Fix Me, Save Me

Support and Help

“Done” Louis came and stood in front of me.

“Me too” Niall spoke up.

“I finished before you” Louis pulled a funny face at Niall. Niall retaliated by pulling his hair. I stood up and pulled both of them by their ears, stopping them from creating World war 3.

“Are you going to stop fighting?” I asked. Both boys grumbled a yes. I tugged harder on their and ears.

“I’m sorry I didn’t hear you” I said trying to hold in the laughter. They looked so pitiful.

“Yes Emily”. I let them go. Both of the held their ears as they sat down on the sofa. I leant back and looked at Liam.

“Was I a little harsh on them?” I asked.

“No, I look up to you now. Teach me your ways Em” Zayn laughed and high-fived me. I went over and sat in the middle of Louis and Niall.

“Payback” both of them whispered in either ear. Wait what!

“Louisss, Niallll geet off” I screeched. They wouldn’t stop tickling me. I finally pushed Louis off before falling onto the floor. I looked up to see Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn standing over me.

“We can warm the food up, it started raining and the bags got wet and oh. Emily are you okay?” we all sort of turned to face Harry who was dripping wet.

“Liam the rooms clean, like actually clean” Harry said. Liam took my hand and helped me up.

“Thanks to me, this room is clean” I said proudly. Niall went over to Harry and took the brown bags off him. He then bounded over to Liam.

“Food Li, food”. Liam took the food out of Niall’s hand and walked downstairs. I sat back down and snuggled into Niall’s warm body.

“What a day. I’m already exhausted and it’s only 12 o clock” I stated.

“Don’t worry, it gets worse” Louis said evilly. He scares me. The smell of food wafted into the living room making Niall get excited.

“So Niall here’s yours and your drink. Harry I’m guessing this is yours with the hot chocolate. Zayn yours is with the chicken sandwich as is yours Emily. Louis, this is your chicken selects”. Liam sat down next to me and started eating.

“Haz turn the TV on, you’re closest to the remote” Louis whined. Harry picked up the remote and pressed the red button and the first thing that came on was ‘Total Wipeout’.

“My favourite” Louis said and rubbed his hands together. I muffled a giggle.

“Thanks Harry for the food I mean”.

“No problem” he bowed his head before turning to face the TV.

“Liam, what time is it?” I asked.

“Half two, time flies doesn’t it” he chuckled.

“Yep, would you be able to get me some tablets please?” I asked as I shuffled a little.

“Sure Em” Liam replied and got up. Niall smiled at me before wrapping his arms around me and squeezing me tightly. I moved out of his embrace and smiled. Liam came back in and passed me my tablets and a glass of water. After taking my tablets I passed Liam back the glass. The medicine tastes horrible and it leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. The doorbell rang through the house.

“Abby’s here, let’s go and greet her” Liam said.

“Thank you for coming” I heard Liam say before Abby came through the door.

“Abby” I shouted cheerfully. She came over and hugged me tightly.

“What’s your pain like, number?” she asked me as she sat down.

“Around 4, I’ve just took some medicine” I replied. Liam sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

Liam’s P.O.V.

“So I’m pretty much going to tell you everything about Em and what’s happening” she started,” if you’re okay with it”. All the boys nodded.

“So Emily has what you call Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. It starts around the bone marrow, the spine and spreads. She has too many white blood cells and not enough red blood cells. Emily will start chemo again next week. Chemotherapy unfortunately not only does it kill the cancer it also makes Emily very ill. Her hair might fall out, she’ll get bruises and lose her appetite and she’ll be tired a lot. I’ll be visiting Saturday and Sunday to give her the platelets. At school, we can give her medicine and take blood. If Emily gets nosebleeds you need to call me straight away. Visits to the hospital will be necessary once every week for chemo. I’m here whenever you need me for support or help and Emily has my number in case she needs any help. It’s a long waiting game unfortunately but as long as Emily is given love and hope she can’t ask for a better life” Abby finally finished. I heard a small snore from beneath me. I looked down to find Em asleep on my lap. I moved a piece of hair that was sliding slowly onto her nose.

“Do you know how long we, she has left?” Harry asked.

“Years, months, weeks or days. Emily is doing well at the minute but the cancer is going to reach her kidneys, that’s where it’s going to go downhill,” Abby said.

“Can’t you stop it?” Niall said harshly, he looked like he was about to cry.

“The chemo might work. Just give her the best life you can give. Don’t think about what she’s got, just take each day as it comes” Abby calmly said.

“What she means Niall is that everyday needs to be happy for her even during her last days” I said.

“Sorry for my outburst, I’m going to get some food” Niall whispered.

“I’ll go help him” Louis said and ran after Niall.

“Well I’ll be off now. I’ll leave this pack for more information” Abby said and stood up. Harry led her out leaving me, Zayn and Emily alone.

“Wish they would tell us an exact date. This is so much to process,” Zayn leaned back ward on the chair and put his hands behind his head.

“We can do this Zayn. Emily is going to love her life” I said. Harry came back up the stairs and sat down next to me.

“That was, what’s the word horrifying” Harry exclaimed. Zayn nodded.

“Black opps anyone?” Zayn asked and held up the pad.

“Sure” I said.
