Skylars POV
"My mom," I burst into tears, "She's got cancer! She's getting treatment now! There not in Italy!" I was balling now and I buried my face into Niall's chest and cried my hurt, anger, surprise, and fright out. Niall huffed and pulled me closer rubbing my back and humming a melody to me. I cried for probably a good half an hour until falling into a deep depressed sleep.
Next morning:
I woke up and jumped in surprise as two sets of blue eyes were staring straight back at me. Two fucking inches from my face!
"Bloody hell boys!" They broke into fits of laughter causing me to laugh and I got up stretching. I looked at them and could tell by the expectant look in their eyes I knew they were here for one thing, "food?" They both nodded eagerly and jumped up following me down stairs. I walked toward the kitchen seeing the half bath made my breath hitch but I pushed past it and made my way to the kitchen. Niall saw me stall an watched me intently while I avoided eye contact and continued making pancakes. The minute the plates hit the table the food was devoured and I smiled at the similarities in these boys. My boys. Niall caught me staring and smiled blushing slightly I blushed deeply.
"Take a picture sweet cheeks! It'll last longer!" I blushed darker and he laughed, "I love when I make you blush! It's so cute!" The door bell rang and I went to get my morning flowers. He's so sweet!
One week later
My parents come home today. I have to confront then about this. I found a paper in the bathroom with my moms blood test and it said positive for Brest cancer. Then I found a paper with the reservation of the hospital room and the family apartment for spouses who's loved ones were being treated. I also found cancelation papers from their travel agent to Italy. I just don't understand why they chose not to tell me! My eyes began to sting and I knew I wass going to cry.
"Sweet girl your far to pretty to cry," Niall sung into my ear as Al latched onto my leg. I smiled softly and finished hanging up the welcome home sign Al and I made with his handprints all over it. I have decided to confront my dad alone. No need to upset my mom. I was interrupted my the sound of tires hitting the gravel road. Show time.
I waited for what seemed like forever and finally heard car door and feet on the porch. And the door opens. I was about to yell welcome home, but my mom looked as though the slightest breath of air would blow her over. I rushed to her side and looked at her closely. I watched her plaster on a fake smile and try to look normal but she was gone and had probably had keno therapy treatments and radiation and it had taken a major toll. Her skin seemed gray and she seemed smaller and her hair so thin and greeting so much in a short time. How Lon has she known? I looked at her with knowing eyes.
" how did you find out?" She whispers barley audible. I looked down.
"I saw paper work in the bathroom, why didn't anyone tell me?" I watched as Alex walked in with my dad. Did her know all this time? Is that why they wouldn't let me fetch them from the airport? Why it was Alex?
"You had so much going on, I am supposed to worry about you not the other way around." She spoke softly and stifled a yawn. She looked so freaking tired.
"Honey why don't we get you in for an afternoon nap, huh? Al can come tuck you in?" My dad smiled at her taking her and and leading her and Al up the stairs. I turned a hurt expression on my face.
"I have just as much of a right as you to know!" I spoke Whitley but my voice squeaked and I felt the tears building up already. I felt hands on my shoulders and I leaned into them. Tears falling freely, "do our other dime hitter brothers know?" My voice came out shrill. He nodded slowly looking down.
"You think it was easy not telling you? It wasn't but that's what mom wanted and don't you think she should get what she wants at this point? Don't tell me you wouldn't have done the same thing!" His voice started quite but started to raise.
"Fuck Alex! She's my mommy! Is she going to be ok? How bad is it?" I asked quietly.
"She has stage four Brest cancer, it's almost as bad as it can get. She progressed so fast a price got to her lungs but they caught it and took it out. She's going to have a mastectomy. She feels quilts but she didn't know what else to do she was stressed and you were dealing with the whole hospital time and she didn't want to add more stress to your plate. I love you sky but it wasn't my news I tell. I've gotta go now I'm going to be late for work if I dot. Leave. I love you sky," he kissed my tear streaked face and I decided it was about time we all headed back to town too. Let my parents get settled. I pulled away and smiled up at Niall and kissed his cheek walking into the bathroom to clean up before I went up stairs.
6 hours later
When I saw my moms hand it looked like the skin was see through so I just spoke to my father and kissed both their cheeks. When we finally got home there was a million messages on my machines and I went through none being of any significance. I decided to call it quits on a long day and sleep away because Niall was here I didn't have to entertain or find someone to watch Al and I still felt like shit. And I was stressed and I need to fiqure out my feelings for Niall. Well goodnight do for now...
