My Brother's Bandmate

Eleven

"Harry has what?", I practically shout.

"Gehna, Harry has cancer in his larynx. He can't sing as that will be, putting pressure on his vocal box.", she explains.

The news is so shocking that I sink down to the floor. Fizza rushes to my side.

"How long has he had it?", I croak weakly.

"Five months, and when we found out it was the last stage.", she says.

"Wait how did you find out?", there are so many questions in my head right now.

"I was obviously not there, so I don't know.You'll have to ask Harry and the others that. The only thing I can tell you is that they came to America where I settled after studying in London.", she replies.

"So you didn't settle in London like you told me.." She nods.

"Hhmmm so why are you telling me this?", I ask my brows furrowed.

"Because I think it's time.. The boys didn't want to tell you as it would spoil your trip and also we know about your crush on him. The second reason is that I am his doctor not his girlfriend, it was just an excuse. So I didn't cheat on Harry.", she says.

"But you did help Brad to cheat on me.", I spit.

"No, That night Brad told me he broke up with you, later I found out he was drunk.", she says her head down in shame.

OHH. 

" Fizza it's okay. It's not your fault, I'm sorry Brad did that, but he has had a crush on you and maybe he couldn't control himself.", I sympathize.

"Yeah", she whispers.

"Now, please excuse me. I have some unfinished business with my bro.", I mutter and get out of the room.

*********************************

When I demand Zayn an explanation, he looks at me as if he has seen a ghost.

He denies at first but when I tell him that Fizza told me everything he becomes furious.

" Fizza told you everything?", he seethes.

I sigh.

"Zayn calm down. This is not the time to get angry, it's the time to finally tell me the truth.", I try to calm him down.

He looks at my expression and his face softens. He seems to recognize the hurt and depressed expression on my face.

"I am sorry, I should have told you before but I did this for your safety.", he says softly.

Now I am angry.

"What safety Zayn,huh? You tell me if Perrie, God forbid had a problem and everyone knew except you, and you learn that later on when she doesn't even have that much time left, how would you feel?", I demand.

"I am sorry okay? I thought you would go into depression and all the guys even Harry agreed on not telling you.", he looks frustrated.

"How did this happen?", I ask.

"I'll tell you.", he says gesturing me to sit down on the bed.

**********************************

Zayn told me everything.

They were on their European leg tour. Harry had been coughing but they thought that it was normal fever and cough and cold.

So they ignored it. All of them. How immature.

The coughing turned worse and they finally, praise the lord, consulted the doctor in Austria, Vienna.

The doctor was a fool and did not diagnose any signs of cancer and instead gave him some shitty medicine.
