Against All Odds

Ch. 21

I put my phone away and started wondering where Louis was. I called out his name, but didn't get an answer.

"Lou!" I called again, walking up the stairs. I still didn't get an answer. I saw his bedroom door was closed, so I knocked on it. No one answered, so I just walked in. That wasn't uncommon in our flat.

I glanced around the room and gasped at what I saw.

Louis was lying on the floor, unmoving.

(Ch.21)

"Louis!" I cried out. I ran over to him and instantly checked for a pulse. It was there, but it was very faint.

I pulled out my phone and dialed 999.

"999 what's your emergency?" The operator answered.

"My best friend is passed out on our floor and I don't know what to do." I sobbed.

I gave them our address and the operator promised that the ambulance would be here soon. I alsotexted Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Eleanor, and called Louis' mum to tell them. Liam, who was closest to our flat, was on his way over to take me. The rest would meet us at the hospital.

The ambulance arrived soon after I finished telling everyone.

Two of the EMTs lifted Louis onto a stretcher and one was talking to me.

"So what exactly happened?" He asked me.

"Um..I w-was down in t-the living room a-and I realized that I h-hadn't heard h-I'm in a while, s-so I came up t-to find him and he w-was like this!" I said in between sobs.

"What is his full name?"

"L-Louis William Tomlinson."

"What is your relationship to him?"

"We're band mates and best friends."

"Is there anybody you need us to call?" I thought for a moment.

"I already c-called everyone, I th-think.. If I think of anyone else, I-I can c-call them."

"Is someone coming to pick you up?" I nodded. He climbed into the back of the ambulance and it drove off.

Liam pulled in the parking lot as the ambulance was pulling out. I ran to his car.He flung open the car door and engulfed me in a hug.

"He's going to be okay. I promise." He whispered into my ear.

He pulled me towards the car and I sat in the passenger seat. It was a silent ride to the hospital. When we got there I was out of the car as soon as Liam put it in park. I heard him calling, but I didn't listen. I just wanted to be with Louis.

I ran into the ER waiting room and went straight up to the desk.

"How may I help you?" The nurse there asked me. She was staring at a computer and sounded like she didn't care.

"I'm looking for Louis Tomlinson." I told her. She looked at me for the first time. Her eyes opened wide in shock when she saw me.

"Y-you're Harry Styles!" Of course. She had to be a fangirl.

"Yes, and my best friend might be dying and I need to see him. Can you tell me where he is?" I said, annoyed.

"Oh! Yes!" She typed a few things on her computer and then ran over to a filing cabinet. She pulled out a thin paper file and opened it.

"Ah, yes. Louis Tomlinson. Room 413. He is probably sleeping, though. Your other friends are in there with him." She told me. Liam was now behind me and we walked together down the long hallway to room 413.

I opened the door quietly, as to not wake Louis. I saw the other Zayn and Niall in there, as well as Eleanor. I rushed to Louis' bedside as soon as I was in the room.

I grabbed his hand and looked at everyone else.

"They haven't said anything yet." Zayn said. "His mum is on her way and should be here within the hour."

"Did you call Chelsea? She seemed pretty close to Lou while we were there." Niall said quietly.

Oh my gosh. I forgot to call her! How did I forget to call Chelsea? How did I-

"If you give me your phone I'll call hero you can stay here with Lou." Zayn offered. I silently pulled my phone from my pocket and handed it to him.

"I'll be right back," he said.

Zayn's POV

I walked out of the room silently, gripping Harry's phone in my hand. I unlocked it once I was in the hallway. I found his contacts list and tapped on Chelsea's. I put it to my ear and prayed she would answer.

"Hey Harry!" I heard the girl's voice answer. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding.

"Hey Chelsea, it's Zayn." I replied.

"Oh, hi Zayn! Is Harry ok?" She asked, concerned.

"Um, Harry's fine." I told he.

"Well, is there something wrong?"

"It's Louis."

"What? What's wrong with him? Is he okay?"

"Um..we don't know. The doctors haven't said anything yet-"

"Doctors? You're at a hospital?"

"Harry found Louis passed out on his bedroom floor. He was rushed tot he hospital and the doctors haven't told any of us anything yet."

"Well, can you text me when you find out anything more?" She sounded like she was almost in tears.

"Of course! Right when we know more, I'll have Harry text you."

"Thanks. I'll talk to you later then?"

"Yep. See you later, love." We both hung up and I walked back into the hospital room. I handed the phone back to Harry and told him to text her details when we found them out. He just nodded and turned back to Louis. We all just sat in silence and prayed Louis would wake up for a while before the door opened again. It was Louis' mum and the doctor.

Louis' mum went straight to his bedside while the doctor looked at all of us.

"I have the results of the tests we took on Louis." He said.
