Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Drug

Louis' POV

I felt myself being laid down on a comfy bed but didn't move.

"There'll be a Doctor to see you shortly." I heard the receptionist say and the sound of high heels become more distant with every step.

"Liam, she's gone." I heard Mr Darlington say.

"My name is Louis"! I corrected and sat up.

"What's the plan"? He asked.

"I don't know, sir." I answered truthfully.

"Call me Jeff and call my wife Tracy" he said.

"Yes I think that's better. Mr and Mrs Darlington is a bit of a mouthful"!

"Do you see him"? I looked around the room.

"There's a blonde guy in the corner." Jeff pointed to Niall.

"That's him, darling"! Tracy almost shouted.

"Shh! Wait...your last name is Darlington, yet you still call him darling"? I laughed.

"Yes. Problem"? Tracy asked, seriously.

"No, no problem." I was surprised they didn't see the funny side but remembered we were in a serious situation.

"That's the guy dating my daughter"? Jeff's eyes darted back and forth between me and Niall.

"Yes but trust me...Jeff...he's a real gentleman and can be quite old fashioned when it comes to how fast he moves with your daughter." I hoped he would be persuaded easily because I'm probably the worst person to be asking this stuff.

"That makes me feel a little better."

"We are going off topic people." Tracy cut in.

"You're right, you're right"! Jeff squeezed his eyes shut then opened them and looked extremely concentrated.

"Crap, someone's coming. Lie down"! Tracy put her hand over my face and pushed me down so I hit the pillow hard. This woman was hilarious!

"Hello, I'm Doctor Thorpe. And you are..."?

"Mr and Mrs-" I heard Jeff start but Tracy quickly cut in "TOMLINSON"!

"Right, and this must be...Louis? I gather you didn't come in together because he is on today's arrival list and you are not."

"Yes that's right" Tracy answered.

"Alright, let's take a look at him then."

I felt a hand on my forehead, then a cold piece of metal landed on my shirt and moved around a little.

"Heart beat and temperature is fine. And you say he fainted"? Doctor Thorpe asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Jeff answered. He sounded on edge.

"Would you excuse me for a few minutes." Doctor Thorpe left.

I snapped open my eyes and ran to Niall. I wasn't wasting anymore time in here because it was obvious Doctor Thorpe was onto me.

"Niall"? I shook him.

He was hooked up to a machine showing his heartbeat. His heartbeat seemed too fast. His skin was deathly pale and his lips had lost all colour.

"What the hell did Banks do to him"?! I shouted in frustration.

"I did my job." I heard that evil voice ring through my ears.

I turned around to see Banks standing only a few feet from the foot of Niall's bed.

"He is violent and dangerous, Louis. What was I supposed to do"?

"He's nothing like that. He just loves a girl called Eva Darlington very much." I stated and both Jeff and Tracy looked to me with soft expressions.

"A bit soppy, don't you think Tomlinson"? He stepped forward.

"No. It's not. It's clear you've never felt that certain emotion before." Tracy spat.

"No I haven't. I'm too busy doing my duty for that. Do you not understand how hard it is to protect so many people every day from what's out there? You don't even understand what it's like to be in the midst of all that"! He protested.

"No, I think you've misunderstood Banks. I've been in the midst of it for the last few weeks now and let me tell you...it was Hell! Niall has been under a lot of pressure and stress, we all have, but what pushed him over the edge was how Eva was treated when we came here." I argued. "Now tell me how I can help him"!

"You can't. He's too weak now." Banks stated.

"Please, there's got to be something we can do"! Tracy pleaded.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

"He's gone into sinus tachycardia, it was the drug"! Doctor Thorpe yelled as he came running back in with a crash trolley.

Eva and the others came rushing in after him.

"Is he going to be OK"? Harry shouted.

"I don't know but please stay back." Doctor Thorpe checked the monitor.

"Right, we need to revive him fast. I need help please"! Some other Doctors and Nurses came in and assisted.

The line on the monitor went flat and there was a continuous beep. Doctor Thorpe checked his pulse.

"No output. Charge to 150" Thorpe requested. I heard the sound of power building up. They put those shocker gadgets on Niall's chest. "OK, clear"? Everyone stood back. "Shock."

His heartbeat remained the same. "OK, charge to 200...clear...shocking."

There was still nothing.

"Charge to 250...clear...shocking."

"PLEASE SAVE HIM"! I heard Eva scream.

Tracy left Niall's bed and went to comfort her daughter. She held her close and stroked her head. Eva cried into her mothers chest - it was the worst I'd ever seen her.

"Shocking." The amount of times I heard that word was ridiculous.

"Come on, Niall"! Liam shouted and Harry joined in. "You can do it, Niall"!

They looked at me but I had almost lost hope. It was clear we had lost him.
