He wakes up an hour later and sees Niall in front of him*
Niall: officer Harry you scared us
*Harry looks at him with numbness*
Niall smiles: he's waiting for you.
Harry frowns: what?
Niall: he's waiting for you. You scared him the most.
*Harry gets up and runs in the room and sees Louis talking with Gemma and Harry froze looking at him*
Louis: muffin?
Harry: M-my love?
Louis: come here.
*Harry hugs him so tight crying in his arms*
Louis: I'm good baby, I'm good.
Harry: y-... h-how?
Louis: do you think I'll leave you?
Harry: y-you won't?
Louis: no… I'm sorry I scared you.
*Harry wipes off his tears and looks around*
Harry: Where's Jake?
Louis: he'll come.
Harry: I'm gonna throw that shit in prison.
Gemma: hey.
Harry sobbing: what hey? He knew. And you knew. And I-
Louis: hey. Look at me.
Harry sobbing: did you know?
Louis: no… but I'm fine.
Harry: I'm not. I'm not fine. I feel like I'm suffocating and I'm terrified and… I'll kill that shit.
*Harry wipes his tears off and backs off*
Harry: I'm fine. I'll go talk with Jake and I'll go to work.
Louis: baby…
Harry: I won't go to work. I'll go kill him
*Louis takes his hand*
Louis: stay with me. I know you got scared, but I'm fine.
Harry: you were fine before too and your heart stopped…
Louis: look how we'll do. I promise you, I'm good. I feel good, baby, I know you got scared and you are frustrated and angry but I need you to stay with me, okay? Come next to me.
Harry shakes his head: no… no I'll be better. I'm not clingy.
Louis frowns: come here right now little man, what is happening?
Harry: no, I'm an officer, I'm strong. I'm heartless. I'm fearless.
Louis: baby… what are you talking about?
Harry: what? I will be better, I'll be a better boyfriend. I'll do what an officer would do. I'll go to work. I'll be better I promise. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.
Louis: give me a hug, c'mon.
*Harry hugs him and pulls back*
Louis: it wasn't your fault…
*Harry looks at him and smiles softly but Louis frowns*
Louis: no… don't tell me you're thinking about what I'm thinking because if you're thinking about what I'm thinking I will go home and kill Zayn.
Harry shakes his head: no. But I won't risk losing you too because I'm not good enough.
Gemma starts crying: My boy
Louis: not good enough? Not good babe? What are you talking about, muffin?
Harry: don't stress about me darling. You have to rest. I'll go talk to Jake.
*Harry kisses his head and leaves the room. Louis looks at Gemma*
Louis: what is he talking about?
Gemma: when our mum died our dad kept saying she died because he wasn't good enough… because he couldn't protect her. When your heart stopped he said something like, I'll be better please don't leave.
Louis: no…
Gemma: some wounds don't heal.
*Louis sighs and puts his head on the pillow. Harry goes to Jake and Jake looks at him surprised*
Jake: well hello.
Harry: I need the truth. Why is Louis alive? What happened?
Jake: the moment you fainted his heart started and the infection started to go away… it's a miracle but the medication we gave him started to work and his body fought back. He's outside of any danger now.
Harry: are you sure?
Jake: 100%.
Harry: okay… don't… you're not lying to me are you?
Jake: no I promise.
Harry: okay.
*Harry goes back inside and Louis looks right in his eyes*
Louis: come here.
Harry: I'm here.
*Gemma leaves and Louis taps the bad*
Louis: I will be so mad at you if you don't sit next to me right now.
*Harry sits next to him and Louis hugs him to his chest*
Louis: you are good enough. You are the best boyfriend I could ever ask for. Yeah? I don't need you to change. And you know that. I know you got scared but I'm not going anywhere. I promise.
*Harry closes his eyes starting to cry and Louis caresses his head gently until they are just cuddling quietly.*
Harry: how did you feel?
Louis: I felt nothing… literally. How did you feel?
Harry: when you were sleeping, Jake came and he told me to leave the room to talk… I knew something was happening and then Gemma showed up and we heard… umm that sound. When I entered I saw the line on the screen. I felt like all my world shattered in front of me.
Louis: awww baby. It's okay. I'm sorry.
Harry: I'm sorry I haven't noticed…
Louis: notice what muffin, there was nothing to notice.
Harry: you even said someday that you don't know if your heart is beating anymore. I should've known.
Louis: muffin… let's not think of that. I didn't die. No one died.
Harry: that man will.
Louis: take some sleep.
Harry: mhm in your dreams.
Louis: baby
Harry: no. You should sleep. C'mon.
Louis: I'm not sleeping without you.
Harry: I'm here.
*Harry kisses his head and Louis holds his hand tight*
Louis: I love you
Harry: I love you.
