Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Hospital Rooms And Drama Queens

Hi everyone, after a long and exhausting day (been up since 5am), I still managed to write this chapter, but please bare in mind that I am quite tired so  it might not be as good as usually. :) All the love, Summer xxx

"Mr Tomlinson?" the nurse asked into the small waiting room where they had sent us to avoid Louis and Harry getting mobbed. Louis nodded and slowly got to his feet, immediately holding onto Milena's shoulder when he accidentally put some weight on his sore foot. "Would you like a wheelchair, sir?" the nurse kindly asked and Louis' head snapped up. "No, no, no, no, I'll be fine. Thanks, though." he refused her offer and instead wrapped his arms around Harry and Milena's shoulders and started to hop into the treatment room where the other two helped him sit on the bed.

"Good evening, Sir. Would you mind telling me exactly what happened? Oh, and I'm sorry that I have to ask, but are you okay with your friends being present during the examination?" she asked him and Louis' eyes lingered on me with the hint of a smirk, before he nodded. "They can stay." he assured her, before he briefly told her how he had fallen into Ed's flowers. "Can you move your foot at all?" the nurse asked him and gently started to move his foot to which Louis responded with a yelp. "So that hurts?" she asked him and he nodded with a pained look on his face.

She carefully pressed some other points in his foot, each of which seemed to hurt Louis a lot, before she looked up again. "I can't say anything for sure until we have done an X-ray, but from what you have told me and the amount of pain that you're in, I would say that you may have broken your ankle." she told Louis who nodded in defeat. "I will schedule an X-ray for you within the next few minutes and someone will come to get you, alright? Do you have any more questions so far?" she asked and when Louis shook his head, she got up. "Alright, I'll leave you here for a bit then." she told us with a smile and started to make her way to the door. 

Before she disappeared, she turned around one more time. "Just before I go, sir, would you like some painkillers?" she asked him with a trace of a grin on her face. Louis seemed to think for a moment, but then the pain prevailed over his pride. "That would be great, thank you." he finally admitted and she nodded and returned with two pills and a cup with water a minute later. When she had quietly closed the door behind her, Milena quickly got up and sat down next to Louis on the bed where he instantly pulled her closer to him. "You okay?" she asked him quietly and he nodded, but grimaced when he accidentally moved his foot. 

From the other side of the room, Harry and I silently watched them from the chair that we had both squeezed on. I was sitting on his lap with my head resting against his chest, feeling his steady breathing with every rise of his chest, which seemed to have an oddly calming effect on me. If we hadn't been sitting in a hospital room which an injured Louis, I probably would have fallen asleep within minutes. "Hey, stay awake, love." Harry quietly mumbled into my ear and his thumb started to gently stroke the back of my hand, while his left hand comfortably rested on my thigh. 

Our quiet conversation seemed to have reminded the other two that we were still present because they both looked over to us when they heard Harry's voice. "I am so sorry that you probably broke your foot because of me." I apologised for what seemed to be the 100th time this evening. "Seriously, Claire, stop apologising, alright? You didn't mean to hurt me, did you?" he asked me seriously. His intense gaze made me shrink on Harry's lap and I shook my head. "No, of course not! But I'm sorry for apolo-" I started off, but quickly slapped my hand over my mouth which made the other laugh.

We were interrupted by a light knock on the door and a different nurse poked her head through the door. "Oh, this looks like a cheerful group." she said with a warm smile and let her eyes wander around the room. "I am here to take Mr Tomlinson to the  get an X-Ray done, but you three can wait in here, if you like." she said with a look in Harry's direction who nodded. "That would be great, thank you." he thanked her and sent her one of his famous dimpled smiles which she returned.
