I went to work the next day and everyone loved the color. "Who's it for this time" my boss asked. "Marci" "good choice she's been asking about you" I look up concerned. "Blue wing room 509" I nod in agreeing.
I knock on the door and the 14 year old leukemia patient told me to come in. "Ms. Collins" she says happily. "Mackenzie. Please call me that" "love the hair" "it's all for you Marci so Dr. Mike says you were asking about me" she pats her bed next to her. I sit down and look at her. "Do you have something you need to tell me" I looked at her confused. I've been gone for s week and she recently got admitted. Haven't even looked at her chart. I started to look worried. "You and a certain boy band member" she laughs. I look at her confused. "I know that was you. Your head was down but you can see your wrist tattoo and your little dimple on you chin. That's if you looked way into it" she says. "I um "!i stuttered. "Yeah yeah I'll keep a secret is that why you changed your hair color" she asks. "Sorta I needed a change and decided to pick you and your favorite color this time" I say smiling. "Thank you" and she leans in and gives me a hug. As I sit and ask her how's she's feeling I hear my name over head page. "Mackenzie Collins 54771 Mackenzie Collins 54771." "Please excuse me Marci I have to take that. I'll see you later" and I getup towards the phone.
I'm sitting in this meeting about this charity dinner we are putting on. "Mackenzie can you find someone for music. " I shake my head yes. I know NicknJonas was starting his new album and he'll be more than happy to do a few songs. "Also we need someone to coordinate some of the patients that want to sing a few songs about beating and dealing with cancer. Also each wing will do a video. We have Carl's Video Production coming in 2 days to film. So if you work you will be there. Any suggestions." Our president John Roberts say. "I think Mackenzie is a great singer and can coordinate something of songs" Michelle says winking at me. mr. Roberts looks at me and of course I agree.
The meeting finished and I finished my day and headed home. I feel my phone vibrate when I got home and received s text from Niall.

I was so excited Niall coming back and staying in 2 weeks. And he'll be at charity event. I wonder how we are going to act. Hmmm.
The next to weeks were busy. Between working, group, I had to help with rehearsals with a few girls. I had 4 acts set up different ages. The first one Mary Jones, 16, singing Roar by Katy Perry, Ally Donald's, 6, singing let it go from frozen which I'll be helping her with. Mike Beacon singing Demons, 15. And lastly I've been working on a song and Cali Miller will be helping me sing it. She's 13 with an amazing voice.
nick agreed to do a few songs and I was all excited. I haven't seen him nor heard him sing in forever. Everything was going as planned. I was in our last rehearsal with the kids. "Great job kids I'll see Sat" and give them all hugs.
===========================
The night of the charity event is today and I'm so nervous. Especially because three out of four of my favorite boys I care about will be there and I will be performing.
It's 430 and Niall and Harry flight should be landing soon. It took off an hour late so they are going to meet me there. I text the address and told them I'll see them later.
As I was getting all the kids ready and relax to perform I felt a hand in my shoulder. I turn around and see Mr. Roberts. "Thank you for everything miss Collins." "Your welcome Mr. Roberts."
An hour goes by and Nick is performing just after dinner. I haven't seen Niall nor Harry at all. I look at my watch and notice it was a little passed 9. As it was our time to head up on stage. I go up and announce each one starting with Mary jones. She sung wonderful and everyone clapped.
"Next I have the honor to sing with one of the most amazing young girls I met about 4 months ago. Give a warm welcome to Ally Donalds singing Let it go. I think I'm more nervous than she." As everyone laughs. We sing the song. And my nerves are a little relaxed but still haven't seen Niall nor Harry. I hope nothing happened.
I introduce mike Beacon and he sings perfect.
I look out and I notice a little uproar. I see Niall and Harry coming in. Niall looking for me but frowns when he couldn't find me. I smile and Cali says "why are you smiling" I just shrug.
"Alright. How's everyone tonight enjoying your evening?" I asked as everyone cheers. I look over to where Niall and Harry where siting and he looks shocked but nods and smiles. I smile back.
"I wrote this final song about a year ago. I have the pleasure to have Cali Miller helping me sing. Also I have the pleasure of Nick Jonas one of my best friends with the piano." I turn around and Cali and Nick come out.
Nick starts with the piano I look at him and he gives me a smile for reassurance. I start the song:
This is a story that I never told
I have to get this off my chest to let go
As I sing the rest of the verse and Chorus Cali comes in and sings the second verus and we both sing the third and finish the chorus
I'm a warrior
I got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor
It shines just like a shield
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again.
We get a standing ovation and I walk over to Cali and giver her s hug whispering "great job" she smiles and we bow.
I walk back stage and meet Nick and give him a hug. He had to go and told me I did a great job. He had a plane at 340am to New York. Don't kiss his cheek and set him off. I go out to met up with Niall and Harry. I get bombarded by everyone. As I make my emery to their table Harry gets up and gives me a hug then Niall does. I didn't expect what I got from Niall but he kissed me and I felt flashes go off. I look for explanation from Niall and he just smiles and whispers in my ear. "It's ok. Relax. That's why we're late we got bombarded and it sorta skipped out"
"I love the hair" Harry says. Thanks I mutters. "So who knew you had vocals" NIALL says. I shrug. "It was nothing just helping out" "yeah but you wrote that song and sing it it was amazing" Harry said.
As the night went on we had a few drinks and danced while we all mingled. My boss took a picture of me and Niall since we looked adorable.
We headed home but Harry ended up heading home with one of the nurses from one of the floors.
As we get into my car Niall smiles and intertwines our fingers kissing my hsnd.
