"Thank you Seattle!" We run up to the top of the stage and go into the lift "we've been One Direction Thank you so much!" I say then the doors close and the lift goes down I take my mic off from around my head
"Great job boys" Ben smiles
We walk off the lift "can't wait until you get to sing again though Nialler. Shows are more fun with your voice" Harry says squeezing my shoulder
"Yeah I can't wait either" I smile thinking about finally getting back to doing what I love
"Great show lads!" Paul comes over handing us all water
I pass my guitar to our stage manager and Paul starts pushing us out to the bus. We pile into the bus one by one while sitting and down talking about the show. They're all sat on the couches, but Paul and I stand beside them. I don't pay much attention to what they're saying, though, too focused on the notification on my phone screen.
1 missed call: Alvarado Hospital Medical Center
"Damn" I mutter under my breath forgetting about the hospital call
"What's wrong?" Louis asks from the couch next to me
"The hospital called, I forgot" I stare down at the screen
"You have to call them back" Liam tells me
"What if I don't want to know?" I sigh
"As nice as it would be to live in denial Niall, you can't" Paul says taking my phone, with no objection from be and starts typing away on it
He passes it back "but it's up to you, if you're ready" I look at the screen seeing he's pulled up two options
Call Back : Block Number
I sigh, Paul's right I had to just rip the bandage off and do it. I press call back putting the phone up to my ear and take a shaky breath trying to calm down.
"Hello Alvarado Hospital Medical Center" a female voice answers
"Hi this is Niall Horan, I got a call earlier" I rub the back of my neck anxious
"Yes, I'll transfer you to Dr. McKinney" she says
"Thank you" I sigh trying to calm my racing heart
"What did they say?" Liam asks anxiously now stood across from me
"They're transferring me" he nods continuing to pull at his fingers. Louis and Harry also come and stand next to me then
"This is Dr. McKinney" the doctor comes on the phone
"Hi um it's Niall Horan I got a call earlier today"
"Right I have the Bronchoscopy results" Harry puts his arm around my shoulders as I start pulling on my hair and chewing on my lip "now normally I would like to discus test results in person but because of your situation would you like me to tell you now or you can come here when you have time?" he offers
I shake me head "no, I want to know, just tell me now"
I hear his sigh "alright well" I breathe heavily just wanting him to spit it out already "the biopsy revealed you have Metastatic Lung carcinomas....or in simple terms lung cancer"
My heart falls into my stomach and I feel sick. A wave of emotions crashes over me like a tsunami wave. I've never felt so lost in my life. Never have I felt so many emotions at once. My brain stops working and I can't move. I hear the lads talking to me but I can't comprehend anything they're saying.

FanfictionI'll never forget that day. That day the doctor told me, I, Niall Horan, had cancer. Cancer. That awful, deadly disease that we all pray we never have to live with. I had it. It was there. Living, growing inside me like a weed. Tearing me apart, suc...
