You Saved Me!

~*Chapter 31: Louis*~

I was almost into Dublin when my cell phone rang. It was Briana. Shit, I hope nothing happened.

"Hey, I'm almost to your place. Are you doing okay?"

"Yeah, they've slowed way down, and the doctor said it was just Braxton Hicks again. "

"I thought you said they were painful and coming faster?" I asked, clearly frustrated.

"They were, but now, they've settled down. "

Shit. This was another time when I rushed away from Harry except this time, I had a really strange feeling that I fooked-up more than normal.

"Well shit, Briana , I drove all this way. Damn it. Have you eaten today?"

"No, I haven't had anything since breakfast. I've been too nervous, I guess. "

"Want to go grab something then? That way, you can eat, and we can make sure you weren't feeling the real thing. Then, I have to head back to London . I kind of walked out on Harry and a party. "

"Oh no! I'm so, so, sorry Louis. I know you said to call only if it was important, and I really thought it was important. "

I could almost hear the smile in her voice. Somehow, I figured that I totally just got played here. I thought it was time to have a heart to heart with Briana, regardless of the risk of an early birth or not.

After I picked up Briana, we headed to the restaurant. Along the way, I tried to call Harry five times. Each time, it went straight to voicemail. Shit! Why did my cell phone work out there today but Harry's isn't?

"Thank you so much for rushing in Louis . I'm pretty sure everything is going to be okay. You really don't have to baby-sit me, you know. Like the doctor said, it's just Braxton Hicks contractions. I think if I just take it easy, I'll be able to make it to term with no problem. " Briana said with a smile

There was something about her smile that seemed wrong. I was starting to get a strange feeling that maybe this was all just a game with her. As we made our way to the table, I glanced down at her stomach. She really did seem pretty big to have a month and a half left. Then again, what the hell do I know.

Suddenly, the sickest feeling came over me. I reached for my phone and tried to call Ari again. Nothing. I tried Niall's cell Liam's, and Greg's. Something's wrong. I could feel it.

Just as the waitress was about to take our drink order, Briana grabbed the table. "Oh no. "

"What? What is it, Briana? What's wrong?"I jumped up and walked around the table to her.

She looked up at me with a panicked look on her face. "Um, nothing, Louis . It's nothing. I guess the baby just kicked really hard. That's all. "

"Are you sure? Do we need to go the hospital?"

She tried to laugh, but I could see the pain on her face. She was trying to hide it. She shook her head and reached for her phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"I'm gonna call Michael . I really just want to go and lay down. He can stay with me at my apartment to make sure I'm alright. "

While she started to talk to Michael , my head started spinning. What the fook is going on here?

"Briana, don't be crazy. I'll take you home and stay with you until Michael gets there. Don't you think though that you should call the doctor again?"

"No! Louis , listen to me. I just need to go lie down. " Briana looked away from me, returning to the her phone conversation. "Yeah Michael , I know.... I know! It'll all work out. Just trust me on this, please. Just come to Hugo's. Yep, the one off of Merrion Row
