Don't let me go // Louis Tomlinson

Chapter 9

Louis POV

Now it's been half an hour and I'm getting worried. My phone starts to ring and I don't even look at the caller before answering

"Hello, Ari are you okay?" I ask

Instead of hearing Arielle's voice, it's a man

"Hello, is this Louis Tomlinson?"

"Yes, that's me" I answer apprehensively

"Sir, this is William Brown with the police department, it looks like your girlfriend has been in an accident..."

When I heard those words, my knees gave way. I fell to the ground and dropped my phone, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Hello? Mr. Tomlinson"

I pick up my phone again

"Is she okay? Sir please tell me she's okay!" I say frantically

"Her car was hit by a drunk driver, she was ejected from the vehicle. I am not sure of her condition..."

I wouldn't even let him finish talking. I ran to my car and sped to the hospital. I don't even care if the cops come for me, I need to get to Ari. I pull up outside the emergency exit not bothering to turn off the engine and ran inside up to the desk.

"Where is Arielle Evans?! Please I need to know. She was just in a car accident, where is she?!?"

"Sir", the desk lady said "Please calm down, I'll search the system for her. It looks like she's still in the ambulance on route to the hospital, please have a seat."

I take a seat in the waiting room and wait impatiently for any news about Ari. Minutes pass by and I get restless and march right back to the desk.

"Please tell me is there any information?"

Just as I said that, the emergency doors burst open and there's Ari, on a stretcher with several doctors and EMT's around her. I run right up to her, her eyes are barely open.

"Ari..." I begin but my voice cracks
"Please Ari, you can't go. You have to stay, I can't go on without you." I start to cry

"Please, I need you."     

"Louis", she croaks out "I love you."

Then her eyes shut

"No, no no NO.... What's happening, why did she close her eyes?!" I shout to the doctors

"Sir, please calm down. She's suffered massive head trauma, and swelling in her brain. We've put her in a medically induced coma to try and reduce swelling."

"Oh my god. Is she going to be okay?"

"I don't know. It all depends on how bad the swelling is. Once it's calmed down we can try and lift her from the coma, but we don't know how long that will take. Could be days, could be weeks. I'm sorry sir, that's all I can say now. I'll update you if her condition changes, until then, you can go to her room. It's floor 9 in ICU unit 4."

"Th-thanks Doctor" I say with no emotion

It still doesn't feel real. Arielle can't be fighting for her life. This all can't be true.

I go to the elevators and click the 9. The ICU floor. She's in intensive care.

I walk off the elevator only to hear lots of beeps from heart rate monitors and breathing tubes.

I walk up to the lady at the desk to get my authorization pass.

"I'm here for Arielle Evans. I'm her boyfriend."

"Here you go sir" she says as I'm hands the pass "unit 4, down the hall"

"Thanks" I mumble

I walk to the door with the 4 on it and brace myself before entering. When I open the door I see her on the hospital bed. She looks pale, sickly, and beat up. She's got a black eye and cuts on her face, but she still looks beautiful. She's connected to a breathing tube, which makes my heart sink. She can't even breathe on her own. Something so simple, breathing.

I walk over to her bedside and pull up a chair.

"Hey Ari, it's me, it's Lou. I can't believe what happened. You don't deserve any of this." I can't stop the tears from flowing.

"Ari, please.... Please fight. I- I need you."

Then I break

The sobbing starts and I can't control it. I cry until my eyes get heavy and everything goes dark.
