The Final Cut

The Phone Call

A/N OMFG WE HIT 1K!!!!! Thank you all so freaking much!!! To show my love for you here is a sad chapter. One more after this until the epilogue!! Which I still need to write ._. Anyways I was thinking about doing a Q and A for 1K at the end of next chapter because it is going to be really short. So ask some questions about this story in the comments and I will answer them!!! So here you go!!!

I got a phone call from someone who I would never expect.

My mom.

I answered it "What do you want" I said sassily.

"I don't give two fucks about you but Nick needs you. She is in the hospital." She said. I could tell she was crying.

"Ok. I'll be there as soon as possible." I said and I hung up. The tears began to fall.

"Lea? What's wrong?" Liam asked.

"My... My sister.... Hospital." Was all I could say before I busted out into bull on sobbing.

"I'll drive" Johna said as she pulled me to the car with Liam behind me.

I sat in the back with Liam's arms wrapped around me.

After I stopped crying Liam looked at me and he whipped my cheeks.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"I.... I don't know..."

Then he started to lean in. I really didn't know what was going on until I felt his lips touch mine.

"I've wanted to tell you something for a long time." He said and looked me in the eyes. "I am honestly in love with every part of you. Your laugh. Your personality. Your crazy hair. Even the highway of scars covering your body."

I started to cry again. I lightly put my hand on his cheek and I softly pressed my lips to his.

"Well I guess the feeling is mutual" I said as I looked into his eyes.

(I. Ship. It.)

"We are here." Johna said as we pulled into the parking lot. I heard her voice crack and it sounded like she was crying.

"Come on." Liam said when he helped me out of the car. "Don't worry. We are here for you."

When we walked into the busy hospital my dad was sitting and it looked like he was looking for me. When he finally caught my eye he stood up and ran to me.

"Uh.. The doctor will be out to talk to you in a second." He said as he refused to look me in the eyes.

I nodded and I sat down. Liam arms were still wrapped around me.

A few moments later a doctor entered the waiting room and by the look my dad had on his face, I guessed he was Nick's doctor.

"Hello you must be Lea, I am Doctor Dahlberg. I know this will be hard but your sister...."

That's all that I remember.

I faintly remember the constant flow of tears run down my face and Liam's arms and Johna's soothing voice.

She had cancer.

That's why she puked so much.

She was going to die. No chance of survival. The doctor told me that when I finally calmed down. Stupid doctor.

Liam held me as we walked to her room, but Johna had to stay behind.

I remember wanting to take her place so badly. She didn't deserve what she got. She had done nothing wrong. I deserved it. I was a horrible person. I deserved to cancer. I deserved to be sitting on my death bed.

"Lea?" she had said in a weak small voice.

"I'm right here." I felt warm tears begin to fall down my face.

She looked so small. So weak. So pale. She was way thinner.

"I love you" she was crying then.

"I love you too but you have to be strong." I let go of Liam's grasp. I walked over to her and sat down on her bed. "Be stronger than me at least."

She nodded and fell asleep. And I sat there. Eventually I felt Liam leave and Johna replace him. I only heard her heart beat. For weeks I sat there. I wouldn't eat. I wouldn't sleep. I wouldn't even cut. I only wanted to watch her.

As the life faded from her, my soul faded from me. I was a zombie. The only time I left the room was when she got bad and the doctors rushed in and the rushed me out.

Liam and Johna stopped coming. I missed finals at school.

May 10th, 2014 at 9:37 am she died.

She died on my birthday. What was left of my soul died on my birthday.

But I had always loved her. I loved her when her hair fell out. I loved her when she had to be fed through a tube. I loved her when she went through her 10 surgeries. I loved her even when they had to cut off her leg.

She was a real fighter. She was way stronger than me. She will ALWAYS be stronger than me.

She looked so very peaceful as she faded away.

Johna and Liam gave up on me sometime around April. I gave up on my self way before that.

A/N well. Umm. Ya. Please don't kill me for that ._. But all you Lea/Liam shippers got some action there. Next chapter will be really short and I'm sorry for that. It's for the sake of the story. And like I said before, leave questions down in the comments and I love you so much and thank you so much for 1,000 reads!!!!

Song I'm listening to now: Sick Sad World by Blood on the Dance Floor.

" The American dream has turned into a nightmare. The system is broken and unfair. The rich get richer from the blood of the working class. Let a poor family starve just to feed your greedy ass."
