We'll Beat This
Chapter 2
I brush through my short, light brown hair. I wish it was longer. But this is just one of the things I have gotten used to, having little to no hair. I throw on my beanie to it up. I stare at my reflection in the mirror, fixing my outfit (her outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=91154141 ).
Today I get to meet One Direction. Omigosh. I still can't believe I'm seriously going to meet my idols. I can't even count the times their music helped me through chemo. These boys saved my life, they kept me fighting. Now I'm going to meet them!
"Amelia!! Hurry up and get down here!! You can't meet the boys if you never leave your room!" My mom yells. "Coming!" I wouldn't miss it for the world.
My nerves are tingling with excitement. My foot taps, my hands are restless and my heart is racing. "Honey, calm down" mom comforts me by putting her hand on my knee. She is the best mom I could ever ask for. Before the cancer, we weren't very close, and she was always working. Once we found out, we became really close. So I guess the Leukemia did some good.. My mom is basically my best friend. Well so is Peyton.
Peyton and I have been best friends since Kindergarten. I was sitting by myself on the play ground, and she basically forced me to be her friend. Thank god she did. She has comforted me through so much. Mostly by getting me to laugh. Other 'friends' have come and gone, but we have always stuck together.
"Hello!" The boys of One Direction wave at me. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. One Direction said hello to me. "Hi." That's all I can manage. Get over yourself and talk to them! "Uh. My name is Amelia James, it's nice to meet you." I stick out my hand to shake theirs, but Niall (the closest one to me) disregards my hand and pulls me into one of his famous 'horan hugs'. Oh my gosh this just made my life. The rest of the boys follow suit and hug me. I can't even begin to explain what I'm feeling right now.
"So, what kind of cancer do you have? If you don't mind me asking?" Liam asks. "I have Leukemia, but I'm in remission right now. Remissions never last long for me.. The cancer is really aggressive." I hate it when people pity me because I have cancer. It doesn't change me. It doesn't make a lesser person. But the boys don't show any pity. "The cancer doesn't change my opinion of you. I still think you are an awesome and strong person" Niall says quietly while blushing. OMG NIALL JUST CALLED ME AWESOME!!! I smile and blush.
Niall's POV:
Amelia is such a cool person. First of all, she didn't freak out when she met us. That's great. I can't count the times girls screamed their head off in front us. She is funny, too. And boy she is fit.. I can tell all the boys were thinking it too. How could they not?
"Do you want us to sing something for you?" Zayn asks. Amelia says yeah and flashed her beautiful smile. "What song?" Liam questions. She thinks for a while then answers: "What makes you beautiful. It was the song I listened to when I got my first chemo treatment." She gives us a small smile, and I fish out my guitar.
Amelia's POV:
The boys sang what makes you beautiful, and so many emotions came up. My first treatment, the night after, the many times I could barely handle the pain spring into my mind. I'm trying keep the tears from falling, but I fail. I wipe the tears away. I can barely react when Harry's arms wrap around me and wipes away my tears.
When the song finishes, Louis grabs me a few tissues. Gosh this is embarrassing.. Crying in front of One Direction..
"Sorry.. I just.. It brought up some not so good memories.."
"Don't worry about it, love" Niall smiles.
"You have five more minutes" Someone informs us. I don't want this to end.. This has been the best day.. How could it end?
"Give me your phone." Niall demands.
I unlock it and hand it to him. I'm guessing he's putting his number, well I'm hoping he is, ahaha.
"You're a really cool girl. Text me."
OMG NIALL.
I hug all the boys and sadly wave bye.
Best day ever.
