Shattered

Unconcious

Harry's Pov

Crying could be heard from Louis' room. I glanced at Perrie, knowing it was her turn to help El. She was gently trying to ease Zayn's head off her shoulder.
"Perrie" I whispered.
"I'll go, Zayn's exhausted, let him sleep"
"Thanks Haz" she said slumping back I into the chair and pecking the sleepin Zayn on the cheek.
I stepped over the sleeping forms of Liam and Niall, who had somehow come across a mattress and dragged it into the waiting room. Knowing them they had probably stolen it from one of the nearby rooms.
I strode the few paces to Louis' door and entered, closing it behind me.

My eyes fell on the lifeless form of Louis and my chest constricted.
Eleanor seemed to notice my panic,
"Just un-unconscious" she managed to stutter out between sobs.
I exhaled, relief washing over me. I walked over to Eleanor, a little unsure of what to do. She rarely cried. I simply wrapped my long arms around her tiny frame allowing her to sob into my shoulder. She half returned the hug but one arm stayed apart, holding Louis' clammy hand.
"What's wrong?" I asked slowly.
She sniffled.
"El, come on, tell me" I coaxed.
"H-he's just in so much p-pain, Harry. He cried Harry. I've only seen Louis cry twice, both times in this hospital. And he's scared. He told me he's scared he can't be in One Direction anymore, scared of never being able to walk again. He's even scared I'm gonna leave him just because he's sick."
Every word Eleanor said broke my heart a little more. None of us had seen Lou like this before. He was always loud and bubbly. Full of jokes and rude remarks, full of life. We all wanted old Louis back. Unsure of what to say next I spoke the first words that popped into my head.
"Perrie's got Zayn eating again."
Eleanor broke out of our embrace and gave me a small smile.
"That's good"
"What you did really helped" I said smiling at her encouragingly.
"Maybe, maybe we should do something to help Louis" I said slowly.
"If I could do anything don't you think I'd already have done it" Eleanor said grimly.
"Well we can't take away his pain" I said, gaining confidence with my idea as I spoke,
"But we are going to make Lou's next few months in here the best few months anyone has ever had in a hospital" I finished determinedly.
El nodded quickly shooting me a grateful smile as I hurried out the door.

I ran into the waiting room that the hospital had cordoned off for us, tripping over Niall's sleeping form. Perrie jumped in surprise causing Zayn's head to fall off her shoulder and smack face down into her lap. He woke with start. His string of swear words were drowned out by Liam's hearty laughter. I snickered appreciatively before nudging Niall in the ribs causing him to groan as he was awoken.
"Guys", I began
"You are officially all assigned to help me with 'Operation Cheer Up Louis'!"
"Ockle" (O.C.U.L) Niall mumbled.
"Ockle!!" I agreed, stamping my foot. Zayn jumped at the loud noise having been drifting back off to sleep.
"I'm in" said Perrie
"Yea mate" agreed Niall
"When do we start?" asked Liam
...
"You've lost me" said Zayn, a confused look on his sleepy features.
Perrie whooped upside the head with a nearby cushion.
"He'll be in when he wakes up enough to know what's going on" she said cheerfully.

Hopefully a little more of a lighthearted chapter than the previous one :/ :) Please keep voting and commenting...
You'll have probably noticed by now that pretty much all of my chapter titles have a double meaning. Comment what you think there are. If you guess all of them the next update will be super quick.
