Chapter 7
{Five Hearts Tour Bus}
*McKenna's POV*
I sat on the kitchen table, bawling. I had just texted the group, telling them to come to our tour bus. They had all gone to lunch, except for me. I told them I wasn't feeling good. Which is true, just slightly different. I sighed, and got off the table. I sat on the couch, as everyone came pouring in. "Are you okay, McKenna?" they asked. I looked down sadly on the ground. They all quieted it up as I began to speak. Tears started to fall from my eyes as I spoke up. "Guys, I have something to tell you. Over the last few months, things have been happening to my body, and they have gotten worst. I went to the doctors office a couple weeks ago, and they confirmed my worst fear. I... I have a rare form of cancer," I said, hiccuping. I watched as all the faces from my band mates and boyfriends turn white. "I have a case called Hemangiopericytomas. It's in my head. I am having surgery on it in a couple days, so I will be shaving my head. After that, I will start wearing wigs. I felt like I needed to tell you this, but I really can't let the media know. It would be too much pressure," the tears were falling harder now. "I needed to tell you all this. Please, please stand there, be right next to me. I'm nervous, I'm scared. I could possibly loose my life. Please, I'm begging you. Help me and take care of me..." I let my voice trail off. I looked up and saw 9 pairs of eyes grieving.
*Jessie's POV*
The minute I walked in and saw McKenna's face, I knew she was going to tell. I already knew, because when she went to her appointment, se asked me to come with her. As soon as we knew for sure, she begged me to not tell anyone, at least for a little while. The last couple weeks have been horrible. I've cried myself to sleep each night, thinking about my best friend. Now I can stand here, and cry out all my tears, just for McKenna. I can't loose her. She's my best friend. I sat done on the couch, and dug my head into Zayn's shoulder, as I cried my eyes out.
*Zayn's POV*
As soon as McKenna announced her news, something clicked. I realized that's what's been on Jessie's mind lately. She knew about it. Oh my gosh, I... I am horrible. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't do anything to find out what it was. Now she was sitting here with her head in my shoulders. I couldn't do anything though. So I just wrapped my arms around her, and let her cry.
*Rylie's POV*
My mind is blank. I don't know what just happened. Did McKenna... I stopped, and stared at the scene in front of me. It's true, it really did happen. McKenna really just told us she had cancer. I let that sink in for a second, then tears filled my eyes, as they came pouring down out of my eyes. I turned next to my boyfriend, who had a blank stare on his face. He turned around when he saw me turn, and took one look at me. He took me in his arms, not saying a word.
*Maddie's POV*
This can't be happening. McKenna can't have this! She's the strongest one out of the group! She's someone we can trust, someone we know will take care of us. Someone who truly loved us. And we could loose all that. A beautiful girl, who we met a while ago, with a beautiful smile, and a love shining straight from her heart. I looked to Niall, who was holding me, and then to Hailey, my best friend. I watched as tears streamed down her face, as she and Louis embraced. Niall and I stood still, wrapped in each others arms, then went to embrace our beloved McKenna.
*Hailey's POV*
News like this hurt. I can tell everyone is hurting, especially McKenna. I'm not surprised though. I mean, she just became a member of a girl band, a dream that no one believed she would achieve, then a little while later, finding out she was diagnosed with cancer. I would be broken too. Louis and I were embracing each other, but when Maddie and Niall went to go be with McKenna, Louis and I went and sat down next to them as well. We all cried in silence for quite a while.
*Louis's POV*
This next year will be hard, I can tell. McKenna will have to go through many treatments, and that will make big changes. She needs these treatments, even though they could hurt her. If she doesn't get these, Five Hearts could loose a band member- and we all could loose a friend.
*Niall's POV*
All these girls are hurting, and there is not a single thing we could do, besides love them. Love them with all our heart, and make sure they know. This whole process will be hard and painful for all of us. But we will all stand together, tall and strong.
{Take Me Home Concert that night}
*Harry's POV*
Throughout this whole night, I've been watching Liam. He hasn't been himself, not one bit. No jokes, no laughing, no goofing around. Staring out into he crowd, seeing things, but not being able to SEE them. Everyone could tell his mind was not on the concert. One could only guess it was McKenna. The poor boy. I saw a tear surface to the bottom of his eyelid. His lips started to quiver, as it came to his solo in
*Liam's POV*
My solo for 'Moments' will be in a couple seconds. They are playing the music for it right now. I don't think I can do this though. Every song lyric is making me think of McKenna. Tears filled my eyes as I opened my mouth to sing.
Shut the door
Turn the lights off
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try
Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands
Touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face...
As soon as I stopped singing, I turned around. I walked over to Louis, told him I will be back, then I walked backstage. I stood there, crying.
Okay guys! How was this? I don't know if anyone is affected by this type of cancer. Family, friends, yourself. If so, please contact me. Don't worry, I do not mean any harm through this, just to tell a story. Anyway, I love you all!
