Chapter 11

"Zayn were did I put my phone?" I asked looking for it. I just had it a minute ago.

"It's right next to you on the couch." He said a little confused.

"Oh thanks, I knew I had it somewhere."

"You were just on it a minute ago; are you okay?" He moved over to the couch I sat in.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I smiled half-heartedly.

"It's probably just a normal symptom. Forgetting things. But that's okay, surgery will lessen them for you." He hugged me tight. "Also, the chemo is said to help lessen the amount of cancer cells in your body. And surgery relieves your brain a little bit."

"Wow, Zayn." I said. "You have done some research!" I kissed him softly on the cheek.

"Well, what else am a supposed to do?" He asked. I brought him in for another long hug.

"Zayn, about vacation." I started. "I want to go to Hawaii after my surgery. I want to go for a month or so. Just to relax and hope for the best."

"If you would like to princess." He smiled.

"And I want it to be just like the first time. If it's my last memory I want it to be good."

"Don't think like that. You'll be fine." No I won't Zayn. I'm dying and you don't know it. "And we can defiantly make it like the first time. All of it." He kissed the top of my head and reached over for the TV remote.

We were getting into the reality when my phone went off.

"Hey Lauren... No weren't doing anything... Sure if you want.... Yeah I have something I'd like to tell you... Could you tell Niall to call the rest of the boys... They're at your house? Even better... Yup... Okay see you soon." I ended the call then looked at Zayn. "Lauren and the rest of the boys are coming over. I'm going to tell them today."

"Okay honey, if you're ready." He twirled a piece of my hair in between his fingers. I nodded and proceeded to get up.

"Roxi!" Zayn called for me up the stairs. "Lauren and the boys are here." I looked at myself once more in the mirror and ran down the stairs to greet the guests.

"Hello everyone." I said with a smile.

"Hey!" Louis, Harry, Liam, and Niall engulfed me in a suffocating hug. "Are you Mrs. Malik yet? Are you my sister yet? It's only been five years already!" Louis screamed at me.

"Louis!" I said and smacked his arm. "You don't need to worry about our marriage life."

"Roxi!" Lauren pushed threw the sea of boys and gave me a big hug. "I know it's only been two days, but I've missed you!"

"I've missed you too!" I hugged her back. I pulled away and looked at al of the boys in silence.

"What's wrong babe?" Harry asked and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"Um..." I started. "I have something I'd like to tell everyone."

"Say it princess!" Niall said while taking Lauren's hand.

"Let's go sit down." The nodded and followed me into the living room.

"Well." I started as all the boys found seats. "I um have this thing."

"Sweetie, just tell us. We are all your family and are here for you. We are your brothers too. Just tell us." Liam reassured me.

"I have stage four brain cancer." I said and threw myself into Zayn who jolted back at the sudden change in movement.

It was silent for quite a while as everyone took the information in. I lifted my head from Zayn and looked around.

Lauren and Niall were crying into each other.

Liam was on the floor, back to the wall, head in his knees.

Harry and Louis were hanging on to each other for dear life. They couldn't sit up because they were crying so much so they had to lean onto each other for support.

"Roxi!" Harry was the first to come over and scoop me off my feet and into his arms.

I think he was crying more than me at this time. "I don't know what to say babe." He whispered to me.

"It's okay, you don't need to say anything." I ran fingers in his curls. "Just please put me down."

"Rox." Liam and Louis came up to me and gave me a big hug. "Baby girl, I don't know how to respond to this." Liam said into my hair as he hugged my tighter. "I just hope it goes away... If it can." I nodded and louis spoke next.

"You know, I can go fight this cancer for you." He put his fists up and started bouncing around like a two year old attempting to box for the first time. I just laughed at him.

I guess he never fails to live up to his name, the sass master, even if that was years ago.

The final people to confront me where Niall and Lauren.

I think I wanted to tell Lauren about my new life span.

After giving me their consent, the boys started to pack themselves up.

"Lauren, a word?" I asked and pulled her into an empty room.

"What Roxi?" She asked eyes filled with comfort.

"I'm going to tell you something and you can't breath a word to any of the boys not even Niall Zayn doesn't know yet." I spat out as quickly as I could, and as quietly as I could.

"Okay, okay tell me!" She urged.

"I have two months to live."

She practically dropped to the floor, I had to hold her up.

"Roxi! Two months! And Zayn doesn't know?!" She whisper-screamed at me.

I nodded my head, and her eyes filled with tears.

"I don't want to tell Zayn. I don't want him to worry. I trust you. Please don't tell ANYONE."

"I won't love." She hugged me tight. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you." Before I could answer, Niall called her name stating it was time to go.

Before she left the room I called after her.

"Look after my bad boy."
