3. Too Far Gone
Harry's pov
I couldn't fall asleep so I stayed up and kept watch with Lynn. I was poking the fire with stick when we got into another argument.
"How could you've done that to me?" She asked
"Do what?"
"PUSH ME OFF A FREAKING CLIFF WHERE I COULD OF DIED!" She whispered yelled.
"Oh my God. It's not a big deal"
"ITS A HUGE DEAL HARRY!!! YOU DIDNT KNOW HOW DEEP THAT WATER WAS! YOU DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS IN THE WATER-"
"AND YOU DIDNT KNOW IF I HAD A PARACHUTE ON DID YOU?" I whispered yelled back her.
"Harry-"
"No you didn't know. All you wanted is to be with Louis right?"
"Do you even hear yourself?" She asked
"Do YOU hear YOURSELF?"
"IM JUST SCARED OK?!!"
"What?" I asked confusingly
"Harry it's obvious that he likes you back. He says he likes me too though. It's a matter of time before he chooses between one of us. I just feel like I'm loosing him"
"We're both losing him Lynn. He's not the same"
"I know that. What if he doesn't get better?"
"He will" I said confidently. "He's already getting better. He yelled at us today, so there's a start"
"He always yells when he has panic attacks..."
"I know but I felt like this was different"
"Harry..." Lynn said and put a hand on my knee, "he's not better"
"Then we have to help him"
"By doing what? Nothing is working!"
"I'd don't know" I hissed. "I-I just don't know what to do anymore."
It was silent between us for a while.
"Do you mind keeping watch? I'm tired" Lynn said.
"Yeah sure"
I sat there picking at the fire with the same thought replaying in my mind over and over again. What if Louis's already too far gone?
One of our good moments started to play in my mind.
"Aren't leprechauns suppose to have red hair" Louis giggled.
"Louis I'm not a leprechaun for the 5th time." Niall groaned.
"Then why are you so short?"
"Your shorter than me"
"I am?"
"Yea". The boys were in the hotel room. They were taking a break from the case and just acting like regular teenagers. Louis was still drugged up and loopy. Louis started to feel his own forehead. Tears appeared in his eyes and he frowned.
"What's wrong lou?" I asked.
"I d-don't have a nos-s-e" I pulled Louis into my lap and chuckled.
"Yes you do" I grabbed his hand and brought it down lower.
"Your right. Are you a witch?"
"Yup" Louis's smile was as wide as it could be.
"I always wanted to meet a witch" louis said sweetly. I chuckled. Louis let out a yawn.
"I think we should leave and let Louis get some sleep." Zayn said.
"I'll stay with him." I said.
"Just make sure he ha-" Liam started.
"Ill take care of him Liam" the boys left the room. As Niall left the room he winked at Me. I glared at him but blushed at the smaller boy sleeping in his lap. "C'mon louis let's go to bed." I picked the smaller lad and put him in bed.
"Harreh will you stay with me?" Louis said drowsily.
"Of course" Harry laid down next to Louis. Louis put his head on my chest and instantly fell asleep. After a few minutes I fell asleep to Louis's steady breaths.
I didn't realize it but tears had sprung into my eyes. I wiped them away quickly but another memory came just as fast and this one wasn't as happy as the last.
Lynn and I were screaming and sobbing for Louis to wake up.
I was applying pressure to his wound when Lynn got up. Sam had already left the room so it was just us and Caroline. Caroline didn't even have time to reload the gun when Lynn charged at her. She smacked the gun out of her hand and tackled her. Then she started beating the crap💩 out of her.
"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR RUINING MINE AND ALL OF THESE GOOD PEOPLES LIVES" She screamed. I've never seen someone so angry in their lives. I looked down at Louis.
"Please lou open those eyes" I sobbed. "Please Louis I love you. Please open them" his eyes shot open.
"Ah Harry my chest" he gasped.
"I know I know. It'll be ok"
"W-where's Lynn?"
"She's beating the crap out of Caroline"
"G-good. W-when we g-et out of 'ere I was plan-ning on asking her out" my heart sank.
"You still can" I said sadly. I noticed a thin stream of blood running out of his mouth. I wiped it with my sleeve.
"I'm g-glad you o-o-ok" he gasped out in pain.
"You're going to be ok too Lou"
"L-look a-at me h-Haz. I ain't d-doing so wel-l-l"
"Shh. Just stay positive." I said. I could tell he was getting worse by the minute. "LYNN!" I shouted. She came running. I looked to see Caroline passed out and the ground.
"I'm going to apply more pressure. Harry go get help" she said
"No I can't leave him"
"If you want him to live DO IT NOW" she yelled. I nodded.
"I'll be back Lou" I whispered and gave a squeeze to his hand. I got up and ran as fast as I could. This isn't about Louis's and mines future anymore, it's about saving him now. And with that I ran my heart out to save my Lou.
I always wondered what it would of been like if I stayed with Louis when he got shot and Lynn left to go get help. Maybe things would have been different between us...
"I can take watch Haz" I heard a voice behind me and I jumped.
It was Louis.
"A-are you sure?" I asked surprisingly.
"Yeah. I can't sleep right now" he said.
"Oh. Well if anything happens, promise you'll wake me, ok?"
"Ok"
I laid down and closed my eyes.
Maybe he is getting better
That was the last thing I thought before I was consumed with sleep.
A/N: sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I'm on fall break now so I'll be posting a lot more.
