The Other Side of Me

Chapter 23

-ZAYN-

"Shit,Dee!Azad!Dad!Help!" I cried for help,as I held my mum in my arms,Perrie was fanning mum also in shock,this didn't end really well.

"What happened?" All of them panicked as Waliyha called for an ambulance,everybody's in panic.

When the ambulance came,all of us went to the hospital,I told Perrie to stay here.I even cussed her,it's partly her fault,too.Damn,It's all her fault.If it wasn't for her mum wouldn't be in this state,I've never seen someone faint like that. So I don't know what to do.

"Zedd,please slow down,I don't want to end up in a hospital bed,too.or worse on a death bed!" Dee told me,I slowed down.Seeing that my youngest sister was holding on for her dear life,Waliyha texting everyone in the family informing them what happened to mum.

-

"She's okay now,her blood pressure went really high.Here's the lists of the things that she can't do for weeks,and things she can't eat" Dr.Farhaz spoke as we all stood up when he called my mother's name.Thank goodness she's okay.

"Can we see her now?" Waliyha asked. The doctor nodded,all of us rushed inside her room.Dad was there inside already.I told Perrie and her mum to give us a time,we want to see her just us family if that's okay with them.

"Mum,thank goodness you're okay" Dee cried as she hugged mum,I hate seeing her like this.She looks so weak,she's pale and there's a needles inserted on her vein.I don't know what it is but I feel like she's in pain.I can't even look at her.

Everyone was talking,except me.I can't talk to her.I dragged everyone into this mess.I shouldn't have agreed with the management,this wouldn't happened if it wasn't for this fcking fake relationship that I have with Perrie.

"Sunshine" mum cooed,smiling at me.Dad nudged me. "Son,go hug her or I'll ground you for the rest of your life" he whispered,I just laughed at him before I hugged my mum. "I'm sorry mum.It was all my fault" I muttered. 

She didn't utter a word,instead she hugged me tightly and we stayed like that until it's time for her to sleep again.

-ELEANOR-

I'm so sure,I sent Zayn loads of text message.Telling him that we're already here in Cheshire.He's not answering Louis' calls,I even tried calling him once,but all I can hear is that the number that I'm calling cannot be reached.Very well then.

"He's not coming" I cried,waiting for him right now is like waiting for the dinosaurs to live again.Harry hugs me,even though he was eating christmas meal with us at the living room.

"I should've known.I already had a hint yesterday" while I was crying,Louis came in with our stuffs that is in the the hood of the car. "We'll stay here for a while,got you some clothes.Went to the city centre"

"You think I'm just a stupid girl Harry?" I asked him,looking up to him while he's wrapped around me. "No,I jut think you're really inlove with our bestfriend." I chuckled as he burped while laughing with me. His burped smelled like a sausage wrapped in a cornbread.

"you know?I really want to go to Notting Hill,I've been living in London,for like my whole teenage years.I feel like I really need to go there,I want to know how William Thacker got through with all these Anna Scott being a famous american actress,I want to be William Thacker for a day" I told him.

"William Thacker is Hugh Grant right?and Anna Scott is....Emma Roberts" he wondered,Louis and I burst out in laughter.

"Yah,Hugh Grant is a pedophile in that movie!" I laughed,Harry asked what's funny. "It's actually Julia Roberts you dumbass.Oh hey,us three should go to London,it's still early,we can go there if you want" Louis said. Harry and I looked at each other before agreeing to him.

It's was past 5 when we got to the streets of London. to Notting Hill. 

I was so fascinated by everything. Of course,I've never been in here.Mum never took me here...

Mum...

She went really cold to everybody ever since Athena died.Athena's my little sister. She died because she had Leukemia,at the age of 8,we lost her.And after that.I was a nobody to her.She's more focused on her work.Thing became pretty ugly with dad.They had a divorce just a year after Athena died.

I remember Athena,she really wanted to go here. We were watching Notting Hill,I was really astonished by Hugh Grant,I began to fancy him since then. .But Athena,she wanted to go to the house with a blue door.She wanted to go to the garden where there's a bench made for June Wetherby who always loved the garden.

I wanted her to see this. I was 15 back then,I knew what's happening to her.

"Jane?" Athena cried,she's in pain. I just got back from school,I was tired and the cold's getting on my nerves. "What is it?"  I tried to sound nice and calm.

"It hurts so bad" she whined,she lift her shirt up,and some parts of her body are bruising.I gasped,calling my mother for help,calling my dad.but there's no one her to help me.They left my baby sister all alone in this house.

I called 911,and they immediately responded,I was calming her down.Trying to hold my tears. "Everything's gonna be okay Tina,help is on it's way" I told her.smiling at her.

It was my first time going inside an ambulance...I can't call my mum,because I don't know the phone number to her office,as well as my dad's.I'm soothing her,trying not to touch her bruises.Her nose is bleeding and I don't know what to do.Glad that we're surrounded by nurses.

"Is she gonna be okay?" I asked the male nurse beside me. "I don't know sweetie,but we'll make her better" he answered,I stopped crying then.She passed out while we're inside it.I cried once again.

I always hated hospitals since then.

I paced back and forth,waiting for the results,I was a fourteen and I don't know if I'm responsible enough to know what's happening to her.

"Athena Jane Calder?" the doctor called,I stood up as I heard her name.The doctor looked around,maybe finding our parents. "I'm here for her" I groaned,the doctor furrowed his brows.I did the same.

"Well,come with me in my office,sweetie" I nodded and followed him.

"Whew.Okay,how do I tell this news to you?Okay,sweetheart.Your sister is sick...she has leukemia..." he said sadly,not looking at me.

Of course I knew what leukemia is.

I cried,and walked away.I went to Athena's room,she's sleeping,with some IV's inserted in her veins.I hated the beeping sound.I hated the white walls around me.

-

"I miss her" I mumbled,wiping away the tear that slipped.

"Who?" Louis and Harry both asked.
