Only Now Exists (One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 19

Stephanie's P.O.V

"You, and Kate. I was planning to tell you and mom at the hospital." I slip out, looking out to the trees. I hear a deep sigh, "Stephanie," He began, "I don't know what to say." He mutters. I wait a minute.

"How are the colleges you signed up for?" He said, putting notice to change the subject. "I have no clue, I turned my phone off. Maybe they sent me some emails." I mutter. "I want you to focus on school, not on your boyfriend." He says, ending in disgust. "Yes daddy." mumbles out of my mouth. We finally pull up to the hospital. Thank god, the car was about to explode from awkward fires.

We finally enter my grandma's room. "Welcome home" and "Get well soon" balloons fill the room, "Mimi!" I whisper. I walk closer to see her with millions of needles and tubes. A huge smile grows on her face, she whispers my name in joy. I give her a huge hug, and give her the small teddy bear I received from the airport.

I look over to my mom. Oh how I missed her! I run over and give her a huge hug. "Together at last!" She says happily. "What did the doctor say?" I ask. "She has low blood pressure. She hasn't eaten anything in a week." She said. I look over at my grandma, she smiles, like nothing's wrong.

I walk over to her and grab her hand. "Mimi, you need to eat. I don't want to loose you like I almost did. You'll be out of here in no time if you just do so." I say, kissing her small veiny hand.

"I'm not hungry, I've lost all willingness to stand." she croaked. "Mimi, for me. Please, I'm begging you." I gasp. She gives this hopeless smile and kisses me on my forehead.

I've been sitting in this room for about 4 hours. Fear starts to  fill me. The doctor has been in and out. "Look, we've came back with test results. Its more than low blood pressure and lack of nutrients. She has lethal pneumonia." The doctor said, pausing constantly. 

Oh my god.

"Can she be cured?" I ask in shock. I tear up, as the doctor takes a long pause. "Half of a chance, yes." He blurted out. I look at my grandma, her smile slowly wipes off. "Stephanie, whatever happens  I'm proud of everything you've done, I love you more than anything in this world." She whispered. I hug her tight and leave. I don't want to cry even harder in front of her.

Joey sent me a message, saying he was here.

What a coincidence.

Harry's P.O.V

Oh god, I almost kissed Kate. Oh god. No, I get off my bed and debate whether or not to go to see her. Stephanie, I mean.

"Mate, have you been in bed all day?" Louis asked. "Yeah. I'm gonna see Stephanie. Try to make things right." I say, grabbing a decent shirt and pants. "Harry, Stephanie's gone." Louis's voice echoed.

What does he mean by gone?

I run out of our apartment and go to theirs. She can't be gone. The apartment is empty, thank god. I see her room, empty. No, is she gone for what I did to her? Even worse. What if she saw me with Kate?

I felt bad for Kate, felt bad for what I said to her. I should have kept my mouth shut. I grab my phone, no text messages, no calls. Where could she have possibly gone, without telling me? I better call her, text her, something. I want to make sure she's safe wherever she went.

Stephanie's P.O.V

"Hey Steph!" Joey said, grabbing my things. I gently smile and open the car. I can't believe she has pneumonia. I begin to tear up thinking of life without her. She was always there for me. When I needed someone, she was the first to run. No one ever makes me feel the way I do when I'm with my grandma.
