Marilyn's POV
'Its been 2 years since he left for the X-Factor. 2 years since he sent me anything to keep in contact with me. Yet here i lay in my hospital bed, been here 2 years. He doesn't know his best friend got sick with bone cancer the day he left. But, why would he care for me, he is famous now.'
My latest journal entry leaves me in tears. He is suppose to be visiting Ireland for a few weeks, but i don't think he will visit me. He replaced me with better lads. Yet i have nobody.
"Do you still miss him?" Greg says. Ya his brother visits me everyday since even when his brother is here.
"Ya, he should be here today, well , Ireland go visit him he is your brother."
Silence fills the room. I like the silence it gives me time to dream and hope one day i will be better. We are barely making ends met nowadays.
"He misses you, wonders what happened to you"
"Well when you pick him up at the airport maybe bring him here Greg if he misses me so much he won't mind."
"Okay"
With that he leaves the room. Silence and more silence. I wonder if you see your old friends in heaven or is just silence like your heartbeat monitor when you die. When is it my time to go? While i wait i let sleep overtake me maybe i won't wake up.

Niall's POV
I looked around the airport for my family or Marilyn, but i knew she was long gone nobody brought her up anymore. I finally spotted Greg in the corner like always. Slowly i started walking through the crowd towards him. He finally spotted one of the only people wearing sunglasses in the airport.
"Hey bro, how was tour?"
"Fine anything new?"
"No...no"
We silently finished the conversation there. Following him through the airport, we made it to the car a few fans here and there.
"Can i drive mate?"
Silently praying he would say yes so i can show him my new flat.
"No sorry"
I nod and get in the passenger seat. The car ride was just silence but i slowly realized we were going the wrong way by missing our turn to my mom's house.
"Where are we going?"
"You will see bro."
I nod and lean on the window watching the scenery. We finally stop at the hospital.
"Who is in there, is it mom?"
"No"
"Greg tell me who is in there that is so important to go to right now"
"You will see little bro."
He gets out and walks in. I get out and run it to catch up. The receptionist just smiles at Greg and waves.
"How long have you been coming here?"
"Awhile" he replies smoothly.
He keeps on walking while i stopped thinking about this little clues he is giving me. Curiosity gets the best of me, so i run to catch up. He stops and walks in the room, i walk in without bothering to check the name. To see its her, Marilyn, laying on the hospital bed so pale.
-----------------------------
"How long has she been here?"
"2 years" someone whispers
"I audition 2 years ago though. Why did you never tell me, we are brothers"
"Respected wish-"
"Shhh shes waking"
I open my eyes to see Niall and Greg. We just stare at each other for a few seconds. I notice how Niall seems so much older, puberty most of hit him hard.
"Hi" i say just above a whisper.
"Why did you never tell me?"
"You would have left to be by my side, left your dreams i couldn't let you do that." i say
"I would have wouldn't i.".
"So this is why you didn't audition last year because you were here?"
"Ya, Niall when you have cancer you just can't get out of here for that long to pursue your dream i could die if i got too sick." My voice started to weak towards the end, im sick disgusting no wondering he didn't care enough to say 'hi.'
"You have cancer, when did you find out?"
"Your audition day"
