Locker 17

Chapter 81

*Louis' POV*

It's been about an hour since the doctor took tests to get me cleared. My mum and I have been waiting in this small room filled with needles and devices I didn't know existed for the past hour.

"I'm coming in." The doctor knocks at the door.

"Well will I be able to go or not?" The frown on his face isn't very convincing about the idea of me going to Paris. I can feel my heart beat begin to accelerate and my palms start to get sweaty.

He takes a seat on the chair right next to the small bed where I'm sat at.

"I have bad news." I can feel the knot in my throat grow bigger and my heart drop at the words. This can't be. How the fuck am I supposed to tell Harry?

"Are you sure because-" I begin to talk but he stops me.

"I have bad news for your mum because by the looks of it, she's going to miss you for the while you're gone." And it's like I can breathe again. I clasp my hand to my chest right above my heart in relief. Does this fucker think it's a game? Doctors like this shouldn't have a job in the first place.

"I can go?" I'm out of breath but able to get the words out.

"All your stats are normal, pressure is normal, everything is normal. The only thing I suggest is that you still don't do any out of school activities as in sports and so on. Understood?"

"Yes. Thank you so much!" There's nothing else I can tell the man other than that. I hop off the bed and shake his hand, hurrying our of the room to tell my mum the good news.

"Guess where I'm going?" Her smile widens when she sees the smile on my face, obviously giving away that everything's great.

"I'm going to take a wild guess sand say Paris?" I grab her from her waist, lifting her up and spinning her around in a playful manner. There's really no words to describe how happy I am and full of life I am too.

I turn around to find Liam walking out as soon as I'm about to leave.

"Hey what's up with you? Why so happy?" I begin to ask him when I approach him. I wave at my mum to wait in the car while I go back and talk to Liam.

"They told me that I'm getting better? It's confusing but they said that I'm making wonderful progress. I might even have a chance to be saved from the negative outcomes that might have come."

"Really?" I don't wait for him to answer. I pull him into my arms and squeeze as hard as I can. Today is going perfect, just perfect. Nothing could make this a bad day at all.

"Whoa steady there. You're gonna be the one that ends up killing me of you don't stop." He says joking around. I let go of him, taking a few steps back to let him breathe. I couldn't help it.

"I'm sorry. It's all just so much! I'm going to Paris for sure now, no worrying needed. No having to explain to Harry the reasons why I couldn't go."

"You need to tell him Louis. Ok not letting that go you know?" I sigh and nod my head.

"I will, I promise."

"I'll take your word. But if you don't by the end of spring break I will, okay?"

"Deal." I'm not planning to any time soon, fuck no. If this is what it takes to get Liam off my case then so be it.

With that I waved goodbye to Liam, leaving the premises.

*Harry's POV*

I lay on my bed with the room pitch black. There's no worries about anything, except the whole Domino and Louis shit from earlier. It really did seem like Domino got a kick out of Louis but it's just a taste of what he can't have. Little does he know he's mine, although I do wish he knew, everyone knew. I need to get over the fact that no other guy in this school is gay or attracted to Louis in that way, but if they were I wouldn't blame them.
