I'll Be Here for Forever || z.m.

Chapter Thirteen

*Kendall's P.O.V*

My hair continued to fall out over the course of the next two weeks. More so after my second session of chemo. I kept finding chunks of hair on my pillow or my hands or my hair brush or at the bottom of the tub until I had about seven bald spots. I decided to just get it shaved off.

Reese took me to the salon to get it done, and we decided that we would just make a day of it.

When I walked into the salon, a little girl who must've been the hair dresser's daughter came running up to me.

"Mommy! Mommy! It's Kendall!" She shouted to her mom while jumping up and down in front of me.

"I see that," Her mom said.

"I'm your biggest fan!" She said to me.

"Is that right?" I asked. "What's your name, sweetie?"

"Emma," She grinned at me, showing me that her two front teeth were missing.

"Well, hello, Emma!" I smiled. Little girls like these are the ones who keep me going.

"Can I get a picture with you?" She asked.

"Of course! Do you have a camera?"

"I have my phone," Her mom said, pulling out an iPhone. "Say cheese!"

"Cheese!" Both of us said in unsion as the flash went off.

"Thank you!" Emma exclaimed.

"You're welcome!"

"Do you have an appointment sweetie?" Her mom asked. I guess she ran the place.

"Yeah, I have a haircut for one thirty and both me and her have mani pedis for two." I gestured to Reese who was sitting on the couch in the waiting area reading a magazine.

"Alright, you can head back with me," She went to the back of the room where the sinks were.

"I don't need a wash, just a buzz." I said, blushing.

"Alright," She said.

I sat down in the chair she told me to, and she asked me to remove my hat.

I did as I was told, and Emma came over.

"Kendall, what happened to your hair?" She asked.

"Emma! Mommy's working, go play," Her mom scolded her.

"No, no it's okay," I said, turning to Emma. "Emma, I'm sick. And the medicine that they give me makes my hair fall out."

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked, taken aghast by these news.

"I'll be fine, I just need to find some pretty hats," I laughed.

"I'm sorry about that," The hairdresser said after she had run off.

"No, it's okay, really. Some fans or people are too afraid to ask me what's wrong, but, really, I like putting a different spin each time."

She laughed. "I'm Jen by the way."

Jen buzzed all of my gorgeous blonde hair off, then sent us over to the pedicure chairs.

I barely payed attention as I snapped a pic and posted it to instagram and twitter.

I'm all shiny and new! xoxo! #Fighting #Happy #Thanksfortheprayers

Eleven thousand likes in five minutes, all of the comments positive. I made it my profile picture.

I then opened Keek, and began making my next Video entry.

I clicked record.

"Hi everyone! Kendall here! I'm at the salon right now with my good friend, Reese," I flipped the camera so It was facing her. She smiled and waved. "As you all know, I do have Acute Lymphoblastic Lieukimia. I just started Chemo two weeks ago, and my hair started to fall out last friday. I got it all shaved off, and hopefully I make it through chemo to grow it back. From what I've read, it grows back really fast, so that's good, right? I'm so greatful for all of you, and thank you for all of your prayers." I blew a kiss and closed the camera. I put the same caption on there as I had on my picture.

"They really do love you, you know." Reese said, her eyes closed as the chair massaged her.

"Who?" I looked at her.

"Your fans,"

I didn't know what to say to that.

We finished the day off with Starbucks. We were going to go shopping, but I was exausted.

She dropped me at my hotel. I figured the boys would be in Liam and Lou's room, and I was right.

I went right in. There was Danielle and Elle, sitting on one of the beds talking. The boys were squished onto, or scattered around, the other one, all asleep.

"Kendall, you look so good!" Danielle exclaimed.

"Why thank you!"

Eleanor laughed. "You look fab." She said in an overly exagerated way.

"The boys are all asleep?"

"Yep," Danielle sighed. "They sat down for twenty minutes and fell asleep. Classic boys."

"Shhh!" I put a finger to my lips and tip toed over to where Zayn was snoring on the floor. I layed down next to him and said, "Hey, Zaynie!"

"Hmmm?"

"Wake up!" I shook him.

His eyes snapped open. "Hey gorgeous!" He mumbled.

"Hey," I smiled.

Eleanor and Danielle 'awww'd.

"How do you like it?" He asked.

"It's alright, my heads just cold." I pretended to shiver.

He took the beanie he was wearing off of his head and placed it on my own, then wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. "Better?"

"Much," I laughed. I was so lucky, even though this is probably the most unluckiest thing that could happen to a person.
