Sorry, I Love You <3 - A Louis Tomlinson fanfic

Chapter 7- here she comes

Louis' POV

I sat there crying for hours while Elly was in surgery. I didn't know what they were doing but as long as they were saving her that would be alright. I trusted the doctors, they had saved her once they could do it again. Suddenly the memories of that day came flooding back to me, everything. The day i had walked in on Eloise lying there almost dead was the day that i think i realised how much she actually meant to me. Her father had just beaten her and she was lying helplessly there on the floor. Her father had his belt in his hand and was towering over her small body. We were only 8 but she was still a lot smaller then her father. I had walked through the door just as i heard growling and a loud SNAP! her father had hit her on her naked back with his whip. I gasped and when he turned around he threatened to hurt me too. I turned and ran, as fast as i could back to my house. I had left elly alone but i knew it would turn out better later on. I got to my House and mum rang the ambulance then the police. They arrested Eloise's dad and then took her to the hospital. I still remember my small little body hunched over crying in this exact chair over 9 years ago. Is till remembered it like it was yesterday and every time i thought bout it i cringed. Her father was such a terrible person and kept it secret from her mother nad the rest of the world for so long. Eloise would come to school with bruises but always convinced me it was nothing, i was young and didnt understand. He was in jail now, with a lifetime sentence. Where he should be. I cried so had rememebering these horrible moments.. BUt then i smilec when i rememered Eloise being wheeled out of the room looking a lot better then she did when she went in.

My thoughts were interruppted when i saw Elly's mum walking towards me. Tears were pouring down her face as they were down mine. She put her arm around mine and i turned my body to face her. She ulled me in for a hug and we cried onto each others shoulders. Thats when i remembered something, crying doesnt help. I needed to be strong for her. She needed some glimmer of hope. I needed to believe that Eloise would pull ythrough this. I needed to do this for HEr and Her mum.

I pulled away from the hug and looked Kim in the eye.

"Kim, listen. Eloise will make it through this. She is strong and extremely healthy. God wouldnt do this to us. He is a nice person is is only mean to those who are mean. Eloise is a nice person, therfore he will be nice to her. YOU are a nice person therfore he will be nice to you. Just listen and try to undertsand that the doctors here are amazing and she will get through this." Half of this i didnt even know myself but (ellys mums name) was more fragile then me and she needed my support. I was going to give it to her. I needed t stay strong even if at night i just broke down.

"Yes Lou, i believe you but what happens if-" I cut her off.

"No ifs. Its a yes she will come through this okay?"

"Okay." i wiped her tears and pulled her in for a hug again. This time there were no tears, only a small glimmer of hope. We only broke apart when we heard the doors behind us open. e\We both turned quickly to find eloise not breatig but asleep? I think, I hope? we both sttod up and rushed over to her bed side We followed her into her room. I held one and while Kim held her other one. The doctor approached us.

"So i gather you are here for Eloise? "

"Yes, Im her boyfriend" Kim looked surprised, obvisily not aware of this news. "and this is Her mother Kim." I said gesturing to Kim.

"Great. Well i ahve some bad news and some good news, which would you like to hear first?"

"The bad news please" Kim answered.

"Okay well the bad news is that Eloise had quite alot of bleeding in the brain putting lots of pressure on her brain. We have removed a section of Eloise's skull and some of the blood. Hopefully this will reduce the pressure put on her brain meaning for a speedy recovery. We can't be so sure though. There may still be long term effects. We have put her in an educed coma which will help with her making a speedy recovery. She has a broken leg, which we put back in place, a broken arm, that is now bandaged, and some broken ribs. She broke more ribs then in a usual car crash, do you know the cause for that?" I thought about it then realize that Eloise had been beaten up at school that day. Could I reveal that in front of Kim? No Elly doesn't trust Kim that much. I'll have to tell him later.

I gave the doctor a look that said 'I know but I'll Tell you later' and said "no"

"No I don't either" Kim mumbled.

"Okay well the good news is that the surgery went quite well, the pressure on her brain has been released. This means that there should be no long term injuries. We will keep her in a coma until her bones are healed, it will save her alot of pain."

"Okay" Kim mumbled again. I pulled her in for a tight hug. Thenm i sat her down on ther chair and montined for the doctor to go outside. I followed him.

"so what do you know about these ribs sir?"

"Well Eloise has been beaten up at school recently. She is verbally and physically abused but people dont believe her. She alwasy covers up scars but i always see them first. Today on the way home she was running from school. The bullies had got her again but nobody believed her so she called me. She said her ribs hurt more then ever so maybe this is why?"

"Yes sir. That is very true. I will get an investigation going on that and if we get any news i will inform you and maybe we can tell the police?"

"yes i think that is a great idea." i patted him on the shoulder and walked back into to the room to see Kim sitting by Elly's bed holding her hand, crying. She was talking to her. I walked Back out of the room and closed the door. I let them have a moment. I sat down on the seat, put my face in my hands and cried. I had cried so much today but it all felt worth it. Eloise was my everything. Ever since kindergarten. We met and instantly became friends. We grew up together, doing everything together. she knew all my secrets and i knew all hers. we had been through ups and downs but really i had alwasyed loved her. She was my everything, even when I had girlfriends she was still me everything and i loved her. Sometimes i treated her like shit, but now that i had her I am gonna treat her like a princess. Not like all the other boys shes dated, trust me thats alot, im going to be different.
