Just A Fool- Nathan Sykes (Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16- Rather Be

"You haven't said anything all morning." Nathan says to me as we sit quietly in the kitchen having breakfast. "I don't have anything tosay."  I say bluntly, looking down at my plate. "Come on Kel, don't be like this." Nathan says and I just look at him. "You're leaving for the airport in about 2 hours, I feel absolutely terrible, I have a brain tumour. What musn't I be like Nathan? I don't have a reason to be happy right now." I say and he walks over to me, putting his arms around me and I fight the urge to cry. "You know that there is no place I would rather be Kelly, I love you so much and you don't know how much it hurts to see you like this and to have to leave you, but there is nothing I can do." He says sadly and turn around to put my arms around him as well. He squeezes me tightly and I squeeze him back. "I know, I'm sorry. I'm just being bitter." I say and we stay in each others arms for a little while before my mom walks into the kitchen. "Well good morning you two." She says and we move apart. "Good morning." Nathan says, taking a seat next to me to finish his breakfast. "Morning." I say and she smiles at me before making her coffee. 

"How are you feeling sweetheart?" She asks me and I don't answer her. "Not good I take it." She says. "As good as can be expected mom. I feel the way I always do." I say and she looks at me sadly. "Sorry, being bitter this morning." I say and she gives me a look. "What else is new?" She says but then she smiles and we all laugh. 

"I'm going to go finish packing." Nathan says, getting up and putting his plate in the sink. He looks at me but I can't look at him back. He heads upstairs and my mom takes the seat next to me. "I bet there's another reason why you are being so harsh this morning." She says and again I'm fighting the urge to cry. "I'm going to miss him so much mom." I say and she nods, putting her hand on my shoulder and squeezing. "I know sweety I know, why when he comes back it will be so much better. He's going to miss you just as much, he is also hurting you know." She says and I nod. "I know, I shouldn't be so hard on him." I say and she gives me a look again. "Yeah alright. If looks could kill," I say and she laughs. "With any luck he will be there when you have your next surgery and you will be much happier." She says and I nod. The band have a very hectic schedule and they can't just leave when they want, but I can still hope that he will be there. 

I hear a hoot outside and Nathan walks down the stairs with a big bag. "That'll be the boys." He says and next thing they are all walking in. "There she is, looking good and healthy" Jay says and I just laugh and squeeze him tightly. "Not yet Jay, but hopefully soon." I say and he smiles at me, "Seriously though, how are you feeling?" Max asks me as he engulfs me in a hug. "Alright." I say as I sigh and I can tell he knows I don't mean it, but he smiles and accepts it. "Well I think you're looking perfectly normal after just having surgery." Siva says and I smile my thanks as he hugs me. "Yeah, we all know how horrible Nath looked after his surgery." Tom says and we all laugh. Nathan just gives them all the death stare and walks outside to the car to put his bags in the car. We all follow him outside, none of us helping though as he lifts his bag into the car. "I'm fine, don't worry." He says and we laugh again. "I'm just going to say goodbye to your mum." He says as he goes back inside. 

"We're gonna miss you too you know." Max says and I blush a little. "I will miss you guys too. It's been really great having you all here, thank you all so much for all the support and being at the hospital and everything. I say and they all make 'aaawwing' sounds as they move in for a group hug. "What did I miss?" Nathan says as he comes outside and the boys open their arms so that he can join the hug. A little while later the boys hug me individually and make their way into the car. "I wish I could stay." He says and I can't hold the tears anymore. He wraps his arms around me and squeezes me tight. I squeeze him back and we stay that way for what felt like forever. "I will try and visit as much as I can. And I will definitely try and be here for your surgery." He says and I pull away from him. He wipes my eyes and I smile at him. "I understand that you have a busy schedule, if you can't make then that's ok, you will be there for the next or the next one after that. Just promise me that we will talk everyday, okay?" I ask. "Ofcourse Kel, ofcourse. I love you." He hugs me one last time. "I love you too." I say. He gets in the car and they are gone. 

"I'm sorry sweety." My mom says as I walk back inside to where she is standing in the kitchen. "Thanx mom. I know he'll be back soon, so I'm ok." I say and she walks over to hug me anyway. "Really, I will be fine." I say and she nods. "Ofcourse you will, look at you. You have been so strong through all of this Kelly." She says and I nod. "I think I want to get back to work mom." I say and she looks at me as if I'm crazy. "Kelly, you haven't been off of work for that long, you stil have a lot of leave left, why on earth would you want to go back now?" She asks me. "You know how much I love my job mom. And I need to help out here. I know you have been doing extra shifts at work to help out and so I can help out too. And I also don't want to sit here for however many months and be bored." I say and she thinks a little. "I know you love it, but it is a hectic job Kelly, being the editor of a newspaper. They might not have your position still available and with the surgeries and everything. It will be a lot of work and a lot of stress when you should be relaxing Kelly." She says and she has a good point but I have never been the type to want to relax all day and do nothing. "I don't want to go back to being editor, that was too much work but obviously if I make a full recovery I will. For now I just want to be a simple story writer or something so that I can have something to do. Not too much work or stress. I will talk to my doctor and my boss ofcourse and see. I really want to contribute mom." I say and she smiles. "I can manage Kel. The medical aid is paying for most of the surgeries and I have money saved as well. You don't have to." She says and I nod. "I know. I want to." I say and I make my way into the living room to call the doctor.
