Troublemaker(Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 47

Louis' POV:

I was absolutely ecstatic. I couldn't even explain how happy I was that Ariel was alive. She made it through one of the toughest surgeries and she's going to be okay. How could I not be happy with a result like that?

Even if she did end up paralyzed and not able to move, I would never leave her. I would stay by her side until the day she died, or until the day I die. Ariel is my everything and I've been given a second chance to prove myself to her and to show her how much I really love her.

"She's alive!! She made it!" I cheer, turning to Ariel's star struck mother and hugging her tightly, picking her up and swinging her around before setting her down, my smile so wide that it hurt. Ariel's mother was tearing up, a smile now on her face.

"My baby girl is alive. She's alive." she cries out and instead of hugging me, she goes up to Dr. Chase and gives him a hug. He looks surprised, but he returns the hug to the happy mother. "Thank you, thank you so much for saving her." she cries and he pats her on the back.

"It's my pleasure. I'm glad that we were able to." he says and Mrs. Valentine steps back, a huge smile on her face with happy tears rolling down her cheeks. I don't think that she's been this happy ever since Ariel has been admitted into the hospital.

"She may have lived, but I can't be sure if she will be perfectly alright or anything like that." Dr. Chase warns us and both of us nod our heads, not really caring at this point.

"If she's alive, that's all that matters." I say and Dr. Chase smiles at us. "I'm glad you understand. Some people would be angry with us and blame us for not doing more." he says and Mrs. Valentine shakes her head.

"The fact that you saved my baby girl's life is good enough for me. Everything else, we can work with and deal with." she says straightforward and the doctor nods his head.

"I have to go now, I need to make sure Ariel's still doing good." he says and we nod, watching him in silence as he leaves us alone, going down the long hallway until he reached the door that he had taken Ariel into hours ago.

"Louis." her mom says and I turn towards her, a curious look on my face. "Yeah?" I ask and she finally looks to me, a bright smile on her tear stained face.

"Thank you for everything you've done for her. You're probably one of the main reasons she's pulled through this." she tells me and I chuckle, shaking my head.

"I didn't do much. I'm the reason she was in here to begin with." I mutter and Ariel's mom slaps me. "Don't you ever think like that, young man!" she says, pointing a stern finger in my face and my eyes widen, nodding my head to her.

"Brendon was a crazy person, he would've done it even if you two were still together." she tells me and I sigh, looking down at the ground. I guess that's true, in a way. I've never met a more persistent, arrogant and chaotic person.

"Good thing he's behind bars now." I mutter and Mrs. Valentine nods beside me, letting out a sigh. "That's true." she says content and we both fall into silence, not knowing what to say anymore.

Honestly, we didn't have much to say at the moment. All we knew was that Ariel was alive, she made it through the surgery. We didn't know her exact condition or how she was fairing with her new spine, all the information we got was that she survived.

Even with so little information, it was enough for us. As long as we knew that she was alive, we had another chance with her. Ariel would come back to us and we would be able to explain everything to her. Her mother would tell her the truth about her father, and that would lift some of Ariel's hatred she's placed upon herself.

Everything should be smooth sailing after this. There's no more Brendon, no more torturing Ariel, just us together. She'd come home to a big welcome party and have a good time with her friends. Ariel and I would be together. I could finally hold her in my arms again and kiss her as much as I wanted to.

A smile forms on my lips just thinking about what will happen in the future, but I shake my head, knowing that I can't get ahead of myself.

"Maybe we should-" Mrs. Valentine starts but stops whenever we see the door to the surgery room down the hall open. Where Ariel was.

Dr. Chase comes out with a serious expression on his face, talking to another doctor beside him. We stay silent as both of the doctor's come up to us.

"You two need to go home for now." Dr. Chase says abruptly and I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion. "Why do we just need to leave?" I ask but he shakes off my question.

"Come back tomorrow at ten. We have a lot of work to do." he says and I see the denial in Mrs. Valentine's eyes, but she doesn't say a word.

"Why can't we just stay here with her?" I ask and the other doctor beside Dr. Chase gives us a stern look. "We have a lot more operating and work to do, and we need you two to leave for now. It's nothing major, just a minor setback. Don't worry about it and go home." he says and I close my eyes together, trying to keep my calm.

A minor setback? What could that even mean? I know he's talking about Ariel, but what exactly does a minor setback mean for this?

"I'm not leaving." I say stubbornly and Dr. Chase sighs, putting a hand to his forehead. "Louis, please understand that we are doing this for your own good. We can't have Ariel see you two right now, she's not stable." he says and Mrs. Valentine stiffens.

"What do you mean she's not 'stable'?" she asks and both doctors exchange a look with one another.

"It's nothing of your concern. She'll be perfectly fine by tomorrow and then we will be able to tell you then. But for now, you must go." the other doctor says forcibly and I huff, glaring at both doctors.

When I realize that arguing with them is pointless, I let out a sigh and turn around, grabbing Ariel's mom's shoulder and pulling her along with me.

"We'll be back at exactly ten. And you better have an explanation ready." I say angrily, not even giving them a chance to respond as I walked away from them. What the hell is this?

Ariel's POV:

Pain...there's so much pain...why do I feel all this pain? Please, please make it stop!! PLEASE!
