"Did I..." Harry said and took a deep breath before continuing, "did I have a seizure?". "Yes, you had a seizure, do you remember anything before it?" the medic said.

Harry shook his head, "no, I only remember arriving here and then everything is just black".
The medic nodded, "that's not unusual, especially if it was a long seizure. It's probably best if you take it easy for a while Harry. You don't have to go to the hospital but I would advice your friends to take you home so you can rest".
"Can you sit up?" Louis queried gingerly. "Yeah" Harry responded as he managed to do so. "great, do you want to wait a little bit before we leave?" Louis asked and Harry nodded.
After a moment of silence, Liam broke it by asking Harry if he wanted some water. He nodded. Liam grabbed his waterbottle from his bag and gave it to Harry. Harry took a few sips and handed it back to Liam.
"Are you feeling better now?" Zayn asked. "Yeah a little, I'm still tired though" Harry responded.
After a few minutes, Harry said that he felt well enough to go home. The boys helped him up and supported him as they walked to Louis's car, since his legs were still weak.
"Sorry I ruined your night lads" Harry said. "No you didn't, don't worry about it, we're just glad you're okay" Liam said.
"Good night lads!" Zayn said as he got in Liam's car with Niall. "Call us if you guys need company at any point" Liam said before getting into his car himself. Louis nodded, "Yes, good night!".
Louis drove home and helped Harry get inside. Harry went upstairs to their room and got into bed, falling asleep right away. Louis took Harry's clothes off and then his own before getting into bed next to Harry.

Harry woke up around 12pm, it was long ago he had slept so long. He looked to his side and noticed Louis wasn't there. There was though a note saying 'Hey sleepyhead, I went to the grocery store, call me if you need anything - L <3'. Harry smiled. He got up and got dressed, he still had a little weird feeling but overall felt much better than yesterday.
This time he actually remembered to take his medication. He made his way downstairs and just in time Louis came back in with bags full of groceries in his hands. "Hey babe" Harry said as he went over to give him a kiss, "let me help you with those".
"Hello! How are you feeling?" Louis asked as he wrapped his arms around Harry's waist. "Much better, thanks for taking care of me" Harry said. "Of course, I love you" Louis replied before kissing him again.
Harry took one of the bags and started putting the groceries to the fridge. Louis took the other one and put it on the kitchen island and started making breakfast.
"did you sleep well, you had arough evening yesterday" Louis asked as he chopped some cucumber. "Yeah, suprisingly" harry replied.
"Do you know what caused the seizure? Have you been taking your meds correctly?" Louis asked. "I took them today..." Harry said, attempting to divert Louis's attention from the fact that he didn't take them yesterday. Louis turned around and said, "Harry?", "I forgottttt...yesterday" Harry admitted.
"What are you referring to when you say 'yesterday'?" Louis queried, both curious and concerned.
"I was scared of the side effects so I ignored them the day before yesterday" Harry explained. "Harry, I know this is all new and scary for you. And it's a lot to take in, especially with the medication. But if you don't take it, there's a real risk that you could die. Do you want to take that chance?"
"I'm sorry...I took them afterwards, on the evening!" Harry said, "okay that's good but aren't they supposed to be taken the same time everyday?" Louis said. "Yeah...But you don't understand. You're not in my shoes! You're not living in constant fear of having a seizure and scaring everyone around you. You don't have to ask yourself if you're 'able' to do it when someone suggests some fun activity" Harry snapped out.
Louis was at a loss for words. He had never thought about the situation from Harry's perspective and now he felt really bad.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you" Harry said as he walked out of the kitchen and put on his shoes and coat. "I'm going to get some air". "Do you want me to-" Louis was cut off when Harry slammed the door shut, partly by accident.
Harry walked around the block, trying to get his thoughts in order. He knew Louis only wanted what was best for him but it was so hard to take the medication when it made him feel so lousy. He reasoned that perhaps his body will get used to the conditions after some time. Maybe he was being a little too paranoid about everything, or overly dramatic.
***
One hour had passed and Harry still hadn't come home. Louis was starting to feel anxious. He tried calling him, but realized that Harry must've left his phone at home.
Louis donned his jacket and shoes, then stepped outside to look for Harry. He walked around and saw nothing. It was getting cold, since it was winter time. "HARRYYYY?" Louis tried yelling his name in hopes of a response but was met with silence.
At this point, he was feeling very anxious. He decided to walk back home and take his car out for a drive instead. Even though he knew it would probably result in media coverage, he drove to all of Harry's favourite places and asked people if they'd seen him.
'Where could my baby have gone?' Louis thought to himself. Then it hit him - the place where Harry had proposed to him! He sped there and practically leapt out of the car. "Harry? Harryyy?" Louis tried again. Suddenly, he saw Harry sitting on the frozen grass, leaning against a tree. His knees were drawn up to his chest and his head was down.
Louis rushed to him, dropping to his knees next to Harry. "Harry, are you okay?" he asked, placing a hand on Harry's back. "I was so worried, I looked for you everywhere".
"Sorry, I just felt embarassed by the way I yelled at you, I know it's hard for you too. I just feel like you should find someone better, who is healthy" Harry confessed.
Louis shook his head and smiled. "I could never find someone better than you, Harry. You're perfect just the way you are, no matter what you have or don't have, I love you so so much" Louis said. "W- would you still had said yes if I got diagnosed with epilepsy before I proposed?" Harry asked, letting a few sobs between. "Yes of course, what kind of question is that? I would marry you even if you were a green smurf who can't move and only eats slime" Louis joked.
Harry chuckled and said, "don't exaggerate now". "C'mon, let's go back home" Louis said as he got to his feet and held out a hand to Harry.
Harry took Louis' hand and got to his feet. They started walking back home, hand in hand. Harry contemplated everything and realized how lucky he was to have Louis and his friends. He knew that they would always be there for him, no matter what happened.
They walked back home hand in hand. "Do you want some hot chocolate or tea to warm up when we get home? Your hands are like ice!" Louis said as he rubbed Harry's hands. "Yeah, that sounds great." Harry replied.
They walked into the house and Louis started to make some hot chocolate for them. "I'm so glad you're mine Lou." Harry said as he took a sip of his hot chocolate. "I'm glad too, Hazza." Louis said with a smile.
"I would just like to tell you something" Harry said mysteriously. "What? You can tell me anything"
