Ice Cold

Visit.

The boys waited for hours outside Louis' hospital room, completely silent. The doctor finally showed up.

"We finally got all his color back to him, but he's still ice cold, we don't know what else to do. Would you like to see him?"

"Yes" They all answered immediately, standing up. The doctor nodded and motioned for them to follow him into Louis' room. They couldn't help but stare at him, wondering still, of what happened hours earlier.

He was fast asleep, IV attached to his arm, the monitor controlling his breath, and the room went completely silent. The boys almost broke into tears, not knowing what happened. Jay walked in all worried about her son.

"Oh, Louis" she whispered, kneeling next to him. She held his hand, then gasped when she felt the ice cold of his hand. She looked to each of the other boys, for any sort of response, but they had no idea of what was going on that she knew. She bolted out of the door and sat against the wall.

"It's happening..." She whispered, "the curse broke..."

Louis slowly started to stir in his bed, and squinted his eyes.

"Louis!" The boys yelled happily, and engulfed him in a big hug. When they touched his icy skin, they flinched, but hoped Louis didn't take too much notice in it, but he did.

"W-where am I?" He softly asked, breath still visible.

The other boys shared a look, before Zayn stepped forward.

"Louis... You passed out before the concert.. You're in the hospital.."

"S-so no concert?"

"Louis you made the floor the ice ri- OW!" Niall added before Harry slapped him in the arm.

"No, Louis, no concert." Harry said, gently. Louis' gaze dropped to his lapped and he fiddled with his freezing cold hands.

"O-Oh.."

"The curse broke... HOW?! How could it break?! I made it for all eternity, I can NEVER bring him back to his wicked mother at this rate.. NO!" Jay thought to herself, walking up and down the long hallway, panicking more and more.

"I-Is mum here?" Louis asked, quietly, looking around the room for his mum.

"Um, she's just outside, Lou, do you want me to get her?" Harry asked politely. Louis nodded. Harry nodded back and left the room to get Jay.

"Jay?" Harry asked, "Louis wants to see his good old mother!"

Jay stood up, looking angry, "Then take him to her." And she stormed off. Harry looked after her in complete confusion. But then he started to worry. How upset would Louis be, considering his mother left before he got to saw her? He took his bottom lip between his thumb and finger and nervously walked back into Louis' room.

"W-where's mum?" Louis asked, tears in his eyes.

Everyone looked at Harry, whose heart was near breaking at the teary-eyed boy.

"Um... She, uh, she left, Lou." Harry responded, quietly.

The boys gasped.

"W-why?!"

"What did she say?!" Liam asked.

"Well.. I told her that Louis wants to see his mum.. And she said to take him to her... Then she walked away" Harry said hesitantly, because, honestly, how much sense does that really make?

"B-but.. She IS my mom.. Isn't she?" Louis started to panic. His hair turning white again. "DOESNT SHE LOVE ME?!"

The heart monitor beside him gave away his panic.

"Louis, Louis, of course she loves you... She just-She just-"

"SHE JUST WHAT?!" Louis interrupted, and he started to shake.

"TELL ME!" When he put his hand on the handles beside the bed, which caused the handle to start freezing.

"Zayn get the nurses!" Liam added.

Zayn rushed out if the room. The rest of boys didn't know whether or not to comfort Louis, because they weren't quite aware of what he might be able to do right now.

"Louis please calm down! Please!!!" Harry started to panic worse than Louis at this point, starting to tear up.

Louis took one look at Harry and decided that he should, at least, try to calm down. He took deep breaths, but they were all shaky, and the panic only rose back within him when he looked down and saw that his hands were icy blue again.

"W-what... Am I...?" Louis asked as the snowflake symbols starting appearing once more.

"Louis calm down." Niall said.

"Please leave.. Please!"

"We are not leaving you!"

"I SAID LEAVE!!" Louis raised his hand up to cover his face, but ended up freezing the television across the room. The boys leaped just in time as the nurses ran in.

Tears started to swell in Louis' eyes. The nurses were in complete shock of what just happened before their eyes. He could feel the boys staring at him with concerned, yet defeated eyes.

"H-help me.." He whispered, voice cracking into the merge of sobs.

They wanted to help, they really did, but they had no idea how to.

"We might need you guys to leave the room" The nurse said, softly.

They didn't walk, they ran out. Harry turned around and saw the steam from the coldness coming through the room.

"Harry c'mon let's go!" Niall yelled.

Harry sighed sadly, but nodded, running after them. But they felt the coldness rush to them, all of them looked back, and saw the hallway beginning to freeze. The boys ran for the elevator before the ice got to them. But Liam slipped and couldn't get up without help.

"Liam!" Zayn yelled, and rushed to help him up. He grabbed onto his arm and dragged him off of the slippery floor, onto the elevator. Niall pressed the button fast but the elevator began to freeze. The boys had to huddle for warmth.

They got down to the bottom floor, and it was not long before it began to freeze up as well. The boys slipped and slid until they were out of the hospital. When they reached the bus, a lot of doctors nurses and patients big and small were running out, as they saw the hospital becoming completely frozen.

Harry asked the question that was most definitely on everybody's minds.

"W-What about Louis?"

Silence.

Everyone stared at the hospital, confused and scared.

They couldn't finish the tour without Louis, but more importantly, they didn't know if they could go on without their best friend, or the haunting memory of the frozen hospital.

Harry couldn't take it, and ran back into the hospital...
