We've Got You

Part 7

The next morning Louis wakes alone, he had a terrible night filled with nightmares and he lay awake terrified, even in the safety of Harry's arms. He felt like something was going to happen to Harry or one of the boys, thought Troy or Noah was going to come and kill them all. He's still on edge and scared. Louis notices a note on Harry's pillow, he reaches out with trembling hands.

"Morning baby, I didn't want to wake you before I left, you didn't sleep well and looked peaceful. I'll be home by 5 with the rest of the lads. Use the house phone to call me if you need to. I miss you already, your Harry xxx.

Louis insides summersault at Harry's words, he's falling so hard for Harry it's scary. Louis knows all the boys are working today, they said it wouldn't happen that often but today's just one of those days. Louis gets up on shaky legs and has a shower, he's still plagued with his dreams and he's uneasy and shaky, he vomits in the shower as he lets his terror consume him.

Usually when Louis is awake he can control his thoughts, knows what's a dream and what's not but, when you live the nightmare he suffered with the Bolton's, its hard to escape and easy to let the terror consume your rational thoughts.

Louis tries his hardest to forget his nightmares, he dresses in black skinnies, his vans and a baby blue sweater. He tries to eat but can't even look in the fridge without gagging. He tries the TV but it puts him more on edge. It's just after lunch when he buckles and calls Harry.

He gets a receptionist that says Harry is busy with patients, Louis asks for Scott but gets the same reply. Drew and Edward are on lunch and Jax is on a different ward. Louis starts to panic and doesn't know what to do. He decides some fresh air might help.

He gets up, and grabs the apartment key the boys gave him. He doesn't have any money or a phone so he leaves the apartment with nothing.

The London air is cold and Louis doesn't have a jacket, the cold nips at him but he can't seem to care, his legs carry him towards the hospital, he feels like he's being followed and he becomes anxious. He turns around every so often, looking over his shoulder but sees no one, he can't shake the feeling.

Louis is about a block from the hospital when he passes Kimberly's offices, he remembers them from the other day. He stops out the front, Maybe he should go inside instead of bothering the boys at work. He contemplates his options but it's when he looks to his left and sees Noah staring at him from across the street that he takes flight inside the building.

Louis breathing picks up as he makes it in front of the lifts, he can see Noah crossing the street and panics, hitting the lift button over and over. It thankfully dings and Louis gets in, desperate for the doors to shut, he sees Noah approaching, his heart rate through the roof. The lift doors thankfully shut just as Noah makes it to the lobby. Louis struggles to regain his breaths. What the hell does Noah want, fuck, he was following Louis, how does he even know where Louis is. Louis is panicking and as the doors open to the empty waiting room of Kimberly's floor he stumbles out.

The receptionist sees the state Louis is in and calls for someone. Not even a second later he sees Kimberly and Joey rushing into the room.

"Louis?" Kimberly asks.

"Kiddo, are you okay?" Joey asks,

"I...I..." Louis shakes his head.

"Come on buddy, let's go to another room hey" Joey says.

Suddenly the lift dings and the doors open, Louis looks around and sees Noah smirking at him. Joey and Kimberly look towards the lifts too.

"Sorry wrong floor" Noah smirks as he presses another button and the lift closes.
