The Mistletoe

Chapter 16

Liam’s POV

At the end of the week we are getting in the car and Zayn gently places Megan beside me. I smile at her and she looks better than she did at the beginning of the week. She seems quieter since she got cancer and she has lost weight. I hold her hand and she leans her head on my shoulder. We all are quiet on the way back to her house and Zayn keeps his head down. There’s something going with Louis because he’s quieter and not his normal self. Megan soon falls asleep and Zayn watches her sleep. “The doctor said that she has to stay in the bed for a couple more days and that she needs to eat plus take her medicine” Sary says and she looks over at Megan. “Baby girl she will be OK.” Her dad looks at the twins then looks back at the road and Sary holds her dad’s hand.

We get to the house and Zayn carries Megan to her room because she’s still asleep. We all go our separate ways and I go lay on the bed I’m sleeping on. Sary always wears a hat and I wish she didn’t because she looks beautiful with or without them. I hear a knock on my door and Sary steps through. She smiles at me and I sit up in a sitting position. “Liam I have to talk to, it’s been on my chest lately and I could talk to Niall but you are Megan’s best friend. This whole experience with Megan being sick and all is so stressful and I feel like people pay more attention to her. Like they don’t ask how I’m holding up or what I think about this.”

“No don’t think like that. We both pay yall attention because yall mean a lot to us, yes she has cancer and we worry about her but we also worry about you. Niall didn’t want to leave you when we had to go back to London because he was worried about you because you haven’t talked much about this whole situation. Sary how are you holding up?”

“Not so good Liam. I hate that my twin sister has cancer and at any moment she could be snatch away from me. I miss the good times we had and the laughs we shared. Now when we talk, we worry about her dying and I just wish she could get better. I don’t think my dad could handle it if my sister died because we lost our mom to cancer.”

She starts crying and I hold her until she stops crying. She’s quiet for a long time and I’m quiet too, both of us lost in our own thoughts. There’s a knock on the door that gets us out of thoughts and Sary wipes her eyes. “Come in!” The door opens and Niall comes and he smiles when he sees Sary. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you babe. Want to go get something to eat? I’m hungry.” Sary smiles at him and nods her head. “See you later Liam.” They both say when they leave the room and I get up to go check on Megan.

Megan’s Dad POV

Megan is a tough girl and she will make it through. I watch her sleep and remember the time when she was a little girl and she broke her arm riding her dirt bike she had at the time. She didn’t cry one bit even when they were putting on the cast. “Daddy, what time is it?” I look down at her from the memory and smiles at her. “Hey sweetie. It’s lunch time. How did you sleep?” She shakes her head and sits up. “Dad I keep having these bad dreams and I wish they would stop. I think it’s the new medicine they gave me.”

She fixes the hat she always wears and I look at her and think how much her and Sary look so much their mother. She glances up at me and there’s sadness in her eyes and she gives me a hug. “Dad I’m going to make it through this. I love you” She whispers in my ear and I hug her tight. I get up and ask her If she want’s any lunch and she does so I go make her some. Zayn, Louis, and Harry are all sitting on the couch when I go in there and I ask “Do yall want anything to eat? I’m making Megan something.” They all nod their heads and I head towards the kitchen.

After I made Megan and the boys something to eat, I go to my office, and look at all of Megan’s Hospital bills. I shake my head and push them aside for right now. There’s a picture of the girls, me, and their mom at our lake house sitting on my desk and I smile to myself. Megan come into my office and she seats down in the chair where her mother use to seat in. She looks at the picture on my desk and she smiles at it. “Where’s Sary?”

“Her and Niall went to go get something to eat because he was hungry” She laughs and it’s good to hear her laugh. “Daddy I love you” I get up and kiss her on the forehead and she gives me a hug. “I love you to sweet girl”
