The Bucket List Chapter 11:

Media’s POV:

Harry and I decided to go out, to be honest, I am glad I told him that I have cancer, but I don’t want us to be together. I can’t hurt him. I can’t. The entire car ride I was contemplating myself whether I should take the risk or not.

“So where are we going?”

“We are meeting the boys.”

“Yeah! I get to meet One Direction. It’s my dream come true.” I said sarcastically. He laughed.

“Of course it is. I am like a god” I just laughed.

“Sure.” The rest of the car ride was silent. But, I enjoyed it. It was a peaceful silence that I rarely had, when I had silence it was me and my mom waiting for news about my test results.

“We are here.” I looked out the window. It was a huge house that could fit like 5 families.

“You live here?”

“Yeah with the boys and their girlfriends. They are actually all here.”

“I am nervous.”

“Don’t be, I will be right next to you.”

“Okay let’s go.”

I opened the passenger door and slowly got out. Harry was waiting for me smiling. He took my hand and led me to the front door. He opened it with a key under the mat and we stepped inside. It was so nice, nicer than my house. I was in awee.

“HARRYY!” I heard people yelling. It hurt my ears. I covered my ears and saw Harry chuckling. I smiled.

I see 4 guys running towards us and picked up Harry they were all hugging him. I was just awkwardly standing there. I took ym hands off my ears.

“Lads, this is Media. Media this is Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louis.” I smiled and waved. I am glad I had a beanie on.

“It’s nice to meet you love.”

“Likewise.”

“I am starving.” I think Niall said. I giggled.

“If you like you can take the beanie off, it’s kind of hot in here.” I stiffened. Harry noticed.

“Uhm, that’s alright.” They nodded and ran off like little kids.

“They like you.”

“How can you tell?”

“What’s not to like?”

We followed where the boys went and I saw them eating, playing videogames, or snuggling with girls.

“Danielle, Perrie, Eleanor, and Carter. This is –“

“Media!” “Carter!” I ran and hugged her. I was breathing heavily since I never exercised.

“How are you?”

“Great actually.” She smiled. Harry gave us a confused look.

“Carter is my best friend, she stood by me when some people left me.” He smiled and nodded.

“Hi I am Eleanor and this is Danielle and Perrie.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

“Hey let’s go swimming.” I gave a sly look to Harry. Everyone else went to change.

“Do you want to go in?”

“No I don’t want them to see me without hair. How weird.” He bear hugged me, the very top of my head barely reached his shoulder.

“Okay. Then I will stay out with you.” I shook my head.

“No go. I need to work on my tan because, I am pale as snow.” Harry chuckled. He ran to go get changed and I turned to see everyone already in the pool. I stepped outside to feel the radiant heat reach me. I was already sweating. I saw Harry jump in. They were all laughing and splashing each other. I really want to do that. But, I can’t. 1. I don’t want them to see me without hair. 2. I can’t swim. I was sitting in the shade watching them, but I didn’t see Louis. Where was he? I felt someone picking me up and before I knew it was in the pool. I was freaking out. What do I do? I felt someone else’s arms taking me up. Once I reached the top. I started coughing like crazy. I was suddenly cold. Harry set me down on the chair, everyone surrounded me. Everyone staring at me but not Harry and Carter. Shit my beanie. I felt my eyes tearing up, I got up and ran away. I didn’t know where I was going, but this house was so big, image the backyard. I found a bunch and sat and cried. I was probably being a baby, but I don’t like when people stare, it makes me insecure. I have always been.

“I come here a lot to think.” I looked up to see Liam.

“How did you find me?”

“I don’t know. I just assumed you will find this place.” I smiled.

“Tell me. You can trust me. We are all your friends.” I heard everyone else coming.

“Tells us Media. We didn’t mean to offended you in any way.” I took a deep breath. I nodded. “Okay.”
