Letting Her Go

I have started writing this fan fiction about my idol Olly Murs. However, it won't be like a normal fan fiction!? Please comment if you enjoy it or not so i can see if i should carry on writing it as there would be no point if no one would read it!

If you are a true Olly Murs fan, you will see why I chose certain names, drinks, songs and cars. Please comment if you spot them!

From the point of of view of Olly Murs

"Letting her go will be one of the hardest things i will ever have to do in my life..."

Chapter 1: The Demon Strikes

Sitting in the waiting room feeling like a nervous wreck, not being able to go in there with her worried me, i wanted to be by her side, with her if she got the bad news, a shoulder to cry on, arms to wrap around, but i had to wait and the suspense was killing me. I heard footsteps coming down from the corridor and my heart was racing, beating so violently that i couldn't even hear what the doctor was saying but by the look on his face, i could tell that it was some sort of bad news.

When my heart calmed down, i was allowed to go into the room to meet her, as i walked into the depressing, cold, doctor's office i saw Ruby rise from her chair and run over to me, i held her so tightly that neither of us could let go but i couldn't think of what to say to calm her down and to stop the tears from streaming down her face, and to be honest i hadn't even heard the news yet so i didn't exactly know what it was! So all i could do was stroke her beautiful, chocolate coloured, silky hair, and whisper in her ear, "everything will be alright Ruby, everything will be alright..."

We left it for a while, Ruby and i sat in the waiting room for 20 minutes as silent as mice and not saying a word to each other. But then we were called back in for a 'talk' with doctor Nafario. He explained the type of cancer Ruby had, he told her the symptoms, the drugs she had to take and gave her leaflets to attend classes and groups with other people with the illness. Every time he mentioned that dreaded demon, my spine shivered and all i wanted to do was scream. But I knew I couldn't, not just because of the embarrassment it would cause me but for Ruby. I wanted her to know that I was strong and willing to be by her side.

Furthermore, he did not tell us anything else, as that was all we needed to know but I could see in the look on Ruby's face that there was lots more that she wanted to know, I could almost hear her questions in my mind, 'how long will i live?', 'will i actually die?', 'is it curable?', and many other devastating ponders but all we could do was hope and pray.

We got into our bentley continental and drove straight home. It was the first time ever that we didn't play the radio not even our favourite song of all time, Billy Jean! But there was no point because it wouldn't have cheered us up anyway.

When we got home I made two cups of tetley and we sat down on the sofa together as i held her tightly. The news broke us, all we could think about was it and I could barely look at Ruby before i bursted into tears. Not what a man my age would do though. Then it started to pour with rain and we could hear the pitter patter of the rain drops as if they were dancing on the window. I went to put the rubbish outside and felt the rain hitting me hard, sent from the demon, cancer. Like it had just sent down its lightning strike when we were at the hospital and now it's hard rocks falling were trying to get me! I ran back inside and dried off but by that time Ruby had gone into her room and i bet the weather didn't help her. Although, the weather was perfect for a tragic event like this, just like what you see in those films, only worse, and not a fantasy...

Chapter 2: Stress Pouring In

Ruby isn't like those people who, when something bad happens to them tells everyone for pity. Or make something seem worse than it actually is. She's not an attention seeker and does not take people for granted. That's what I love about her. Everyone loves Ruby and i am so lucky to have her, she is the happiest, funniest and nicest person i know and it was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen when I saw her cry at the hospital. Sadly, because she is like this, she refused to call her parents and tell them the news. She didn't want to make them upset and feel sorry for her and this is why we ended up in an argument. I said it was essential to call her parents, obviously they should be the first people to know! So the Sunday that we had this argument, she sat in her bedroom and i sat in the living room. Both staring into the gloom of life and oblivious to what each other were doing. However it's not that I didn't care about what she was doing, of course i cared. For all i knew she could have been ending her life earlier! So when this thought sprung to my mind, i panicked, this might not have been a thing that Ruby would do but in the circumstances that she was in, i wouldn't blame her. I was thinking how selfish I was, it's not my decision to call her parents, it's her illness and not mine and they are her parents. So I ran into her room and sprang my arms around her as she was lying on the bed in tears. I clutched her gently, not wanting to agitate her but tight enough that she could put her strength in me. I kissed her on the forehead and carefully pushed the bottom of her chin up to raise her beautiful, clear face covered in rain drops that had fallen from her dreamy brown eyes. I said that i was sorry and i shouldn't have interfered with what was right for her family. She forgave me and replied in a whimpering, shaky, voice "you wanted to do what's best and what's right, i completely see that, but my family is different and you know that" I kissed her in the forehead again and whispered "I know, stay right here and i'll never let you go". She giggled and said "don't use that cheesiness on me!" I chuckled saying "but will it convince you?" and just my luck that it did!

The most stressful days of all is when family come round. There is so much work to be done and effort is the key! It was two Sundays later and The Taylors were coming over for lunch. I had only met them twice and only in those two times, i could see who liked me and who didn't. Ruby's mother is a funny, jolly and enthusiastic woman along with her husband. I could see that the first time we met, they were so interested in me and cared about me just like i was their own son! However her sister is a miserable cow but to be fair, her life has been miserable. Sadly, I had only met Ruby's brother, Peter, once, and it was the first and unfortunately last time. A lovely lad, and only at the age of 21, 7 years younger than Rubes, died in a car accident on a busy motorway in Kent. That left just Ruby and the miserable cow, Jean. Jean older, and 5 years apart.

Five to one. Five minutes till the fake smile was put on and everything was ready. I was sweating like a pig, working my ass off all morning, cleaning and cooking. To be honest, i was more nervous for Rubes. How would she tell her parents her news, what would their reaction be? The stress was kicking in and both of us couldn't bare it...
