You're Mine

22

I close my eyes and curl up on the couch hoping the pain will subside a little, I'm nearly all the way off when i shift my body and wince at the pain, a small whimper escapes me but only Harry and Edward hear as Edward is next to me on the couch, cuddled up to Harry.

I pretend to be asleep though so they won't bug me.

"Li, do you have any Pain meds we can give him in a syringe?" Edward asks.

"Yeah, it will knock him out for a good eight hours though" Liam says.

"I think its best, he's whimpering and wincing in his sleep" Edward says.

"Yeah okay, sure, I'll go get it" Liam says,

"Kimberly is right isn't she, he's punishing himself with pain" Ben's voice says.

It's silent for a minute before Scott sighs.

"We think so Benny" Scott says sympathetically.

"I hate this" Ben replies.

"We all do bud, we know it's hard seeing Louis in pain and not himself but it's going to take time for him to recover" Andy tells Ben.

"Yeah but now he's self harming, he's doing this on purpose because he thinks he deserves it, he doesn't and i want to fix it but I can't" Ben says getting upset.

"It's okay Bud, we will work this all out and Louis will be fine okay, I promise he's going to be himself again" Jax says reassuringly,

"Are you going to leave him?" Ben then asks and I know it's directed at Edward and Harry.

My stomach is in knots and my breathing stops as I wait to hear the answer, the truthful answer because they think I can't hear it .

"Benny, we are here for the long run, we are never leaving Louis, no matter how much he pushes us away" Edward says and to say I'm relieved is an understatement.

"We all need to try to understand that he's hurting and he's trying to deal with this all himself, it's going to take a little while for him to open up and start forgiving himself and realising it's not his fault. He's going to push us all away, it's going to be frustrating and hurtful but we need to realise this isn't about us, it's about him and finding a way to cope with what's happened. We need to be there for him and not get upset or angry at him. He's been through something horrific and he needs us to understand that" Harry says seriously.

It's silent but I can imagine everyone nodding in agreement.

"We would never leave him or think this is to hard Benny, Louis is everything to us, our world and we wouldn't be anywhere else. He comes first and that's just how it's always going to be" Harry says.

"I'm glad he has you" Ben says back and I can hear his smile.

"So do you want to give this to him then? I don't really want to be yelled at when he wakes up" Liam says teasingly.

Edward chuckles.

"Okay, I think I should wake him up first though and let him know" Edward says.

I feel Edward kneel down in front of me and shake me gently, I wince at the slight movement of my body.

"Louis, baby, it's okay" he says as I open my eyes.

Edward grabs my wrist and takes my pulse.

"Shit, Li, its racing" Edward says concerned.

"Lou, how much pain are you in? Please, you can't lie right now, we will have to take you back in something could be wrong" Liam says.

I whine in pain.
