Color Him Wonderful- Larry AU

VIII.

I don't even know what this chapter is... but i hope it makes sense?
depiction of anxiety/panic attacks and some mentions of bullying

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next couple of weeks were agony for Harry, he was so anxious to know whether or not he would regain his sight or not. He suffered through a few panic attacks that resulted in Harry having to the hospital because he was getting them so frequently, that Louis was getting scared. The hospital held him overnight because his blood pressure was a bit high as well as he kept overthinking, causing him to have trouble breathing to the point where they had to sedate him.

"Mr. Styles, can I have a word with you?" Harry's therapist asked, Louis nodding after he patted the bed and Dolly jumped up and kept her eye on her owner as she laid in between his legs.

Louis followed him out. "What's going on Dr. Payne?"

"Your husband's anxiety disorder has reached a certain high, besides the eye surgery is there anything else that could be causing him to have so many panic attacks?"

"A few months ago Dolly was kidnapped, but that is over now as you can see her watching him as we are speaking. I just think that everything from high school is coming back to haunt him because of all the bullying he endured because of him being blind. And that since he has the opportunity to regain his sight he's becoming nervous that it won't work. He's strived to be able to see since he lost his sight twenty years ago, it's his only chance."

Dr. Payne nodded as he wrote down everything that Louis was telling him. "Has he ever had panic attacks as frequent as this?"

"I mean, when I met him he already was on medication for some things that I never really asked him about, but I do remember one time in high school that he didn't show up to school for a few days. His mom said that he was in the hospital because of a panic attack so you'd have to ask her what could be the cause."

"Do you know of anything that may have happened around then?"

Then it hit him. "Fuck- sorry for the language, but I know why. At that time he asked his mom to see if he could qualify for the surgery and he had many doctors appointments that always told him it was a slim chance. At the time the doctor had told him that he would perform the surgery so it sort of made Harry become nervous that something would happen, and it did, the doctor told him a few days before his surgery that he couldn't perform it for some reasons as to the tests were inconsistent."

"Like what the doctor told him this time around too?"

Louis sighed before he nodded. "He's thinking that everything he's worked for will end."

Dr. Payne nodded. "That's good to note, I will be back when Harry wakes up and I'll use this time as an appointment for him. Is that alright with you?"

Louis nodded quickly. " Yes, of course anything you can do to help Harry."

He smiled. "And please, call me Liam. All my patients and their families do." Louis nodded and watched Liam leave quietly, probably off to see other patients in the hospital. Usually Liam works out of an office in the hospital and is called whenever a patient needs a psychological evaluation.

Louis went back to the room as the nurses needed to change his bandage and grabbed Dolly to take her out to go to the bathroom, as well as visiting the coffee shop. "James, how are ya? I take it you liked the painting?" Louis pointed to one of the many paintings on the wall, but this one was special, it was by his husband. It was a portrait of James and his family of dogs, of course there was no face as you saw his back and all the animals were facing the same direction.
