BLAIR'S POV

Beep, beep, beep, beep- My eyes immediately opened up at the sound of the monitor. I looked around confused of where I was. I moved my arm and winced from the feeling of the IV shoved into the inside of my arm. To the right was a TV mounted on the wall and a simple table with a vase full of sunflowers. My favorite. I slowly turned my head to the left and saw my two favorite ladies huddled together on plastic-looking chairs.

"Mom? Ali?"

Ali's eyes popped open and stood up so quickly that she made my Mom fall out of the seat.

"BLAIR BEAR! How do you feel, girly?! Can I get you anything?! CAN SOMEONE GO GET THE DOCTOR!"

"Geez, you just calm down! I'm fine! Well, I mean, I think I am, what's happened?!"

My mom walked over to the side of my bed and stroked my cheek, "I love you Blair, I'm glad your feeling better. You, well, we've found out you've had a tumor."

A tumor? Seriously?! And to think I was healthy and everything was just dandy - Bullcrap!

The door swung open and the Doctor walked in, "Hello there, Blair. Seems to me like you'd like to get some answers for those questions I see swarming in your brain."

I rolled my eyes, "That'd be nice."

The Doctor grabbed a stool and pulled it up next to the hospital bed with his clipboard in hand.

"The good news is that the tumor has been removed from your brain." Mom sighed with relief.

I moved my hand up to my head and gasped, my head was wrapped in a bandage and my hair was gone. My long, luscious hair was GONE.

"It's a good thing your Mother caught you with all those symptoms yesterday because we got to remove the tumor in the knick of time!"

"Well, thank you? I think?"

"Your very welcome. Now, I know that was just a vague explanation for why your here, so if you don't mind, I'd like to be able to ask you a question."

"That's fine."

"Excellent. Do you remember any symptoms that you might of had?"

"Uh, headaches. But I figured that was just 'cause of my monthly gift or whatever. I've been dizzy, my visions been blurry. Just weird things that have popped up."

"Those aren't random things, Miss Castro. Those are the symptoms I've been talking about. Seems to me like you've had this tumor building up recently, which is better than if it had been growing for some time now."

I looked up through my eye lashes embarrassed of how I looked, "When will my hair grow back?"

I glanced from the Doctor to Ali, who smiled at me sadly.

"Well, Miss Castro-"

"Blair. Just Blair."

"Yes, Blair. It'll take some time. Feel free to purchase a wig if it makes you feel more comfortable."

"You look just as beautiful with a buzz cut, Blair-" Niall projected. WAIT! NIALLER!

I looked in the door's direction and five boys stood grinning in the doorway. Niall was holding a Get Well Soon Teddy-Bear.

"-A wig isn't neccesary. You, my friend, have true beauty." Lou added. Whoa, Lou just told me I had natural beauty... This is insane.

Ni walked forward and handed me the little stuffed bear, "This is for you, American."

"Thanks, Irish. I love it."

"Well, let me go get your nurse, Cynthia, so she can check to make sure your A-okay and I'll let you socialize some, Miss Blair."

"My boys are back! Superman is here to save me!" I smiled.

The boys ran up to me and all piled on top.

"HEY! I haven't gotten a Blair Bear hug yet! NO FAIR!"

"You snooze you loose, Bitch." I winked at Ali.

Mom gasped, "BLAIR ANGELA CASTRO. No vulgar language!"

"Sorry Mooommm..."

My mom kissed my cheek, "I'm gonna go get some coffee. You all be good," she said while pointing at each of us with her eyes squinted together.

After the boys all settled in the room, with Ali laying next to me in my little hospital bed, the questions started flying at me.

Lou moved his head to the side, "Are you afraid of needles? 'Cause one's in your arm-"

"Does it hurt?" Niall winced, waiting for my answer.

"Who undresses you when you go to the ER?" Harry winked.

"Yeah! For all we know they could be pervs..." A disgusted Liam added.

"When do you get to wear those cool bandanas?" Zayn asked.

"-ENOUGH!" Ali yelled, "Give her a break boys, we all have questions, but this is very new to Blair and let's give her some time, Okay?"

I noticed Haz smiling while Ali took control over the situation, aren't they cute?! Then I started smiling daydreaming of their future wedding... Me as the maid-of-honor, of course.

BLAIR. FOCUS. Your 'angry' at Lou for starting the questions! What? We need some entertainment and humor in this dull, tiled, place...

I pouted my bottom lip, "Yeah, Lou, stop making me overwhelmed."

Niall shoved Louis' arm, "Nice going, lad! You hurt the lady's feelings!"

Lou frowned, "I'm sorry, I'll go in time out! I mean, if they have one here, but technically they do since the waiting room chairs are torture."

This time my frown was sincere, "I didn't mean for this to be so intense that you all had to show up and sit in those uncomfortable chairs and hurt yourselves. All for me."

Ali rubbed my arm, "Girl, you mean the world to me. To us. We would be here in a flash. You should've seen me, I was running out the door pushing the boys into our car! Talk about chaos! Your lover over there," Ali pointed to Niall, " decided to try and grab a sandwich before we left! What's wrong with hospital food!?"

We all stared at her with shock, "EVERYTHING!"

Ali smiled meekly and giggled, "Whoops... that failed."

~~

The boys had to leave early for an interview but Ali and Mom stayed with me. I should've asked the Doctor how long I'd be stuck in here, and I should probably learn his last name. Where's a sticky pad when I need one?!

I eventually fell asleep and when I woke up, the clock was at 2:35 AM. Everyone was back. The boys were thoughtful and brought blankets and sleeping bags for everybody and the group was sprawled out in front of my bed on the floor.

This felt right. Ali, Mom, and One Direction - the new addition to my family.
