Mood - One Direction // End of the Day

[Sacred Heart Hospital. 4:15pm.]

Louis : "hi I'm here to see Harry Styles can you tell me what room he is in?"

Nurse : "okay can I have your name sir?"

Louis : (frowns) "Louis Tomlinson"

Nurse : "sorry it's a mandatory requirement from his family. He's in room 312. Down the hall to the left, last room on your right"

Louis : "thank you so much" (walks off) (sees Eleanor and Oliver sitting outside room)

Eleanor : (stands and walks up to Louis to hug him) "Lou"

Oliver : "glad you're here Louis he's been asking for you"

Louis : (slow and confused) "why?"

Oliver : "why don't you go find out? Niall is in there with him"

Louis : (nods and releases Eleanor before placing a kiss on her forehead) "alright" (passes hand over jeans and knocks on the door)

Niall : (opens door and sees Louis) "you're here!" (hugs Louis) "come in"

Louis : "I still don't get why he- (stops when he sees Harry lying in bed)

Niall : "I'll give you guys a moment. I'll be right outside" (Louis nods) "thanks for coming Lou" (smiles and walks out)

Louis : (walks over slowly to the bed watching Harry breathe heavily, eyes closed) "What happened Harry?" (sits on chair next to the bed. Takes Harry's hand in his) "who did this to you?" (sniffs) " I knew this would happen" (teary, chokes) "I'm sorry" (bends head and closes his eyes)

Harry : (shifts) "L-Lou?"

Louis : (startled) "yeah Harry I'm here" (rubs hand over Harry's) "I'm right here"

Harry : (groans) "it hurts"

Louis : "I'm so sorry"

Harry : "Louis"

Louis : "I did this to you. I'm such a fucking idiot. I did this"

Harry : (throaty) "My lou"

Louis : "Can you hear me Harry?" (stands to look at Harry's face) "Hazza?"

Harry : (struggles to open eyes and groans) "I thought you wouldn't come" (sobs) (repeats softer) "wouldn't come"

Louis : (leans closer to Harry's face) "I would never forget you" (puts hand on Harry's chest) "I'll always come" (pause) (leans forward and pecks Harry's lips)

Harry making groaning noises then falls silent.

Louis : (sighs) "what have you done to me Harry? I can't stay away from you anymore" (stands and quietly exits room)

Oliver : "are you okay?"

Louis : "I'm fine. He's asleep"

Niall : "yeah the doctor said he's still hooked on the anesthetic"

Oliver : "did he talk?"

Louis : "not really. I'm not sure he even knew I was there"

Niall : "I'm so fucking angry. Who would do this to him?"

Eleanor : "I'm sure once Harry is fine all of this would be cleared up. Now let's just calm ourselves and focus on Harry getting better"

Oliver : "El's right. Harry's health is our main focus now"

Louis : "did anyone tell Gemma?"

Niall : "I would've but I don't have any contact for her"

Louis : "it's okay. I guess I should call" (takes phone out typing away)

Oliver : "you sure you're okay?"

Louis : (walks away from the group) "I'm fine Oli" (puts phone by his ear)

Oliver : "and nothing happened in there? With Harry?"

Louis : (sighs) "no" (listen to Gemma answer) "I have to tell her" (to Oli)

Gemma : "Louis! What a surprise! I'm so glad you called I was just thinking about you. I'm trying to get on to Harry but he won't answer my calls. Any idea what's up with him?"

Louis closes his eyes and breathes out heavily but stays silent.

Gemma : "Louis? Is something wrong? What happened? (panicky) "Where's Harry?"

Louis : (crying) "I'm so sorry Gemma"

Gemma : "Lou where's Harry?"

Louis : "I never wanted to.. (angry) "I told him to stay away from me now look what happened!"

Gemma : (stern) "Louis I will not ask you again now where the fuck is Harry?"

Louis : "he's (hesitates) "he's in (pause) the hospital"

Gemma : (gasp) "wh-oh my god! What happened? What hospital? Is he okay? Where is he now?"

Louis : "Gems calm down. He's fine. He's sleeping I'm right here with him. He got into a fight last night. I don't know much of the details we're waiting to hear the full story from him"

Gemma : "getting into fights is not something Harry would do"

Louis : "I know that"

Gemma : "you know who did this don't you?"

Louis : (clenches jaw) "I have my theories"

Gemma : "so what now?"

Louis : "I'll take care of it"

Gemma : "and Harry? Is he going to be okay?"

Louis : "I'll take care of him Gems. Don't you worry. I won't leave him"

Gemma : (soft) "I know you will Lou"

Louis : "I'll call you as soon as he wakes up okay? Please don't worry I promise I'll take care of him"

Gemma : "Harry was right about you. Please take care of my little brother Lou he's all I have"

Louis : "I will"

Gemma : "don't forget to call"

Louis : "I won't. Try to get some sleep I have to go check on him again"

Gemma : Okay Lou bye"

Louis : "bye Gemma" (hangs up phone)

Niall : "We're about to head out soon"

Louis : "alright"

Niall : "you coming?"

Louis : "I think I'll stay here for a bit. In case he wakes up"

Niall : (smiles) "Okay Lou. I'll see you soon then. Call me if he does"

Louis : "yeah"

Niall : "and Louis?" (Louis looks up to watch Niall) (smiles) "I'm proud of you"

Louis : (small smile) "mmhm"
