Safe and Sound (A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 4.

I heard the sound of beeping all around me. And my body ached in pain. What happened?

My eyes fluttered open. I was in a room, actually I was in a hospital.

"Oh, you're awake." A boy with a British accent said. My eyes moved to wear the boy was.

"Uhh yeah." He walked over slowly and took a spot next to me. Soon enough, four other boys did the same.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked the blue eyed boy. He nodded slowly.

''Well, actually two questions. Number one, why the hell am in a hospital? Number two, why is One Direction sitting in my hospital room?" He chuckled at my last question.

"You don't remember what happened?" He questioned.

I shook my head, "All I know was that it was my birthday and  I was in the car with Der-" I stopped. "What happened to Derek?" Louis hung his head low.

"I was the car that crashed into you. I was arguing with my mom and lost control of the car." He looked down and caught a glimpse of the wedding ring on my finger. "I hit the side of your, uh, husband. He died instantly. I escaped with a few injuries." He pointed out some of the bruises on him.

But, reality snapped me back and my eyes bugged out of my head.  "Derek is dead?" I asked.

"I'm so sorry. I already got fined for this. And I truly am sorry. I feel terrible. I killed someone and injured a beautiful girl. And shit." I saw tears stream down his face.

"Lad, calm down. You didn't mean it." Liam, I think it was Liam assured Louis. 

"Don't be sorry." I  reached over and grabbed his hand. My eyes widened at the shock that went up my arm. But, I quickly straightened myself.

He gave me a look, "But. I killed your husband." I shook my head and scrunched my nose up.

"Don't say that." I replied and slipped off the wedding ring on my finger. "You don't even know the shit I went through with him." I muttered.

"Uh, mate could you give me and uh.." He trailed off looking for my name. "Gabrielle." He smiled.

"Me and Gabrielle for alone for a minute?" I looked back at him in confusion. "What happened between you and him?" He said once Liam left.

"Why would I tell you?" I asked. I didn't mean to come off as a bitch, but it was a serious question.

"Well, seeing as you're his wife and you're not even the least bit upset over this,  and I'm the one who killed him. I have a right to know."

I shrugged. "No, you don't." He sighed,

"Look. I'm trying to be your friend here. I mean, I killed someone you care about. I need to make it up to you somehow." He looked at me with pleading eyes. I looked down and fiddled with the cast on my arm.  

"I don't care about him. I hate him." I spat.

"Why?" He asked.

"Why do you care?" I growled.

"I'm just trying to understand." He said defensively.

"You will never understand what I went through." My ears teared up and Louis instantly eloped me in a hug.

"Don't cry, love. Please."

I wiped my tears. "When can I leave here?" I asked changing the subject.

"The doctors said today. But, you have to come back for a check up. I guess you can go home now." He said.

"I don't have anywhere to stay." I confessed.

"You can stay with me." Louis suggested.

"No, I couldn't-."

He cut me off, "I want you to. Me and Harry share a house, but there's an extra room you can stay in."

I looked down embarass, "You don't have to pretend to like me. I don't need charity."

He put his hand on mine. "That man hurt you, I don't know how but I can see it in your eyes you've been hurting and I will do anything to make sure you are safe and sound."

I smiled. A genuine smile. Something that hasn't been on my face in a while. When Louis saw it he returned the smile.

"I don't have any clothes or anything." His eyes flicked to anger. "What the fuck did this guy do to you?"

I chuckled, "Lou. I promise, I'll tell you when I'm ready."

He smiled. "Well sha'll we get out of here?"

I nodded, "Please." 

"Okay, first things first. Shopping spree!" He yelled really loud and I laughed. I'd have to remember I owe him and the others... a big thank you.
