Ok before we start just want you all to know that I really hope you enjoy the story. Also make sure to read my other books. Also read quote of the chapter ^. Plus the fact that this story is named "Chance" has nothing to do with Niall calling it "Chonce" haha. Anyways enjoy.💕

The news struck me. The phone falls out of my hand and right on the floor as the hospital informs me of my mother's accident. They tell me how her car got out of control and how she hit a car in front and another car hit her from behind.My world is shaking. Everything is shaking.
I rush to the hospital. The doctor tells me that my mom had a lot of injuries, that she lost a lot of blood and she has just had few more days to live. Tears slip my eyes, as I take the courage to go to her room.
There is a huge bandage covering her head and her arm is broken, so is her leg. The doctor told me she is conscious but she is really weak. I go sit next to her, she is sleeping right now. I hold her hand, wrapped around in a bandage.
I don't notice that she wakes up till she says my name."Emmy."
I look at her and give her a small smile."Mom." I say. She smiles back at me, takes a deep breath then says."I need you to do something for me." She tells me.
"Anything." I reply moving closer to her, she holds my hand tightly, takes a deep breath. She doesn't say anything for a while and just stares at the roof. Then with great difficulty she turns to look at me then says."Call Maura, and tell her to come here."
Maura is my mom's best friend they met in their school days. They haven't seen each other for a while, but they always keep in touch by phone calls, texting etc. She lives all the way in Mullingar, Ireland, and we live in California. I only met her once when I was 15, when my dad died and she came for support. She has two sons Greg and Niall.
Niall is in some famous boy band called one direction. I heard some of their songs but I am not a fan or anything. I heard that currently they are on hiatus or something. I don't even think if I can get the band member's names right.
(A/N: timeline January 2016.)
I never met either Greg or Niall. And honestly speaking, I don't even care.
"Why?" I ask my mom.
"Emmy." She tells me."She is my best friend I have to see her before I die."
I know it's her last few days, but I don't want her to say that. I don't want to admit that she is leaving me forever. She can't quit even if she knows she'll fail.
"I'll give her a call." I tell her.
"Now." She orders me with great difficulty.
"Fine." I tell her. I know she is her best friend and whatever but I am her a daughter. The first thing she told me after waking up is to call her best friend, well not a great feeling but I'll do it anyway. It means a lot to my mom and I love her.
I take out my mobile from my purse and go out of the room, then I realize I don't even have her number. Frowning I go back in the room my mom is, I see that her eyes her closed. Right when I enter she looks at me then asks ."Did you call her?"
Whatever she wants with Maura means a lot to her. "No, I don't have her number." I tell her.
"Then call her from my mobile." She tells me."And Emmy be quick."
I quick her a small nod then take her mobile from the table then look through her contacts. I call Maura she picks up as soon as the bell rings.
"Isabell." She says right after picking up the phone.
"Umm." I began, I don't even know how to start this, tears are forming in my eyes."No, umm...it's Emmy."
"Emmy?" She says shocked, well why wouldn't she be, I never talked to her.
"Yeah...umm...my mom asked me to call you." I start. Every word is painful.
"Why?" She asks me, there is concern in her voice."Is everything ok?"
I don't know how to tell her no. I don't know how to tell her my mother is about to die in few days and she needs to meet you for some reason. The tears now fall out of my eyes.
"No." I finally say, as I gulp.
"What happened?" Maura asks me.
"I am in a hospital." I tell her with great difficulty, my mom had an accident."
"What?" She interrupts me."Is she all right? Nothing serious right?"
"Can you just come here?" I ask her."She wants to meet you."
She stays silent for a while then says."She will be fine right?"
"No." I say once again with great difficulty."I don't think she has a lot of time left."
I really have trouble breathing right now.
"I'll be there." She tells me.
"Thank you." I say and hang up. I look at my now sleeping mother, as more tears slip my eyes.
The doctor told me, my mom can leave so she can't spend her last few days with her family.
Maura called again and said she will be there tomorrow night.
