I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night~~~~~
He frowned and tried to sit up when doctors ran into the room and pushed him down
Checking his reflexes, checking his temperature, all of them asking him a thousand questions a time and making his head hurt
"Can.... Can I get a chance to breathe before I get smothered again?" He mumbled and blushed when the doctors laughed quietly and pulled away
The questions were asked, and he answered.
Most of the doctors left and the orthopedist stayed behind
She was quiet in her explanation and any resemblance of a smile fell from Liam's face
He pushed the blanket off and looked at his leg and took a deep breath
"I do want to say Mr. Payne.... There are other options, prosthetics will help you with everything."
Liam just silently nodded and the doctor cleared her throat "We also have signed you up for counselling.... This is a big change for someone, and it's not necessarily easy."
Liam stayed quiet and Louis looked at the doctor and nodded "Thank you"
She nodded and walked out
Louis sat on Liam's bed and smiled "You'll be alright"
Liam looked at Louis and looked down at his hands
"You don't know that...."
Louis raised his eyebrows "I spent months beside you..... You fought the hardest you've ever fought. You'll be fine Liam"
Liam gulped "Uhh.... Where's Zayn?"
Louis rubbed the back of his neck "Outside.... With everyone"
Liam frowned and turned to Louis "For how long was I out?"
"Almost 2 months" Louis mumbled and Liam cringed
Isaac ran back inside and smiled "LIAM!"
~~~~~
Harry stayed beside Zayn.... Who looked like he was going to pass out at any given moment
But Louis stepped out a bit later and nodded for Zayn to walk in, and he did
Louis closed the door and left the 2 alone and he sat down beside Harry and dropped his head back
"I got accepted into the uni" He mumbled and Harry's eyes widened as he smiled
"Oh my god Lou!"
Louis chuckled and shrugged, Harry's smile fell "What.... Why aren't you all happy about it?"
Louis stayed quiet then mumbled "I'm going to turn down the scholarship"
Harry shook his head frantically "No! You can't do that!!"
Louis turned to Harry "You don't even know if I did well.... You weren't there"
Harry stayed quiet and held Louis' hand "Throughout the rehearsals. You were amazing-perfect!!"
Louis smiled and looked down at his hands
Harry's hand held onto Louis and Louis looked at him
"I hope one day you can trust me again.... Because I'm here to stay Louis"
Louis sighed "I'll-It'll take a bit of time" He mumbled
Harry smiled "Of course.... But I'll be here when you're ready"
~~~~~
Louis put his hands in his pockets and looked around the burnt apartment
Harry, Derek, Stiles, Dunbar and Theo are all with him
He stepped inside and sighed "I actually liked this place"
Stiles smiled and walked inside with Louis, he threw an arm over Louis' shoulder "You'll be in a better place now"
Louis turned to Stiles "I'm not dying Stiles"
Isaac pushed Stiles' hand off and lead Louis to his room "Of course you aren't"
The others blinked and Dunbar looked at them "He's just going with Louis so he'll have to do less work right?"
Theo sighed and nodded "Yes Liam. That's exactly why he's going with Louis"
~~~~~
Harry walked into the room and sat down
A few minutes later, the door opened and police officers brought in a man in handcuffs
Harry didn't recognise him, but when his eyes met Harry's a big smile came
"You came..... MY SON CAME!!"
Harry blinked and his father was going to run towards him, before he could touch him, he was pulled back by officers and pushed down on a seat and his handcuffs were chained to the table
"You aren't my father" Harry said turning the rings in his finger
"Yes I am. I have proof!!"
Harry rolled his eyes and rested his hands on his lap "My father is the man who's been raising me since I could remember. You aren't my father, uncle Jim is my father" Harry said then cleared his throat
"You used your one call on me.... Make it worth it"
"You're friends with the Malik's. Right?"
"Yes"
"Can you help me out here.... So you and I can be a family?"
Harry blinked before he stood up "You killed my mother" Harry shook his head "And you think you have the right to be out in the world without any consequences" He said then snorted
"You really are a-"
"A lot runs in the family you know.... Maybe you're like me"
Harry blinked and smiled "I'd like to assume you and I don't share any DNA" He turned around and started to walk away "And let's keep it that way"
~~~~~
Louis' eyebrows shot up when Harry walked in
"You alright?"
Harry looked at Louis and shrugged "Went to visit the sperm donor. He kinda fucked with my head, you?"
Louis shrugged and turned back towards the box in front of him "Went to visit Liam this morning, then I came back and continued to pack up"
Harry nodded and walked towards Louis, helping him with the tape
"You'll be my roommate huh?"
Louis looked at Harry as he took the tape from him
"I was denied the right to be allowed to live alone. So. Yes"
"Ouch...."
Louis chuckled and waved Harry off, he picked up the box and Liam's car keys
"I need to put this in the car.... Can you finish up the last box for me?"
Harry nodded and Louis walked out, Harry sat on the floor and started to fill the box up with the last few bits left in the kitchen
Louis came back inside and saw Harry looking out the window with his head dropped back
His sleeves were pushed back and his hair was in a messy high bun
Louis looked at him, no matter how much Harry hurt him....
Louis can't change how much he loves him
