Use Somebody

Chapter 8:

Louis POV:

I heard my phone ringing and glanced at the time. It was 1:30 A.M.. I looked to see who was calling me. It was Harry! I picked up the phone.

"Harry? Is everything okay?"

"No I need you to come in to the hospital please."

"What's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare about Nick and my stomach hurts and I don't want to call anyone to bring me my medicine unless I know them. Oh God! My stomach really hurts."

"Harry, I'll be right there. It's just the sutures. I'll get your medicine for you and anything else you need."

I raced to get my clothes on so Harry wouldn't have to wait for me very long. It was a 15 minute drive from my apartment to the hospital. I don't want to say that I broke the law to get to Harry faster so he wouldn't be alone but then I would be lying I definitely drove faster than I should have, especially around the hospital. I raced to the closet where the keep all of the medicine in the pharmacy and grabbed Harry's. I ran to the kitchen to get him something to eat and drink.

I found my way to his room in the dark. I knocked on the door.

"Louis!"

I got the excited response when I opened it. He was happy to see me. I handed him the food and water and the medicine along with it.

"I know it early but you have to eat and drink something with the medicine or you will be sick and we don't want that. Now can I look at the sutures to see what specifically is causing you pain."

He nodded with the spoon in his mouth. I lifted up his shirt and he still had a little bruising from where Nick had hit him and killed Jayden. I looked at the sutures and they seemed fine and they even looked like they were ready to be taken out either today or tomorrow. I got an amazing view of his chest, he has a butterfly tattoo on his stomach and palm leaves on his hips but I already knew about those. I looked higher up and saw that he had two birds on his collarbones. He was perfect but now he was going to have a scar as a constant reminder of Jayden.

"Everything looks fine to me. Hopefully I can take them out either today or tomorrow."

Harry's eyes lit up. "Yes!" He pumped his fist. "Ouch."

I laughed at him. He was supposed to use sudden movements because they would hurt. 

"Learn anything yet?"

He looked at me and nodded.

"Whatever this medicine is, it's wonderful."

I wanted to laugh but he was very serious and I knew that he wasn't joking because of the pain he was currently in seemed to disappear but not because of the medicine but because of me.

"The actual medicine?"

He shook his head.

"Then what medicine?"

"Your love. I know you treat everyone like this. But it feels like you are the center of my universe." Harry rambled on.

"I don't treat everyone like this. I'm nice to everyone like this but I don't tell them about Aidan and I don't kiss them and I don't have feelings for anyone else. I think that Aidan wants me to be happy again and that is with you."

"Thank you but you don't have to say things that you don't mean."

I looked at him. How could he think that? I know I've only known him for a little while and we're not dating but I think that I love him. There is doubt about it that Harry was able to pull out my out of my depressed state and shine light back into my life. He knew what to do even though he wasn't doing anything.

"I do mean it. I mean every word that I have told you since you got here. You deserve world, Harry. And I'm willing to give it to you. I just need you to see that too."

He looked at me and I could see that he was processing everything that had just happened.

"Please Harry. Would you like to be mine?"
