Chapter 3:

"WAKE YOUR LAZY ASS UP WE HAVE TO GET READY," Kim screams at me. I look around remembering that we stayed at a hotel last night and again tonight because of the concert. Krisa and I both get out of the beds we slept in and we all out robes on over our pjs to go get some breakfast even though it was noon. I had more chemo treatments recently so I wasn't all that hungry. I quickly grab a water and jello and say that that's good.

Krisa and Kim look at me sadly. I shrug a "what?" But they just turn away as though it's nothing. They didn't like that I could never eat much and I guess I can't really blame them but I couldn't control what my cancer does really.

We walk back to our room where Kim and Krisa grab their flat irons to straighten their hair. I face the mirror though as I apply my makeup. When my makeup is done, I grab a crop top and a high wasted skirt. I grab my chucks sliding them on my feet before checking my reflection in the full length mirror.

I was happy with my reflection even with my bald head. Kim and Krisa leave the bathroom and smile at my outfit. The concert was at 6 and we managed to kill 2 hours by the time Kim and Krisa were finished. Since I have nothing to do I just watch a bunch of YouTube videos.

Kim and Krisa blast One Direction music soon after though so I turn off my videos as we all sing the songs we've known by heard for so long now. Story of my Life was still my favorite though because it was such a beautiful song.

All of a sudden I hear the song Sorry by Sleeping With Sirens and answer the call I am getting from my mom. She has been checking on me a lot out of her worry. I really felt bad she was so worried and had to stress so much she had to call me a lot to know I was safe. She just didn't want me in any more pain.

As I thought, she is making sure to tell me to be safe at the concert tonight and check in on how Kim Krisa and I are all doing.

I'm not sure why she thought I didn't know by now to be careful at a concert because I was 21 and knew that by now. Apparently my ringtone got Krisa and Kim in a Sleeping Wth Sirens mood because I hear them blast congratulations soon after I hang up with my mom.

I guess they figure we'd hear enough One Direction at the concert too. We head to the concert around 4:30 to get there a little bit earlier then the crowds which doesn't matter because our tickets were front row and then headed backstage to meet them.

Naturally they were playing One Direction songs as we walked in. Nothing new for a concert. People shove us a lot and I grit my teeth together hard out of the pain it puts onto my weak body. Krisa and Kim surround me though and shove us through the crowd to make it through okay.

As soon as the cotton candy man comes near us I buy one with the money I've saved for today. We were so close to the stage and it made my heart beat fast in my chest.

As soon as the opening acts finish, the boys walk unto the stage. All you could hear were the screams of fans and I am within those screams. The concert is hot and sweaty but I sit there screaming the whole time.

My heart flutters when all of a sudden, Louis' eyes meet mine. He smiles but he looks sort of sad, which I assume is because he sees my lack of air and oxygen tank. Even Louis couldn't help but seem sad because of me.

He keeps looking to me and everyone around me glares at me for being able to catch one of the boys' eyes.

Louis solo for Story of my Life was coming up and he goes over to me kneels down staring me right in my eyes and singing to me. As fast as it happened, it is done just as fast and I am flipping out in my mind at what happens.

As soon as Story of my Life ends, the concert ends and that's it. My excitement at the boys being so close singing to the crowd was over. But over all it wasn't because I was meeting them as soon as I left.

We are escorted by security guards to behind stage pushing through the crowds. As soon as we get backstage, the guards leave and I look around at the other people meeting the boys which you can tell they were excited, like us all, to do. They soon are all looking at my bald head though which makes me embarrassed but I also feel like they are annoyed because they all know I am the girl Louis sung to earlier. When the boys come out, Louis looks straight to me and it's as though time has frozen.

He talks to all the fans and as they thin out, all the boys have to do is meet me Kim and Krisa. Louis looks straight at me and he walks a bit faster then the boys, staring at me all the while. He looked as though he was in some weird trance and that I put him in it. I can't help but be excited that he was anxious to meet me but I keep my calm the whole time.

Louis' POV:

I saw this beautiful girl but anyone can see that cancer or some type of disease was taking over her body which made me think of the song Mad World for some reason. I walk to the girl and her friends. I smile at them all saying a sweet hi. The thing is though, I find myself staring at the girl a lot more then I should. I was probably creeping her out so bad.

"What are your names?" The girls friends introduce themselves as Krisa and Kim and she says her name is Jessica but people call her either Jess or Jessie. She was always happy that whole time we met her. The boys seemed sad at what was going on with her when she says her story and I was too but I was so enchanted by her even though I had just met her.

She would look to be and turn away blushing as unnoticeably as possible.

"Who is your favorites out of all of us?!" Niall asks anxiously. He always asked which made us glare at him. Kim says her favorite was Niall and Krisa's favorite was Liam.

"Louis," Jess whispers almost barely audible. The boys ask what because they didn't hear but I did and I smile sweetly at her. "Louis..." She says again. As weird as I was being, those words made me want to just hug her small fragile body so much. The boys look at me and grin like idiots. Was it possible to have a crush on someone this fast? She was truly beautiful and I didn't like her out of pity.

She really made my heart beat fast in my chest which made me even more nervous that she would somehow see how fast my heart was pounding and find me weird. While Krisa and Kim talk to the other boys, I take the opportunity to slide a piece of paper into Jessie's open hand. She looks to me and puts the paper in her pocket with a slight smile.

I was thankful that she wasn't finding me to creepy because I would admit I was being a creepy person but, she brought out a side of myself I have never seen before.
