Chapter 13~Hospital

Louis' P.O.V.

"What happened?" I ask as soon as I see Josh in the hospital waiting room with the girls of Fifth Harmony.

"We were at the house and Melanie was in the kitchen making something. I came in and she started crying because she forgot that Trevor broke up with her. I comforted her and we moved to the living room. She calmed down and asked me something and I was about to answer when there was a crash from somewhere inside the house. We didn't know who it was or what it was. Melanie got a text and it said 'Miss me, Melanie?' from an unknown number. We ran to Niall's room and hid in his closet. She got another text and it said 'You wanna play hide-and-seek? My favorite game, sugar plum.' Her phone fell to the ground and she seemed to have froze or something. I tried calling her name and stuff but she didn't reply. That's when I called you, Niall. That double beep was a text that saying 'Nobody can help you now, sugar plum. Leave the closet within 10 seconds or I'm coming in.' and not even two seconds later the closet doors were being thrown open and someone in all black with a ski mask on, grabbed Melanie's legs, dragging her out of the closet. That's why I yelled her name and she screamed mine as well as trying to grab onto something. I chased after them which were the crashes, screams, and cries that were coming from Melanie and the swears were coming from the person and myself. MElanie was putting up a good fight as was I. Soon the girls came but that's when the gun went off. I think he was trying to go for her heart or something, the bullet tore some of her shirt. The guy dropped Melanie and bolted for the back door. Lauren, Camila and Ally stayed with her while Dinah, Normani and I all chased after him. We lost him somewhere in the woods so we went back to the house. The police and ambulance had arrived and were already loading Melanie onto a stretcher. The police questioned all of us before we came here." Josh explains.

"Do you guys think it's her uncle?" Niall questions after a few minutes of silence.

"No probably not. There's no way he'd follow us out here." Zayn shots down the question.

"Well, who els-"

"Tomlinson-Styles?" a doctor calls out.

"Yes," all of us stand up and his eyes widen.

"Um, who's the family?"

"We are." Liam, Niall, Zayn, Harry and I state.

"Parents?"

"We are, well adoptive parents." Harry and I step forward.

"Okay, so Miss. Tomlinson-Styles lost a lot of blood, but thankfully the ambulance got there in time. Any more time, she would've been gone. Since she lost a lot of blood, we had to give her some more blood. She's unconscious still but she's stable. The bullet tore a bit of her skin on her wrist and right forearm. We got those cleaned and stitched up. She's going to have to take pain medication for a few weeks because her forearm and wrist are going to be sensitive and sore."

"Can we see her?"

"Yes, she's in room 1618."

"Thank you."

Harry and I look back at everyone. Niall, Liam and Zayn all walk over to us, the girls and Josh are sitting down. Camila waves her hand at us, silently telling us to go. Harry grabs my hand, giving it a small squeeze before all of us head for the lifts. I just close my eyes and lean into Harry and his arm wraps around my waist. I just let him guide me.

"You alright, Lou?" Niall asks, resulting in my eyes opening to look at him.

"Yeah, I guess." I reply softly, thinking about how this happened a few years ago.

"You sure?"

"Mhmm."

The lift dings and we step out, looking at the signs saying 'rooms 1600-1629 -->' and '<--- rooms 1630-1659' Harry leads us to the right and soon stops in front of a door 1618. He opens the door and gasps.
