Louis comes stumbling out of the changing room to see Harry, Louis in a t-shirt and jeans and Harry is in a pyjama top and joggers (sweats)."Yay, you're here!" Louis chirps, turning to his mum and smiling. "Can I take Harry to the kids lounge to meet the guys?"
"Of course Louis, Harry has been here for long enough and I trust you." She say, bending to kiss the short teens head. "Stay in the wheelchair lane, don't try to bend over it to talk to him and to forget to lock the chair when you stop." She says, walking away as Harry smiles wildly at Louis.
"You're fun, I've missed fun." Harry says, after they have been smiling silently at each other for over a minute.
"Well if you like me you will looovvveeee my friends, Harold dear!" Louis says with a grin, at this point Harry wants to ask how long Louis been there. To have friends in the ward it must have been along time.
"Are you're friends on the footie team too?" Harry asks.
"Not all of them. Liam is and Niall was ounce." Louis says sweetly, patting Harry's head.
They set off down the corridors and in and out of lifts, until they reach a bright room with toys and such.
Louis, who had been randomly chatting the whole way there, wheeled Harry over to a group of three.
A blonde boy, playing a game and eating crisps. A brunette boy watching intensely whilst handing the blonde boy his crisps. A black haired boy groaning at the blonde each time he takes a wrong turn. Three healthy looking young lads.
Louis says hi to the group, the brunette and black haired boy turn to wave back. The blonde doesn't even acknowledge them.
Louis taps the blondes shoulder, causing the blonde to pause the game and wave at him.
For the first time Harry notices the bands, different ones on each of their wrists.
Louis: black + green
Blonde: blue +green
Black hair: black + yellow
Brunette: blue + yellow
"What are the bands why don't I have any?" Harry asks, softly.
"They're our ID's" Louis starts, everyone watching him. "You will be getting yours soon, you get them when you join the kids area."
"Oh, why?" Harry asks, confused.
"So the doctors can work out the problem quicker in an emergency." Louis says causally.
"What will I get?" Harry asks.
"Green and silver."
"What do they mean?"
"Well," Louis starts, turning more to face Harry as everyone watches. "green is for those who have had surgery. You, me and Niall." the blonde waves, not take ing his eyes off Louis. "yellow is yet to have surgery, Liam" the brunette waves. "and Zayn." the black haired boy waves." silver is wheelchair users, you. Finally blue is signlangue and lip reading, Niall and Liam."
"Black?" Harry asks, the three boys opposite sharing a look as Louis' smile drops for a nanosecond.
"Secret." He says shyly. Walking over to hug the three boys.
The Liam waves at Harry, before signing something. He places a hand to his chest, then taps his head twice with two fingers, then dose like a wiggly line in the air with them and finally some finger movements.
The Niall who had been watching him turns to Harry to translate.
"He says 'hi, my name is Liam, as you probably know. How are you?' He can hear so just speak back." Niall says, Liam smiling at Harry.
"I'm fine, thanks." Harry says to the two boys, Louis and Zayn excusing themselves for a minute.
"What you got?" Asks the Niall, his eyes trained on Harry's lips.
"Had back surgery, now my legs are having problems." Harry says, looking at the Niall with confusion. "You?" He asks.
"I,m deaf, but can lip read fine and obviously talk fine as well." The blonde says, it then clicks to why he was starring. "Liam is mute, but he can hear fine. I normally translate for him." Niall says, gaining a nod from Liam.
"Back." Louis shouts, as he and Zayn return. Liam turn to them at hearing Louis and Niall turns as he had felt Liam shift. "we need to ask you guys a question." Louis States.
He gets a bunch of nods in return.
"What colour of beanie is the coolest?" Zayn and Louis ask, looking at the three boys in front of them.
Harry notices Liam and Niall's faces drop lightly before they both smile and answer.
"Blue, and Liam says red."
"Okay. Harry?" Louis asks softly.
"I like black, it goes with everything... or orange!" Harry says cherry, Louis smiles warmly at him and nods.
"I agree." Louis says softly.
"Everyone to bed." Calls a nurse, Louis' mum walking to the boys to retrieve Harry.
After everyone said goodnight Louis' mum, Jay as she keeps telling him, wheels him back to his room.
"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Jay says as she turns to leave, smiling softly at Harry.
"Yeah, night Jay." She smiles the use of her name, closing the door and heading to Louis room to sleep.
When she reached Louis room she sad on her sons bed.
"I heard the news." She whispers, running her hands on his legs. Louis curled up in the bed just let's out a groan. "It's going to be okay, we prepared for this, remember?"
"Yeah." Louis whispers. "It still hurts though." He tucks himself back into Jay as she climbs mots on the bed with him.
"I know sweetie, it's been 2 years and you're doing so well." She whispers.
"So was Stan." He whispers, retrieving a sigh from his mum.
"I know sweetie, I'm so sorry. Stan was so kind and I know it hurt you but you where there for him. That means a lot. Also, you need to tell Harry." She whispers, tucking hair behind his ear with a watery smile.
"Why?" He whispers, a small sob leaving his lips. His hands grasping at his mum.
"Because you've been there with Stan, imagine not knowing then. He needs to know about you and Zayn." She whispers.
"I'll tell him soon. I need sleep, so do you. You've been working to hard." He tucks his head in her neck. "Love you mum, night."
"Goodnight. I love you too my, strong, strong angel." She kissed his head, starting to drift off to sleep.
Whilst down the hall, a happy Harry has no idea the sadness he had stumbled on.
