Over You (Sequel to All the Little Things)

Chapter 19

Collins P.O.V.

The entire concert that night I was pacing the stage. I was anxious to confront Hannah. 

"You seemed kind of 'out of it' on stage tonight, is everything okay?" Louis asked as I walked backstage.

I reassured Louis that I was fine, then marched down the corridors of the backstage to find Hannah. I knew Hannah and Melissa had to be somewhere backstage. As I swung every door open that was backstage I received strange looks from people, especially when I barged into numerous dressing rooms. 

Finally, I heard Hannah's voice coming from a supply closet, and I heard what sounded like whimpering? (Why do all girls cry in supply closets?) My adrenaline was pumping, and out of impulse I turned the door knob and slung the door open. Thankfully it wasn't locked or my dramatic entrance wouldn't have been pulled off the way it had. 

Hannah was crouched down beneath the cleaning supply shelf. As I shut the door behind me Hannah looked up to see who had entered. Hannah looked so broken, her Chanel mascara was smeared all down her cheeks and her eyes where puffy. 

All of a sudden I felt the urge to hug Hannah, and surprisingly my feet took control of me and led me to her. 

"Hannah, would you tell me what's wrong?" I asked; sitting down next to her. 

"I'm so sorry Collins!" Hannah cried, enveloping me into another bear hug, this time just holding on. "I knew you and Liam were meant to be together from the beginning Collins, it's inevitable." 

"What is going on with you?" I pressed, slightly worried at why she would break down because of this.

"The way you guys look at each other, I know that is something that I'll never have with anyone," Hannah continued, avoiding my question.

"Hannah, you're making me worry why are you crying about this? You know you are beautiful."

Hannah suddenly wen't into hysteric's, not crying now, but laughing. 

"You don't know Collins," Hannah spat out, after her laughing had died down.

"Well, I've been asking you what's wrong for the last ten minutes-," I started ranting out in a forceful anger, but Hannah interrupted me with a sentence I would never wan't to re-hear.

"Collins, I have Leukemia," Hannah began crying again. "Yesterday, when Melissa and I wen't  "out" I was going to the doctor to some tests ran."

At  that moment, my heart fell into the pit of my stomach. 

"I've known for about a week now, and the day I found out the first thing I thought about was you," Hannah continued. "How I had made your life, well miserable and Liam's too." 

"Melissa had to come and babysit me for a couple of days, and now that I know that the doctor's suspensions are true, I'm going home Collins," Hannah faintly smiled, and waited for me to respond.

How was I suppose to respond to this?

So, I did what my heart told me I should do...

Apologize.

 "I'm so sorry for literally everything Hannah."

Tears broke in the brim of both Hannah and I's eyes as we both hugged each other tightly, and well cried. 

"I don't know if I'll defeat my Leukemia Collins, but promise me one thing," Hannah began, and broke apart from our hug. "Liam is a good person, and it would break him if he found out about this. Just promise me that he never finds out about my Leukemia."

"What!? What are you going to tell all of them Hannah?" I questioned.

"That I miss home." Hannah stated bluntly. "Liam still might be mad at me for what I did to you, but I honestly believe I don't deserve his forgiveness or your's and I'm just lucky I got your's."

For what seemed like hours, Hannah and I stayed in that supply closet and hugged, cried, and occasionally laughed. 

We just treasured All the Little Things that life gives us at this moment in this supply closet, because maybe the next moment what you treasure so much could be gone when you least expect it...
