At the clinic Louis is on the bed with an IV in his arm and Harry is talking with Jake*

Harry: okay tell me, Jake, the truth. 

*Harry stares at him*

Louis: I'm fine.

Harry: You're not fine. Jake, tell me the truth.

Jake: his body is failing  

Louis: yeah no why don't you start with the worst thing. Sure.

*Harry stares at Louis unable to breathe and Louis sighs*

Harry: what?

*Jake tells him the truth and Harry frowns and takes a step back in shock. Louis can see his lip starting to shake and his eyes filling up with tears.*

Louis: nonono please don't. Hey. Harry.

*Harry blinks and nods his face changing immediately*

Harry: I'll come back. 

*Harry kisses his head and walks towards the door*

Louis: what if I die and you won't be here?

*Harry stops and closes his eyes*

Louis: come here.

*Harry sits on the chair and takes his hand*

Jake: okay… I can turn on the screen now. I will come in to check on you every hour but you will probably pass out soon because of the medication. 

Louis nods: okay.

Jake: you'll be fine… 

Louis smiles: thank you.

Jake: no problem little brother.

*Louis pouts and Jake leaves the room and calls Gemma*

Gemma: love?

Jake: hi baby…

Gemma: how's Lou?

*Jake sighs*

Jake: um-

Gemma: nononono. Jake, no. Please no

Jake: there's nothing I can do anymore… It depends on… I… *sighs*

Gemma: just spill it out.

Jake: his heart will stop in two hours.

*Gemma falls on the couch*

Gemma: what?

Jake: his heartbeats are weaker than they were at home… he is on medication for one hour now, and they are worse. He's not getting better. 

Gemma: and… if it stops?

Jake: we can't do anything… the medication he got causes a bacteria that stops us from doing surgery… because the moment we open him, the infection will spread through his body and he will die immediately. We were too late.

Gemma crying: how is he?

Jake: smiling. You know he's strong and Harry is with him, he has to be strong. I can't tell them that he will die… I can't. 

Gemma: will he be in pain?

Jake: no… I told him to sleep… if his heart stops it will be in sleep… he won't feel anything. 

Gemma: and Harry? Is he there?

Jake: yeah he's here. *Sighs* I will… call you. He will need you.

Gemma: is there a chance? Hm? A small one?
