Saving Her

Chapter 16: Please No

*** Jezebel's POV ***

I drop to my knees.

"She's dead?" I ask.

"We did everything we could but in the end the cancer won." Dr. Rivers says gently putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Please no." I say.

*** Harry's POV ***

When Jezebel said those two words, it was like the light in her eyes just went out. She stood up and sat back down next to Zayn, who was sobbing.

I watched as she wrapped an arm around him but there was nothing in her eyes. It was like she had lost all of her fire.

After the doctor had left, a nurse came in.

"Nadya asked me to give these to you." She says, handing me a stack of envelopes tied together with a single pink ribbon. "I'm sorry for your loss. She was a really great girl."

I nod and thank her and hand them to each person. When I got to the envelope with Jezebel's name written on it, in Nadya's elegant script, I tucked it into my pocket.

I sat down next to Jezzie and read my letter. I felt the tears start to run down my face as I read it.

"Dear Harry,

I don't know what to say. You have done so much for me and Jezebel. You have watched out for the both of us. I know that you and the other boys were paying my medical bills. I will never be upset about that because I also know how many jobs that Jezzie was working. You have done so much for my family. You have become apart of my family. Don't let her push you away when I die. Save her because she has spent too many years trying to save me. Thank you Harry and tell her I love her. I hope one day you will truly be apart of her family. I love you too Harry.

Nadya."

I put my face in my hands and I sob. I sob for me, for Nadya, and for Jezebel. I look over at Jezzie and she is still staring straight ahead with no emotion. I wipe my face and take a couple deep breaths.

"Let's go home guys." I say. They all nod and stand except for Jezebel. I quickly pick her up and we all head down to my car.

We all pile in and I drive us all back to our building. The car is silent except for a sniffle every now and again. When we get there, we head inside with Louis carrying Jezebel.

We all pile into Louis and I's flat. I take Jezebel and sit down on the couch and place her in my lap.

"I'll order some take out." Louis says. We all sit on the couch and look around at each other, feeling Nadya's absence.

About twenty minutes later, the delivery guy shows up at the door. Louis came back and set down the boxes of pizza on the table. We sat there quietly eating our pizza.

"Y'know pizza was Nadya's favorite food." I say.

"She was always asking for it when we would stay in." Zayn says, truly smiling for the first time in days.

"She was basically addicted to it." I say smiling as well. We all laugh at that. It feels so good to truly laugh. I glance down at Jezzie, who is resting her head on my chest. She is still staring at nothing.

I don't know what to do about this. The girl I love is hurting and I have no idea how to help her. We have to go on tour in two days. I don't think I can leave her.

"Harry." Jasmine says seeming to catch on to my train of thought. "I can take care of her while you're gone."

"Thank you, Jazzie." I say. I stand up with Jezebel still in my arms.

"I'm taking her to bed. Anyone can stay here or over at Jezebel's flat." I say throwing my keys to Liam.

"Goodnight." They all chorus.

"She'll make it. She's strong." Niall says.

I nod. I hope I can save her.

A/N

Just a quick bit, the real Nadya is not dead or dying I promise. She is a stressed, boy band obsessed and very much alive teenage girl.
