-Chapter 1-
I'm not sure how long I've been sitting in this hospital bed, but I do know that I want to leave as soon as possible. I'm not like most girls my age, but I'm not completely different. I like watching Disney movies, and I love animals! My favorite food is mac&cheese and my favorite band is One Direction.
My name is Taylor Marie Flynn, and I have leukemia, and I am a Make A Wish kid. I'm twelve years old and have grey-blue eyes and I used to have blond hair. Now I just get to wear a stupid red bandanna. I'm staying at the Galasano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, New York, and I have an older sister and a dad. My mom died when I was younger in a car accident, but my sister has always helped my dad with me.
My hospital room is kinda cool. I don't have a roommate because the last one I had, I beat up. The doctor had to remove her from my room and sternly reprimanded me. But she was the one who started it! First off, she wouldn't shut the H-E- double hockey sticks up! Second, she kept making fun of me because I was bald. She had a different kind of issue, I guess, but at least she got to keep her hair. Then she said ''One Direction would never love a dis-functional little bald girl!" So I beat her up. And I think it was funny that she called me a little girl considering I was older than her, but only by a year. I pretty much watch movies, and TV all day, along with listening to One Direction and playing pranks on the nurses. It's funny to see them freak out. My sister even brought in her old laptop for me to use, so I can go on-line and do all sorts of stuff. So I guess its a good thing that I don't have a roommate!
There was a knock at the door and the nurse with red hair came in with some dude holding a video camera. "Hello Taylor! Ready to make a wish?" She asked with a cheerful tone. How could she be so cheerful? Stupid woman!
A wish..I knew what I wanted, but I also know what would happen if it came true.. "Yeah, I guess if I could have anything it would be to spend a day with One Direction." I said trying to hold back the tears. The salty tears were starting to sting my eyes and I could feel my face getting warmer.
"That's so sweet! We'll see what we can do!"
"NO!" The red haired nurse just turned around and looked at me utterly confused.
"Please, don't make me meet them!" I yelled with the salty liquid now flowing from my eyes with a speedy pace.
"But you just-" The redhead started.
"I know what I said, but I also know that I'm only going to meet them if there is nothing else you can do for me, and I'm going to die...Please don't make me meet them! Please!" I interrupted her. I was now completely sobbing. I had almost no hope left! Why else would she have asked me to make a wish?!
The redheaded nurse started to leave with the man holding the camera who had just filmed me having a breakdown. She turned back to me right as she was about to leave and said "We'll do what we can, Taylor. I promise." And with that, she exited me hospital room. Slowly but surely, I continued to cry myself into a peaceful sleep where I could dream and get away from the harsh reality that no child should have to go through.
-A Few Days Later-
-Liam's POV-
"BOYS! COME DOWN HERE!" I yelled up to the lads. I had just gotten the mail and a package came with a letter. I suddenly heard the stampede of footsteps coming down the stairs and was met by my four best mates.
"What did we do this time?" Louis asked, thinking he was in trouble...again.
"Nothing...yet. But we got a package and a letter and its addressed to all of us." I informed the curious boys.
"Who cares! It's probably just another fan sending us a care package because we're amazing." Zayn said, unamused while standing up from his usual spot on the couch.
"This is different, Zayn! So sit back down and shut up so I can read the letter!" He immediately sat down and the tone and volume i used towards him. Yeah, that's right, listen to Daddy Direction! I quickly opened the letter and skimmed through it first, then read aloud:
"Dear One Direction,
My name is Dr. Callaway, and I am with the Galasano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, New York. One of our Make- A-Wish kids has informed us that if she could have any wish in the world, it would be to spend a day with you. Inside the package you received is a video of the girl actually saying it herself and we would deeply appreciate if you watched it. We still are unaware of her outcome, but this is to inform you of the possible chance that we will be needing your appearance. When you have finished watching, Please send us an email on your thoughts. Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Callaway"
I looked up to the boys when I had finished reading the letter. The look on everyone's faces was different. Niall looked to be concerned along with Harry. Louis was eye-ing the package wanting to know more and I could see that Zayn felt badly about his comment from before. I put the letter down on the coffee table in front of me and opened up the package. I inserted the disk to the DVD player and hit play and watched as the scene unfolded in front of our eyes. There was a little girl, no older than 13 and she wore a red bandanna around her head. She had the biggest, and prettiest grey-blue eyes, and had the cutest baby face. I looked more closely at her and saw she had tears in her eyes, but I could see she was trying hard not to cry, and stay strong. Then out of no where she yelled 'No' and the tears poured out. She was begging the nurse not to meet us. I was a bit confused myself until she explained why she didn't want to meet us. That made total sense, and I had no idea that it worked that way! It broke my heart. When the little video ended I turned off the TV too shocked by what I had just seen. I took another look at the lads and Niall was crying like a baby. Harry wasn't as bad, but he was still crying. Zayn had tears in his eyes, but tried to be tough. Louis had a few tears flowing down his face while I had the same feelings as Harry.
"Boys, go pack your bags! We're going to Syracuse, New York!" Louis had read my mind and took the words right out of my mouth.
"Wait, we have to call Simon first. We can't just run off." Zayn reminded.
"Fine, I'll go call him right now! In the mean time, get packing!" Louis sassed back.
We were in the midst of packing when we all heard a loud groan/yell. We all made our way downstairs to see Lou sitting on the couch and his head in his lap.
"What happened?"
"Is everything okay?"
"Did Uncle Simon say we could go or-"
"Lou! Tell us what happened"
We all chimed in at once at the frustrated boy sitting on the couch.
"No, no, He said we could go, but that's not why I'm frustrated!" He informed us, but we continued to look at him, trying to make him go on.
"Uncle Simon only said we could go if we did an interview there and other publicity stuff to make us look good! He's calling this our major charity case that will put 1D even more on top than before. He doesn't care about this girl at all!" He was acting like he was going to cry again, but the way Simon had said it, it even made me mad!
"Well, we'll just have to prove him wrong at that interview. We'll tell the world the truth about it all." Harry chimed in the conversation now.
"Come on boys, there's a little girl waiting for us!" Niall concluded. And we all made our way to our private jet and headed to Syracuse, New York.
