Don't let me go

Chapter 3

"Okay, So how are you feeling Alice?" the doctor say with concern is his voice

"I'm fine, just as I always am" I say with a light sigh

He clear his throat

"Well, erm.. we got some news for you" he says

My heart skipped a beat, had the treatments finally worked? Had I beat the cancer? Or maybe It wasn't going to be good news. Millions of thoughts like that went through my mind in just the few seconds before he started talking again, my heart was racing

"Alice.. there is never an easy way to say this.." he says, his eyes were blank, like he was about to cry

I felt my heart drop, those words, eight words that could mean so much that could change your life

"Alice, you body has stopped to respond to the treatments" He says downhearted

Everything just blacked out. No it couldn't be true, I couldn't die, I was 17th I had my hole life a head of me

"How long?" I barely whisper with tears running down my checks

"We can't say yet, It's to soon to know" he says sadly

I got out of my chair and run out the door. I heard my mum scream after me but I ignored it. I just needed to get away.

I run out through the exit and just ran, I didn't know where I was going I just knew I couldn't be here right now. The tears that was streaming down from my eyes made my vision a bit blurry.

I must have running for about fifteen minutes when I run into someone

"You again, It's like someone is trying to bring us together"

I looked up with teary eyes and faced a familiar blond boy. Niall.

"Hey are you okay?" he says with concern when he notice my tears

"Never been better" I say and then run away from him

"Hey where are you going?" he shouted after me

                                                                                        ***

Niall's POV: Something was obviously wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have looked so upset. I wonder what it was.

                                                                                        ***

Alice's POV: I ended up running to Mandy, with bloodshot and puffy eyes I knock on the door.

Thankfully Mandy is the one to open the door

"Alice.. Alice whats wrong?" she says

I start to cry again and she embrace me in a tight hug

"Whats wrong bestie" she says

"Mandy.. I've.. I've stopped responding to the treatments"  I barely whisper

She doesn't say anything, she doesn't let go of me but no words came out of her mouth

"Please say something" I whisper

                                                                                ***

Mandy's POV: I didn't know what to say. I was going to loose my best-friend, she was going to die and I didn't really have anything to say

"I love you Alice, you will always be my best friend! Best friends for ever" I whisper with tears streaming down from my cheeks

Finally we let go of our holds of eachother

"Do you wanna come in?" I say

She nods

"Lets get our thoughts on other things, I have ice cream and we can talk about boys and stuff" I say

A little smile spread a cross her lips for a while

"sounds good" she says

                                                                                       ***

Alice's POV: We were sitting on Mandy's bed with a Ben&Jerry each

"Why didn't you wanna go out with Niall" she blurs out

The sudden question shocked me, I knew she would ask me sooner or later with the thought that she was a big fan but I didn't expect her to ask me in that moment. The question made me uncomfortable in a way I knew why, but you know he was cute and attractive and he seemed like a really nice guy.

"I don't really know him" I say shrugging my shoulders

But that wasn't the hole truth. If it weren't for the cancer I might have considered it but I wasn't going to drag a person through that.

"But don't you wanna fall in love before you, you know.." She says barely whispering the last few words

I knew exactly what she ment

"Of corse but you don't search for love, you let it find you" I say

"Niall kind of found you, or not exactly but you know.. Maybe it's a sign" she says

"Yeh I don't know if I believe in that hole 'sign' thing" I say

"Come on, you bumped in to each other twice, that gotta mean something right?" she says a bit eagerly

"It's probably just a coincidence" I say 

"I'm not so sure it's just a coincidence" She says thoughtfully
