Broken-a Haylor fanfiction

Chapter 37

Taylor's POV

Harry collapsed to the floor, blood pouring from his hip. Immediately, a female police officer ran over to him. The police officer checked his pulse.

She turned to me, "He's alive."

I nodded as she signaled a police officer to do something.

She got up and walked away. The world slowed down and blurred as I cried. This is all my fault. If I hadn't have left his side, he'd be ok. Now he could die because of me.

After what felt like ages, Louis touched my shoulder gently. "Taylor, you're hurt too. Get in the ambulance."

I nodded slowly as he helped me up and into the ambulance.

Louis said quietly, "I'll see you later, ok?"

I nodded as the ambulance door closed.

Louis' POV

The ambulance drove off as police officers came out with a handcuffed Jake and Devin. Jake was struggling while Devin was cooperating.

A male police officer approached me. "Do you have any idea as to the identities of these people?"

"The struggling one's name was Jake. He tried to kill my girlfriend a couple of months ago. The other is Devin. As far as I'm aware, he kidnapped Taylor Swift in 2013 up until her escape in April of this year. I think he used to beat her up or something."

"Thank you for your help. We'll make sure justice is served for their crimes."

"Thank you. Would it be too much to ask for a ride to the hospital?"

"No, we'll be heading there now. Come on."

"Thank you. I really appreciate that."

Waiting at the hospital to hear about one of them was torture. I felt like I was going to hear that they both died. Which made no sense since Taylor was not that badly hurt. Harry, on the other hand... I couldn't help but feel like I'd never see him again.

Eventually, a doctor came over to us. "Would you like to hear an update on Ms. Swift's status?"

I almost felt my hopes crushed. After all, Harry was who I was more worried about. "Yes, please."

"Ms. Swift is recovering well. It was mostly minor cuts and bruises. We are going to keep her here overnight for observation, and, if nothing goes wrong, she'll be good to go."

 I nodded, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Can I see her for a few minutes?"

"Of course, Mr. Tomlinson."

He guided me into her room, where she was simply lying there. I slowly approached her.

Taylor looked up at me. "Hey, Louis. Hear anything about Harry?"

I sighed softly. "Not yet. How are you?"

"I'm ok. They gave me pain meds."

I nodded and stroked the top of head lightly. She tensed a little, so I pulled away.

I apologized, "S-sorry. I-I should've asked."

"It's alright, Louis. Don't worry about it."

"Is it because of... uh, Devin?"

She nodded. "It's gonna take time to trust that you won't hurt me. I'm sorry."

"No. It's fine; I understand. Is it alright if I give you a hug?"

"Sure. Can you keep it short?"

I nodded and pulled her into a brief, gentle hug. "Thank you, Taylor. I guess, I should go out. See if there's any update on Harry."

"If there is, can you come back and let me know?"

"Yeah, of course." I walked out and back to the two police officers. "Any update on Harry?"

One police officer answered, "Not yet, sorry."

I nodded, worry filling me. Is he dead?
