Chapter 1-I looked up from my phone to see Niall looking me in the eyes. "What are you doing?" I asked as he still continued to stare into my eyes. "Just admiring your beautiful eyes" said Niall. Suddenly, Niall's phone makes a loud ringing sound, it's Louis. Niall picked up the phone and said hello. "Niall! Niall! come quick! Hayley is sick and I need someone to help me make her feel better. Knowing Niall's sense of humor, he could give Hayley a good laugh. "Listen Nicole, I have to go help Louis, I will be back in about an hour, love you." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and ran out the door. I thought to myself, what could be wrong with Louis? Or what could be wrong with Hayley?
Chapter 2-The next day Niall woke up and as always, expecting pancakes on the table. He looked at me with a confused look, "where are my pancakes"? he asked me. "The baby would not stop crying" I say, I think she is hungry." I went to go get the baby food out of the cabinet. "Mashed peas or mashed carrots?" I asked Lily, knowing that she wouldn't answer. "I think she would prefer mashed carrots" said Niall. So I feed her the mashed carrots and she ate them in a matter of ten seconds. "Wow she ate those fast!" said Niall. "Man I bet she could beat me in an eating contest for whoever eats the fastest!" "I don't know about that", I said. "I know how much you love to eat..." "Yeah, you do have a point." Niall said.
Chapter 3-Later that day, Niall sat beside me on the couch with a sad look on his face. "Babe, you know Hayley, well, she was rushed to the hospital yesterday." "We don't know what is wrong with her at this moment, but it doesn't sound good."I felt my heart die a little inside. "We need to go to the hospital and see if she is alright" I said. Niall went to go get the keys and I ran over to get Lily who was crying. We got in the car and arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later. We went in and asked the lady, "could we please see Hayley Tomlinson?" "Room 23" said the lady. We walked down the hall to room 23. When we walked in, Louis, Harry, Liam, Zayn, and all their girlfriends were surrounding Hayley. They all looked at us with sad, depressed faces. "She is very sick." Said Alyssa, Harry's girlfriend. "Yeah, we heard." "So does anyone know what is wrong with her?" Nobody said anything. Five seconds later the door opened, and the doctor came in. "We have figured out what was wrong with her" said the doctor. "What is it?" Asked Becca, Liam's girlfriend.
"She has cancer."
Chapter 4-The room was immediately filled with silence as everyone looked at Hayley. "How long does she have to live?" I asked. "We are not sure, but from looking at her x-rays, I would say about a month." "She has already lost about 1 third of her hair." Hayley was in to much pain to speak. "We can give her antibiotics to help with the pain, but we can't do anything about the cancer itself." The doctor then informed us that Hayley would need to stay in the hospital for another 3 days for further tests. That night, we all stayed the night with Hayley at the hospital. The next day, we went to see how Hayley was doing first thing in the morning. Lily was still asleep in her carrier. "How do you feel?" I asked Hayley. She didn't respond
Chapter 5-It was finally time to go home. We checked out of the hospital and we were on our way home. All of us stayed at our house for the night. We were all exhausted, especially Hayley. We gave Hayley her antibiotics, and then we all went to bed. The next morning I wake up to Niall whispering to me, telling me to "wake up beautiful" he said. I woke up to him, once again, looking into my eyes. "I need to tell you something." He said. "My boss called, and he said that he would like me to-." The phone rang, it was Liam. A thought ran through my mind, why would Liam be calling Niall at 7 o'clock in the morning?
Chapter 6- Liam called just to say what Niall, or me did not want to hear. Niall answered the phone and did not say hello. Instead, he let Liam do all the talking. "Our boss called me last night at around 10 o'clock p.m." "He wants us to come down to the studio ASAP." "What? He told me that he would have us come down in a week!" Niall said. "It's an emergency, we need to leave now." And the line went dead. Niall rushed through the house trying to gather everything he needed. When he finished, he came close to me, real close. He told me what was going on. I could see the sadness in his eyes. "I'll miss you baby, and Lily." "This was so sudden." He stared into my eyes for the last time for a while. He leaned in, and gave me a long, unforgettable kiss. He pulled away and said, "I will be home soon, but not soon enough." "I'll keep in touch with you when I can." Niall gave Lily a quick kiss on the forehead and headed for the door. He stopped in the doorway and said "I love you."
Chapter 7-I got a phone call from Niall that next morning. "How are you, how is the baby doing?" He asked. "I'm fine and the baby's good." "I miss you so much already." He said. "I miss you so much too, and so does Lily." "I have a feeling she wants you to come home so she could beat you in an eating contest!" We both laughed. "I don't think that will happen, but she could sure try!" There was a moment of laughter and then things got serious again. " Our boss wants us to stay here for another week" Niall said, sounding depressed. "Another whole week? But I want you home now." "I know, I want to be home too." There was a moment of silence and Niall finally said, "I have to go, I'll talk to you later." "I love you" and he hung up.
