Before I Die

Chapter 1

"Lucy, hurry up! We need to be at the arena soon," my mom yelled.

"Okay, I'm coming as soon as I finish putting my makeup on!" I shouted back. When I finished, we got in the car and drove to the arena in Dallas, Texas where the concert was going to take place.

When we got there, I started to freak out and fan girl. My mom looked a little embarrassed because of my annoying actions, and lots of young girls there for the concert were staring at my bald, cancer self. I was used to it, so it didn't really affect me.

Since I could get pretty much anything I wanted for my wish, I got back stage passes to meet the five boys. My mom took me to where I was supposed to be backstage and went to the front row where our seats for the concert were. I was kind of glad she wouldn't be meeting them with me. She just didn't think it would be fun.

As I sat in my chair waiting for the boys to come in I started planning what I would say to them. I would probably forget it once I saw their beautiful faces, but I had to do something to pass the time.

"Hey! You must be Lucy," a familiar British accent said, snapping me out of my thoughts. Oh my gosh, Liam Payne was standing in front of me. The real Liam Payne. And the rest of the boys were next to him.

"Yeah, I'm Lucy," I said with a huge grin on my face.

"It's nice to meet you," Harry said with a wink. I was freaking out and fangirling on the inside because Harry Styles just winked at me.

I got pictures with each boy separately, and then one group photo. We talked about random stuff for a while, and it was amazing. It was just me, Paul, and the boys in the room.

"So, babe, what's your twitter?" Harry asked.

"Uhh, @LucyyStyles," I replied. He took his phone out and searched my name on twitter. He looked confused and held his phone out to me, showing me the profile he was on.

"There are two y's in 'Lucy'," I said. He made an 'o' shape with his mouth and found the twitter he was looking for. He followed me and the rest of the boys did the same.

I was so excited, all I could think about was how I could put "5/5" in my bio and make all those super pretty girls with 1/5 jealous.

After my time with them was up and they had to go to soundcheck, all five boys gave me hugs and said goodbye. As I was walking out, Harry grabbed my arm and whispered something in my ear.

"You're beautiful, Lucy. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently. I hope to see you again someday, like maybe Dallas again next year or something," I nodded, but knew I probably wouldn't be alive next summer. "I'll DM you a lot, so make sure to get on twitter all the time and check for messages from me!" he added with a wink. Wow, Harry Styles winked at me twice in one day. He gave me one last hug and left the room.

When I got to where my mom was sitting and waiting for sound check to start, I was pretty much bawling.

"Lucy! What's wrong?" she asked with a worried expression. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Nothing's wrong! These are happy tears, mother. I just met One Direction and Harry winked at me twice and they all followed my twitters and Harry said he was gonna DM me a lot and-"

"Lucy," my mom interrupted and laughed at my enthusiasm.

"Sorry for rambling, but today is just the best day of my entire freaking life that's almost over," I apologized. Well, kind of apologized.

"Don't say that. You're going to live as long most people do, sweetie," she reassured. My family and friends had gotten used to my negative attitude, so hearing me say this kind of thing was normal for my mom. It still mad her sad to hear that from me, but honestly everyone knew that it was the truth.

"HELLO SEXY HUMAN BEINGS!" Niall's voice boomed into the microphone. Soundcheck was starting! I waved at the stage and Louis and Harry both waved back.

I enjoyed sound check very much. I couldn't stop thinking about how amazing the concert would be.
