The One That Got Away

CHAPTER 18

"We are losing him.His heart rate is above 120."

"Give him naloxone,quickly."

"Ready."

"Good.Mr.Pressman.Give him some oxygen.",he shouted."And,for God's sake,someone go outside to check on his mate."

"The short one?"

"Yes.Tell him that he is in a really difficult situation."

The nurse went outside to inform Louis about Harry's health and he found jim,standing all one,away from Eleanor and Carla,crying.

"Mr Tomlinson?",she asked."Can i talk to you for a second please?"

He went closer to her quickly and asked her worryingly how Harry was.She actually asked her to tell him all the truth.

"Well,everything is pretty hard.You have to be patient.His heart rate is still really high so we have to check him regularly.We have given him naloxone,which counteracts the effects of opioids in the body.We are trying our best.Stay here and please try to relax."

"Do you even hear what are you saying?The only one i have left is inside there,fighting for his life,because i fūcked everything up and you ask me to relax?",he shouted and started crying and kicking the sits.

"Louis,no.Stop!",the girls said and went to his place.

"Let me alone.You are actually those to blame.You never wanted me and Harry to be together.And you tried to be nice to us.Harry was right.But i was so fúcking blind not to see the truth.Leave.Leave us alone!"

"Louis,this is hard,i know."

"Yeah,we're not leaving you.",Carla added.

"Oh,you don't get it.I don't want you here.Leave.Now.",he shouted again.

Carla and Eleanor took their stuff and left together the hospital.After that,Louis' phone rang.As soon as he put it out of his pocket,he saw that an unknown number was calling him.

"Who is this?"

"I told you that your life from now on will not be the same.Even though you're trying really hard to prove otherwise.Be careful with your choices.",said and hang it off.

Louis looked at his phone,touched his head and sat down on the floor.He felt so helpless.He couldn't stand losing Harry.Indeed,their lives have changed since they moved in again.It wasn't not even close to what he have imagined it to be.He felt that he had started losing touch slowly with Harry.Suddenly,he heard a familiar voice.He looked up and saw his mother with Anne coming to his place.He quickly then stood up and wiped his tears.

"My baby.How is Harry?",Johanna asked and hugged him.

"Louis,has any doctor tell you anything?How is my Harry?Why did he do that to himself?",asked and started crying.

Louis hugged her and asked her kindly to stop crying.

"Harry is the strongest person i know.",he whispered."He will be fine."

"Lou,by doing this,taking so many pills,he actually wanted to end his life.He was tired,he was exhausted.He couldn't keep doing it anymore."

Louis didn't say anything.He suddenly stopped hugging her and became really cold.He went near the window and looked to the starry night sky.

"Me and Harry had some really difficult moments lately.Mostly him.I was so fûcking stupid not to understand it though.",he laughed and started to cry."I am the most stupid person i know.",he punched the window.

"No,no,Louis.No.",the two women said.

"I'm stupid."

"No you're not."
