CHAPTER 2
JESSPOV
"I'm so sorry, it's back..." The doctor had said. I didn't cry just absorbed the information silently.
"Mum, promise me you won't tell Louis..." I said, she nodded, choosing to accept my decision. I didn't want him to know, it would hurt him and affect him badly. He told me when I had it before, that he would give up anything to be the one with it, to be the one suffering for me. He would insist on staying at home and looking after me, giving up his dream, but I can't stop him from living life, just because I can't, I won't. I'm too tired to fight it anymore, because it will always be shadowing me wherever I go, whatever I'm doing, so the doctor just prescribed me medicine, no more treatments, no more chemo, no more just laying in the hospital bed, waiting for the endless days to come. My mum had cried when I told her what I wanted but can't choose to ignore my request because it's my life. She watched me now carefully as I had my medicine and quickly put it away when Louis came in with the rest of the boys. She shot me a disapproving look, but didn't say anything.
"LOUIIISS!" I yelled, hugging him, he chuckled at my upbeat greeting because he always tells me he misses it when he's away.
"Right, you, want to get some ice cream?" he asked and I eagerly agreed. My mum gave me the 'don't-get-too-excited-be-careful' look and I rolled my eyes as I followed the boys, Danielle and Eleanor. We decided to walk as it was only a short distance away. We had to walk in twos so that security could protect us better and I was paired with Harry who kept a protective arm around me, shielding me from the paparazzi and fans. We walked into the ice cream parlour, Zayn and me deciding to share a massive bowl of mint choc chip ice cream since that was our favourite.
"Want a bit?" Harry asked, looking at his blue 'Smurf' ice cream. I decided to try it and he put his spoon to my mouth but at the last minute flicked it up causing me to have ice cream on my nose. Everyone laughed, except Louis , who seemed disgruntled and Zayn who was annoyed.
"HARRY!" I complained, and he got the tissue and wiped it off me, grinning cheekily. I took my spoon and put a massive dab of mint ice cream on his cheek.
"You cheeky little..." he started but Paul stopped us from starting a food fight, which would have been fun but apparently not good since the clothes the boys were wearing were needed for their interview later. We decided to walk back, but this time I had to walk slower because my chest was hurting, we were soon far behind the main group.
"Jess? You ok?" Harry asked gently, his hand on my back as I clutched my chest.
"Yeah...sure!" I said as brightly as I could. Harry looked unconvinced but didn't say anything as we reached my house.
"You slow coaches!" Niall joked.
"What?!" Harry and me said at the same time, defensive. Zayn looked annoyed at our new found closeness.
