Harry's POV
It's been a week since Jennifer told me that she had cancer. I was crushed. Today was the day of her mastectomy, however, I had a show in Baltimore tonight. I really did not want to do the show and would much rather be in New York with her. I've spent all day glued to my phone waiting to hear from her sister. I was praying everything went smoothly. None of the boys knew what was going on and I honestly did not know how to tell him. I just stayed to myself the last few days which probably isn't the best thing to do under all this stress.
"Are you okay, mate? You've been quiet the last few days." Niall sat beside me in the main dressing room.
"Just going through some stuff." I mumbled.
"Are you and Jennifer fighting or something? You haven't said much since you say her and blew off the meeting about Perfect." He looked concerned.
"We're not fighting. She told me something this week and it's just been very stressful. It sucks because I can't be there for her right now."
"Is she pregnant?" He whispered.
"No. I wish. That would be so much better than this. Promise you won't tell anyone. She wants to keep it quiet for now at least. I can only imagine if some fans found this stuff out." He nodded. "She has cancer, Niall." I sighed. I could feel the tears coming to my eyes.
"Oh mate, I'm so sorry. She's going to be ok, right?" He looked panicked.
"I hope so. They said they caught it early enough so hopefully surgery a few months of radiation therapy will help. She's in surgery right now and I'm here. I feel like such a shit boyfriend but we can't just cancel a show. So after the show in flying to New York instead of home for the break to take care of her." I rubbed my hand over my face and through my hair.
"She knows you care. If I know anything about her I know she doesn't let shit drag her down." Niall wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "She'll beat this. When she does you better marry her or I will." He winked at me which caused my to smile through the tears.
"I know but I hate seeing her struggle. Also, you keep your Irish claws away from her. She belongs to me." I pat his back. "Thanks mate. For everything." I genuinely meant it. Niall was honestly my best friend through everything.
"Anytime man. Send her my love and let me know how she is as soon as you see her." He gave me a stern look.
"I can promise you that. Let's go play this show so I can get back to her." I stood up wiping my eyes again. We walked over to Liam and Louis then made our way towards the stage.
