Falling

***

Louis was exhausted physically and mentally, but that didn't stop his thoughts and his memories. Louis clutched freedom close to his chest as he stared at the card harry gave him. On the front was a cookie with a bite in it Louis chuckled as he read the writing for the 5th time that night.

"Get well soon daddy, you're one tough cookie"

Louis knows there's no writing inside, of course, there isn't Harry's still in his little headspace, it's the thought that matters to Louis. But that writing on the card for some reason affected him.

He kept thinking how can he be tough? He's stuck in the hospital. He can hardly move his legs without feeling like his legs ripping apart, not that he's told the doctors that of course. He doesn't want to seem weak. After everything that's happened to him He doesn't need doctors, not when he's come this far.

They can keep him here all he wants, but he is going to get out of here, whatever it takes. 'This isn't prison' louis told himself for the fifth time since he's been here, and yet he still feels trapped. Hes still in that mindset of being stuck.

He's been trapped since a teenager since he signed that contract since he spent those nights on the tour bus since he was in jail since he was kidnapped and now. He's trapped in a hospital. All those times he's been able to escape.

When he was a teenager he rebelled, and did stupid things to make himself feel like he wasn't stuck. When he signed the contract he broke some rules and followed some, Like 'dating' Eleanor, but he still snuck out to the tour bus with harry and slept together. he was in jail, he had drugs obviously, but then also the escape plan, in the house he still escaped that and yet he's stuck in this stupid hospital.

But not for long. He's not some caged animal and neither is harry. They can't keep them here forever. All Louis's thoughts were cut off when the door opened.

Louis watches as the nurse walked Into the room, moving straight to open the curtains. "Can you not" Louis mumbles cuddling the bear closer under the covers so the nurse doesn't see him. "It's time for your breakfast" she states before moving to wake harry up

"Harry, darling. open your eyes" harry wine's from the back of his throat stretching his muscles before rubbing his eyes cutely "there you are" she chuckles "it's time for breakfast" Louis would be lieing if he said he wasn't jealous of the nurses babying harry, but at least it's her and not the doctor. If he comes even a step too close to harry, Louis can't control his anger, he doesn't trust that doctor one bit.

"Morning daddy," Harry says now sitting up in bed. Louis smiles at his boy "Morning baby" harry giggles from across the room as the nurse comes back with Harry's tray of food. Louis still hasn't moved a muscle. He doesn't want to sit up. Louis cuddles freedom some more closing his eyes

"Louis you can't sleep now, come on up you get" Louis couldn't stop the wine that escaped his lips. The nurse frowns, she's never heard Louis wine. "Are you okay Louis?" The nurse asked, Louis, nodded "yeah I'm fine" she keeps an eye on louis closely as she moves closer. "Well then let's sit up yeah?" Louis nods signing.

Louis bites his lip as he moves his body, his eyes shut tight as his body shakes from the Weight. The nurse watches Louis closely as he finally sits up breathing heavily. "I'll back just need to get your tray," she says as she moves out of the room. Louis takes a deep breath. Freedom still in his arms as harry stares at his food

he's noticed Harry's lack of food as he sits in his bed opposite. "eat baby boy" harry looks up with a small wine "I can't daddy" Louis sighed "just a few more bites baby, for me" harry nods his head before taking a few more spoonfuls of his cereal.

The nurse returns this time with the doctor making Louis glare at the man "what the fuck is he doing here?" Louis says to the nurse "Louis he's here to check you two over as normal" Louis scoffs "he's not touching me or my boy"

The nurse ignored the two squabbling as she moved to place the tray down in front of louis. "Daddy I can't" Louis's argument stopped with the doctor hearing Harry's shakey voice "Hey it's okay baby, I'm so proud of you" the doctor wasn't having it.

"Harry if you don't eat well have to stick a tube down your throat so I suggest you do" the thought scared harry making tears bubble up in his eyes before he started crying, hard. "LOOK WHAT YOU FUCKING DID!" Louis says getting angry and trying to get out of bed "louis stay in your bed!" The nurse says making Louis shout out curse word after curse word saying no.

Hanging onto anything he could as he walked on weak legs to try and get to harry. This didn't go very well. With every step, Louis took his legs felt more and more agonising his body felt like it was on fire. His shoulder joints felt like they were gonna fall off. And before louis knew it he collapsed to the floor.

Harry crying grew worse seeing Louis collapse. The doctor immediately went to help Louis up as harry cried in hysterics. The nurse moved to harry to comfort him as they took Louis out of the room on a stretcher completely blacked out.
