Let's Be Amazing

Chapter 11

Great. Here comes a load of sympathy. "Now, Amie's story is quite different from Kate's. She is 18 years old and has also been through Hell and back, yet she stands here as if she was perfectly fine, and she's probably hating all of this right now, especially the sympathy part." Zayn said, looking at me. I shrugged and nodded yes. Yah, I really hate sympathy. "And to be honest, she treated the rest of my bandmates and I as if we were normal people. And she honestly acts although nothing has gone wrong in her life."

"She was diagnosed last year when she went to the hospital for scoliosis surgery, or spinal fusion. She flatlined during the surgery due to the cancer, clearly she lived, but she stayed in the hospital until today for cancer treatment. She also underwent multiple clinical trials, all of which have proven successful. Although she is cancer free, research is still to be done to figure out if it will return or not." Jesy announced, easily giving out the main details of my story.

"And, in honor of Amie's successful medical trials," Louis started.

"And her current state of being cancer free," Niall added.

"We are donating 6 thousand pounds in her name to the clinical trials she underwent in order for others to receive the treatment and so her doctors can find out more about this cancer." Zayn announced.

Similar to Kate's donation announcement, the crowd burst into cheering and applauding. My parents looked utterly astounded and I could see tears leaving their eyes. I mouthed thank you to the boys. This would truly mean a lot and the doctors definitely need this money. I felt arms wrap around my waist from behind. Jesy. Only Jesy and Kelsey would do that. And Kelsey's in the crowd, applauding like a fool with Connor and my parents. I turned and smiled at her, hugging her.

"You're insecure, don't know what for, you're turning heads when you walk through the door," Zayn sang, somewhat slower than the original version, casting a smile at me. I'm not insecure right? I'm pretty sure I'm not....

"Don't need makeup to cover up, being the way that you are is enough." The rest of the boys joined in. Zayn was smiling and his eyes were twinkling. There was no doubt in my mind that he truly meant this. 

I laughed and hugged all five of them. Sure, I was hating all this sympathy but I was just serenaded by One Direction......a rare once in a lifetime event. Kate giggled and rushed over, hugging me as well. We broke apart and I took Liam's microphone.

"Hey everyone!" I greeted, my previous nerves gone. "Thank you all for coming out and celebrating with us." The crowd cheered a bit. "Both Kate and I really appreciate your support and love, thank you so much from both of us." Kate nodded enthusiastically. "Can you all give Little Mix a giant round of applause?" The crowd immediately responded, cheering. "And what about some for One Direction?" I asked. The crowds screams were noticeably louder for them than for Little Mix.

Jade walked over and I handed her the microphone. "Alright, well thank you all for coming once again and good night! Drive carefully!" Jade announced perkily.

People began to slowly shuffle out, some faster than others. I walked down the stairs in the back of the stage and walked over to the front, helping Kate down as Harry handed her to me. She giggled and scurried over to her friends who were getting ready to leave, their parents walking over to them with their coats. I walked over to Kelsey, Connor, Emily, and Wyatt.

"Hey!" I smiled. "Thanks a lot for coming you guys, it really means a lot to me." I said, hugging Emily.

"Oh, no problem! Wyatt and I have to go now though. Exams and that junk tomorrow at Uni." Emily rolled her eyes as she hugged me back. "Text me, alright love? We need to hang out again sometime soon."

"No problem." I laughed. "And you Wyatt, make sure Emily here keeps her head on straight." I chuckled as Emily pushed me jokingly.

"No problem." Wyatt nodded as he wrapped his arm around her waist, walking away.

"Alright, by Amie! Congratulations again!" Emily called out, waving.

"Alright, well we're-" Kelsey began.

"Going no where." I cut her off. "You two are going to come inside and have a little after party with Little Mix and One Direction. And maybe Joey." I declared.

"What? When was this decided!?" Kelsey exclaimed, looking more shocked than annoyed.

"Not too long ago." I shrugged. "You're coming right?" I asked.

"Anything for you of course!" Kelsey chuckled.

"I'll go get Joey then." Connor smiled as he walked over to Joey who was hugging multiple people that were leaving.

"So, you're really having One Direction over? I mean, I don't care but they are pretty famous." Kelsey pointed out.

"Little Mix is famous too." I retorted.

"Not as famous as One Direction." Kelsey pointed out again.

"Oh well. They helped us out so why shouldn't they stay?" I asked.

"Too much logic for me." Kelsey laughed.

"Swimming requires logic you know." I raised an eyebrow.

"Logic that I have." She smiled.
