-four months later-

Austin is on his last stop I'm Chicago for his tour.

I woke up not feeling well. I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked like I was hit by a train. My head felt weird.

I looked down and whipped my face. When I pulled my hand down there was blood on it.

My eyes raised to the mirror. My nose had started bleeding.

"Shit." I muttered.

I grabbed the rag next to the sink and pressed it to my nose.

Just that moment my ringtone boomed throughout the quiet room.

"H-hello?" I stuttered trying to still hold the cloth to my face.

"Hey baby!"

"Oh hey pudge."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I just woke up and had a real bad nose bleed."

"Aw babe I'm sorry."

"It's fine it was just weird."

"Do you feel okay?"

"I feel a little sick but it's probably just a cold."

"Well I'll be home in 2 days so I can take care of you."

-

After I hung up with Austin I washed my face.

I felt really light headed so I went to lay down.

As soon as I hit the pillow I was out.

I woke up and it was dark outside.

I was so confused.

What was wrong with me?

I ordered some pizza because I didn't feel like doing anything.

Once the pizza guy got here I jumped up and opened the door.

"Hey how are you?" I said politely.

"Good. That'll be $15.38."

"Cool keep the change." I said handing him a 20."

"Hey thanks. By the way. Your nose is bleeding."

"Fuck. Oh um thank you."

I closed the door and ran to the bathroom. My nose was bleeding worse then before. I needed to see a doctor.

-

"So Keller what seems to be the problem?" The doctor questioned.

"I've been getting nose bleeds like crazy and I just feel really faint and tired. Like I think I have a cold as well." I answered.

"Well I can run some tests but I can't tell you anything for sure."

"Alright."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course."

"Are you sexually active?"

"Yes."

"Is there a chance you're pregnant?"

"No. I shouldn't be."

"Do you take any medications?"

"Yes antidepressant birth control and insulin."

"Do you have one partner?"

"Yes my boyfriend."

"Okay we're going to take a blood test to see if everything is okay."

-

"We won't have the results until next week. You might want to bring your boyfriend with you."

"Is it serious?"

"I don't want to say anything yet but I believe so."

-

"Austin."

"Hey babe what's up?"

"I went to the doctors today."

"Guys shut up. You okay?"

"He said when he has the results I should bring you with me."

-

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The doctor said shutting the door.

"Is Keller okay?" Austin jumped.

"Well we did a blood test to see if everything is running smoothly and we found something."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Keller. You have brain cancer."

My head was spinning.

Austin grabbed my hand.

"Is it curable?" Austin asked with a low tone.

"About 2 or 3 months ago, yes. She's too far along now."

"So there isn't anything we can do?" I asked growing scared.

"I apologize. I'm here for consultation if you need any help."

"How long do I have.?" My voice broke.

"About 4-6 months."

-

The car ride was silent.

I'm dying.

-

Austin held me close in bed. Neither of us slept.

I knew he didn't because I could hear his sobs over mine.

In the morning I say up.

"Babe." He said quietly.

"I'm sorry Austin."

"Baby why are you sorry?"

"You have to go though this."

"You have to go through it too. We're in this together."

"But when I'm gone I'm gone. You are going to have to live with it."

-

We invited the boys over to tell them.

As the words left my lips all four of the boys sobbed. I joined in.

"I'm going to miss you so much." Alex said between tears.

"This isn't fair." Zach pouted.

"This can't be real." Robert protested.

-

Austin and I had a press meeting to release it to the public.

"I was just diagnosed with brain cancer and I only have a few months to live. When we know more you will know. But for now I want to thank you all for your love and support. I cannot show you how much I appreciate you."

I looked at Austin who had his face in his hands.

-

Within hours it was on every tv station, everyone was tweeting about it, everyone knew.

I always thought I would except death if it came to me but now that I am doing better and have my life together, all I want is to live.
