Louis: Appendicitis (3)

 It was about 2 hours before we heard anything. The only thing that kept me going was that we got Louis here before his appendix burst. Hopefully it would be enough.

"Louis Tomlinson?" The nurse called from the doorway. I shot up, Liam and Niall close behind

"Yes, that's my boyfriend. Is he okay?" I asked.

"He's fine. They were able to remove the appendix without any complications. He'll be sore for a while, so no heavy lifting for about 2 weeks. We are going to keep him here for about a day and if he seems fine, then he can go home. He must stay in bed today and drink plenty of fluids."

"But he's okay?"

"Yes. Would you like to see him? He should just be coming out of the anesthesia now." I nodded and we all followed the nurse up to Louis' room. When I walked in I saw how Louis was still quite pale and a nurse was dressing the small incision on his abdomen. He was still asleep, but he looked so peaceful.

"Hi there. He's good, just sleeping for now. Call me when he wakes." The nurse finished up and left the room as I made my way to Louis' bedside.

I took his hand in mine and asked the other boys for some time alone. They nodded and left. Eventually Louis began to stir, so I pushed the button for the nurse, just as Louis opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light.

"Hi baby. How you feeling?" I asked as his eyes came into focus.

"Could be better. A little sore." He said gesturing towards his abdomen.

"I called the nurse to come give you some pain meds. She should be here in a minute," I said as Louis just nodded and it was silent. I just stared at the ground, unsure of what to say. He then squeezed my hand, almost as a way of getting my attention.

"What's up? Your quiet." He adjusted slightly so that I could sit with him. "When you get quiet, you always have something to say."

I sighed, but before I could say anything, the nurse came in.

"Hi Louis. I see you're awake. How are you feeling? Any pain?" She said as she assessed the incision and waited for Louis' reply.

"I'm okay, but it does hurt."

"Okay, I'll give you some pain meds. We are keeping you here overnight, but you should be okay to go home tomorrow. You'll have to take it easy though, okay?" She injected the pain meds through his IV.

Louis nodded and she left. He turned his attention back towards me.

"So, what were you going to say?"

"It's just-" I hesitated. "You scared me Lou. Just seeing you like that really scared me." I put my hand over my face, trying to hold back the tears as I wasn't the one in the hospital bed.

"It's okay love," He grabbed my hand, now holding both. "I'm sorry I scared you. But I'm okay now." He kissed my cheek and I could tell he was struggling to keep his eyes open as the pain meds must have made him tired.

"It's not your fault." I kissed him back. "Go to sleep, love. It's okay. I'll be here when you wake up." He nodded and fell asleep almost instantly.

Louis was released the next day and they were able to go back to touring in about a week. Louis still had to take it easy as he was still recovering, but with Harry's help and the rest of the band taking care of him, he was good as new in a few weeks.
