Chapter 22

Louis was having the urge to smother himself with a pillow for about an hour right now.

"Someone probably put a curse on you, I am very sure of it." Niall said from where he was sat at the end of Louis' hospital bed.

They were again stuck in the hospital just like before and Louis was getting sick of the antiseptic smell and disgusting food.

"Shut up Niall." Louis grumbled hatefuly at his over-chatty friend.

He would like to smother him too.

"Calm down Louis." Harry said in worry from Louis' side.

He was standing behind the nurse who was checking Louis' blood pressure, the nurse who was also staring at Niall like he had lost his mind.

"But don't you see? You're like a magnet for disaster." Niall continued on.

"I said shut up or I will kick you out." Louis threatened him.

"Please hold still Mr. Tomlinson." the nurse told him when he tried throwing a pillow at Niall.

"Maybe it's because you failed to retweet that tweet that said If you didn't do it, you'll get bad luck for 85 years." Niall explained.

The nurse was getting frustrated about Louis moving too much, she was getting a hard time looking for a vein on Louis arm. She needed to put an IV and leave this room already.

"I swear Niall if you don't shup up, you'll be the one requiring medical help." Louis huffed in frustration and glared at the nurse when she just went right in and stabbed him with the needle.

The nurse gave him a not so apologetic look and continued checking on Louis' vitals.

"Fine."

When she double checked if everything was in places, Harry decided to finally ask what he was thinking since he arrived at the hospital.

"Will he be needing any surgery?"

The hard look on the nurse face suddenly softened upon looking at Harry. Louis would have scoffed angrily at the nurse who has been giving him and Niall a cold shoulder but he couldn't blame her.

Harry looked like a kicked puppy since they arrived at the hospital and made sure to never leave Louis' side, only letting the nurse near him because he knows Louis needed to be checked.

"No, it was just a light tear, so someone will come here in a few to stich it back up." the nurse answered him gently.

"Thank god for that." Niall sighed gratefully.

He has been getting anxious as well but tried to not show it so he ended up annoying the hell out of Louis to get his mind of the fact that he almost died...again.

The nurse shook her head at Niall before checking Louis' vitals one more time and leaving the room.

"Should I sue her?" Niall pondered as he stared at where the nurse left.

Louis sighed in exasperation and decided to ignore his friend, he looked at Harry who was only staring at his nails blankly. Louis tried to get his attention but it seems his mind was elsewhere.

He was about to call his name when he suddenly heard footsteps running from outside which made Harry snap out of his reverie and was quick to run into Louis side, an alarmed look on his face.

Before Louis can ask if there was something wrong, Liam appeared with Zayn. They looked a little bit panicked as they searched the room but once their eyes landed on Louis who was alive and breathing, they both released a sigh of relief.

"Oh god Louis?" Liam breathed out before walking closer to Louis' bed to get a better look.

"I'm fine." Louis rolled his eyes but deep inside he was feeling grateful to have such amazing friends who were worried for his well being.

You get a few chance in life on finding friends like them.

"Christ man, who did you pissed off to get so unlucky." Zayn said after making sure there wasn't any life threatening danger on Louis' bruises.

"That's what I was telling him about." Niall muttered from where he was lying on the foot of Louis' bed.

He has been looking through his phone since Liam and Zayn arrived to try and look if the guy who was filming the incident earlier has uploaded anything.

If he does, Niall will give hell and send him traffic ads for viagra and porn sites.

"I swear if anyone continuous uttering superstitious belief then I choke someone." Louis groaned as tried to roll over and hide away but Harry was making it hard because he wouldn't move or budge from where he sat.

Louis was going to have to talk to him and ask what was going on but Harry's phone started ringing which made everyone in the room look at him. Harry's phone was on the table on the other side of the room so he slowly walked towards it to try and check who was calling, a worried frown written all over his face as he did so.

When Harry took his phone and checked the caller ID, his frown instantly vanished and was replaced by pure relief.

"Who's calling?" Louis asked curiously.

"Your mum." Harry said with a small smile before answering the call and walking out of the room.

"Alright, which idiot called my mom?" Louis fumed as he looked at his friends while Harry talked to his mom outside.

Louis was sure it wasn't Harry since he didn't have his phone since they arrived and he knew his mom might have called him too but he left his on the office.

He looked at Niall who only gave him a shrug and then at Zayn.

"Liam." Zayn quickly answered when Louis gave him a hard stare.

Liam looked at Zayn in betrayal.

Louis then directed his look at his friend who was giving his a sad puppy look.

"Sorry, I just panicked when I heard you were at the hospital again." Liam explained to him.

"I swear to god if she flies the whole family again I will end you." Louis hissed, puppy dog look be damned because his mother already had enough scare for a year, she didn't need to know about this because she'll make sure to not let Louis out of her sight again.

"It's okay Lou, I told her not to worry." Harry butted in after he finished the call with Louis' mom.

They stared at each other for a moment and Louis knew that something was bothering Harry and the lads knows it too.

"We'll be in the cafeteria, get some rest Louis." Liam quickly said after feeling that they should give both Harry and Louis some privacy.

He knew they probably didn't have much time on their own since Niall refused to leave them so Liam is going to drag Niall if it needs to.

"Why do we go there? The foods weird in there." Niall aaked, confused when Liam tugged him to his feet.

"Let's just go Niall." Zayn sighed before helping Liam drag him out of the room leaving just the two of them alone.

Louis stared at Harry who was now busy staring at the white hospital floor.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked tentively when louis refused to break the silence.

Louis closed his eyes and took a long suffering breath of relief.

"Like I was hit by a bus." he muttered in answer.

Harry flinched a little as Louis' crass.

"Don't even joke about that." Harry croaked.

Louis immediately opened his eyes and tried sitting up but Harry was quick to run to his side to stop him because he knew he might worsen his wound.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Louis tried to apologize as Harry scooted next to him on the bed, the bed was really small but Harry fit himself just fine next to Louis.

He made Louis into a little spoon as he hugged him, breathing in slow jagged breath on Louis' neck.

Louis lets him.

They were both quiet and just enjoyed each others warmth and Louis was getting rather concerned about Harry.

When Harry decided to speak, Louis' heart broke a little.

"It's just... I saw you, you were lying on the road and I saw the bus heading your way and..."

Louis quickly tries to turn himself around so he can be face to face with him.

Harry was crying.

He had tears streak on his face as he sobbed quietly to Louis.

"No shhh, I'm fine, I'm here and I'm fine." Louis stated as he tried wiping his tears away, he felt helpless.

Harry tried to compose himself by taking a deep breath and pulling Louis closer.

"God, I just..." he trailed off.

"I'm here Harry." Louis reassured him.

He didn't know what kind of pain Harry was feeling but it must be something big because he never saw him break down like that.

"I-I saw it, I saw it Louis." Harry muttered after a minute.

Louis wanted things to be fine, he didn't want to see Harry looking lost and wreaked because of him.

This was just not fair.

"You saw what?" Louis asked him to continue.

Harry sniffed a few times before looking at Louis.

"You weren't accidentally bumped, I...- someone pushed you."

Louis stared at Harry in confusion and then in disbelief.

"What!?" He asked loudly, heart beating erratically at his chest.

"I don't know if it's my mind playing games, but I really saw someone, it was a guy and he hurriedly walked to your direction while you were picking something on the ground and then."

Harry keeps trailing off.

"Harry." Louis called his name to try and pull him out of his thoughts.

"He pushed you." Harry muttered almost to himself, as if reviving such a horrible memory.

Louis was feeling a bit sick to be honest and he doesn't know what to say or add.

Harry continued relieving what he witnessed though, he must have mistaken Louis being quiet to someone needing further answers.

"I was going to run after him, but I couldn't because I wanted to make sure you were alright." Harry hurriedly spoke, trying to make Louis believe that he didn't let the guy escape.

"Calm down." Louis worriedly said as Harry's breath started to quicken.

"You could have gotten seriously hurt." Harry mumbled.

"It's not your fault." Louis told him firmly because it's not.

Even he would have a hard time making a decision considering the circumstances.

"I can't...what if it was Jonah?"

"The stalker?" Louis asked in disbelief.

"I didn't get to see his face but what if it was him?" Harry asked, almost sounding panicked.

"Harry, just calm down for me okay?" Louis was seriously contemplating calling a nurse because Harry seemed to be really freaking out.

"You were hurt because someone was so obsessed with me that they'll hurt the people I love. This is all my fault." Harry angrily said before slowly detaching himself from Louis and standing up to the far corner of the room.

He started pacing from left to right and it feels like he would bolt any second but he was too worried that Jonah would return to Louis and finish what he started.

"Stop it!" Louis shouted as Harry looked more and more worrying as the minute passed.

"I shouldn't have move, I should have stayed away."

Harry looked hurt, broken and worried at the same time and the look in his eyes made Louis believe that he was telling the truth.

Louis wanted to scream and he did.

"Harry Edward Styles!"

Harry stopped from his pacing and stared at Louis, unsure and worried.

Always looking worried as if Louis would die any second.

"Lou-"

"No, shut up." He cut him off angrily.

Louis was not going to just die just like this, not like this.

He was feeling so damn furious all of the sudden.

"But-"

"I said shut up!" he exploded.

He could care less of the other patients in this hospital but what Harry said earlier sounded like a break up and Louis is so not in the mood for that.

He just almost got run over by a freaking bus for godsake.

He stared at Harry straight in the eye as he spoke.

"You are not going to break up with just because I am in love with you and a lunatic is out to get me because of it, you do not." he stated firmly.

Harry looked away from him but didn't say anything.

Louis waited for him to say anything.

"Okay." Harry sighed before walking over to Louis and lying back down beside him.

He wrapped his arms around Louis and stayed quiet, the only sound you could hear was the bustling noise of hospital employees outside of the room and their breathing.

"We will figure this out alright." Louis whispered, almost to himself but he knew Harry heard as he tightened his hold around him.

"Alright." was Harry's only reply.

●▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬●

The boys came back after an hour and Louis had filled them in to what was going on after Harry received a call from his lawyers and left the room to speak to him privately.

"So another person who wants Louis dead is out there?" Liam asked with a concerned frown.

"My life was so boring before, why did I end up getting chased by serial killers" Louis groaned.

He's life felt so much like a drama series.

"Technically he's a stalker." Zayn pointed out but he was just as concerned as anyone in the room.

"It's your fault because when we all moved in you suspected us as one of them." Niall grumbled.

He was pissed because Louis was yet again in danger and they can't really do much about anything.

"Louis never suspected me." Zayn joked to try and lighten up the mood.

Harry decided to finally return to the room and everyone notice the little glare he sent on Zayn's direction.

Louis' little crush on Zayn from the beginning was still a touchy subject for him.

"Shut up Zayn." Harry grumbled before going over to Louis and lying next to him again, almost squishing Louis with his weight but still mindful of his injuries.

"Everything alright?" Louis asked as they all stared at Harry worriedly.

Not only do they need to worry about Louis, they need to think about how this must feel for Harry too.

"I just talked to my lawyers and they said the police already has Jonah for questioning." Harry breathed out as he closed his eyes.

Everyone looked a little taken aback by what Harry said.

"That was quick." Niall said in surprise.

Everyone knew the police worked a little too slow for stuff like this like catching the bad guys on time.

"This is great news." Liam cheered, relieved beyond compare.

He looked like he aged 10 years when Louis told them what was happening.

He never handled stress that well.

"Should we go there?" Zayn asked, unsure.

He knew that Harry needed to testify so that they can have a case, this case if proven will be the certainty of his arrest.

That fucked up stalker needs to be put behind bars.

"Of course we should, we should beat him up before we throw him to in." Niall huffed.

No way would he let the guy just get arrested, he deserved a long time of pain and suffering for what he did.

"No one is beating anyone up Niall." Liam sighed, the wrinkles reappearing on his face again at the mere thought of a brawl even if everyone knew that Niall was far from being a physical person.

"You'll get thrown in jail along with him." Zayn added.

"I'll make him my prison bitch." Niall stated.

"I bet you're the one going to end up being the prison bitch." Louis muttered.

Harry didn't add anything to the conversation so Louis decided to speak to him.

"Harry? Are you okay?" Louis asked, probably lost count on how much he'd ask already.

"I'm fine." Harry said as he gave him a tight lipped smile.

Such lie.

"I'm okay, you don't have to stress yourself anymore. He's already caught and under custody, you just need to make a statement." Louis reassured him.

He lost count on how much reassured him too

"I'm really sorry." Harry apologized sincerely.

"It's fine, it'll be better if you have given me the heads up about the stalker thing." Louis told him because really, a warning would have been great.

"Are you going to break up with me because of it." Harry asked him sadly.

"Don't be stupid, I have a boyfriend who is so attractive that a guy is willing to kill me because of it." Louis joked but instantly regretted what he said.

"Don't joke about it." Harry looked pained at the mere idea.

Louis should really learn how to not make inappropriate jokes.

"I'm sorry." now it's Louis' turn apologizing.

This was just going to end up in a non stop loop of apologies.

"We need to go Harry." Zayn finally said after Harry's phone vibrated.

It's been vibrating non stop and they were just ignoring the inevitable.

"I don't want to leave Louis." Harry said helplessly.

As much as Harry wanted this over with, he didn't want to leave Louis again.

"I'll stay with him." Liam volunteered.

Harry looked at Liam.

"Are you sure Liam?" He asked.

"Liam took kick boxing lesson Harry, if any of us needs protecting, he's the best." Zayn explained to him.

The earlier they get this over with, the better and Liam really is the best candidate, he didn't know why they even started with Niall to be in the body guard duty, it should be Liam.

"Are you going to be okay?" Harry asked as he turned to Louis who was ready to pass out and sleep, he was really getting tired because of the pain meds the nurse gave him earlier.

He was just trying to fight it off and stay awake until anything good happens.

"I'll be fine, I promise." Louis said and then let out a rather embarrassing yawn.

Harry still looked conflicted.

"I won't take him out of my sight Harry." Liam told Harry seriously.

Harry sighed but nodded, he kissed Louis' forehead before standing up.

"Okay, I just need to make sure he doesn't get to you again." Harry told to Louis as he tucked him under his blanket so he'll be comfortable.

"You do that." Louis blinked at him sleepily.

Harry smiled at him and kissed him on his lips.

"If anyone has anymore secrets about having past deluded rapist and stalker who's willing to kill people, now is the perfect time to say it." Zayn sighed before he kissed Liam as they ready themselves to leave.

"Well there is this one guy who gave me an evil eye because I cut him on the line in McDonald's." Niall said to him as they walked out of the room.

Louis rolled his eyes at Niall and sent Harry one last worrying look as he left with a small wave.

He hoped that he'll be okay.

He prayed that they'll be okay.
