The Bucket List (a 1D fanfic)

Chapter 3

I stood in front of the closet, wondering what to wear.

One direction. I was meeting One Direction!

I settled for a pair of short shorts (not too short) and a gray tshirt with the infinity sign in blue on it. I then went to the bathroom for makeup.

I put on black eyeliner, light glittery eyeshadow and some strawberry lipbalm. Then, the finishing touch, my wig. I sighed. Someday, I will have real hair.

I ran downstairs, hardly able to contain my excitement.

"Arabelle, you look lovely!" Said my mother, who would not be going backstage to meet One Direction with me, so she wore a simple tye dye tshirt that said "Arabelle's Benefit" on it and some skinny jeans.

"Thanks mom" I replied, hugging her and following her out to the car.

We have to drive to San Diego, an hour and a half away from here. On the way, I scroll through my One Direction photos on my iPhone, fangirling at each one. I still cannot believe I am meeting the boys! The boys who have helped me through endless suffering and just wanting to die.

Finally, we turned up at the right building and went inside. It was a madhouse, full of so many fans. The adrenaline rushed inside of me as we walked. I drug my mom to a vender to get some glow sticks to wave around. Finally, we find our seats.

"Front row seats?!" I scream, unable to believe that I will only be a few feet away.

"Suprise" my mother said, smiling at me. We sat down as the lights dimmed and the screaming grew louder...

Harry's POV:

"What an amazing crowd today, lads" I say, looking out at the crowd. San Diego has quite a turnout.

"I'm so excited!" Louis said. "We've never performed here before!"

I smiled and looked out at the crowd again. Suddenly a very beautiful girl waving a pink glow stick catches my eye. I can't really tell from here, but she might be Arabelle Madison, the 16 year old girl with cancer. I've seen some of her pictures on instagram, she seems so strong.

"Harry?" Asks Niall, getting my attention. Oops, I spaced out.

"Uh, yeah?" I ask, dumbly.

"Show time?" Niall says, raising his eyebrows. "Remember?"

Now I can get a better look at this girl.

"I'm ready" I reply, grabbing a mic and stepping onto the stage. As I performed, I looked at that girl the most. Every time I made eye contact with her, her blue eyes sparkled.

When the show was over, I got backstage for the meet and greet.

Many girls came up, but not that beautiful girl. The meet and greet was almost over, when suddenly- she came.

"OMG HARRY I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM MEETING YOU!" She screamed, running up and hugging me. Niall laughed.

"Hi!" I said happily, looking at her.

"I'm Arabelle Madison and I'm a huge fan!"

So it was her! I was just about to say something when Niall cut me off.

"THE Arabelle Madison?" Niall asked, walking up to her.

"Yep, the one and only" she giggled, striking a pose.

"Oh my god, your so brave!" Zayn said, looking at her fondly.

"Thanks so much!" She replied, hugging him.

I continued to stare at Arabelle, and I guess Liam noticed.

"Aw does Harry have a crushy-wushy?" He asked in a baby voice.

"Cut it out!" I fake-pouted, still smiling at Arabelle. She is so pretty!

"Well, I have to go." She said sadly.

"Your leaving?! No!" I yelled, hugging her.

"I don't want to go either, but I have to get ready to go back to the hospital" Arabelle said sadly, hugging us all and leaving.

As soon as she left, I turned to all of the other guys.

"We are visiting Arabelle in the hospital tomorrow" I said, and they nodded happily.
