Save Me and I'll Save You L.S

Chapter 23

A/N Hey, so I finally found some more time to get this chapter done, sorry for the wait! <3

Ok one more thing, the pov jumps around this chapter so if you are confused please comment and I'll do my best to answer, but its mostly Harry! 

Harry

Everything felt sore and heavy, for a moment Harry felt confused as to why his limbs weren't listening to him. That was until he inhaled deeply recognising the familiar sterile scent of the hospital, opening his eyes he shifted his head ever so slightly and admired the sight beside him.

Louis was curled on his side facing Harry, his delicate face nestled into Harry's chest. Harry was astounded at how someone could look so perfect in their sleep, Louis's eyelashes flickered gently in time with his rhythmic breathing. 

As Harry started to feel the medication wear off and his body gain more consciousness his dry throat was made evermore prominent. Not thinking he reached for the cup on the bedside forgetting about his aching body and cracked ribs.

"OH FUCK" Harry shouted out in pain as he hunched over slightly trying to ease the now intense pain of his ribs. Turns out twisting your torso isn't the most comfortable move to attempt when your ribs are freshly cracked. 

Louis shot up beside Harry, his breathing now panicked after being disturbed from his sleep. His gaze swivelled around the room, blue eyes wide in panic. 

"Harry what is it, are you ok?" Louis asked a concerned look quickly spreading over his features as he noticed Harry's face which was twisted in pain. 

The pain shooting through Harry's body was too consuming for him to be able to form a verbal response for Louis, and instead grunted although it came across as more of a whimper. Louis wasted no time darting off the bed and out the door in search of a nurse. 

It was only a matter moments before Louis returned practically dragging a weary-eyed nurse behind him. In the time Louis had been gone Harry had sat more upright and was doing his best to downplay the whole situation, but Louis wasn't having it.

He took it upon himself to get the nurse to give Harry a full checkover including prodding around his ribs causing him to shout out again.

"Mr Tomlinson, I understand that you are in a lot of pain right now, but please try and remain still." She said not looking up from where she had returned to prodding him, although now Harry wasn't focused on the pain. 

'Mr Tomlinson?' He mouthed at Louis tilting his head slightly and shooting Louis a cocky smile. Louis who was now blushing furiously had forgotten that he had used his own last name for Harry, only to keep is identity unknown just incase his crazy father was stalking him. It was definitely just a precaution, and obviously not because he secretly loved how it sounded, Harry Tomlinson, obviously.

Harry who had now taken to grinning like a maniac remained silent while the nurse finished checking over him and gave him another dose of pain killers. The moment the nurse shut the door behind her Harry was pestering Louis.

"Hmmm last time I checked I can't recall being married?" He shot Louis a fake confused expression before breaking out into a deep laughter, but quickly stopped wincing and clutching at his side. 

"That's karma for laughing at my strategic thinking." Louis responded sticking his nose in the air. 

"And how is giving me your last name strategic?" Harry questioned, an amused expression settling over his face, tongue swiping over his bottom lip. 

"It was for your protection really just so...you know if your nutty dad was trying to find you there wouldn't be a record of Harry Styles in the hospital." Louis said aware of the tension now filling the small room at the mention of Harry's father.
