Wires, that's all its been for the past couple of months. In and out of the hospital. One minute I'm in the hospital for an asthma attack then next thing you know I've been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Heart Shattering, that's what it's like to get that kind of news, because any chance of a future was now up in the air.
Nevaeh's POV (Present day)
Today is probably the worst day of the week. Having a chemo therapy session without my best friend here, he's usually the one to come by before hand but he texted me this morning saying that he was going to be busy all day and while waiting in the room I've been assigned. I would be texting him now but since he's busy I've been texting my other best friend Rose.
(N- Nevaeh , R- Rose)
N- I seriously hate days like this
R- Ik girly, but the sooner they come and get you the sooner it will be over
N- Yea I just wish they would come and get me now... i just wanna go home.
As I send that text a tear roles down my face, I hated being so sick I just wanted it to be over.
"Nevaeh it's time for your radiation session." some nurse says. I just nod and put my phone back into my bag that will stay in here for the next 2 hours.
** 5 Hours later**
I'm now home and have crawled into bed and I have been waiting for a text from Dalton saying good night, like we do every night, and it still hasn't happened. I turn over and tears stream down my face. This whole thing was getting old, being sick and all. It felt like I wasn't getting better, but doctors say I have been. Part of me want to rewind the clock and make it so I never get sick, but I guess the world had a different plan for me. I've never felt so broken and weak than I do right now. I wish Dalton was here with me, he's my best friend and would know what to do to help me. As time goes on and still no text from him my eyes are so heavy that I give and let sleep consume me as my mind sticks to the one person that's been on my mind all day.

Dalton's POV
I hated leaving Nevaeh on a radiation day but there wasn't much I could do, I was going to addition for American Idol and I wanted to surprise her since it's her favorite show. I was so nervous and scared, I wanted to make it for her but at the same time I don't know how good every one else that is auditioning is gonna do. I could be up against the best of the best and then I really wouldn't make it.
"Dalton Rapattoni" Some security said.
I got up, with my guitar and walked to where this guy was and calmed my self down as I enter. I'm more excited then I am nervous so this should be interesting.
"What's up?" I say as i walk in to the auditioning room thing
"You are so cute" Jenifer says
"Thank you" I reply
"Are those flowers on your docs?" She ask
"They are, these are my dancing shoes" I say
"Cute" Jenifer says
"Who are you?" Harry ask
"I am Dalton Rapattoni, I am 19 years old, I'm from Dallas Texas, I'm a vocal coach at the school of rock, its an after school program where kids can get to play in a rock band" I say
"Cool, you ready to sing?" Harry ask
"Yea" i say smiling a little
"We're ready to hear you" He replies
"Alright" I say as i start to strum my guitar
"In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me and speaks my name And do I dream again for now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you grows stronger yet The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind."
"Thanks Dalton" Harry says
"Thank you very much" I express
"Listen, so many time people get constricted by the perception of what type of music they should be singing. Like I hear it all the time, right, somebody want to be a country artist and can be from Manhattan and they come in and they sound like they're trying to imitate Kanye Twitty. They aren't able to see the music for what it is." spoke Harry.
"Yea" i speak
"So you just took this famous Andrew Lloyd Webber song and sang it like you wanted to sing it. I dug it man" continues Harry
"Thank you very much" I reply as I wait for someone new to speak
"You have this very interesting mix of like, soft and hard, masculine but like a little feminine with the make up and the flowers on the shoes." Jenifer says
"Thank you" I express yet again getting some pretty good fed back form the judges
" It's like the rock with the musical. It's like you're turning everything and mixing it together and its making something very unique and beautiful and special and I like it and I liked your voice very much too." she continues
"thank you very much" i say as i look to the last judge
"I'm looking for someone who's got an artistic contribution to make to what were putting together and that's what you gave me right now, your own artistic contribution. I'm going to say yes Dalton" Keith says
"Thank you!" I express
"Me too Dalton" Harry jumps in
"Okay we're on a role" Jenifer says as she holds up a golden ticket
"Awesome ,thank you guys so much" I say as I walk up to the judges table to grab the ticket
"I'll see you guys in Hollywood adios" I say as I walk out while still hearing the judges final comments.
