Chapter 27 Meltdown

Liam's Pov

We sat and watched Harry sleep upon the bed in the room James told us about.

He had led us through a great infirmary room that led to this one and a few more rooms similar. The infirmary was big with many one person beds with white sheets covering each one. There were black cabinets and cupboards with labels of medical supplies and documents. There sanitary equipment and supplies along with shelves of labeled medicines too.

It was very impressive.

As we got into the room, it was small. There were no windows with a small side table with a lamp on it. It sat as the foot of the bed which also had plain white sheets. There was a chair and a small table too with nothing on them.

Louis went over to the bed as James held the door open. Though reluctantly, he laid Harry down and walked out of the room without word before he sat in a chair in front of the glass pane that showed the whole room to where we were now.

Its only been three hours or so since and Harry hasn't moved except for the even rise and down movement of his chest.

There was occasional conversation here and there but most of the time it was quiet. Most of us played on our phone and James had read but Louis barely moved. He kept in his seat closest to the window to watch Harry with arms crossed.

We didn't try to make him move or anything. Just let him sit there as we tried to make conversation. When he wouldn't talk, just giving short distracted answer, we let him be only bothering him to give him water or a snack.

I sighed turning from where Louis sat towards Niall and Zayn who stood beside me.

"Its getting late," I murmured, the time going on eight in the evening.

"He's not gonna want to move," Zayn sighed. I hummed, glancing at him.

"We can try to convince him. To at least eat or something," Niall offered, pushing himself off the wall to stand tall.

"We can try," Zayn clicked his tongue. I hummed and turned towards Louis. The others in their own corner talking while James read and Sébastien stood to the side.

To be honest, Sébastien has been quiet lately. I didn't think about it too much but it did seem put off. We reached Louis and he didn't seem to acknowledge us.

"Louis," I said finally but he didn't turn to look at me, only acknowledging me with a small hum.

"Come on. Its getting late. Harry might sleep through the night and you should eat," I suggested.

He sighed before turning and looking at all of us. At first he didn't say anything and just stared. I waited for any comeback or fight but nothing. Until-

"I love him," Louis whispered, turning back to the glass. The words surprised me but I wasn't at all really shocked. I turned to Zayn and Niall to see both of them with happy and surprised faces.

"When did you realize it?" Niall asked silently, keeping his excitement contained thankfully.

"I've known it for awhile. Maybe beginning of highschool," he murmured, eyes still on Harry. Now this was a shock to us. We knew that Louis's feelings for Harry were strong were he first told us he liked Harry but we never knew that he actually loved him for that long.

And they haven't even been together for long either. But it was amazing to see their connection. You could clearly see they were meant for each other.

"Louis, he won't go anywhere. If you want, we'll come back after we've eaten or something. Just take a small break," Zayn reasoned. Louis just shrugged, looking down at his lap. I glanced at Niall and Zayn.
