Louis wakes himself up, screaming. Karen grabs him and holds him, she can see he's freaking out.
"Louis love, it's ok, calm down." Her voice was shaky.
Louis looked around, realising where he was...on the sofa in his living room.
Across from him was his granddad, and next to him, his Nan. There was no one else around.
"Why'd he have to die? I want Harry back!" He sobbed loudly, Karen rubbing his back.
Geoff got up and knelt down in front of him.
"Louis.... Harry's not dead. He's very ill, but he's alive." Louis was hysterical, and didn't quite hear.
"Lou, listen... Harry's alive!" He repeated. Louis looked at his Nan, who nodded.
"It's true... he's alive. He's very poorly, but he's still with us. Your Dad called earlier and told us, you passed out." Karen said.
Louis wiped his eyes and nose on his jumper sleeve, and tried to control his breathing. He's never been so scared in his life.
"Zayn, Niall...do they know?"
"Yes. They've gone to bed, they were exhausted. Your Mum and Dad are staying at the hospital." Geoff said, sitting next to Louis, who was shaking.
"I... I thought...we were at his f-funeral." Louis whispered.
"You were dreaming love. You made some pretty strange noises. It's over now. It wasn't real"
"And...we were about to die...a lorry was about to kill us!" He cried again.
"Oh god Lou. You're brain is working overtime. Why don't I make you some warm milk and see if you can sleep again. Now you know Harry is alive, you should sleep better." Karen said. Louis nodded and Karen got up to make his drink.
Louis hugged Geoff while she was gone.
"Wh-what's wrong with Harry?" Louis asked, not really sure if he wanted to know, as they said he was very ill.
"They're doing tests. They don't know yet. Your Dad said he'd call in the morning with more news. Try not to worry." Louis nodded, but deep down he was terrified.
Karen came back in with Louis' milk and handed it to him with two chocolate chip cookies.
"Thank you Nan" he said quietly.
He got lots of hugs while he finished his bedtime snack.
"Can I sleep in Niall and Zayn's room please?" He asked. He didn't want to be alone tonight.
"Of course darling. I'm sure they'd be happy for you to do that. Let's go up." Karen said, as the three of them stood up and walked slowly up the stairs.
Louis opened his brothers bedroom door. Niall was asleep, but Zayn was sitting up, looking at his phone.
"Hey Zayn, could I sleep in here tonight please?" He asked with glistening eyes.
Zayn smiled and nodded. He pulled his covers back and Louis got in.
"Goodnight boys. Try and stay positive. Love you." Karen said.
"Night boys." Geoff added, before leaving and shutting the door.
"Can't you sleep?" Louis asked.
"No. I'm scared to. What if..." Louis cut him off.
"Don't say it Zayn please. I had a terrible nightmare. I can't think of that. He's gonna be alright." Louis responded, looking at Zayn.
"Ok. I'm sorry. Just wish he didn't keep getting sick. It's not fair." He was trying so hard not to cry.
Louis noticed and put his arm around him.
"Is Niall ok?" Louis asked.
"Not sure. He cried, but went out pretty quickly."
"It's late, I think we should try and sleep too." Louis stated, as he yawned. Zayn nodded and they settled under the covers, hoping for good news in the morning.
*****
Louis woke up around 3am. He was struggling to get any decent sleep. He kept thinking of Harry.
He got out of bed carefully, so he didn't wake Zayn up. He saw Niall's bed was empty, so he went to find him.
He wasn't in the bathroom, so he walked downstairs, where he saw one of the lamps shining softly.
Niall was laying on the sofa, he can hear him crying.
"Niall?" Louis whispered as he walked around to the front of the sofa. His heart broke seeing his younger brother laying with his knees up to his chest, crying. His eyes were red and puffy, his cheeks soaked with tears.
Louis perched on the sofa next to him.
"Niall?" He said again.
Niall sat up and threw himself at Louis, he was sobbing his heart out. Louis rubbed his back, trying to calm him down. He'd never seen him cry like this before.
"It's ok Niall, don't cry. He'll be alright." Louis said, trying to sound positive, despite his shaky voice.
Niall didn't speak, he couldn't find any words. So Louis just kept telling him positive things, until he felt Niall getting heavy.
There's no way he'd get him up the stairs back to bed, and he didn't want to wake his grandparents up, so he laid him back down, and placed a throw over him.
He didn't want to leave him alone, so he went and woke Zayn up.
The boys all ended up sleeping on the sofas that night.
Eventually they were all asleep.
Thank god Harry isn't dead, but they don't know what's wrong with him. Even I don't know, I make this up as I go along.
Just seen that "the fit boy" has got 9k reads now, so I'm doubly happy tonight.
Thanks for your continuing support.
All the love XXX
