Hi! So, this idea came to me and I thought it would be interesting to write about. This is my first story so it won't be great, but I'll try. Enjoy & review please :) This story is about cancer, and I did a lot of research about it before writing it. So, I'm not sure if it will sound professional when I get to explaining the cancer stuff. Enjoy though :)
Katie's Pov:
I woke up in a sweat and looked at the clock. It was 2:34am, I sighed. This was like the 10th time this week I woke up with a night sweat. I got out of bed and decided
to get some water from the kitchen. I had to be quiet, because I did not want to wake anybody up. After I got a glass of water and was sitting down on the couch, I
heard foot steps. I sighed and turned around to see who it was. "What are you doing awake at this time, sweetie?" I heard my mom's caring voice. "I was thirsty and I
couldn't sleep that good." I answered. "Are you okay? You look sick." My mom said and sat down next to me. "I'm fine." I lied. Honestly, I felt horrible and sick lately. I
had no idea what was wrong with me. Before I could say anything else, my mom was feeling my forehead for a fever. "I'm not sick, mom." I sighed. "You're burning up"
my mom said, she looked really worried. I rolled my eyes, "I think once I get a good night's sleep, I'll be fine in the morning." I said. "How about you take some advil
and then go to sleep?" mom suggested. "Fine" I said while rolling my eyes. After taking an advil, I went back to bed. I didn't realize how tired I really was, because
within two minutes, I was asleep again.
I woke up the next morning with a start. I could not stop coughing. I decided to just ignore it, thinking it was just a cold or something, and I got ready for the day. I
walked into the living room to see my older brother, Kendall, and his three friends. "Hey baby sister" Kendall said. "Hi" I replied, before having a cough attack again.
All four of them gave me concerned looked, and Kendall walked over to me. "Baby sister, are you okay?" he asked. I did not want anybody to worry about me, I was
fine. "Yeah, probably just allergies or something." I said, trying to stop coughing. I sat down on the couch, and they were all still giving me worried looks. I rolled my
eyes, "I'm fine, really." Finally, I stopped coughing for a few minutes. Why was I having a hard time breathing lately? "Where's mom?" I asked. "She got called into
work." Kendall said. Atleast I won't have my mom worrying about me all day. "NO! We ran out of corn dogs" Carlos suddenly yelled. I couldn't help but laugh, but
that made me start coughing again. "Katie, I think I should take you to the doctors." Kendall said. "No, I'm fine!" I almost screamed. I just wanted to feel normal
again. Kendall just sighed and looked over at Carlos. "How about we go to the store and get corn dogs, and cough medicine?" Kendall said.
Logan's Pov:
While the rest of the guys went to the store, I stayed at home to keep an eye on Katie. I was worried about her, she looked really sick. It seems like she's lost
weight, and she was already really skinny to begin with. Now, this cough. I was upset that she would not let us take her to the doctor. We were both sitting on the
couch watching a movie, and she started coughing again. I looked over at her, and that's when I noticed a rash on her arm. I grabbed her wrist lightly to get a better
look at it. "What is this?" I said, talking more to myself than to Katie. She pulled her arm away from me and said "It's nothing." I was even more worried now. "It's
obviously something" I said and grabbed her arm again. I never seen anything like it. "Does it itch?" I asked. Katie was stairing at the ground, but shook her head
yes. Something was really wrong. "I'm going to go on the computer really quick" I said. I was going to try and look it up to see what was wrong with her, but I did
not want her to know. "Alright" Katie said in a low voice, and I could see tears in her eyes. Before I went to the computer, I pulled her in a hug. "Don't worry, like you
said, it's probably nothing serious." I said. When she stopped crying, I got up and went to look it up.
When I got to the search results of all of Katie's symptoms, my heart stopped. Lymphoma? As in cancer? I shook my head and tried to stop the tears from falling out
of my eyes. This can't be so, I mean Katie's only 11 and she's really healthy. I turned the computer off and kicked the chair over. I know she does not have cancer. I
kept trying to convince myself she was fine, but my thoughts were interrupted when I heard Katie coughing again and then two minutes later I heard foot steps.
Katie came running in and she was coughing so hard, and she looked like she was having a hard time breathing. "Katie, what's wrong?" I ran over to her and grabbed
her shoulder. She stopped coughing as much, but struggled to say, "I can't breathe." I panicked, she was never diagnosed with asthma, so why was she having an
asthma attack? Her lips were turning blue and she had tears streaming down her face. "Don't worry, Katie" I said, and then I picked her up and ran to the car.
Before I knew it we were at the doctors office, and Katie was able to breathe again. I got out of the car and opened the door for her. She looked really nervous while
she was getting out, so I grabbed her and and tried to calm her. "Don't worry, the doctor will just help. You'll be fine." I said. But honestly, I was scared too, what if
she did have cancer? I had a sick feeling in my stomach as we walked into the doctors. We waited in the waiting room, while I had to fill out some paper work. It
seemed like years, but the doctor finally called us. "Katie Knight?" we heard. Katie looked at me and she looked so scared. I wanted to cry, but I had to be brave for
her. "Don't worry" I said, while squeezing her hand. "Can you please come back with me?" Katie asked, in a small, scared voice. I smiled, "Of corse."
Katie's POV:
I was really terrified right now. What if the doctor has to give me a needle? What if it's not just a cold and I am really sick? What if I can't breathe again? That was
one of the scariest moments of my life. I was glad Logan was with me, but I wished it was Kendall. "Okay, so what seems to be the problem?" the doctor asked. I
was to scared to explain what happened, and before I was about to speak I looked at Logan. He gave me a reassuring smile, but before I could talk, he started.
"She's been having a cough lately, and before we rushed here, she had trouble breathing. I think it's just asthma." I smiled at him. "I see, have you ever had asthma
before?" the doctor asked. "No" I said. I just wanted to go home. He started feeling my neck, probably to check for a cold. "Have you ever had the lump checked out
befor?" the doctor asked. I suddenly felt dizzy and I wanted to throw up. What was he talking about? Isin't that a sign of cancer? I ibviously can't have cancer. I'm
too young. I looked at Logan and he was looking at the doctor with tears in his eyes. "You's have to go to the hospital right now, I'll call them for you. But, they need
to run tests to make sure it's nothing serious. I looked at the ground. "Cancer?" I asked, my voice breaking because I was crying too hard. "It might not be though, it
can be anything. I'm calling the hospital. I'll give you's a minute, but then go right to the hospital" the doctor ordered. Logan walked over to me and hugged me. I
buried my head in his chest and started crying. "I can't have cancer. This isin't happening" I cried, refusing to believe anything. Logan hugged me tighter and said,
"Katie, don't worry. Even if it is, it's not going to be that serious. Please don't cry. You have a supportive family and we will always be here for you. You won't have to
go through this alone." I kept crying, and then started coughing again. "What if I die?" I said. Logan pulled away from our hug, and made me look at him. "Katie, you
won't die. Please don't say that. You are the strongest person I know." I hugged him again and then we slowly walked to the car and headed to the hospital. Both of
us crying the whole way there.
So, there you go. I hope you like it :) I'll include the rest of the guys in the next chapter. I'll update soon. Review?
