{LOUIS' POV}

   *May 24th, 2014*

   When I woke up the next time, my parent's were still sitting by my bedside hand in hand. As soon as my mum saw my eye's flutter open she had her finger's running through my hair again. My dad had a hand clamped on my knee, rubbing it soothingly through the sheet's. That's when I remembered something.

   "Mum? What did we need to talk about?" I whispered hoarsely. She sighed heavily, giving me a small, sad smile.

   "Well....We're going to be staying here in Mullingar for awhile."

   "What? W-why?" She bit her lip, glancing at my dad. He squeezed my knee.

   "Louis, we're going to get you some help." He said. My heart pounded quickly against my chest, my head spinning.

   "No....." I whispered, his word's hitting me full force. Tear's welled behind my moms eye's.

   "There's a suicide prevention center here in Mullingar. When you get released from the hospital, you're going to be staying there for awhile. The doctor said he doesn't recommend travelling until you're better." I pushed myself up quickly, groaning at the pain that shot through me. My mum's hands flew to my chest, trying to get me to lay back down.

   "Baby be careful!"

   "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I yelled, pushing myself away from her. Wire's tugged at my arm's as I moved, and I ripped them out.

   "Louis stop!" Dad shouted, tear's pouring down his face. I brought my knee's to my chest, burying my face in them.

   "We're just trying to help boobear...." My mum whispered. I could hear the sadness in her voice.

   "I don't need help! I won't go!"

   "Louis you tried to kill yourself!" I whipped my head up, glaring at her with a tear stained face.

   "WHICH MEAN'S I WANT TO DIE!!! I DIN'T WANT TO GO!!! I WANT TO DIE!!!"

   "WHY?!!! JUST TELL ME WHY?!!" My mom screamed, sob's ripping their way from her throat. My dad flung his arm's around her, holding her tightly. I began to sob as well, and my hand's gripped onto my hair tightly. There was only one thing that I wanted in that moment. Only one thing I wanted for comfort.

   "I WANT HARRY!!!" I screamed, choking on a sob. You probably think that I'm crazy for still loving Harry after all of this....but I don't care. I would always love him, no matter what. And in that moment, I needed him more than ever.

   {HARRY'S POV}

   "I...I HURT HIM"  I screamed, image's of my hand colliding with Louis' face coming to mind. The image's made the tear's run faster, my body shake harder.

   "THE MADNESS MADE ME DO IT!!! IT WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

   "Harry who did you hurt?" The doctor asked slowly. I shook my head frantically.

   "I WANT LOUIS!!!" I yelled, sobbing.

   "Who's Louis?" He asked, placing a hand on my knee.

   "I WANT LOUIS!!" He stared at my mom, silently asking for an answer.

   "That's his boyfriend...He's in the hospital as well...." She said quietly, tear's running faster down her face. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, and the doctor stood up, walking briskly toward's it. A nurse stood there, and they began talking quietly. The voice's were muffled, so I couldn't make out what they were saying. But, he soon closed the door again, walking back toward's me. I was shaking violently by this point, silent tear's trailing my cheek's.

   "Harry you need to calm down. And come with me." He said sternly, but kindly.

   "What? Why?" I asked, sinking into my mum's side. She placed her hand on my head to calm me, brushing the sweaty curl's back.

   "Just come with me. You're alright."

"Mum?" I asked, staring up at her with fear in my eye's.

   "Can I come with him?" She asked worriedly, holding me tighter. The doctor nodded, and the four of us left the room. I stayed practically glued to my mum's side, my dad laying a comforting hand on my shoulder. My eye's flickered around nervously, trying to get some clue as to where we were going. We went down in the elevator, and saw a sign that said we were in the emergency department. We led us down a hall, and stopped at a plain room door. I noticed a clipboard hanging beside it. Louis Tomlinson.

   "Louis?" I whispered, looking at the doctor hopefully. He said nothing as he peeked inside the room saying a few muffled word's. That's when I heard a voice that I would recognize anywhere.

  "HARRY!!!!" I heard someone scream, sobbing near the end. I rushed from my mum's side, pushing the doctor away from the door. I saw Louis cowering in the corner of his bed, his parent's seated in chair's right beside it. He had tear's running down his face much like mine, and held his arm's out like a baby wanting to be held. I ran over to him, climbing onto the bed beside him. He flung himself around me, and I did the same. We were a sobbing, shaking mess, clinging to each other like there was no tomorrow.

   "Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson could we leave them alone for a few minutes?" The doctor asked, peeking his head in the room. I heard the scrape of chair's as his parents stood up, then the click of the door sounded. There was no window on this one, so we were completely alone. I leaned back, cupping his face in my hands. Then, I crashed my lip's into his.
