Stay With Me Through This Darkness (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 17

Harry's pov

"Yes I am finally breaking out of here." I said as we got the last thing into my mom's car.

"Yep and you don't have to come back there for a week then once you get back you have a week of chemo before we have to do a scan to check on that tumor in your head." The doctor told me.

After I said goodbye to all of the doctors and nurses I climbed into my mom's car and we left.

We decided that we wanted go go out to eat ice cream before we went to my house. Before we got out I put my favorite green hat on thay Louis had given me. He had a matching one. We went inside and got our ice cream before sitting down. It was a little hot in the ice cream shop so I took my hat off and put it on the table beside me.

"Mommy why does that guy have no hair is he sick?" A little girl asked her mom right behind me.

"Abigail you can not just say stuff like that. That is rude go apologize to him." Her mom said. I turned to look at the girl and her mom and the mother mouthed sorry.

"Oh no it's fine she is just curious. You right I am sick Abigail. I am getting medicine that will help me get better but it made my hair come out." I explained to the little girl.

"Will your hair come back though." Her mom gave me an apologetic look.

"Yes it will. Would you two like to come sit with us?" I offered to them.

"No we have to get going but thank you for not getting mad at her for asking questions I am still trying to teach her that she can not just shout things like that because it might upset some people." Her mom told me.

"I don't mind at all. I know that kids will be kids and they get curious some times." I told her and we said bye and her and her daughter walked out the door. I turned back to the table and everyone was looking at me.

"What do I have ice cream on my face or something." I asked them.

"No it's just amazing how you were so good with the little kid." Niall said.

We kept eating until we all had finished when Nick walked in with some of his friends. He has a big bruise on his cheek and he has a black eye from fighting Louis yesterday. He saw us and he came over. When Louis and Liam saw him they both stood in front of me while Niall stood beside me.

"Well what do you know it's the hairless freak and his squad of freaks." Nick said.

"What do you want Nick?" Liam asked.

"What cam I not just have a talk with my friends from my old team?"

"You stopped being our friend when you decided to talk bad about Harry." Louis said.

"What did I offend you when I said something boo hoo man up and learn to take a comment." Nick said looking at me. I pushed pass all of them and ran to my mom's car.

"Harry what's wrong why are you crying. Did something happen in the ice cream shop?" My mom asked.

I had not even realized that I was crying until my mom said that. I wiped a tear from my cheek while my mom pulled me into a hug. When I calmed down I saw the boys walk out of the store and get back into the car. Louis wrapped his arms around me and hugged me until my mom started driving.

"I am so sorry about Nick. Before he moved to that new school he did not act like that. I had no clue he was going to treat you like that." Louis said.

"Lou it's not your fault. It's okay I am not going to let one guy get to me. Now let's go to my house and watch some movies and order some pizza alright." I told him.

When we got to my house we all sat in the living room watching movie. It was me and Lou cuddling on one couch while Niall and Liam were cuddled up on the other couch. Louis laid his head on my chest and I was running my fingers through his hair until I fell asleep.

I woke up and I was feeling sick so I got out from Louis without waking him up and I ran to the bathroom in time to empty the contents of my stomach into the toilet. After five minutes I felt someone placing their hand on my back and rubbing circles on it.

"You okay Haz? Do I need to go wake up Louis or your mom?" Niall asked me.

"No I am fine. This is just because I had chemo this morning or yesterday depending on what time it is. I will be fine can you just sit with me though." I told him.

"Yeah of course I will sit with you. You do know that all of us are here for you right. You already know that Louis will not let anyone talk bad about you and I had to hold Liam back from killing Nick in the ice cream shop after you ran out. I think that if Louis had not broken his hand yesterday I would have to hold both of them back."

"Yeah I don't know why I ran out of there today because the bully at my old school would call me a hairless freak all the time at my old school before I left and it brought back some bad memories."

"Well if you and done getting sick then we can go to your room and we can talk about this if you want to." Niall said. I nodded my head and stood up to brush my teeth while Niall flushed the toilet.

"Actually can I be honest with you?" I asked him looking at my lap.

"Yeah of course you can what are friends for if they can not be honest with them." Niall told me as we sat on my bed.

"You can't tell Lou anything that I am about to tell you because he will try to change my mind about it but I have made up my mind."

"Of course anything you tell me will stay between the two of us."

"When I go get the scans to see how my cancer is doing if it is not getting better or if it has gotten worse I don't think I want to continue with the treatment. It is making me tired and sick all the time and I hate it." I tell him wiping a tear from my cheek. Niall wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

"Hey it's you decision and I am sure Lou will support your decision even if he does not agree with it. He loves you Harry and he always will." He tells me.

"I don't want Lou to know because he will think that I have given up. That is not true. I have been fighting for so long and I am sick and tired of fighting. Everyone is always telling me that I am strong and that I can get through this but I don't think that I am string enough to get through this. I hate always feeling weak and sick. I also want to stop with the treatment because I hate how people have been judging me because I am sick. Everyone looks at me with so much pity when they find out that I have cancer. They all start to treat me different because I am sick and I hate it. I am so tired of people of people acting like I am going to die at any minute." I tell him.

After he told me that we heard someone gasp and start running down the stairs. Niall and I looked at each other with panic in our eyes. We walk into the living room and we find Louis still asleep on the couch and Liam was no where to be found.

"Hey it's okay I will call him and get him to come back. He is probably just be upset." Niall told me.

"Whose upset about what? Wait where is Liam?" Louis asked up. Niall and I looked at each other and shrugged at him.
