We had just finished eating pizza for lunch. I hadn't been able to eat much because my throught hurt so much, so I barely ate a slice. Now we were watching my favorite movie, Transformers Dark of the Moon. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I got up and walked up the stairs to the bathroom.
I felt something in my throught when I was halfway up so I ran the rest of the way. I got to the bathroom just in time, as I had started to puke. I heard the movie pause and a few pairs of foot steps go up the stairs. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Are you okay?" Andy asked cracking open the door. I answered with another round of vomit.
Andy opened the door and they walked over to the toilet. Andy rubbed my back and Ashley held my hair out of my face as I continued to vomit. "She okay?" CC yelled from somewhere downstairs. "No!" I yelled then vomited again.
After an half hour of puking and dry heaving Andy suggested we go to the hospital.
I tried to stand up, but instantly went back to the toilet to dry heave. "Ok, Rayne. I'm going to pick you up and take you to the car. Can you handle that?" Ashley asked.
I knodded my head and he scoped me up bridal style and carried me to the car. Andy told CC, Jake and Jinxx to meet us at the hospital, then hopped in the drivers seat.
Ashley sat in the backseat with me in his lap, as Andy drove as fast as he could without getting pulled over.
I must have blacked out on the way because when I opened my eyes I was in an all white room that smelled strongly of disinfectants.
"..How are we going to tell her?" Andy asked with his face in his hands. Ashley sat next to me on the other side of the bed rubbing my hand. "I don't know...." CC said looking at me noticing I was awake and cracked a small smile.
"..Teell mee Whaat?" I asked my voice cracking throughout the simple phrase.
"Your awake!" Ashley said jumping out of his seat and hugging me. I tried to hug him back, but couldn't as there was an IV in my arm.
"Wh-at's going on?" I asked again. Ashley slowly sat back in his seat and sadly looked at the ground.
"Rayne..." CC started before a doctor walked in. "I see your awake. Now we can start to explore your treatment options." He said looking at his clip board.
"Treatment options?" I asked looking at the guys. They were all avoiding my gaze and looking at various places in the room.
"Yes. You have Stage II Laryngeal Cancer, commonly known as Throught Cancer." The doctor replied. I felt the tears in my eyes.
"Wh-what my chance of..." I started before the doctor cut me off. "You have a 56 percent chance of survival. Could I talk to one of you young gentlemen in the hallway?"
I grabbed Ashley's hand, and he squeased mine as I silently cried.
Andy and the doctor talked about my treatment options in the hallway, Meanwhile in the room it was dead silent. When Andy walked into the room we all looked at him. "Well...?" CC asked quietly.
"They have to do surgery. There is a ninety five percent chance that... Sh-she won't be able to sing." He said before fully breaking down. I had just told them earlier today I wanted to sing for a living.
We went home after we scheduled my surgery. It was next Monday and my last round of Chemotherapy was the day before tour.
Worst birthday ever.....
TIMESKIP TO AFTER SURGERY
I woke up surrounded by the guys. I tried to talk but nothing came out.
"Don't try to talk... It will ruin your chance of ever talking again." Andy said handing me some ice chips. I munched on them and watched Hello Kitty with Ashley. "You can change the channel if you want." He said handing me the remote. I shook my head no and handed it back.
"Smile." Andy took a picture of me and then a minute later I felt my phone buzz.

Andy Biersack @AndyBVB @raynebvb is a fighter. She was diagnosed with Stage II Laryngeal Cancer, went throught surgery and is happy to be watching Hello Kitty with @AshleyPurdyinc. She's my hero. Who's yours?
I threw an ice chip at Andy and smiled. "Your OUR hero Rayne." Jinxx said looking up from his phone laughing.
AFTER LAST HOSPITAL VISIT
After my last trip to the hospital I went home and I started packing for tour. It turns out not everyone loses their hair during Chemo. With some people, their hair looks like they got a perm, and mine did just that.
"Knock knock..." Andy said. I knocked twice on the floor to my room signifying it was alright to come in.
"How goes packing?" Ashley asked walking in behind Andy. He sat next to me and started helping me fold clothes. I gave him a thumbs up and a smile.
"I don't know how you do it squirt." Ashley said hugging me from the side.
When he let go I made muscles with my arms making a reference to Andy in the music video Heart of Fire. Andy laughed. "You do have a heart of fire Rayne." he said laughing.
I heard a click of a camera then a quiet "shit" from Andy.
I looked at him and threw a sock. It landed just short of him and he just sat there. Then he looked, at it for a few seconds, then looked at me again before he looked back at his phone and started typing. I rolled my eyes and kept folding.
'Cue the buzzing phone' I thought.

Andy Biersack @AndyBVB Can't wait to see all of you with a Cancer free @raynebvb on tour.
I threw the other sock to the pair at Andy and it landed on his head.
I fell onto Ashley laughing and Ashley just cracked up. Andy just sat there with it on his head. "Funny...."
"Y-eap!" Ashley said falling over and squishing me.
