  "Mr. Horan, and Mr. Johnson, we have the results of your tests."

      "Ok. What's the news?"

      "Mr. Horan, I'm afraid the news is bad."

       "Oh my god, what is it?"

       "I'm afraid you have Stage 4 Lung Cancer."

        "What?"

        "You have Stage 4 Lung Cancer."

       "What does that mean?"

       "That means that you need surgery and chemo. I can recommend an oncologist for you."

      "That's not needed Dr. Patell" Lane jumped in.

       "Mr. Johnson, without an oncologist, Mr. Horan will die, do-,

      "No, I mean you don't need to recommend one. My best friend is one. She's a genius."

     "How old is she?"

     "22"

     "Then she can't possibly be a good one. What's her name?"

     "Dr. Grace McLamb."

     "Wait?? You mean the Dr. Grace McLamb?? As in like world's best oncologist???"

    "The one and only."

    "Ok, I guess that's it then. You are free to leave."

   1 week later....

     "Niall, are you ready?? If we don't leave today, we will never make it. It's a long drive to Houston. She's the best, working at the best hospital in the US for Cancer."

      "Yea. I guess. But, why do we have to drive??? Wouldn't it be easier to fly?"

       "Yes, it would be. I called Grace and told her the situation and she said 'DO NOT FLY'. She said that it could make you worse."

      "How?"

       "By making you puke. And it could also make you faint. Luckily, Ariana doesn't have any events or concerts this year so I don't have to go back until we have to start preparing for her concert in May."

       "Ok. And I have you until May?"

       "Until April. I have to go meet with her one month before she performs to go over the songs with her, then I have to find wardrobe for the dancers."

    2 Days Later....

      Lane's POV

   

     "Hey! Payne-in-the-butt!!! Answer the door!"

    "I'm coming."

       We then heard the sound of socks sliding across hardwood and a lock unlocking. She then opened the door to the beautiful girl I remember. Never aged a bit. Same style even. Hair in a pony tail, knee-length jean shorts, with a black tanktop and patterned blouse, and underneath her feet, mismatched socks. Same as always. Laid back with style.

         "Lance!!!! I've missed you so much!!! We really need to talk more."

         "Yes. We really do."

         "So, what's the sitch?"

         "Oh my god, Grace. And it's engaged now."

         She invited us in and we had dinner. We then sat on her jumbo leather sectional couch and watched a movie. (Her parents are rich!) After the 3 movies, we all went in to go to bed after her working all day, and Me and Niall driving in.

       Me and Niall layed down into the bed and I wrapped my arms around his smaller frame and held him close. We fell asleep that way.
