Chapter 4

Niall’s Pov 

She said that her name was Mercedez and I instantly thought of the car reminding me that we really had to leave. As each of us sign a piece of paper for her and go out the door of the hospital I feel as if I have left something behind, but I quickly shake the feeling away.

We are about half way back to the really cheap hotel that we are staying at because of lack of funds when I realize that I had left my phone at the hospital. I had gotten it out to take a picture with her but never got a chance. I quickly tell the boys and get security to drive me back alone so that the boys could explore our hotel a little more. I quickly jump out of the van and go into the hospital for the second time that day. When I go down to the recovery room I spot the familiar nurse from earlier.

“Hey is Mercedez still in?” I ask.

“No she left but hasn’t checked out of the hospital yet, I would look in the Children’s infusion bay. She had appointment rescheduled. I can trust that you are her brother right?” Uhhh what was I going to do, I needed my phone and what was the thing she had mentioned earlier?  

“Yes. Thank you for your time.” I walk up to the place she directed me to according to the big hospital map in the lobby. I pass the children’s cancer center and remove my shades to wipe away the tears threatening their way down my face. I hurry past till I see the infusion bay.

“I am here to see Mercedez.” I say to the woman behind the desk she glances up at me gives me a pass and gives me directions. I find my way to the room and see her in another hospital bed. Why was she still here if she got released? I open up her door and startle her so much she nearly rips the wires away from her. Her hat falls a little to the side and before she could fix it I see blonde strips in her light brown hair, that wasn’t there before.

“No, no you can’t see this side of me please! Here is your phone I don’t want it, go, please!” she sounded so angry but I could tell she was breaking on the inside. I sat down in a kiddie chair across the tiny room from her. I took my phone went to the camera app turned the flash on and took her picture. She was so shocked she stopped yelling. She starts to say something but I cut her off. “I made sure you got the job at Nando’s. I also don’t think of you any different after seeing, I gestured around the room and at her IV, this.” I meant it. But I wanted to know what was wrong with her. She took a deep breath then began.

“Well I have a immune deficiency and I’m very sensitive to radiation as well. I get these every month it’s really expensive like $3000 per appointment. I will do theses 5 hour appointments till the day I die. I wasn’t born with this it started when I was 13. I am diagnosed with Ligase Four Deficiency.” She said this all with a nauseated look on her face.

“I don’t think that’s that bad. It is what makes you different.” I am trying to be reassuring but I am still shocked.

“In a bad way. I can’t travel for more than a month, have to wear sunscreen everywhere. Do you know how they diagnose what I have? You have to have more than three mutations in you DNA. I’m a freak.” She was crying, obviously she had been keeping this to herself far too long. She kept going. “Everyone around me  is just so normal and they are so perfect. I have nothing going for me. I am not even pretty. Thanks to my sensitive the sun has given me so many freckles and moles not even foundation works. Oh and everyone treats me like a child cause I’m 5’1”.”

She reached up to wipe her tears out of her eyes, but she was gripping the chair with one hand and the other had to remain still so I leaned forward and wiped them way with my thumb.

“Why haven’t you run away from me yet? I don’t understand?” She looked me eye for the first time since I met her.  

“Like I said it’s what makes you, you. If people can’t accept you for all of you including this then don’t mind them and focus on the people who can. I liked you when I meet you but thought you needed some confidence. And guess what I like you know even more. I don’t think you’re a freak or that you’re weak, I think I just happen to be the person you needed to lean on for a moment of need.”

 I really admired her for telling me. Since she just meet me and all, but I’m glad I was there for her.    

“I really need to go. Stay strong, and know someone will always love you even if it feels like you’re alone.” I get up and walk out.

As I am leaving I go into the children’s cancer center and sign the band up to sing what makes you beautiful to the children and teens. I get a guitar from a child life volunteer and sing to the beautiful bald children in the waiting room.

Millions of pictures, autographs, and promises to be back with the rest later I leave the hospital feeling much better than I did when I came in.
