before louis could even react, he felt harry's strong warm body tackle his and he was on the floor within seconds as the gun shots rang out.

the gun shots eventually stopped and louis felt harry get up. he got up as well and looked around.

he gasped as he saw what happened. laying there bleeding was zayn, harry was on his side, he made sure louis was okay before he went over there, putting pressure on the wounds and liam was calling the ambulance.

louis was in shock, he was still sitting there when the ambulance arrived and put zayn in the back. he only came out of it when niall was saying his name, niall? when did he get here? louis thought.

"are you okay?" niall asked softly.

niall was in the park when he heard the gun shots. he wasn't going to run over there but something in his gut made him start sprinting.

louis shrugged. he looked around for harry and found him staring at his red hands.

"wheres liam?" louis whispered, not looking away from harry

"he went with zayn" niall said

louis nodded and continued to look at harry. harry could sense he was staring and looked up. as soon as their eyes met, harry burst out crying.

harry crying made louis jolt out of his sitting position and practically sprint over to harry. he brought him into his embrace and stroked his hair while quietly whispering sweet nothings into his hair.

"i- i can't lose him!" harry sobbed "i cant! h- he's my bestfriend!"

louis started to tear up himself, even though he didn't know zayn for that long he has become one of his closest friends.

"it's ok haz, once we're calmed down we will go down to the hospital and see how he's doing ok?" louis soothed. he felt harry nod and calm down a little, louis kept hugging him and stoking his hair until harry leant back.

"are you okay?" louis asked

harry shrugged. he didn't know how he felt. his bestfriend was shot so many times.

"can we go to the hospital now? i think i'll feel better knowing i'm there even if i can't see him" harry asked

louis nodded and looked at niall, silently asking him to help him get harry up.

together they pulled him up and louis put his arm around harrys waist as harry put his around louis' shoulders. they walked away from the blood and shell casings.

they got to harry's car, which wasn't that far away, and niall took it upon himself to get into the drivers seat, already knowing that harry or louis are in no state to be driving.

niall drives them to the hospital in no time and right as he parks, harry is out of the car.

louis follows after harry and niall follows after louis. as soon as they get into the hospital they immediately see liam in the waiting room, blood all over him and his head in his hands.

harry goes up to him as liam looks up. liam gets up right away and hugs harry so tight that he can't breathe, harry doesn't mind though.

"how is he?" harry whispers as they hug

"i don't know, they took him away as soon as we got here and told me to wait in the waiting room" liam said

harry broke the hug and sat down "how do you think he is?"

liam shrugged sadly "i don't know, zayn is a fighter though"

harry nodded. he looked up and saw louis and started to cry again. as soon as he heard those gun shots he leaped for louis, he didn't care if he hurt himself or louis he just didn't want him to get shot, a couple broken ribs is better than him dying.

it was also in that moment that harry realized he loved louis. he always knew he cared deeply for him but when he covered louis' body with his own, he knew it was out of love and care.

as soon as louis saw harry was crying again he quickly made his way over to him. he sat in his lap and hugged him while shushing him.

"it's okay haz" louis whispered "everything is going to be okay"

harry nodded along with louis' words. he eventually calmed down again but louis stayed in his lap.

"um what about cops?" niall asked "i mean there was a drive by, they're going to want statements"

liam paled "i didn't think of that"

"well i can take you home and if they come louis and harry can give statements" niall said

"are you sure?" liam asked hesitantly

niall nodded "of course, also i should probably get some new clothes for these two" he pointed at louis and harry.

"okay" liam stood up and turned to harry "please call me when you hear something, good or bad i don't care"

harry nodded and louis and him said their goodbyes to niall and liam.

a couple hours passed and harry was starting to get restless. niall had come back to give them some new clothes, to which they changed into right away.

niall had to leave because he had to work but made louis promise that he would get some rest.

"what the fuck? where is the fucking doctor?" harry whispered, not wanting to wake louis, who fell asleep in his arms.

another hour passed and louis was awake.

"i have to go to the bathroom" louis said

harry nodded and let louis get up. as soon as he stood up a tall doctor walked over to them.

"hello, i'm dr. dallas" the man put his hand out to shake, which harry took "you are here for mr. zayn malik, correct?"

harry nodded "yes he's our friend, how is he?"

"well he had some through and throughs and some of the bullets stayed in so we took him to surgery right away, he is fine. we got him stitched up and no major injuries. he's very lucky" dr. dallas said

harry let out a breath he didn't know he was holding "when can we see him?"

"well, he lost a lot of blood, even though he is okay he is still very weak. he is in a coma, don't worry it is perfectly common for victims like him to go into a coma after what their bodies went through" the doctor smiled a little "i will come let you know when you can see him, you're friend is a fighter" he said and then walked away.

harry turned to louis and hugged him "oh i'm so glad he's okay"

louis smiled and hugged back "me too"

harry called liam to tell him exactly what the doctor told him.

an hour went by and dr. dallas didn't come back to update them. they stayed put though, not wanting to get up and go to the bathroom only to come back and find the other one gone.

the police hadn't come by to ask any questions. harry thought that it was maybe because they didn't know where they were at or if they just didn't care.

dr. dallas came back only to tell them that they should go home and get some rest and when they come back in the morning zayn would hopefully be awake.

they did but neither of them could sleep so they just layed in harrys bed in silence, just wanting to be in the others company.
