Time Will Tell (A Louis Tomlinson FanFic) ON HOLD

Chapter Six: The Truth

Chapter Six:

The Truth

Doctor Andy left the room to only me and Louis after talking to him.

Lou come over to my bed and gently moved my hair out of my face. I watched his chest, moving up and down.

"I love you."

He said, almost in a whisper. Tracing circles on my hand.

It caught me as a surprise really,

those words. He had said them many times before, but this time, it seemed different. More real.

"I love you too."

After those words were spoken,

he sat took a seat on the couch. We sat quite for a time.

Thinking.

Thinking about everything that had happened.

The strain of events that happened in the past 24 hours was hard to grasp. And I didn't want to think about them, but I had to sometime.

"She's not really gone."

I didn't believe it.

I wouldn't believe it.

"I don't believe it Lou."

My heart rate picked up with anger.

Wondering who would make such a cruel lie. But that didn't explain why I was hooked up to all of these machines. Or why I had fallen outside the studio.

"Why? Why do they want to do this to me. It doesn't make sense. I just saw her two weeks ago, and my sister.

She was there. We went out to eat, and I told her all about you.

And. And." The tears, once again forming in the crease of my eye.

She couldn't be dead. Could she?

Sobbing and shaking, I continued.

"She doesn't drive at night.

She never did and she never will.

She says it's too dangerous. It's not true. It's not."

"Laurie." Louis said before I could continue.

He was still on the couch.

His head in hands.

"Laurie," he repeated, looking up at me.

"Your mom isn't here."

Why is he lying to me too. I had seen her a little while ago. And none of it made complete sense to me.

She is my mom,

And I can't let her go.

"Lou, why don't you believe me?

Why are you listening to these, these, liars?"

Reaching for the phone at the side of the hospital bed,

I dialed her number.

My moms.

"She's gonna answer Louis.

Watch her.

She's going to talk to me and she's going to tell me about how she hopes she can see me soon, like she always does.

Then she's going to ask me to tell you Hi.

And to remind me to stay safe.

Then,

Then, when she says bye, she'll also tell me she loves me."

Uncontrollably shaking, and crying,

The phone dialed at my ear.

Every ring making me nervous.

"Mrs. Thorson isn't available."

Spoke an unfamiliar voice.

"Yes she is! I know she is.

Put her on the phone!

She's my mom.

I have a right to talk to her!"

By this time, I was yelling into the phone. Mad.

"Laurie,"

Louis pleaded "Stop! Stop! She's not here. Laurie please."

He was trying to calm me.

Taking the phone from my hands.

I let him have it.

I didn't have the energy to fight for it

I knew, that my mom wouldn't be calling to tell me those words anytime soon.

I don't know why I yelled at that person. What was happening to me?

With his arms around me, I breathed.

In and out.

In and out.

Catching my breath.

Quietly,

I told Louis I loved him.

Then fell asleep, exhausted in his arms.
