Stuck In The Middle | Louis Tomlinson AU |

46.

Danielle's P.O.V

We've been waiting in the hospital for a day now and they still have nothing. Not even what caused him to pass out or if he'll ever wake up. I still haven't moved, cried, talked, eaten or even slept.

"Danielle, you have to eat something." Natalie says sternly from my side. I don't answer her though, I just sit in silence.

"Natalie she's in shock. She's not going to do anything until the nurse tells her about Louis." Harry says to Natalie. Of course, he is right. I am in shock.

"Then we have to find a nurse and ask them," Natalie says and I hear her light footsteps go down the hall.

"He'll be alright Danielle, I promise," Harry tells me softly. I thank him by lifting my hand and resting it on his knee.

"Harry! Nurse Ellen, tell them what you told me." Natalie says excitedly.

"Louis Tomlinson will be fine, we aren't sure when he'll wake though. He was really close to a drug overdose." She says and I look up at her. She's around 40, blonde hair and glasses. She looks like a stereotypical nurse.

"Thank you," I say, my voice not as hoarse as I thought it would be.

"Does he do drugs?" She asks us.

"He used to, but now it's only weed here and there. Someone might've slipped it in his drink, we had a party last night to celebrate his birthday." Harry tells nurse Ellen.

"Can we go see him?" I ask quietly.

"Not right now. His visiting hours are 4-8. You should get something to eat while you pass the time, maybe some rest." She smiles at me and walks away, her new shoes squeaking with every step.

"Danielle!" Natalie says happily and throws her arms around me.

"How did his prank go?" I ask.

"It went great! Zayn was the one who took Louis part. That's why he isn't here, he has detention." Harry explains.

"What about Liam and Perrie?" I question.

"They went to get food." Natalie shrugs.

"It's Christmas." I yawn.

"I know," Natalie says softly.

"Harry, can you make a Christmas dinner please?" I ask tiredly.

"If you sleep." He bribes.

"Fine." I yawn again and close my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Niall's P.O.V

I sit in Wendy's with Danielle across from me. Though it isn't the Danielle of my dreams. It is Liam's girlfriend Danielle.

"I can't do this," I say and stand up quickly. It's nerve-wracking that I'm doing this. Leaving my friends for this..this slut. I don't usually call girls that, but she is a legit one.

"What do you mean babe?" She says sweetly.

"I have to go back to my friends," I say and walk out of Wendy's, leaving her alone.

"Wait!" She yells but I ignore her. The guilt has been eating at me since I left. I get in my car and drive off to Dani's old house. I need to see if I have anything to be guilty for. I set up cameras in Danielle's house to watch her, to see if Louis was there. To see if she was cheating on me. If she was, I have nothing to feel guilty for.

When I get there I knock on the door. The no answer signals her parents aren't home. I pick the lock and walk in. I go into the living room and turn on the T.V. I hit a few buttons and rewind to around the time Danielle broke it off. I watch for a while and see Louis climb through the window in her room on one of the cameras. Danielle then walks around the house and closes all the blinds.

I look back in the room where Louis is and see him reading a book.

Hey! That the book Danielle said she was re-reading. Danielle goes back to her room and watches Louis read. He then realizes that Danielle is there and puts the book down. She sits down on her bed and Louis sits next to her. He opens his mouth to talk then they both look at her door. This must've been when I was checking on her.

Louis hides in the bathroom closet as Danielle runs down the stairs to answer the door. I see myself check every room then go to the bathroom closet and I stop. Danielle stops me from opening the door. I walk into Danielle's room and pick up the book Louis was reading. I say something to her then leave.

Louis comes out of the bathroom and sits next to Danielle. He starts to talk and she smiles. Louis leans in and he kisses her softly and she kisses him back. He stands up and so does she. He pushes her up against the wall and kisses her more hungrily. He takes off his shirt and her hands roam around his body and he smiles.

She stops then yawns and says something then he laughs. He starts to undress and then climbs into the bed next to Danielle in only his boxers. He plays with her hair then she falls asleep.

I run off the TV and sit with my head in my hands. She was cheating on me. I shouldn't feel guilty for cheating on Amanda then, should I? I get off the couch and drive home. To where I live with my mates and their girls. When I get there nobody is home. I look at the fridge and see a note to Zayn.

Zayn,

We're at the hospital again

Hospital? Why are they at the hospital? Did Danielle get hurt? I rush out the door and drive to the hospital quickly. When I get there I see Liam, Perrie, Harry and Natalie standing and talking. I look at the chairs and see Danielle sleeping. Did something happen to Louis?

"Niall?" Natalie asks in disbelief and anger.

"Hi guys," I say nervously. Liam turns around slowly and lunges at me. He punches me a few times then he pulled off.

"I deserve that," I tell them.

"Hell ya, you do." Harry snaps.

"I'm sorry! It was her, not me. Yes, I kissed her back and shot Louis and ran away, but... I was, I am stupid and I'm sorry." I cry, begging my friends for forgiveness.

"I-.. Okay." Harry sighs.

"I guess it's okay, but you aren't off the hook," Liam warns.

"Fine." Natalie agrees.

"Whatever," Perrie says.

"So what happened to Louis?" I ask concerned.

"We were just talking about that. We think someone drugged him with cocaine. We are thinking it's someone pretty stupid, who drugs someone with cocaine?" Harry explains.

"So someone like Tracey?" Perrie jokes.

"Actually... She's a suspect now." Natalie says. Liam's watch starts to beep and I give him a 'what for' look.

"We can visit Louis now," Liam says.

"I'll wake up Danielle," Natalie says.
