The three boys come to sit down next to the stretcher. Louis is chatting with Sarah and Liam and Niall are talking to me.

"So you liked the new album?" Liam asked. To be honest I loved it. Me and Daniel listened to it before he left and I now have listened to it about 10 times more since then.

"Yeah me and my friend listened to it before you guys came here. I have played it at least 10 times already."

"Wow you must really like it." Niall laughs.

"How can I not." I laugh along with him.

"So is this your first time meeting us?"
Louis asks as he comes over and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Yeah I had no idea any of this was gonna happen." I say nervously.

"We saw your performance last night. It was amazing." Louis tells me.

"Yeah and that other boy is he your boyfriend?" Niall asked. I burst into laughter. So many people, especially the fans, shipped me and Daniel. We kept telling them that we are just friends but that didn't seem to stop them.

"I'm assuming thats a no?" Say Liam smiling.

"Yeah me and him are just friends. Best friends actually. We have known each other since we were seven." I tell him.

"Good I was hoping you were single." Niall states. I can't stop smiling when I'm around these three guys ugh give me a break.

"So ugh where's Harry? I was hoping he would be here?" I ask the boys. The just laugh.

"What?" I'm so confused.

"He is at Cara Delevine's wedding." says Louis.

"But he said he wanted to stop by later today if you don't mind." Liam adds.

"No that's fine."

The rest of there visit goes by in a blur. They sing a couple songs for me, we all take pictures and then they are on there way to the their next show which is tonight. We say our goodbyes and that was the last I saw of them.

"So they are planning on having your surgery tomorrow." My mom says as she works on her computer. She has been working all day

Sarah occupies me for a couple hours before Harry arrives. I look like complete crap so I persuade Sarah to do my make up and hair. She puts foundation on me which helps a lot it makes me look less tired. Then she does my eyeshadow. The colors she uses brings out my blue eyes. Once she finishes my make up she curls my hair. She hands me a mirror and I can't believe I am looking at myself. I look like a different person. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

"Do you like it Leah?" Sarah asks me.

"I think I do. I can't even recognize my self is that a bad thing?"

"No Leah, it's a good thing. You look hot girl." She compliments. I suddenly feel more confident.

It's 4:45 and Harry is supposed to be here at 5:00. I guess I could say I am nervous. I have waited for this moment since I was 14. I am anxious to meet him. Right as I finish my thought Harry  walks through the door. With a strange expression. His eyes don't leave mine as he comes to sit next to me.

"Hello love." Harry says as he pulls me in for a hug. He smells like expensive cologne. It feels great to finally touch him. If only he knew how long I have waited to be held in his arms.

Harrys POV

I walk into the hospital soaking wet from the downpour outside. I don't want to be here. The only reason I came was because management paid me to come. If I wasn't here I could be at my friends party in LA. As I open the door I make eye contact with a pretty brown haired girl. She is laying in the hospital bed. I thought it was gonna be another obsessed fan. They usually will cry or faint. But she just smiles. She looks about my age. The boys told me she won American idol last night. I walk over to her and give her a hug.

"What's your name babe?" I say as I sit down. What is wrong with me why did I just call her babe.

"My names Leah." She smiles again. I can't help but smile back.

"Nice to meet you Leah, I'm Harry." Shit she probably already knows that. I'm such a dumbass why did I say that. 

"Yeah. I know your name." She giggles.

"So where were you earlier?" The girl asks. Gosh why is she so nosy. It's none of her business.

"Uh, I was at a wedding for my friend." I tell her. My friend Cara got married. Unfortunately Kendall was there. She thinks we are friends because we've fucked a couple times.

"Ooh fun I guess." She sounds upset.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Everything is fine cause you are here." She smiles, which sends shivers down by body. Everything she does causes me to react in a weird way and I don't like it.

Leah's POV

"So the boys told me you won American idol last night." Harry speaks. Was it really last night? It feels like it has been days.

"Uh yeah I did win. I don't know what I'm gonna do though, because right now I am not in a position to start a record deal." I say. Now that I have said it out loud, I realize I don't have a chance at pursuing my career anymore.

"Why not?" He asks me.

"Ugh hello I have thyroid cancer. I can barley breath. The other day I felt like there was water in my lungs and I couldn't breath. I think it might be kinda hard to sing. Just a little." I say as I begin to cry. Harry just sits there not knowing what to do. Sarah comes over and holds me as I cry into her shoulder. I can hear her and Harry talking.

"I think I got this." I think Harry says. Sarah releases from the hug. I feel Someone's arms wrap around my waist from behind me. Its Harry. He rests his head on my shoulder as I cry. I turn around so I can see his face. Still crying, I put my arms around him. He just holds me, comforts me.

"You will be okay. It will be alright. You just have to put up a good fight and I'm sure you will love." He whispers in my ear so only I can hear him.

"But what if I lose. What if I can't fight cause I don't have any strength left in me?" I say.

"Then find something to fight for. Something that motivates you to stay strong." He says as he kisses my forehead. I almost forgot this is Harry Styles I'm talking to. If I was in normal condition I would be freaking out. But right now I'm not normal. I may not be strong but I found my strength. It's Harry. Even though I feel like we just met, I've watched him grow for the last 8 years. If he didn't show up today I don't know what I would of done.
