Nothing is ever impossible (Olly Murs and One Direction)

4. The News that would change her life.

Well this is only a short chapter, but with a large impact (well at least i thought so) some of the things I've written about Niall may not be true but thats how I want it to stay. Please comment thoughts and questions :) thanks for reading.

Niall’s POV

 We got to the hospital fairly quickly, no one had noticed me, which I was glad about, I didn’t want Jess to be mobbed by the fans at this hard time. We got out the car and made our way to the hospital via the back entrance. We got to the reception desk and Jess asked the women where her father was.

“Level 4, Ward 16, in the Sandringham room.” She said.

“Thanks.” Jess replied, she grabbed by hand, and we made our way to the lift, I pressed the button and we waited.

“It’s gonna be fine Jess, I’m here for you.” I said pulling her into a hug, I kissed her head and we got into the lift.”

Silence. But not awkward.

*Ding*

“Level 4” said the voiceover. The doors opened, Jess looked at me one more time and we got out. We pressed the buzzer for the door and we were let through, we followed the signs to find ward 16 and then found the room her dad was in. She stopped abruptly.

“Niall?” she said to me

“Yes?” I answered

“Please don’t go.” She said with sad eyes looking up to me

“Go? Why would I do that? I’m here for you, don’t you ever forget that.” I assured her.

“Thanks Nialler.” She kissed my cheek, and I grabbed her hand, she knocked on the door and we walked in together.

“Hey Dad.” Jess said as she gripped my hand even tighter. He looked in a terrible state, his eyes were pure white and pale, in fact his whole face was pale. He looked frail, he’d lost a lot of weight recently. Jess went over and gave him a hug, he winced slightly.

“Ooh sorry Dad” she said

“Don’t worry, its fine” he chuckled, coughing.

“Hey Niall, how u doin’ mate?” He said to me as I went up and shook his hand.

“Fine thanks Trev.” I replied, I went over and sat on the chair, Jess remained perched on the side of his bed with her dad’s hand in hers.

“You seen Lily today then dad?” Jess asked trying to create conversation.

“Yeah she popped in earlier with Ben.” (Lily was Jess’s younger sister, she was 18 and in her last year at school, and Ben was her boyfriend). He replied.

“Aww that’s nice, I’ll pop home later then and see how she and mum are coping.” Jess replied.

They talked for a while, about this and that, about Jess’s job, the band and I, and Rosie and Olly. They never ran out of anything to say, I loved seeing Jess when she was with her dad, he always made her smile, I wish my dad had been like that, he died when I was 12 in a motorcycle accident, we were so close motorbikes were his hobby and he had always wanted me to get into them when I grew up, he bought me my first bike at 7 it was a small nippy little thing, I only ever went on it when I was with him though.

“Jess, I’m just nipping to get a coffee, would you like anything?” I asked

“Erm, a hot chocolate please.” She smiled at me

“Okay… Trev?” I asked looking towards him.

“No thank you Niall.” He said and I left them chatting. I got to the drinks machine and got my coffee and Jess’s hot chocolate, I added the sugar and left. On my way back to the room, a lady stopped me, oh here we go I thought, another fan asking for a picture for her daughter or sister or something.

“Excuse me… erm, Mr.Horan?” she asked touching my arm.

“Er… yes?” I answered.

“You’re Miss. Carroll’s boyfriend aren’t you?” she asked me.

“Err, yeah why?” I asked puzzled.

“I need to tell you something in confidentiality, come here a second.” She said pulling me to one side.

“I must get back to her an give her these.” I butted in.

“Wait, this wont take a second.” She retaliated. I sighed. “Mr.Carroll isn’t well at all, he had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest last night, he was on  oxygen all night, and it’s amazing that he’s come round so quickly. Mr.Horan, I need you to help Jess prepare for the worst-“

“But you said he was getting better.” I asked puzzled

“I’m afraid not Mr.Horan, doctors ran some tests and he had a scan earlier this morning, he has a tumour on the left side of his heart, unfortunately its beyond the doctors control and he only has a few months to live at the most.” I felt a lump form in my throat… ‘a few months’ I thought.

“Oh…okay… I need to head back now, sorry.” I turned round to head off, she grabbed my arm.

“Please Mr.Horan, you need to prepare her for the worst, I would take her to one side sooner rather than later and tell her. I will inform his wife the next time she’s in… Thank you Mr.Horan.” I smiled and hurried off, they would be wondering where I’d got to. I got back to the room, knocked and entered.

“Finally, thought you’d gone to ground your own coffee beans you’d been gone that long.” Jess laughed lightening the mood.

“Sorry babe there was a queue.” I smiled giving her the drink, she seemed to take the white lie… I hated lying to her, and now that I knew about her father it would be hard to keep lying until I found the right time to tell her. We all talked for ages; about an hour until the nurse came in and told us the visiting hours were over and we had to go.

“Bye Trev, see you soon mate.” I said shaking his hand.

“Nice to see you to mate, look after her” he chuckled pointing towards Jess.

“Oh don’t worry about that, I’ll keep her safe.” I replied and went and stood over by the door.

“Bye Dad, see you very soon, get better, I’ll go and see mum and tell her abut your progress.” She hugged her dad “I love you.” She whispered in his ear.

“I love you too sweetie.” He replied kissing her hair.

“See you very soon dad.” She said again joining me and taking my hand, interlocking our fingers. He blew her a kiss, she pretended to catch it and he gave me the nod, which I returned. ‘See you very soon mate’ I thought. We made our way back to the entrance where the car was waiting for us. We got in.

“Thanks for coming with me Niall, I really appreciate it babe.” She said looking at me.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m always here for you.” I replied kissing her softly on the lips. She smiled at me, I put my arm around her and she leaned into my chest. How the fuck was I gonna tell her that her dad only had  few months to live!
