Don't Let Me Go (SEQUEL TO CMM)

Chapter 8

Zayn's POV

"No! My daddy! Go away!" Darcy grumbled, pushing Tom away, making him fall over and scream.

"Darcy! Don't do that!" I picked Tom up and took him to the spare room, setting him down for a nap.

"Go find your own daddy! My daddy!" I walked in the room to see Darcy yelling at Max.

"You push my brother!"

"He was stealing my daddy! I hope your daddy dies!"

"DARCY!" I hit her hand and pulled her away from Max. "You NEVER say that to people". She began to cry but I didn't comfort her.

"Ow! You hurt my hand!"

"Darcy say sorry to Max".

"No! He should go now! He's been here a long time".

"Darcy it's been two weeks. That's not that long". I pulled Max into a hug. "Max it's okay".

"Dada die?"

"No. He's okay".

"When papa and dada take Max, Tom and Daniel home?"

"I don't know Max. I'm sorry".

"I want papa and dada".

"I know".

"Your dada is dead!"

"DARCY!"

"Dada gone?" I looked back to see Tom standing in the doorway, his eyes glassy and bottom lip trembling. "Dada not come get Tom?"

"Oh god Tom".

"Dada gone!? I WANT DADA!" Tom screamed and ran.

"Zayn? I'm home. Tom where are you-" I jumped up and ran to the front door to see Tom running away from the house.

"Harry go get him quick". Harry ran after him and I followed. "Tom stop!" I caught him and he thrashed in my arms.

"I want dada! No dada! I want dada!"

"I know Tom. I know. Shhh calm down I'll take you to him".

Louis' POV

There's no words on what I feel right now. I have barely slept, I stink, I've barely eaten but I can't leave Niall. I have to stay by his side. I can't move. I need to be here when he wakes up. I practically forgot about my children. It's been two weeks. I haven't seen them once. Or maybe I have but I just didn't take any notice of their presence. I'm a terrible father. But I can't leave Niall. He will wake up soon. He has to.

"Louis?" I looked behind me to see Tyler standing there in the doorway. I stood from my chair and faced him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I need your help". I scoffed.

"With what!? I've helped you so much more than I needed to Tyler. In times that I should've been with my family! And right now, I can't do anything for you".

"Louis please".

"Tyler, I don't know what more I can do for you. My HUSBAND is lying in that bed in a coma! There's a reason I haven't been at school. There's a reason I haven't looked at my phone for two weeks. I need you to go".

"Louis please. I really need your help please".

"Tyler. I know I promised to help you but right now I can't. I'm busy". He left quietly and I let out a breath I had been holding in.

"Dada?"

"See Tom, he's just sleeping". I looked to see Zayn and Tom walking in and smiled slightly, opening my arms for Tom to run into. I picked him up and hugged him tightly.

"You smell funny papa".

"Darcy believes Tom is trying to steal Harry and I so she began to tell Max and Tom that Niall was dead or that she hopes he dies. She's in a lot of trouble right now. Tom tried to run away".

"Tommy? Dada is okay yeah? He's just having a really big sleep".

"Dada not gone?"

"No he's not going anywhere"

"But Darcy say-"

"Darcy was lying Tommy. She wasn't telling you the truth". He sucked on his thumb and rested his head against me chest.

"We literally almost lost him. I swear I was going to have a heart attack when I saw him run out the door". I looked to Zayn sympathetically.

"It's alright mate. You got him".

"I stay with papa and dada".

"Lou, you need to go take a shower. And you need to eat. And you definitely need to sleep".

"But I can-"

"I'm here. Go shower". I obliged his orders and cleaned myself thoroughly, waking out to see Zayn had good sitting there for me. "Eat Louis". I obliged yet again and ate the food, sitting down next to Niall, taking his hand in mine while Tom lay next to him. A few hours passed and we were filled with the beep of Niall's heart in the room. His heart best began to increase whilst his body began to shake and convulse. Nurses came running into the room and everything moved in a flash as they pushed us out the room. Zayn took me outside, holding Tom as I stumbled out the door.

"Oh my god".

"Lou, breathe".

"How am I supposed to breathe!? Did you not see that!? He could be-" I tumbled over and threw up next to the wall, Zayn rubbing my back while I completely emptied my stomach. Tom cried in fear next to me as I moved across and sat against the wall, holding my head in my hands. I pulled Tom into my chest and rubbed his back soothingly, trying to calm his shaking body. "Zayn". He looked down to me. "What if he-"

"Don't think that way Lou. Don't". We sat like that for another ten minutes before Zayn pulled me inside and a nurse approached us.

"Mr. Tomlinson?" I nodded.

"Is he okay? Please tell me he's okay". She looked at us sympathetically and I began to panic as she opened her mouth.

My mum is so clueless that I'm hurting myself or how she's always choosing her boyfriend over us.
