Chapter Ten: Good Day, Good News

**Niall's POV**

It's been a week since my last hallucination. I've been to the doctors for more check-ups and told them all about how I plan on living out the rest of my life. I met with some of the other cancer patients, ones who decided to take chemotherapy, and was told multiple things- some of them not too nice. A couple of them told me they wished they hadn't taken chemotherapy at all, and that's when I really felt sorry for them. Anyways, it took a week of research and tests to fully understand my cancer.

After a long phone call with my dad, I found out that Pancreatic Cancer actually ran in our family, just missing him. More causes of the deadly disease in my body was my total recklessness in food consumption, I liked to eat and never really thought about what I was putting into my body. The same came to my drinking alcohol. I loved to just let go and drink and drink and drink. Zayn's smoking also turned out to be a cause, especially since I was around him so often.

When it came down to it, in one week I had learned more about the disease and what to expect throughout my fight. It made me less scared of the future, and also helped out the boys in knowing what to do. It only took one week to really understand my body and what I had to do in order to keep it functioning.

Also in the last week, my doctor had advised me to start writing things down, such as my feelings towards things and what I was thinking on the daily basis. That's what I was doing right now in fact, scribbling words on to papers that I had no intention of having the other boys see. Maybe when I was gone...but not until then.

"Nialler?" A knock on the door comes from behind me and I shove the notebook under my pillow.

"Yeah? Come in Zayn," I shout towards the door and it opens, revealing a smiling Zayn. "What's up?"

"This is our last day here and then Liam wants to fly to New York. We were thinking of doing the whole stand on torch item on your bucket list," Zayn says as he pulls out a copy of the bucket list in his pocket. All the boys had made copies of it in order to "keep track" of it all.

"Alright, so what're we doing today?" I ask and he looks back down at the list.

"Well, there are a ton of easy ones. You feel like dressing up in some heels?" Zayn jokes and I throw a pillow at him. He dodges it and laughs loudly. "I guess not. How about we just go to a store and buy a bunch of stuff and pay with Monopoly money?" He reads off the paper and I smile widely. That actually sounds fun, and I know we could use some snacks for the plan ride and the air port and the ride to the airport. Mmm food.

"Alright let's do that one! We could buy a whole bunch of snacks for the- what?" I ask when Zayn just looks at me with his arms crossed.

"You can't eat all that junk anymore Niall. It's bad for you," he says smartly and I glare at him.

"All I'm asking for is one cupcake. Maybe two. And some-"

"Niall! You know you have to be on a certain diet," Zayn says and I hang my head.

"I know."

"Alright, well hurry up and get ready. I'll get the other boys," he says before walking out of the room.

Darn Zayn. Darn strict food diet. How was I going to survive without food?!

"Is this even safe?" I ask as Liam finishes pouring out mayo from its jar. "I really don't want to taste the mayo," I say as Liam scratches at the bottom with the spoon.

"Oh come on Niall, where's the fun?" Harry laughs from beside me already eating one of the pudding cups.

"Besides, this is your chance to eat something not healthy," Louis says matter-of-factly and dips a finger into Harry's pudding.
