50 Dannys POV

The night past without much happening, apart from recurring nightmares. I couldn't stop dreaming of the future, and how this was planning out right now. At the moment, it looked like I was never going to hear Tom talk to me again, he wasn't going to smile, talk, laugh, play music, or do anything Tom-like again. It haunted me to think that, but what if I never did see Tom smile, or talk ever again? What if he was so damaged from the time away, he couldn't speak or anything ever again? I needed Tom back, we all needed Tom back, I couldn't stand not being able to talk to him, hold him, love him like I always would have.

"Danny, we're here! You up yet?" Harry called from downstairs, and I just stayed in bed. He and Dougie came up a few minutes later, sitting on the bed with me. "hey, time to rise and shine! We've gotta go see Tom!" Dougie encouraged, shaking my shoulder. "yeah, but whats the point if he's just going to face the wall and not react to anything?" I sighed, trying so hard not to give up hope on my Tom. "he'll warm up soon. Just give him some time. We don't know what happened over the past year, something could have happened to him, thats really messed his head up. We just need to spend some time with him and let him know that we're not going to do anything but give him love. Look, how about we take the DVD player down and some DVDs, we'll watch them with him, like we used to on tour. Maybe that will help." Harry suggested, and I sat up. "yeah, that could help, thats how friends act isn't it? Maybe he'll realise we're his friends that way!" I smiled, jumping up from the bed.

"exactly, now go get dressed, we have half an hour before we have to go. We'll get the DVDs, any preferences?" Dougie nodded, getting up, making sure Harry was still holding him. "erm, Star Wars, and Friends, that'll make him laugh." I answered, running to my wardrobe to find some of my best clothes. Then I ran to the bathroom, getting showered and dressed, not coming out until I looked my best, wanting to look good for Tom. I put my hair up, making sure it wasn't fluffy or frizzy, and that there wasn't a single curl still curly. My hair wasn't long enough to look alright curly, so I made sure it was straightened and gelled up.

Then, I bounded down the stairs and scoffed my breakfast so fast I almost had heartburn! "you ready to go?" Harry asked, pulling on his shoes again. "yep, ready to rock and roll...and gain back my lovers trust!" I grinned, actually not able to wait to see Tom, just to see if he smiled.

51 Harrys POV

Danny clutched at the DVD player the whole way to the hospital, like it was his life line to Tom, which it probably was. When we reached the hospital, he almost skipped to Toms room, but stopped dead in his tracks, paling and almost dropping everything he had in his hands. "Dan, whats up? Whats...oh." I looked from Dannys face to Toms bed, feeling myself pale at the sight.

Tom was laying awkwardly on the bed, his wrists and ankles tied down to the bed by restraints. There were clear tear tracks on his pale face, and by the looks of it he was knocked out, because no-one was that still while they were sleeping. "sh*t Tom!" Danny reacted first, running forward and undoing all the restraints, gathering the blonde in his arms. "oh baby, you poor, poor boy! Your safe now, your safe now." Danny whimpered, squeezing Tom tightly, seemingly not caring about the fact that Tom was knocked out and not responding.

"why would they do this to you, huh? What happened last night?" Danny asked, moving around so he was sat behind Tom, resting him on his chest, arms around his bony shoulders. "I don't know, maybe he panicked a little as someone tried to touch him?" I suggested, shrugging, not knowing why Tom would end up being restrained and knocked out. "maybe, I hope he doesn't wake up soon! Because, f*ck its been a while since I've hugged him, he's so small, but it feels so good." Danny sighed, cuddling Tom like he would have cuddled a teddy, smiling a little. "you might have to move when he wakes up, because he might be a bit nervous from whatever happened last night." I warned lowly, not wanting to upset Danny. "I know, but for now, Toms getting a hug whether he likes it or not!" Danny giggled a little, nuzzling into Toms hair, kissing him over and over.

About an hour later, a nurse walked in to check Toms condition, and we asked her what happened last night, because Tom was still knocked out so we couldn't ask him. "well, last night, about 2 hours after you left, Tom tried an escape attempt, and ended up running through the corridors while being chased by 5 security guards. He almost outran them, but ran into a dead end wall, so we knocked him out and then took him back here. He should be waking up in about half an hour, and for Toms and your own safety, I would get off the bed and put him back into those restraints. And that isn't a suggestion, thats an order." The nurse explained, then glared at us until we got off the bed.

"do we have to put him back into the restraints? I'm sure he'll be fine." I asked, I wasn't sure I would be able to stand putting Tom into restraints, especially while he was so helpless. "its just a precaution, and it'll stop him running away again. He's here for his own good, not just for fun or something, so he needs to stay in the bed so we can treat him." The nurse gave us a warning glare, and we let her strap Tom down again, not even able to look at our trapped friend.
