The 'average' sleepover.

Chapter 9.

Zayn's P.O.V

We have all grown tired of those familiar white-washed walls and the rush of those in scrubs but we all know that Louis needs us right now, no matter how this ends up. 

Liam is beside himself, I'm so worried about him. I don't think he understands exactly how much he means to me. Liam is everything to me, he makes me smile when no one else can. The smooth sound of his voice gives me butterflies deep in the pit of my stomach. Liam is the only one who genuinely cares for me and in the bottom of my heart I know he feels the same way about me as I do about him. I feel like I have found the missing piece of the puzzle, the piece that I have been searching for, for an extremely long time. Every time I see him my heart beats faster and faster, like a time bomb preparing to explode. I can't go on feeling this way, I need to tell him soon.

As I my thoughts landed me back to reality my view came back into focus. I saw a solumn looking Harry sat on the visitors chair beside Lou crying. Harry and Louis have an undeniable connection, a beautiful friendship.

Louis was just lying there, in the same position he's been in for the past week and a half. His face looked gaunt and his body fragile, like he hadn't eaten for months. Louis was wired-up to numerous different pieces of machinery and various drips. It breaks everyone's heart to see Lou this way, we're not used to seeing the most excitable of us so frail and still.

Liam joined me at the window.

"Do you think Lou will be okay Zayn?" 

"I hope so Liam, I really do. In the meantime we have each other and we must stick it out, together."

"You're right. Where is Niall and the girls?"

"They've gone for some lunch, they will be back soon I expect."

"Oh right..."

"Liam?"

"Yes Zayn..."

"I erm, love you."

"I love you too Zayn mate" Liam replied in the same tone and pulled me into a man hug. I know he totally mistook what I just said. He thinks I mean it in a friendly way. No, I do not mean it in a friendly way, I love him. Love as in I want to be able to call him my boyfriend and have a future, together.

Harry's P.O.V

"I've said this time and time again Boo Bear but I'm going to say it again because no matter what anyone else says I know you are listening and that you will be just fine. Lou, you are my best friend and I will be forever gracious for all the times that you have been my shoulder to cry on and all of the times you have told me 'everything will be okay'. You were right, everything was okay, and you know what Lou? Everything will be okay. It won't be long until you can return to Sophie's house with us and you and Soph can settle down because I know that deep down you love her Louis, I know you do. Please wake up soon because nothing is the same without you. I feel like every day is an effort to wake up, to get out of bed and even to talk to anyone. I feel like half of my body is missing because you are my other half Lou, you are my best friend. When you wake up I don't think you realise the hug you are going to get from me. Not to mention the Directioners, I have frequently looked down our twitter feed and they are torn up. You see mate, everyone needs you back to normal again. I want my Boo Bear back and Directioners need their inspiration back...." I choked out that last part.

I don't know how I can carry on with life anymore, I just want all the pain to stop, to go away. I want my best friend and my happiness back.
