Chapter 17: Vienna

"He's getting married Clair! Married" Harry ranted as he paced around the confined room.

She nodded in confirmation that she was listening, features tense and movements appearing hard.

Harry's features softened, "Hey, we've been talking so much about me. How've you been?"

She turned her face away, looking out the small window. "They say I have a month."

Harry released a breath, hands dropping from her bedside to his sides. "Well- well what about that medication you were on? I mean it was working wasn't it?"

She laughed harshly, "Guess not."

"We don't know if they're right." He defended, standing.

"Sometimes we just know, when someone's telling the truth." Clair turned back to face Harry, face damp and tear stains slowly starting to fade.

"Ah, so Mr. Tomlinson. How's everything been?" The doctor asked as she pulled up a wheeled chair.

Swinging his legs Louis replied, "Fine."

She nodded, scribbling something down, the placing her clipboard to her left. Leaning forward she pressed, "So really, how've you been?"

"Well it's nice. It was hard at first, but now I've just accepted I'm never going to remember certain things." Louis sighed.

"Well with a head injury like you had you can't expect a full recovery. And you never know, you could remember everything eventually." She reminded, leaning back against her desk.

"The things I don't remember though - it's like I'm trying to solve a puzzle and the most important pieces aren't there."

"Like what?" The doctor asked.

"Well it's mainly a like who." Louis admitted, "Basically everything I've yet to remember is about one person."

She perked at this, "So are you saying you remember everything but one person?"

He shook his head, "No. I remember some things about him. And I still can't remember certain other things. It's just mainly -" Louis was cut off by his phone beeping notifying a new message.

To: Louis

Hey can you come pick me up?

"- Him." He breathed out.

No it's fine, I'm out anyways text me the address.

She motioned towards his phone, "So is 'he' your boyfriend?"

He blushed, "No. I'm actually uh engaged." He showed her a flash of his ring.

"So am I done here?" He hopped off the bed.

She glanced at her notes, "Yes, as long as you haven't been having any major head aches dizziness or symptoms like that. you're free to go."

"Alright, thank you." He replied, practically running to his car.

Harry had decided to change Liam's

contact to maybe Iam, anything that would prevent him ever accidentally texting Louis again. He watched as Louis' car approached the curb he sat on, and hopped up as it parked. Mentally, he prepared himself for what was to come.
