MISSING

Sixteen

Chapter Text
Louis wakes to immense pain and confusion, he's woken up in recovery with lots of nurses around him.

"Welcome back Louis, just relax, you're going to be fine" one nurse tells him

"Dr Tomlinson removed the bullet from your shoulder, everything is fine just rest" Louis hears.

He's so confused, bullet? Shoulder? Louis has no idea what's happened or where he is. He doesn't have the strength to ask he's so weak. He just wants his mum right now.

He's wheeled upstairs to another room and hooked up with oxygen and drips connected everywhere. He sees what looks like blood next to his saline drip and wonders why he's getting blood. He tries to remember what happened but he can't and he's starting to freak out.

Before he can completely panic he sees his brothers, Harry and Charlie enter the room.

"Lou" Harry sighs relieved as he rushes over and kisses Louis head.

"Mmm" whispers confused.

"I'm here darling" Harry tells him.

"How are you feeling" Edward asks gently

"Sore and tired" Louis responds

"That's normal bud" Scott smiles as he checks Louis vitals

"What happened" Louis asks

The boys look to each other

"You don't remember what happened?" Drew asks

Louis shakes his head.

"Where's Mum and Dad? I want Mum" Louis says upset

The boys look at each other worriedly

"Mum and Dad?" Edward asks confused

"Lou, do you know who this is?" Scott asks curiously, referring to Harry.

Harry waits with baited breath, he doesn't know what he will do if Louis doesn't recognise him

"Harry, my boyfriend" Louis says with a hint of sass

Harry smiles relived as do the boys.

"What's going on? Can you get Mum please" Louis says

Harry sits next to Louis and Louis relaxes on Harry, he's exhausted

"What's the last thing you remember kiddo?" Scott asks

"Ummm I don't know, Drew making a toastie" Louis replies

Drew smiles

"Good boy" Drew says

"But you don't remember what happened to you or why you're here?" Scott asks

Louis sighs and the memories come back, he develops tears in his eyes.

"I don't want to talk about it" he says quietly

"Okay buddy, you don't have to right now okay" Edward says.

"Can you just get mum Eddie, please" Louis asks getting upset.

"Why don't you rest Lou and I'm sure Mum will be here when you wake up" Scott says.

Louis is already falling asleep on Harry and nods slightly

"Good boy Lou, you're okay" Harry says gently stroking his hair.

When Louis is off the boys look to Scott.

"It might just be confusion, blood loss, his trauma, he wants Mum and he's just forgotten a few things. It could last a few days or he might remember when he wakes up again. We just have to let him remember" Scott tells the boys.
