(DON'T BE A SILENT READER :C)

Niall is still running and I am running after him, I am tired and I want to stop, and then the nurse that he was talking before, grabs his arm and I run to them.

“Are you ok sir? You went to the wrong place! Come with me I will show you where it is!” She grabs my hand and starts walking, I look to him to see if he wants to go, and what I see scares me.

Niall is in another world, lost in deep thought, shaking and sweating. I really can’t understand what happened, but I will make him explain me.

“Go, I will be there in a few minutes” He says, he is acting so weird, I really can’t understand him, I hope he is okay though.

I follow the nurse, her name is Elizabeth but she wants me to call her Eliza. I am looking to the ground and Niall is still in my thoughts when I look up I see a lot of kids each one in an hospital bed looking to me with hope in their eyes probably for seeing someone that it’s not their family or the nurses.

These kids have cancer, some of them look so hurt like if they moved a finger it will hurt, I feel so sorry for them but I don’t know what to do, and Eliza seems to notice it.

“Don’t be nervous, just go there and talk with them, they will be happy to see someone, if they don’t open to you, don’t give up on them, those are the ones who need more help” She says looking to the kids with pity but at the same time adoration, she really likes them “Poor kids they don’t deserve this, they are so strong and kind to everyone that works here” She is fighting the tears, I can feel that.

“I will do my best, I promise” She looks to me with a small smile on her lips and then she leaves.

I walk reluctantly in the kids direction. I am really nervous. I sit at the end of a bed that belongs to a girl with green eyes, she is probably around 13 years old.

“Hey love” I say timidly and she smiles, she sits on the bed and starts playing with my hair, it feels good.

“I love your hair, I loved mine too, I was ginger! But now I am bald because of the chemo” This breaks my heart and I feel like crying “I used to braid my hair all the time, to cover the parts where I was starting to get bald. Can I braid yours?” I nod because I don’t trust my voice right now.

“What’s your name?” She asks five minutes later, still braiding my blond hair.

“M-Melanie, and yours?” I really want to talk to her because I am sure she is always here with younger kids, I think she is the oldest.

“Alana, is really nice to talk to someone besides the nurses and my family.” She finishes braiding my hair “Go see in the mirror, I think it’s really pretty what do you think?”

I get up from her bed and I see a lot of girls looking to my hair in awwe, it must look really good. I look at myself disgusting with my body and my fat, but when I look to my hair it’s really amazing, it seems like it was a professional that done it, not a 13 years old girl.

“Wow, it is really amazing, Alana. You are really talented!” she smiles proud of herself, and she have all the right to do it.

“C-can I-I see i-it?” A little girls ask me, she is so small that’s why I had to bend in one knee to be on the same level as her.

“It is weally pweatty , I wish I had hair too” Once again my heart breaks and a tear falls down my cheek but she wipes it away. “Don’t cwy, I am here since I made 1 year, and I am four years now, I am just tiwed of fighting” she says with a sad smile.

“Don’t say that princess” you’re beautiful and you’re so strong, you can’t give up now!” I try to explain her but I know it’s hard, If I was her I would give up too! “Please keep fighting, you are so young, you have so much to live!” She hugs me and Alana joins us.

“Promise that both of you will keep fighting!” I tell them and we do the pinky promise. 

“We are best friends, like in the stories! I am the pink fairy, Alana is the green one and you are the blue one” She almost screams with joy and I chuckle, I am feeling a bit happy and I bet they are too! Alana looks so happy to see the little girl laughing and screaming, so I squeeze her hand and she squeezes back.

“How are you?” Eliza asks us and I can say she is happy to see the girls smiling.

“Everything’s good! Ermm... Eliza?” I have an idea in my mind, but I have to talk to Eliza first.

“Oh… your friend? He went home, I am sorry.” I can see pity in her eyes. I completely forgot about Niall, I hope he is okay! Why did he leave me? I groan frustrated and the girls look to me worried. My phone buzzes.

“I am sososo sorry Mel, I just couldn’t take it anymore, I am home now! Sorry for ruin the surprise! Before you go home can you come to mine? I will text you the address.” I reply to him saying 'sure'.

“Actually Eliza I was going to ask other thing.” She seems ashamed and confused but she nods tell me to keep going “I want to ask you if I could pick this two beautiful girls tomorrow? To spend the day with me, I know volunteers can make that, so I want to be a volunteer!”

“Oh ok that’s really good! But this have rules the girls and you have to take a bracelet with GPS so we can know where you are, they have to be here at 6 pm and we have to talk to their family first, I am going to make a few calls!” She says smiling and leaves us. The girls are smiling like crazy and asking what are we going to do, I says it’s a surprise.

**

“Girls your family said it’s okay, so can you pick them tomorrow at 10am? Oh and you can't forget to give them their medicine!" I nod and the girls smile like crazy.

“sure! I have to go now girls, see you tomorrow!” I hug them and they hug me back I say goodbye to Eliza and the other kids.I enter in my car and drive to Niall’s house. 

I knock on his door an when he opens and I gasp at his appearance, dark bags under his bloodshot eyes. He seems weak and fragile.

“Please don’t ask what happened just take care of me!” My heart almost jumps from my mouth when I see him starting to cry again I hug him immediately and he cries harder in my shoulder.

I spend the rest of the night making tea, hugging him and comforting him, we barely speak, but it’s a comfortable silence.

“Thank you.” He says, his voice is raspy from all the crying. I really really really want to know what happened but I don’t want to push him. 

“Whenever you need.” I hug him and kiss his cheek before we both fall asleep.
