Ch 16:

:LANEYS POV:

Harry's eyes scan me up and down. No emotion. I sit there, frozen and speechless.

"Bloody hell! Laney, you scared me to death!" Harry finally bursts out, swallowing me in a hug. Relieved, I sigh and wrap my arms around his neck. I try to hold back tears, but when realization hits you that you have parents that don't care about you anymore, and you're dying from cancer, you cry, ok?

"I'm so sorry, love. I know this is hard to come back to."

"I'm fine... Where's the others?" I ask, changing the subject.

Before I can answer, 4 boys casually enter the room.

"Guys?!" I exclaim, hoping they would get the memo that I am ok now.

"LANEY!!!!!!"

"YOU CAN REMEMEBER!?!?!?!"

"HOW DO YOU FEEL?!?!?

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!?!"

They all blurt out, running up to me.

"Yes, yes, I am fine!" I reply, forcing a half smile.

"Glad you're alright, love." Niall says, kissing me on the cheek. The others follow behind Niall in kissing me on the cheek and hugging me.

I feel a warm and fuzzy feeling when I'm with them. How lucky I am to have these boys in my life.

That night, we pack up to head to London.

Harry and I take our seats on the plane, and take out our phones- as always- before we have to put them away.

"Harry, I don't have a passport with me. How did you get me on this plane?" I question.

Harry smirks and then says, "Magic."

I notice my phone has a text message...... From my mother? What in the hell could she want?

From Mom:

You're going to London I hear... We are always here for you, ok? It's never too late to come home. Love you -mom

I honestly don't know how to respond. I sigh, let my phone fall into my lap, and hold my head in my hands.

"Laney..." Harry says, obviously unsure of what has happened. I don't respond, but hand him my phone. I look down at the floor as he reads the message. Then, his arm draws me into his side. "Love, I was going to tell you this later, but now seems like an appropriate time... I talked to your mom last night. She thinks that eventually you will come home if you get tired of being with us, that fame might be too much for you. But you need to decide because there's not much time left." Harry explains.

"Harry, I don't want to leave you. Besides, I'd rather go like this." I say, trying to be a little positive.

"You can stay with me, but promise that you won't go without speaking to your parents again. Deal?"

"Deal."

I wake up, wrapped up in a fluffy duvet. I look around. This is definitely Harry's apartment, or flat, I should say. I hear five different voices on the other side of the door. I walk over and put my ear up to the door.

"Well, did you guys sleep well?"

"Yeah."

"I slept alright."

"I didn't sleep well."

"I slept well."

Then a phone rings, and Harry's voice answers it.

:HARRYS POV:

"Hello?" I answer my phone.

"Hi, Harry. It's Laney's mom again... Has she made a decision?"

"She wants to stay, but I told her she needed to speak to you guys again."

"Oh. Well, alright. May I speak with her?"

"She's sleeping." I reply, trying to save Laney from having to talk to her mother.

I hear Mrs. Jones sigh. "Wake her up," she then demands.

Not wanting to get on her bad side, I reply, "Yes ma'am."

:LANEYS POV:

Damn it! Harry's coming.

I run over and lounge myself onto the bed. The door creaks open.

"Laney, someone is on the phone for you. Sorry to wake you." Harry whispers, sitting down on the bed. I motion for him to hand me the phone.

"Hello?" I answer, unsure of who it is.

"Laney, it's your mother." My heart sinks. "Sweetie, we were not good parents to just leave you. We miss you. Please come home." Mom pleads.

"Mom, you really just thought I was going to show up at your doorstep again? I am dying, ok? You don't have time for me- I get that. But I am in love with Harry, and he can protect me. I've never been in love, and I would like to enjoy it. If I go home, I won't be happy. And I'm running out of time, so I'm not wasting my life on anything but happiness." I explain, tears already trailing down my cheeks. This is not what I wanted to wake up to.

"Hun, first off, we want you to be happy, and you can be- with us. Second off, you don't know what love is. You don't know a thing about love. Your father and I know love. And you have not experienced it." She says. This enrages me.

"I don't know what love is?! You don't look at dad the same way I look at Harry. You don't laugh, you don't touch, you don't know a thing about love. Don't even compare what me and Harry have to anything. Because it is love!" I yell through the phone, trying to keep myself together.

There is a silence. Harry, who has been sitting on the bed next to me, puts his hand on my thigh. I lean against him.

"Well. You will see. Trust me- you will come home. One way or another." Mom finally says. At that, I hang up. I hand Harry his phone, and just sit there, staring at the wall.

"What are you thinking? I wanna know." Harry asks.

"I don't know exactly... It's just- I don't want to die. I don't want to leave you. What are you even going to do? Move on?"

"I don't like to think about it. I don't want you to go either, but there's nothing we can do. When your gone, I don't know what I will do. But it will take me a lifetime to move on. And maybe not even then."

Harry's curls fall as his head drops at the thought.

Why do I have to go..
