"You're free to leave the room at any time, Alanna." Nurse Carter informed me as she walked past my door in the hall.

 Zayn eyed me nervously. "What?" I asked, my eyebrows raising. 

"We have to leave town tomorrow." Harry mumbled from the corner of the room.

 "What, why?" Cofusion inched onto my facial features. Liam sighed from next to me. 

 He stated, "We have a tour to finish. Concert tonight, on the road tomorrow." Tears threatened to escape my eyes as I processed his words. Yeah, it had only been three days, but I had grown attached to all of these boys, especially Zayn. Zayn and I had a sort of connection, something that sort of scared me. The way a shiver shoots up my spine each time his fingers clasp mine, every time my stomach flips with the warmth of his hugs. But he has to leave you! A little voice inside my head yelled at me. My heart shattered at these words. Yeah, I was jus barely seventeen, but I don't think I could leave this boy. My eyes locked with those of Zayn. We just sat and looked at each other, our eyes telling a story, the story of our thoughts. I stared into those little brown orbs, memorizing the way his pupils got smaller when the sun shone in his eyes, recognizing the hint of yellow near his iris. I was going to miss him, and from what I could tell, he'd miss me too.

"It sucks that we have to leave Alanna!" Louis fake cryed into the crook of Harry's neck. Harry soothed him by rubbing his back.

 "We can visit soon though, and skype her." Liam reminded the rest of us. We all nodded, Niall being the only one to speak.

"What's that necklace you're wearing?" His irish accent was evident in some words as his hand gestured to the pendant around my neck. 

I gave a small smile. "Nurse Carter and Doctor Nielson gave it to me as a birthday gift." I undid the clasp and passed it to him so he could see it.

"Keep fighting and stay strong." He read off of the engravings. Flipping it over, he recited the words Dr.Nielson put down. "You can do anything if you try." A small smile graced everyone's lips, including Doctor Nielson's. The doctor strolled into the room just as Niall began reading the engravings. 

"It's true, Alanna here can do anything if she puts her heart to it." The doctor grinned. "but unfortuanately I bring bad news." His face fell, as well as the rest of ours. 

"Boys?" I gestured to the door. One by one, they stood and left, Zayn shutting the door behind him.

The doctor eyed me. "Alanna, we need to get the tumor removed tomorrow morning. We can't wait to do the surgery in two weeks, it has to be done now." Seeing the confusion on my face, he explained further. "The tumor is getting too big. Soon it'll start to affect your vision and speech. We want to remove it before it can progress that far." I nodded solemnly and he left the room, five familiar faces coming in immediately after.

"What was that all about?" Zayn questioned curiously. 

My eyes met his. "I won't be able to say goodbye to you guys, last minute surgery."
