Rescued

Chapter 18

Jasen

After I called the police they showed up at the hospital not long afterwards. They were there for an hour or two, questioning each one of us trying to get as much information as possible. They even talked with the doctors to see what exactly had happened with the two boys in the hospital beds.

Alex was the last one to get questioned. She was so beat, hadn't slept or eaten in at least two days. She refused to leave Louis' side and whenever we tried bringing her food it would hurt sit there and not get eaten until she would see Niall and give it to him. I'm really worried about her, if she doesn't eat she's gonna get sick and go from being 'beside the hospital bed' to 'in the hospital bed'.

With the situation with Louis not going anywhere I talked to Liam and told him to keep a close eye on Alex because as much as I didn't want to, I had to get home. I had things to run. I walk into the small hospital room and over to Alex whose holding tightly to Louis' hand. "Hey Alex, I hate to do this but I've gotta go" she looks up at me slowly and nods "you call me if anything happens and you need my help okay? I'll be here for you" I pull her up out of the chair and give her a big hug.

"Thank you Jasen, we wouldn't have been able to do this without you" she holds me right before letting me go. I nod at her and turn to leave, I'm starting to wonder why Alex's mom told me to watch out for her. That girl is stronger than I am in many ways.

Alex

Liam comes in not long after Jasen leaves and give me a look "Alex, get up and go get some food. I'm not taking no for an answer this time. Your going to go down with Niall and get some food" he says before pulling me out of my chair and out the door to Niall. "I'll keep an eye on Lou, now please take care of yourself" he pleads nodding at Niall.

I really don't feel like eating but I get what he trying to do. So I reluctantly follow behind Niall down to the cafeteria. I could use a coffee honestly.

Niall and I had just gotten out food and we're able to go back up to the room when there was suddenly a huge commotion and a bunch of doctors were getting out of their seats and rushing out. Please don't be Louis. I silently pray setting my tray on one of the tables and running out as well.

As soon as those elevator doors opened to Lou's floor Liam was standing there in shack as he was ready to get on the elevator. "Liam what happened? Is he okay?" I asked quickly as he pulled me out of the elevator. He dragged me down the hallway to the room and when I looked through the window I started to cry.

Liam let go of my arm and I slowly walked into the room, Harry was out of his bed and by Lou's bed and just talking. I couldn't see Louis but when I got to his bed I broke down. He was okay!

As soon as he saw me his face lit up and Harry stepped out of the way and let us have our moment. I hugged him so tight I was afraid I'd brake him, "I was so scared you were gonna leave us" I said crying into his shoulder. He rubbed my back and I could feel his tears hitting my shoulder. "You won't get rid of me that easily" I chuckled at his response and pulled away from the hug.

He looked so much better then when we got here "I love you" he said putting a hand on my face. I smiled and leaned into his touch "I love you too Louis, more than you know" the doctor came in and interrupted our little moment by clearing his throat. "Mr. Tomlinson, I'm glad to see that you are finally awake. Now if we could just check up on a few things. It'll only take a moment"

We both nodded and I got out of the way and the doctor checked a few of the monitors, his pulse, and listened to his lungs. He smiled and wrapped the stethoscope back around his neck. "Well son, everything is as good as new. I would suggest taking it easy for the next week or so just in case. And if there is nothing else that comes to your concern your free to go!" With that the doctor left and I just smiled happily at Louis.

I looked over at Harry who was already getting out of bed after Liam brought him some clothes. The doctor must've dismissed them both, Liam came in again and dropped some clothes on Lou's lap and gave him a hug "I'm glad your okay mate. But get up and get dressed I wanna leave this hospital" we laughed at his remark and I pulled the curtain shut that decided the room.

Then I pulled back the blankets and helped Louis get out of the bed. As he began to pull of the gown I could see all the scars all over his body that John had left there, I could feel the tears in my eyes at the sight of them. Louis quickly pulled his clothes on and turned to face me. When he saw my tears his face fell "Alex? What's wrong?" He asks pulling me closer to him.

"All those scars, he did that to you" he looked even more sad now. "It's okay Alex, we were gonna put that in the past okay? They don't even hurt " I shake my head "it's my fault Louis....he was my father, I could've stopped him if I tried. I could've taken your place, I could've...."

"No Alex stop!" He hugs me tightly "baby it is not your fault. It will never be your fault. And why on Earth would you think I would EVER let you take my place?" He said quietly as he kept me close to him. "I'm so sorry" I sobbed into his shoulder. "You've got nothing to be sorry for, now how about we get home yeah?" I nod and we're about to walk out when I realize that I haven't seen my brother in a while. .....

Where was he? We walked out of the room and I looked at Liam "where's Jake and Brad?" I ask. He smiles "I sent them to the house already, Jake was really tired so I gave Brad the new address and they left about 15 minutes ago" he pointed as the rest of the boys showed up.

Louis gave them all hugs and we headed out. This is it, home. I guess we've got a new house, so that means I'll be finding myself a new job. Man, I didn't even get to work a real day with Parker. I was actually really excited to get to know him he was great.

But we've got to move forward. Though that house had so many good memories it had a lot of bad, painful ones as well that we need to move on from. I thought of the day that Harry and Niall told the boys about the scars, and how they told them I was the same way. That day was hard.

When we got out of the hospital there were two SUV's parked in front of the door. Some men were standing outside of them and opened the door for us "called us a ride" Harry says as we pile in. All the boys fit into one car but we were taking two so might as well take advantage of that. When the other boys had climbed into the first car Lou and I climbed into the second.

Time to go home.......
