Crashing Down |L.S|

Chapter 18

Monday 8:23am

Niall, Liam, and Harry were all there to see Louis off to his surgery. Harry was the most anxious, almosting having a panic attack.

"We will see you after okay?" Niall and Liam said before stepping back, letting Harry say something.

"Harry please, don't just stand there in silence. Say something." Louis pushed the nurse away, who was going to give him something to calm him down. He wanted to be fully aware of what Harry had to say.

"Just come back. I'll be waiting." Harry pulled Louis in for a kiss, lasting longer than expected. Eventually Louis pushed him back.

"Don't worry okay. Take time to go home and relax. I'll see you in a few hours." One last kiss and Louis was off, leaving Harry in the hallway outside his room.

Niall and Liam escorted Harry to the waiting room. He wasn't leaving, like Louis asked him to. He couldn't just brush off the fact that his boyfriend was back in surgery, just like the first night they were here.

As they waited, Liam left, calling his mom and exiting the hospital. Niall stayed, but fell asleep in the chair. Harry tried to do the same, but couldn't. He was too anxious.

It had been over an hour at that point and Harry was looking for an update. He went over to the reception desk, asking one of the nurses.

"Can I help you with something darling?" The nurse was very polite, reaching for her clipboard.

"Is there any update on Louis Tomlinson? He is in surgery." Harry fidgeted with his hands before looking up at her.

"I haven't received anything yet, but I-"

"What do you mean you haven't heard anything? It's been over an hour!" Harry slammed his hands on the desk, causing Niall to wake up from the commotion, not realizing what was happening.

"Sir please. The doctors have not updated us, which doesn't mean anything. Just have a seat and-"

"No!" He interrupted her once again, as Niall grabbed him, pulling him back. "Don't tell me just to wait! You have no idea what it's like! Just get me an update!"

Niall pulled him back away from the desk before grabbing his hands, trying to calm him down.

"Harry stop! It's okay. I'm sure he is fine." Harry was on the floor now, clutching his knees to his chest, crying. His breathing was slightly shallow, which caused Niall to call a nurse over.

"Is something wrong?" The nurse looked over at Harry.

"I think he's having a panic attack. He used to get them in the band sometimes, but I don't think he's had one in a while." Niall looked at Harry who was now breathing really fast, and couldn't seem to control it.

"I can't breathe."

The nurse left and came back with an oxygen tank and mask. She gave it to Niall, who then placed it over his mouth and nose. He soon was able to calm down, eventually falling asleep on Niall's shoulder.

About an hour later, Liam came back to Niall and Harry on the floor, still no update on Louis. Harry still had the oxygen mask on his face. Niall didn't want to move it in case it woke Harry up.

"What the? Niall?" Liam came down to Niall. "Is he alright?"

"He had a panic attack. Like a bad one."

"He hasn't had one in a while. Is it because of Louis? Is he alright?" Liam was concerned for Harry, but they weren't with Louis yet, so he obviously wasn't out of surgery yet.
