S.W.A.T

Part 13

Louis has a pretty lousy night but his scans come back clear and after nagging Andy so much, he agreed that Louis can go home, if he has the next two weeks off work and rests completely.

"I mean it Lou, you need to stay in bed unless you need to go to the bathroom or eat" Andy says

"I know, I promise I will" Louis says half smiling

"Harry and Scott aren't allowed back on the ward for another hour, so you can hang around until then and then you can get going okay" Andy says

Louis doesn't want to bother Harry and Scott and knows they have work today so doesn't want to call them.

"It's fine I've got a ride home" Louis says

Jax offered to come get him after he messaged this morning asking how Louis was. He's taken the next two days off just to rest under Liam's orders, but he's completely fine and wanted to help Louis out.

"Okay, if you're sure" Andy says sceptically

"Yeah, totally, Harry and Scott have work anyway" Louis says.

Andy nods and gets to taking Louis drip out, and discharging him with a whole bunch of medication.

Thankfully Scott and Harry dropped Louis some clothes off when they came up last night and Louis changes into his navy sweats and white sweater. Louis is in a lot  of pain and it's slow going, he walks as best he can out to the carpark where Jax is waiting for him.

"Okay?" Jax asks as he helps Louis into the car

"Yeah thanks" Louis says with a slight smile

Louis gives Jax the hotel address and Jax begins the drive

"I'm sorry about last night Lou, I'm really sorry" Jax says biting his lip

"It's not your fault, we were sideswiped" Louis says

"Yeah but I could have reacted quicker or something" Jax says shaking his head

"Don't beat yourself up, please, it was an accident" Louis says

"Thanks Lou" Jax smiles

Louis returns the smile and tries not to think about how much pain he's in.

When they pull up to the hotel, Jax helps Louis to unit number 5 on the bottom floor and he opens the door with the key Louis gives him.

When they get inside Louis sits down on the bed.

The place isn't the nicest at all, with a double bed against the wall with red and black sheets. The small bathroom is to the left of the door and a tiny table with a TV and mini fridge sits underneath. It screams 70's murder hotel but it's clean and Louis has hardly been staying there with work anyway.

"What have you got to eat in here!" Jax asks as he bends down to the fridge, he opens it and finds a bottle of water

"Not much, I haven't been grocery shopping, I'm not hungry anyway" Louis says as he winces

"I can run over and grab you some food" Jax says

Louis really doesn't want to be a burden, Jax has work to do and Louis feels guilty that he even gave him a lift home

"No no it's fine, honestly I'm okay, I'll get Uber eats if I'm hungry" Louis says

Jax looks at Louis assessing him before he agrees

"Okay, if you insist, but please call me if you need anything, I can pop over or get you food it's no trouble" Jax says

"Thanks Jax, I really appreciate it" Louis says
