Mine

Chapter 26

I sit with my back against the wall of the hallway they took Harry down three hours ago. I've not moved at all since, everytime I see a white coat I hope its for me. It hasn't been, its driving me fucking mad.

"Tommo please try and think positive." Liam kneels next to me putting his hand on my shoulder.

"I knew you would of been Mr. Positive if I texted you about this, coming right over being positive. I can't-" I cry.

He pulls me into a hug.

"Be strong for Harry. I know you want me to shut up with the positive but I'm not going to." he sighs leaning against the wall putting his legs up.

I can't stop crying, all I can see is him laying on the ground nearly lifeless. I've never imagined I'd chase after him after a disagreement only to find him like that. I shake my head covering my face with my hands.

"Hey Louis." Liam nudges me pointing his head towards a doctor coming my way looking at me.

I stand quickly catching myself off balance but I catch myself.

"You here for Mr. Styles?"

I wipe my eyes.

"Yes I- I am. I'm his boyfriend."

Liam stands closely next to me just in case.

"The bullet grazed his heart but went through the edge of his left lung, lucky for him there wasn't too much damage he seemed to of hit his head when he fell down there was slight evidence of a concussion but it didn't seem serious enough to cause memory loss,"

I sigh in relief.

"But his heart stopped once during surgery,we got it started again. He's a fighter. His heartbeat was strong when we closed him up. He's going to be in coma for about two weeks maybe more. You're welcome to see him." the doctor gives me a pat on the back before leaving.

His scrubs still had blood on them, his blood.

"I'm not ready to see him like that." I look down.

"Why?" Liam stuffs his hands in his pockets.

"Cause everytime I think about it that picture of him on the ground nearly dead comes to mind. I can't see him hooked up to needles and monitors."

"Those needles and monitors are there to help him and help the doctors make sure he's doing good," he puts his hands on my shoulders "Louis he needs you most of all."

I sigh taking a deep breath fighting back tears I know will come back as soon as I see him.

"Come on." Liam says putting a hand on my shoulder as we start to walk.

Deep breaths in and out. I freeze when Liam stops this must be his room.

"Want me to come in or stay outside the door?"

I bite my lip exhaling deeply.

"I'll go in by myself."

I turn the knob entering the room. He looks the same, the side of his chest is covered in a small bandage where the gun shot was. Something tells me to take his hand, I walk over sitting the chair next to the bed. The tears come as I look at him. Why can't this be me laying here so lifeless?

"I should have listened to you Harry I should have just made the person meet me at my house, then this wouldn't have happened to you." I grab his hand as the tears fall.

I rest my forehead on his hand. The beep of the monitor reminds me that he is still alive.

"I'm here Harry I'm not leaving. Liam is outside, I'm going to get your phone and call your mum for you." I say kissing his hand.

I take his phone from my pocket where I put it before running in the hospital. Should I text or call her? She's never met me before, she's never seen me before. She will probably think bad of me for causing this to happen.

"I'll be right back I'm going outside to check with Liam."

Outside Liam is sat on the floor just beside the door. I sit next to him.

"I need to call her." I rest my head against the wall.

"Call who?"

"His mum it be wrong if I didn't."

"Then do it."

"I'm nervous about it. I've never met or seen her before. That's no way I want her to find out about me." I say.

"Oh shut up, what's the worse she will say or do? She will be more worried about Harry then anything."

He's right.

"Yeah your right okay I'll call her." I say lighting the screen on his phone.

His lockscreen is a picture of me and him I'm on top of him we are laughing about something. My forehead is rested against his chest and I'm smiling. Tears fall down my cheeks, the picture is just what I want with him right now, us cuddling and laughing like our usual selves would do.

I finally unlock it and go through his contacts until I see mum in the list. I click it and it starts ringing.

I get up walking a little ways away from the door.

"Harry love!" she says happily.

"This isn't Harry, it's Louis I'm his boyfriend." I start crying harder.

"Is everything okay?" she sounds worried.

"No it isn't, he..he's been shot."

"Oh god my baby." I can tell she's crying.

"It may help him to hear your voice to push him to wake up and get better."

"I'm on my way."

"I'll text you the address."

With that I hang up and text the address, floor, and room number as fast as my fingers can move. I walk back to Liam.

"She coming?" he says getting off his own phone to talk.

"Yeah." I say looking down.

"That was my girl Cheryl."

"Oh."

"I was with her when I left to come here, she's been wanting to know how he is. I told her he's in coma but is stable."

"I'm going back in you can come." I say stepping back inside.

Liam follows me in getting a chair on the other side of the bed and sits. I sit in the same chair I was in before and take Harry's hand.

"I'm really not letting go this time. I promise." I give his hand a gentle squeeze interlocking our fingers.

"You really love him don't you?"

"Yeah I do so much."

"I can see it, he's changed you you've never been so happy as you are now. All before him you were not tolerable to anyone except me really."

"I can't live without him that's how much I love him."

He smiles.

"I honestly didn't have a clue what this life I was living was or about what that love word meant but I get it now." I give him a smile then look at Harry.

"Its amazing what one person can do to anyone." he says.

A hour or so later cops that come before. I told them everything that happened from the game, to threats here and there, to this I told them that a team member Luke sent it and right after he did I heard the gun shot. Then they left and said they will arrest him.
"They got him." I smile down at my phone.

"Thank fucking hell I was getting bloody mad that they weren't making effort to arrest him."

"It should be all of them those bastards." I say annoyed.

Harry's phone goes off its a text from his mum saying she's here. I quickly text her I'm in with Harry my mate is here.

10 minutes later there's a knock time to meet her. I hold Harry's hand tighter as she steps in.

"I
