Melanie's POV

Liam and I sped towards the hospital in his car, probably breaking more than a few traffic laws.

I was forced to leave Harry at the center since patients aren't allowed to leave. I dearly needed him as my hands began to shake from nerves and grief.

"Mel," Liam said as he rounded another corner. "Calm down; we'll be there soon."

I nodded before taking in the huge hospital looming over us as we pulled into the parking lot. As soon as Liam parked, we flung open our doors and took off sprinting towards the entrance.

"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked sweetly.

"We're here to see Louis Tomlinson," I wheezed.

The woman typed agonizingly slow before finally looking up. "Ah yes; you'll have to wait a few minutes. Mr. Tomlinson is having a blood transfusion done at the moment."

"Blood transfusion?" Liam choked out.

"Well yes, he lost quite a lot of blood. It was the only way to help him," she said. "You may wait over there."

Liam and I reluctantly sat in the plastic chairs by the double doors leading to emergency. I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you," I murmured. "I didn't mean it."

"No," he argued. "It's my fault. I know you're plenty old to take care of yourself, but I still worry about you. You're like my little sister."

I kissed his cheek before snuggling back into him. "Thanks Li."

We both fell asleep and were shocked awake when a doctor cleared his throat loudly.

"Are you here for Louis Tomlinson?" he grumbled.

"Yes, we are," said Liam, smoothing out his shirt.

"You're lucky you got him here when you did," said the doctor. "Mr. Tomlinson nearly died from blood loss. But, his transfusion went well and he should wake up in a few hours."

I nearly cried with relief. "Thank you so much Doctor!"

Liam and I maneuvered through the hallways until we were standing in front of room 246. I almost threw the door open to get to Louis.

There he was.

Louis was deathly pale, his brown locks frazzled and sitting in a mess on his head. My eyes followed down his arms until they got to the thick bandages covering his wrists. A lump formed in my throat as the tears welled up in my eyes.

"Oh Louis," I sighed. "Why would you do this to yourself?"

Harry's POV

I waited anxiously until the early hours of the morning for Melanie and Liam to get back. When their car finally pulled into our parking lot, it was almost 4 in the morning.

Melanie sauntered in looking exhausted and drained. Her eyes met mine and I noticed they were red from crying. I opened my arms and she eagerly nestled into me, her face burying into my chest.

"Come on," I mumbled. "Let's get you to bed."

I nearly carried her to my room as she leaned sleepily on me.

"This isn't my room," she croaked.

"I know," I smiled sadly. "I figured you didn't want to be alone."

Her eyes locked with mine and I saw the utter gratefulness spread through her expression. My eyes reflected understanding and I pulled her closer.

As soon as we stumbled into my room, Melanie shrugged off her coat and shoes and reattached herself to my side. I pulled off my shoes before pulling back the covers on my bed and climbing under them. Melanie followed suit before scooting closer to me.

"Hang on," I murmured, remembering something that would help relax her.

I turned on my side and pulled her back to me so that I was spooning her. Melanie's hand instantly found mine under the sheets and locked our fingers together securely.

"Thank you," she sniffed.

"It's nothing," I said. "Go to sleep."

I leaned my lips to her ear before humming a nameless tune to help her fall asleep. It only took a few minutes before her eyes fluttered closed and her breathing evened out.

"Goodnight," I whispered.

My chest swelled with love as I felt her hand subconsciously squeeze mine.

I'm in love with this girl.

I just hope no one will take her away.
