The Mistletoe

Chapter 7

Zayn’s POV

In the morning I lay awake in my bed denying that Megan has cancer. How could she get cancer so fast, she was perfectly fine the last time I saw her. I get up to go to her room and she looks like she is sleeping. I go sit on her bed and she stirs but stays asleep. I look at her and just shake my head. She can’t have it, she just can’t, I think and she opens her eyes a little. “Zayn, what time is it? Are you Ok?” I nod my head and kiss her on the forehead. She smiles up at me and I stand up telling her “I’ll leave you so you can get ready for the day.”

“Zayn don’t leave. Let’s just cuddle and watch some TV, Please.” She pulls on my hand and I look at her for a bit then Lay down beside her. She lays her head on my chest and I pull her close to me. Her dad comes in the room to give her medicine and he leaves. We don’t say anything to each other for a while then she looks up at me and kisses me.

“What was that for?”

“Zayn I’m going to need you when I go to the hospital visits but how are you going to do that when you go to London?”

“Meg, we will figure something out but right now, I don’t want to talk about it.”

She gets a hurt look on her face but she doesn’t say anything and she stands up and goes in the bathroom. I run my hands through my hair and shake my head. I’m lost in my own thoughts before I notice her standing in front of me and I stand up. She wraps her arms around my neck and I pull her close to me. We stand like that for a while until Sary knocks on the door and ask “Want to go get ice cream? If you are up to it” She looks hopeful and Megan smiles at her. “Yeah that’ll be fun. Let me get dress first.”

We are sitting in the back of the ice cream store and she’s leaning into me as she eats her ice cream. The paparazzi tried to ask ton of questions but she hid her face into my shoulder and Sary grabs my arm. The door opens and we hear a group of guys talking.

“Niall!! I didn’t know you were coming, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Wanted to surprise you babe and I guess I did”

I didn’t know the guys were coming to visit us, it not the perfect timing either. I look over at Megan but she’s looking up at Liam and she gets up and hugs him. I hear her crying and I look out the window. My eyes start watering and I pinch my nose and don’t look at her.

“Wow Meg, what’s wrong?”

“Liam, I can’t tell you here or the other guys.”

Megan’s POV

We get back to the house and dad is in the living room watching TV. He looks up at the boys in surprise and they sit down on the couch. “Meg there was something you had to tell us.” Liam looks up at me and dad smiles sadly at me when I look at him. I sit beside Liam and hold his hand. Zayn sits on the other side or me and wraps his arms around my waist. “Boys sits down please.” They do what I ask them to and I look at Sary and she’s wrapped In Niall’s arms.

“Guys we were going to wait to tell yall this weekend but since yall are here we will tell yall now.”

“Oh my god, you are pregnant!”

“No I’m not. Guys I have leukemia. I found out last month.”

Liam tightens his grip on my hand and he doesn’t say anything for a while but then he stands up and storms out of the room. I look over at the rest of the guys and they all are looking at me. It’s quiet in the room for a while until I stand up to go check on Liam. “Babe just let him babe” Zayn grabs my hand but I shake it away and say “He’s my best friend so no” I walk into the hallway and call out his name but I don’t get no response so I go up to my room and he’s in there sitting on my bed looking at a picture of all of us we took the last time they were here.

“Megan you looked different when I saw you in the ice cream store but I thought you had the flu or something, not Leukemia. Meg it can’t be true. Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

“Liam… I couldn’t right away, me, my dad, and Sary were dealing with it in our own ways plus I couldn’t put this on yall because yall had stuff going on with your album. Liam?”

“Yeah babe?”

“What, what if I don’t live?”

He pulls me close to him and I start crying. “Babe please don’t think like that. You are going to get through this. We all will be here for you even if it means moving here to the States.”

Liam is the best friend any could ever have
