Narry:Unexpected Love

Chapter 18: Hospital

Harry's POV

"Sir, you gotta stay back. Stay back!" a nurse pushed Louis away from the doors Eleanor had been carried off through.

I held on to Louis' shoulders holding him back.

"Louis, you can't go," I told him.

"I need to!" he struggled some more.

"But you can't! And I won't let you!" I said pulling him back to the waiting chairs. Louis turned around and cried on my shoulder.

"Shh," I said rubbing his back.

I held back tears trying to push my guilt away, but all I heard was "It's your fault. It's your fault!" bouncing around in my skull.

"I'll die if something happens to her!" Louis sobbed.

"She'll be alright," I sat him on a chair and sat next to him.

"Louis, Harry?" I heard Liam ask.

I looked up to see Liam and Zayn walking towards us.

"Are you alright?" I asked Liam as he sat down on Louis' other side.

"Yeah, the bullet just scraped me. They cleaned it up and bandaged it so it wouldn't get infected. The doctor said it'd only leave a nasty scar," Liam finished patting Louis' shoulder who had now stopped crying but still had his face in his hands.

"It'll make you look tough," Zayn smiled down at Liam ruffling his hair. Liam slightly blushed.

"So what'd they say about El?" Liam asked changing the subject.

"Nothing yet," I said.

"Louis, let's go to the bathroom to get you cleaned up," Zayn said. "You're dirty and they won't let you go inside if you are not clean because you'll have too many germs," he finished. Louis nodded and stood up. Zayn put his arm around him and walked him away.

I turned to catch Liam staring at Zayn in adoration.

"So you two, eh?" I smirked making Liam blush.

"Yeah," was all he said.

"Since when? And why didn't you tell us sooner?" I asked slightly annoyed.

"About the time Dani broke up with me? We were going to tell you guys but then- all this mess. We just didn't have the time," Liam concluded. I nodded.

Liam's face turned serious.

"So what WERE you thinking when you left the house, Harry?" I looked down at my fingers.

"All that ran through my mind was that I'd have Niall back. I'm sorry I didn't think it through. I just wanted him back and- in the end we didn't. All that happened was everybody getting hurt and- I'm just so sorry," I explained not looking up at him.

"It's okay, Harry," Liam soothed me.

"But it's not! They still have Niall!" I exclaimed.

"Shh," Liam shushed me pulling me into a hug.

"Thank you, Liam," I said hugging him.

"What for?" he asked confused.

"For everything," was all that I responded.

"It's okay, Harry. It's okay," he ran a hand through my hair.

'Not it's not,' I thought. 'Not yet.'

~~An Hour Later (still at the hospital. Still Harry's POV)~~

I lifted my head and let it fall back towards the wall again.
