Look After You {Sequel To Lost In Stereo}

Chapter Thirty-Understand

"Why have regrets? Everything's that going to happen you is going to happen." -Gwen Stefani

Why her?

Louis pondered on the thought as he sat in the dull hospital room, his eyes glued to Tellie like he expected her to suddenly open her eyes and say some cocky remark about hospital wires. But Tellie wasn't waking up, she hadn't even made the smallest movement in two days. Louis tried his hardest to believe she'd wake up soon, but the more he looked at his daughter the less he thought it was going to happen. She looked dead. Worse than dead even.

Louis had hardly left the hospital room in the long two days Tellie had been in a coma. He couldn't find the power to leave her alone here. He just couldn't. He would think of leaving and feel disgusted with himself. He could imagine the moment he wasn't at the hospital by her bed she'd wake and have no one around, and he couldn't have that. He wanted to be there when she woke, 'cause he knew that if he wasn't, Tellie would be more scared then ever. And what was even worse was that when Louis tore himself from the room he could feel himself falling into his dream where Tellie was dead. He couldn't have her dead. Never. If she was dead, then there was nothing much left for Louis. Even the fame of being in a number one band, and the love he had for Eleanor, could make up for the pain of losing Tellie. Tellies was the one mistake he loved. Tellie was the child he never meant to have, but couldn't imagine his life without her. Tellie was his little girl, and nothing could change that.

"Lou..." Eleanor murmured as she stood in the doorway on the third night of Tellie's coma. She didn't know how Louis did it, sit here hour by hour. Eleanor loved Tellie, but she couldn't see her self just sitting in the hospital room most of the time. And that sickened her. She shouldn't feel like that at all.

"I'm going home." Eleanor said bluntly. Louis didn't even look to Eleanor as he nodded, he kept watching his daughter intently, listening as the heart monitor showed her heart was beating. Seeing the lines of Tellie's heart beating was enough hope for Louis. 'Cause as long as her heart was beating, she was alive.

Eleanor didn't say anything more, she knew why Louis wasn't leaving, but for the passed two nights she'd gone to sleep alone, waking at one in the morning when Louis would come home and attempt to sleep before changing into a different shirt and then he'd end up leaving. Eleanor left the room, and in twenty minutes she was out of the hospital as well.

"How'd this happen baby girl..." Louis muttered as he put his hand on Tellie's hair, looking at her, guilt and sorrow filling his crystal like blue eyes. The only thing he kept thinking was he should've made her stay home. If only he'd made her stay at home she wouldn't be nearly dead hooked up to hospital wires. Three days seemed like a lifetime to Louis right now. He hadn't realized how much it effected him not having Tellie's usual pestering. He had to much bad thoughts about having her out of his sight, and now they were worse. He wasn't sure what he'd do if she woke up. Would he take away the little amount of freedom he gave her? Or would it be normal? He couldn't think of it at all.

Louis was cut from his thoughts as if his phone vibrated in his pocket. He sighed before pulling it out and almost scowling.

Louis rolled his eyes, curling his lip in anger before texting back.

'You douche...' was all that was running through Louis' head as he stared at the message.
