~~

louis and his best friend, harry were both eating their lunches rather quickly, trying to make it so that recess would come quicker and the two could play footie with their other friends, ed and nick. 

louis took the last bite of his sandwich, staring at everyone around him, rolling his eyes when he noticed they were taking their sweet time eating, "hurry up," louis muttered, making harry giggle beside him.

louis turned around to look at harry accusingly, "they're taking forever!!"

harry shook his head before putting a grape into his mouth, "its been five minutes, lou.

louis rolled his eyes and nodded his head, "forever."

luckily, about ten minutes later, the teacher had told everyone to get in a line. 

louis nearly squealed in excitement as he grabbed harrys arm and ran, making the pair the two first people on the line. 

the teacher slowly lead them outside, and when she announced that they could start playing, louis and harry bolted towards the football, grabbing it while ed and nick came running towards them. 

"what teams?" nick asked.

louis rolled his eyes, "same as usual. harry and i and ed and you."

nick nodded his head before smirking slightly, "we're gonna beat you," he sang. 

louis snorted, "thats what you said the past four times we've won."

harry and ed took their places at the goal, while louis and nick stood in the middle, both of them staring at each other, "you can have the ball first," louis muttered, "maybe it'll give you a chonce of winning."

nick snorted, before dribbling the ball towards the goal, not even making it halfway through before louis appeared and stole the ball, dribbling it and kicking it hard, making ed jump in the opposite direction, giving him and harry the point.

cheering louis ran around the playground, gaining the attention of his classmates who quickly gathered around where he and nick were playing. 

louis made about three more goals after that, making everyone slightly impressed at him and also making everyone laugh at nick- he sucked. 

nick crossed his arms and pouted, hating the idea of louis being more popular than him, and decided he would do the worst thing possible: 

he would make louis fall on his butt and everyone would laugh at him.

smirking, nick ran up to louis, pretending he was going to steal the ball, but instead stuck his foot out, making louis trip and twist weirdly, before falling down, on his butt. 

everyone began to laugh, but they quickly stopped when they realized that louis hadn't gotten up right away like he usually does. 

looking over at him, everyones face became white once they saw his ankle, noticing how weirdly it was bending, and everyone stared at louis, shocked when they heard wails coming out of his mouth and tears streaming down his cheeks, rocking back and forth, attempting to grab his leg. 

nick's eyes were wide, "louis get up, s-stop faking." 

harry gasped and ran over to get the teacher, tugging on her skirt and pointing to louis, on the verge of tears himself.

the teacher gasped loudly and ran into the classroom, speaking frantically on the phone, while harry hugged louis and gave him kisses on the cheek, muttering how he would be okay. 

about ten minutes later, an ambulance came by and picked up louis, taking him to the hospital.

"but i want to go with him," harry protested, staring at the huge bulky guy standing in front of him. 

"you have to stay in school," the man deadpanned. 

"but," harry's eyes filled up with tears, "hes my best friend!!"

the mans face softened, "he'll be okay. you can ask your mum to drive you after school, yeah? by then he'll have a cast on."

louis looked up at the man from the bed he was seated on, "what? whats a cast?" he asked, fear laced in his tone. 

the man let out a laugh and shook his head slightly, "your ankle's broken. quite a fall you took there."

louis' face turned white, "broken?" he asked, "im broken?" soon enough wails started coming out of his mouth again. 

the man let out a sigh as he closed the doors, walking back to the front and starting to drive away. 

harry wiped his tears as he turned around and walked up to nick, pushing him hard, making the lad fall on his butt. 

"you did that on purpose!" he yelled out, "louis wouldn't have had a broken ankle if you didn't trip him. stop being a sore loser!" he screamed, "b-baby!"

~~

"your parents are trying to get out of a meeting at the moment, but we managed to get your brother niall," the nurse told louis softly, making the little boy wipe his tears and nod his head. 

about fifteen minutes later, niall came walking in with a teddy bear. 

seeing his big brother, tears clouded up louis' vision as wails started leaving his mouth again as tears streamed down his face. 

letting out a small coo, niall picked louis up carefully and set him on his lap, hugging him, "you're gonna be okay, lou."

louis shook his head and looked up at niall, hiccuping slightly, "no, im not niall. im broken! my ankle b-broke a-and now papa and daddy and you h-h-have to get a new l-louis," he wailed out brokenly. 

niall stifiled a laugh, "thats not how having a broken ankle works, lou."

louis looked up at louis,  pout on his lips, "how then," he challeneged. 

"you break your ankle. you get a cast. you wear the cast for a couple of weeks, take it off and its back to normal,"  niall explained softly, "we dont have to get a new louis."

"you dont?" 

"no, we don't"
