The Right Direction (One Direction FanFic)

Chapter Two

"Ms. Annabell, you have CLL, or Chronic Lymphocyic Leukemia," the doctor said with a solem face.

My mother bursted into tears, but I just looked down. I turned around to see my mother start to get wobbly.

"Mom, sit." I said assisting her to a chair. The doctor followed us over there and sat beside my mother with me on the other side.

"It's not bad yet, we caught it just in time. You are in Binet Stage A. Which means, you currently only have 1 enlarged Lymphoid Tissue, your Lymph Nodes," The doctor explained usuing her hands to talk. And pointed to my lymph nodes when she got to it.

"Is there a way to cure it?" My mom asked now recomposing herself. Although I don't blame her, if I were her, I'd have tears rolling down my legs.

"Yes, Rituximab. That is an injection in the vein once a week, once a month, or even every couple months. It just depends on the stage of CLL. Side effects are usually mild, but include: chills, fever, nausea, rashes, fatigue, and headaches. Rarely, severe side effects only occur with infection and they include: trouble breathing and low blood pressure. I fully recommend this treatment, I believe it would be the best choice for Annabell considering her age. However, I would like to get her to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital as soon as possible. The sooner she is checked in, the faster we get to Rituximab," the doctor advised. I just nodded and then suddenly, reality sunk in.

I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I am only 19. I still have to go to Harvard. I still have to have kids. I still have to find my one true love.

All these things came rushing to my mind, when suddenly I heard my mother speak.

"Ok, I'll go get some stuff packed and we will go right now," she said nodding to the doctor," Annabell, Honey. Are you coming?" she asked half-way out the door.

"um, yeah, sorry," I said and quickly made my way over to her.

On the drive back to the house, it was quiet. Untill I broke the silence with one of my famous One Direction Quotes.

I jumped up and pointed at a bird and yelled, " KEVIN?"

I looked at my mom and she started laughing and I smiled, knowing I could still make her smile.

"You are crazy. You know that?" she asked, still laughing at my Louis Remark.

"No, Jimmy Protested!" I screamed again. "Yeah, mom. I know. I'm half- cracked," I said laughing at myself along with my mother.

When we got home she frantically ran to her room and started packing.

"What do I need?" I asked as I was making my way up the stairs.

"An outfit or two. If you need more I'll come and get it. Computer, Chargers, Ipod, Phone, Neccesidies," she said making me feel stupid.

I nodded and packed everything she said and some make-up. In case I went out or something. You never know.

"Come on Bell," Mom yelled from downstairs.

"I'm Coming," I yelled in response.

I picked up my belongs and walked down the stairs. Then carried them to the car and prepared myself for the journey ahead of me.

At Royal Manchester Children's Hospital In UK

~~~~~~~~^^^^vvvv^^^^~~~~~~~~

"Hello, welcome to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital In UK. What can I do for you today?" A middle aged tall, blonde asked. She seemed nice, but fake.

"Um, My daughter was just diagnosed with CLL, We would like to chech her in?" My mom said, which sounded more like a question.

"Ahh, yes. Annabell Riner. Your Doctor, Doctor Simmons, called to inform us. Are you planning on staying with Annabell?" the nurse lady, whose nametag read Ria, asked. My mom nodded furessly. I took her by the arm and told her to calm down, "Ok, Follow Ms. Reenah, (Rin-ae) and she will take you to your room." Ria continued.

We did as instructed and followed Reenah to the 5th floor to room 5. Well that should be easy to remeber.

"Ok, Annabell, may I ,call you Anna or Bell for short?" she asked. I nodded. She looked nice, and real. Unlike Ria who looked like a bad inpersonation of Barbie. She was Medium height, with long pretty Auburn pin staright hair. And was always smiling, "Great. Bell, since you are only in Stage A, you are not confined to your room and are free to roam. Be in bed by 11 and don't disturb the other paitents if asked to leave or not to disturb. Be respectful, I bef of you. Thanks For the intenivness See you in around 15 for your first treatment," She said bubbly, and waved as she walked out and closed the door.

Me and my mom looked at each other and started to unpack the bags. Once we did, It had been 15 minutes and sure enough, here came Reenah through the door. Pushing a tray infront of her.

"Ok, Bell. Can you sit her and place your arm here? Grab some music if you would like. Won't take but 10 minutes but some patients think if they listen to music, you don't feel anything," she said, pointing to a chair and showing me with her arm how to hold mine.

I nodded as I grabbed my IPhone 5 and Beats. I sat as I was told and turned on my music. 'One Way or Another by One Direction' Best people in the world. With The Take Me Home album on replay I didn't even notice Reenah sticking the needle in and holding it there for 10 minutes. Soon enough, she took it out and tapped my shoulder, telling me she was done.

"Hello, Annabell." My doctor said as she came through the door.

"Hey Doc," I said as I turned my music off.

"Good news, you will only need the treatment for 6 months total, bad news, you will have to stay here for that period of time," she said. Nodded and walked out. Quickly following her was my nurse, Reenah.

"I don't like her," my mom said as she pointed and scrunched her nose. I knew who she ment. We both adored Ree, it was Doc we didn't.
