The Fighter and the Bad Boy

Chapter 1- reworked

Marie POV

I sat in my hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come back to the room with the results. Staring mindlessly at the wall, I decided to turn on the TV hanging from the ceiling. "Breaking news: Asher Louis seen sneaking out of someone's apartment last night after the MTV award show. Who is the next girl in Asher's parade of girls? Will he finally settle down?"

They showed some pictures of the scandal and I changed the channel, this gossip was pointless, people do what they want and only they will change that. I turned on reruns of Friends, wishing that I was like them because they all seemed so happy together. I hadn't had a real friend, other than Clara, for two years because all of my so called friends couldn't handle my cancer.

I am grateful for Clara, she's the only person I had since my dad bolted because of my cancer and my mom turned to drugs and alcohol blaming me. And I blamed me too, I hated myself, but I had to keep trying for Clara, she wants me to fight. So that is what I did, for the past two years I fought but my funds are running low and I am tired of fighting, it has broken me down.

"Marie your results are back," the Doctor told me as he walked into the room, "The cancer in your lungs has shrunk some, if you want to go home for two weeks you can, until your next appointment that is."

I knew he didn't really want me to go but he knew I didn't have enough money to stay. I agreed even though I would be going home to her, my mom.

Asher POV

"Asher hurry up, management wants to talk about the latest scandal!" That was Dylan as he yelled from downstairs.

"Ugh, but Dylan it wasn't even a scandal this time, I was visiting a friend!"

"Sure you were Asher." I could tell Dylan didn't really believe me and he shouldn't because it was a hookup.

*after car ride to management*

Sam, out manager, stared at me angrily and I knew I was in trouble. "Dylan, this needs to stop, your ruining yours and the bands reputation."

"I'm sorry Sam it won't happen again."

"Don't make promises you can't keep. Your actions have consequences. Management is finding someone to hire to be your fake girlfriend." I looked at him shocked, this could not be happening. I looked at the other guys who were looking anywhere but at me.

Looks like this is happening I thought, so I did something that shocked them all, I said, "Fine."
