The Mistletoe

Chapter 6

A few Months later

Zayn’s POV

I’m on the plane heading toward the states to see Megan during her Spring Break and I can’t wait to get there. When I step out of the plane, fans recognize me but I keep my head down. When I get outside, I hear somebody say my name and I look up and it’s Megan. I pull her in my arms and give her a long kiss. She kisses me back and when I pull back I notice that she doesn’t look to good.

“Babe what’s wrong? Are you sick?

“Zayn I will tell you later, right now is not the best time because you just got here. We better get going because Dad has to go to a meeting.” We get in his car and her dad drives us home. When we get out he calls her back to the car and they talk for a while then she comes back to me. She smiles at me and we go inside Sary is sitting on the couch and when she sees me, she gets up and gives me a hug. Megan sits down on the couch and watches the TV. I sit down beside her and push a piece of her hair behind her ear. I kiss her and she pulls me close to her.

“Zayn I have to tell you something, it’s not good news. I should have told you earlier but I wanted to tell you in person.”

“Babe you’re scaring me, what’s not good news?”

“Zayn I have leukemia. We found out last month.” My heart stops for a minute and I’m quiet for a long time and she looks down at her hands. I think it through and I pull her close to me. She starts crying and Sary walks in with a knowing look on her face. “She told you.” I nod my head and she leaves the room to give us some privacy.

“Zayn I don’t want to tell the guys right now! Please let’s just what till the weekend. Let’s have a good week and have fun.”

“Whatever Meg, but we will tell them this weekend.”

“Thank you Zayn. I love you.”

“I love you to Megan.”

I don’t know how the boys are going to deal with this especially Liam, he’s closer to Megan than the rest of the guys. She walks in front of me as we walks downstairs to eat dinner with Sary and her dad and they act like nothing is wrong with Megan. She barely eats dinner and her dad keeps looking at her. After dinner, goes out some friends while Megan and I watch TV with her dad.

Megan’s POV

I look up at Zayn while watching TV and he has a blank look on his face and I want to know what he is thinking. I look over at my dad and he looks at me and he smiles. I smile back at him then I lose my smile and I hold back my tears. Zayn hugs me tighter to him and I look up at him but he’s watching the TV. I get up to go to bed a couple minutes later and when I’m in the bed I look out my bedroom. I hear the door open and smell my dad’s cologne, I jump into his arms when he sits on the bed and start crying.

“Dad I wish she was here. I miss her so much!”

“I know sweetie, I do too.”

“Daddy why? Why me? It’s not fair!”
