The Bucket List (a 1D fanfic)

Chapter 4

Arabelle's POV:

On the way home, I was shaking. I just met One Direction! And had a conversation with them! It was so much fun, and everyone seems to like me.

"Did you have fun?" My mother asked, looking at me with a smile.

"Yes!! Thanks so much for taking me!" I replied, hugging her even though she was driving.

Suddenly, I noticed her take another turn, not on the way home, but the way to the hospital.

"I thought I didn't go to the hospital until tomorrow?" I asked, frowning. I didnt want to go here any sooner than I had too.

"Well, the doctor said that so much excitement should be watched" she replied grimly, as if she felt bad for me. I knew she did.

When I got back into the hospital, I climbed into the bed and watched the doctor put an IV drip in my arm. Suddenly I felt really sick.

"Should the IV be making me feel sick?" I ask urgently, I am starting to feel unusually achey.

"No, how are you feeling?" Asks my doctor with real concern in her voice.

"Worse than usual. I feel really achey" I reply, realizing that I've been feeling kind of bad for a while now, a few months, even. I guess with all of the other pain I didnt even notice.

"Maybe we should check that out tomorrow" the doctor says, concerned. I nod, not wanting to move, I feel so terrible. Why is this my life? I was just happy and normal, now I feel like death. I hate this, I really do.

I feel myself starting to drift off.

Arabelle's Mother POV:

I'm worried. I just had my happy Arabelle, and now she is complaining of feeling worse. Arabelle never lies about how she is feeling, she is old enough to know that her life could depend on the truth.

"Aria, can I talk to you?" The doctor asks as soon as she sees my baby girl asleep.

I follow the doctor into the hall, wanting to stay with Arabelle.

"Arabelle is complaining of the same symptoms of possible heart failure. The excitement from the concert mixed with the cancer could be causing it" Dr. Freidland said peeking into the room at Arabelle.

"Oh my god please test her tomorrow!" I yell, not wanting to lose my daughter. Dr. Freidland assures me that they will test her and she lets me in with Arabelle. Another doctor is giving her another IV just in case her heart is failing. I start getting choked up and finally sob. I can't take this anymore, I just can't.

Harry's POV:

I'm chilling in our LA apartment with the boys, talking about the concert and some of our fans.

"So, when are you going to ask Arabelle to marry you?" Liam asks, smirking. Liam shoots him a high five and the other guys laugh.

"Haha, very funny" I reply, laughing along.

"She is very pretty, Harry. Your a lucky guy" says Zayn in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I wonder how shes doing" I say, hoping she is fine.

"She must have a difficult life, shes had cancer for 13 years!" Niall exclaimes, looking troubled. "How does she handle it?"

We talk about Arabelle some more and we decided to look up her hospital. Arabelle is hospitalized in the Los Angeles Children's Hospital.

I can't wait to see her tomorrow, shes going to be so suprised.
