Make A Wish(One Direction Fanfiction)

5: Remember When

CHAPTER 5

*Mia's doctor's POV*

I felt awful. Mia reminded me of my own daughter; yes, I watch people die every day. It's hard every time, it's not something you get used to. Toddlers, teenagers, young adults, new moms, happy elderly people. So many people have died in my presence, but diagnosing Mia with leukemia was like diagnosing my own daughter. She took it surprisingly well, much better than her mom anyway.

Sighing, I walked into Mia's room to find her sleeping peacefully. I smiled when I heard her humming a happy tune in her sleep. I surprised myself by recognizing the song; where had I heard it before? Of course, it was that band that my daughter loves... What were they called... Fun Direction? No, One Friction. Or was it One Direction? That sounded right. I had met them once when a young girl with cancer a while ago got to "Make a wish" to spend the day with them thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Then it hit me. Mia had a very slim chance of living. I don't have the heart to tell her that she is probably going to die, but I think she already knows. Because she's under 18, I think she meets all the criteria asked of the Make A Wish foundation! If she was going to die, I want her to have been able to die happy. That's what I would want for my own daughter. I speed walked out of the room and to where a few other doctors were having coffee to propose my idea.

----------------------

At the end of the work day, I drove home happy. I couldn't wait to tell Mia that she could Make a Wish. I sighed again because now she would know for sure that she was going to die, but this was the least I could do for a girl who reminded me so much of my baby girl.

Mia's POV

I've been in the hospital for about a week now. It's pretty depressing, really. I looked up as my door opened, hoping it was my mom again. I asked her to buy me chocolate. Because I like chocolate. Yum.

"Did you get my choc-" I quickly stopped and blushed when I realized it was my doctor. He chuckled and I grinned shyly. He was actually kind of hot for how old he was, plus he was totally nice. He treated me like a daughter. Sometimes I hear him crying when he thinks I'm asleep; he doesn't believe that I'm going to make it. That's because he doesn't know that I've decided not to die.

"Morning, Mia. I have some... Interesting news." He said slowly.

"Interesting? Should I be worried?" I joked, trying to lighten the mood. I was really a little worried, but I ignored it because I know he would have just told me if it was bad news.

"Have you heard of the Make a Wish Foundation, Mia?" He asked nervously.

"Isn't that when little kids who are going to die get to wish to do anything they want?" I asked apprehensively. I wasn't sure where this was going or where I wanted it to go.

"Well- yes. But not just little kids. It's for anyone under 18 years of age who has been diagnosed with a life threatening disease." He explained, subtly pointing out that I would qualify.

A smile danced across my face as I remembered a picture Niall tweeted a while ago. It was him and a little girl with cancer who wished to meet One Direction.

"And..." I indicated for him to go on.

"And... You should probably think of what you want to wish for." He wriggled his eyebrows.

"I'M GONNA MEET ONE DIRECTION!" I screamed, not even considering the other options I could have wished for.

"YEAH BABY!" My doctor yelled with me. I giggled as I popped my iPod on a speaker and cranked up What Makes You Beautiful.
