Chapter 28

*4 weeks later*

Katie’s POV

“What do you mean, you don’t believe me? You really think I’d lie about something like this?!” I yelled down Louis’ phone. I had been trying to call Zara for the past week and came to the conclusion that if I phoned from Louis’ phone she’s answer because she doesn’t have his number. “You’re my best friend Zara and you think that I would lie about having cancer? You know what, I don’t even care anymore, but don’t cry to Lou saying how much to miss me when I’m gone.” I growled, before hanging up in frustration.

“Don’t throw my phone at the wall.” Louis yelled running in a grabbing it from me. He slipped it in his pocket before wrapping his arms around me and hugging me tightly. “Sssh, if she doesn’t believe you then she’s not worth your time.” Louis soothed my sobs, stroking my thin, limp hair.

“Ew, I’m gonna be sick.” I said disgustedly running towards the bathroom making it just in time, as I coughed my guts up, blood and all. “Lou, there was blood. Again.” I sighed before brushing my teeth.

“I’m sorry sweetheart, it’s just one of the side effects of the tablets I guess.” He kissed the top of my head affectionately. “Why don’t you get changed and then we’ll watch movies and eat ice cream, yeah?” Lou suggested, pointing to some vomit and blood on my top. I nodded and padded across the hall to my room. I tugged off my leggings and t-shirt and pulled on some Jack Wills sweats, a vest top and one of Louis’ hoodies and I had been ‘borrowing’ for the past 5 weeks. I kept my glasses on and tied my hair in a messy pony tail again. I didn’t bother with make-up; normally I would have done but not anymore. My face looks sunken, my eyes are circled with dark bags, my hair is thin and limp, my body and getting weaker.

I grabbed my phone and wandered slowly into the lounge, plonking myself on Louis’ lap.

“Where is everyone?” I asked, resting my head against his chest.

“Just out, they’ll be back later.” He replied unconvincingly. “You pick the movie and I’ll get some snacks!” Lou cheered quickly changing the subject.

Louis’ POV

She can’t find out where they’ve gone. It’s a surprise. New York tickets for next week and just a little extra something special, she just cannot find out yet!

I grabbed a few bags of  popcorn and tipped them into a bowl some haribo and a couple of cans of coke.

“What are we watching then?” I asked, setting everything down on the coffee table.

“’Despicable Me.’” Katie smiled, pressing play, curling up on the sofa and wrapping a blanket around herself. She looked tiny. She’d become very fragile recently and she just looked so small, powerless. And she was; she has no control over any of this. Katie is literally being killed whilst being alive. And that tears my heart apart.

Zara’s POV

“What do you mean she’s not lying?” I asked Luke, stirring my milky tea.

“I mean that she’s not lying Z. Katie has cancer, she’s dying and probably crying after what you said.” Luke snarled, standing up and leaving me alone in Starbucks.

Realisation hit me, Katie wouldn’t lie about this. She wouldn’t lie about anything. I’m such an idiot. I let Connor trick me into thinking that she was in the wrong. I’m an awful friend.
