<><>Willa POV<><>

I had just gotten my scan, and I was waiting for the results. Skyler and Liam were at my side. I was extremely nervous. The minutes were ticking by at the speed of glaciers. After what seemed like forever, the doctor came in with a somber look on his face. "I'm afraid that Willa's problems are more serious than we thought," he said. 

I prepared for the worst. I squeezed Skyler and Liam's hands, and waited for what my diagnosis was. "I am sad to say, Willa, that you have brain cancer. The cancer is over the right hemisphere of your cerebrum, which holds memories. This is why you have been fainting whenever you see something from your past."

Skyler broke down and cried into my shoulder when she heard the words "brain cancer." Liam was trying to stay strong, but a tear trickled down his face when the doctor was explaining my diagnosis.

I was trying to stay strong on the outside, but on the inside, I felt lie I was going to throw up. Brain Cancer? Why does all of the bad stuff happen to me? I mean, I knew there are a ton of people worse off than I was. I just felt so upset, and angry. 

"I'm afraid you'll have to start Chemo Therapy immediately," the doctor said to conclude his diagnosis. Kemo? I couldn't believe this! I was going to be bald. Again, I know this sounds petty, but I really like my hair!!

I went to the waiting room, where I was greeted by Louis, Zayn, Niall, Harry, Ellie, Coco, and Sabrina. 

"So, what's going on?" asked Niall, his arm around Coco.

I couldn't bring myself to tell them. I looked up at Liam and asked, "Can you tell them?"

He took a deep breath, and tried to steady his voice. "W-Wil-Willa has br-br-brain cancer," he finally said. As soon as these words left his mouth, the room was silent. The only sounds were Sabrina's sniffling and the occasional breath. 

"I-I...." I started. No. I was not going to seem sad or helpless. That would just make the situation worse and make them feel less confident. "I have to start Chemo today," I said, sounding stronger than I felt.

That was when Ellie, Sabrina, and Coco lost it. Niall, Harry, Louis, and Zayn were trying to keep it together. They all engulfed me in a group hug, and I felt so loved. I knew I could always count on them.

Later, I walked down to the salon down the street. "Cut it all off," I said. I couldn't bare to look as my beautiful, mahogany brown hair fell to the floor below. 

I ran back to the hospital, not daring to look in the mirror. I was in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor to call me in for Kemo, when I saw Liam. He walked in bravely, and I couldn't believe what I saw.

He cut off his voluminous curls, and got a buzz cut. "I cut it off and donated it to Locks of Love," he said when he saw my expression.

I hugged him for the first time since I got ran over. It felt almost normal, and gave me the bust of strength that I needed to comfort me before Chemo.

"Come on, Willa," the doctor called. 

I took a breath, and left Liam's comforting arms to the hospital room.
