back.
Suddenly a nurse came in and asked me some questions. "I see okay, we'll keep you here for at least this night, maybe even a few days more" the nurse said and then left.
"How are you feeling?" Harry asked. "A bit weird, like I'm shivering but not that cold anymore...I just want to go home, like home home" I replied. I didn't really feel the same fun of this trip anymore, since I was spending it in a hospital bed. And I couldn't really remember what happened. I told Harry that the only thing I remember was feeling like I couldn't fall asleep and then I went out and ended up here.
Niall's POV
We were all extremely worried when Harry left with Louis to the hospital. Then first three hours later he finally told us that Louis was going to be okay, which was a miracle. And then a little while later he texted us and told us Louis was awake. He said he was a bit dazed and confused but seemed to be okay otherwise. Which made us sigh in relief.
We hadn't even had time to eat or do anything today, we were all busy worrying. "I'm so glad he's okay, Harry said that the doctors said it was a really close call" I said. "Yeah I believe that, he looked like he was already dead" Zayn pointed out. "Ask him when Louis will be discharged" Liam said. And I said "I'm gonna call him instead".
"Hi, you're on the speaker, we were just wondering how Louis is doing?" I said. "He's sleeping right now. They said they'll keep him at least for this night but probably tomorrow aswell and maybe even a night after that, depending on how he recovers" Harry explained. "So he didn't have any ohter damage? Like heart, lung or ribs broken from the cpr?" Liam inquired. "Suprisingly no, he's just a bit confused and has a little trouble speaking but overall he's suprisingly well" Harry replied.
"Alright, I think we should all go to sleep now. Good night Haz and give hugs from us!" Zayn said. "Yeah I'll. I'll stay here with him. Goodnight lads" Harry said and then ended the call.
"I feel so bad. How couldn't we notice Louis was outside? He probably was yelling for help or something but we were just sleeping in out warm beds while he was freezing to death, almost literally" I said, I was feeling guilty even if I knew it wasn't my fault. "I know, I feel bad too but there's nothing we can change now, and the only thing that matters is that Louis is going to be alright" Liam said as he pulled me into a hug. "Yeah, Liam's right" Zayn said as he joined the hug. A while later we went to bed and we all fell asleep pretty quickly.
Harry's POV
"Good morning Lou" I said when I noticed Louis was waking up. "How are you feeling?" I inquired. "B-better I think" Louis responded. "That's great, I think the nurse will come with some breakfast soon" I said as I checked the time and it was almost 10am.
And I was right. Only a few minutes later the nurse knocked on the door and then came in with a tray with food. There was a yoghurt, a banana, a sandwich and a glass of orange juice.
"Good morning Mr. Tomlinson, I brought you some breakfast, are you hungry?" The nurse inquired kindly. "Yeah, a-a little" Louis replied. I helped him sit up and the nurse put the tray on a moveable small table over the bed (hard to explain) and then left.
I admired him while my beautiful boyfriend was eating.
Louis's POV
"Do you want t-this. I'm stuffed alr-..already" I said after eating the banana and half a sandwich. "Are you sure?" Harry asked and I nodded. So he ate the rest and after the breakfast we did pretty much nothing since there wasn't much to do in a hospital.
I had to stay for one more night but then I was released from the hospital the next morning.
Niall's POV
"Omg, they're on their way back now!" Exclaimed while we were eating breakfast and Harry sent me a text that they were heading home now. "That's awesome!" Zayn said and Liam nodded in agreement.
Half an hour later the door opened and there was an alive Louis and Harry holding him up. It was such a relief to see Louis on his own feet again, at least almost.
"Hi Lou, we were really worried" Liam said. "Yeah, s-sorry about that lads" Louis replied. He then looked at Harry and we all understood the assignment, he was probably tired. So Harry led him to their room and let Louis sleep a little.
"So what did the doctors say?" I inquired. "They said everything seemed fine, it'll just take some time to fully recover. He's speaking should be back to normal in a few days though" Harry explained.
We spent pretty much the rest of the trip taking care of Louis. He was mostly tired and just slept so it wasn't that hard. On the last day he was doing pretty good, at least good enough to go home with the plane. Louis got an extra week off because the doctor said he should but the rest of us had to go back to do work normally again.
