Anne POV:

“Hi Mrs. Cox?”

“Yes this is she” I say getting up to shake the doctors hand.

“Hi I’m Dr. Robb. I want to speak with you about Harry’s blood work. We have the results back and it shows that he has what is called Sepsis, it’s a blood infection caused by a primary infection. We believe that the primary infection is coming from the tattoo that Mr. Styles had gotten. After shocking his heart and getting him back from crashing he seems to be having some difficulty breathing. We need to know with your permission if he should need incubated if that would be okay to do?”

“Why of course it would be, do anything you can to help my baby”

Cassie POV:

Harry had a rough few weeks in the hospital, he was hooked up 24/7 to antibiotics, potassium, iron, fluids, and all different kinds of things. After two weeks he was finally showing signs of improvement. The boys wanted to postpone the tour but were told they couldn’t do that so they went on without Harry. Anne had to go back home to take care of the baby because Jerry was due back to work any day now. That left me and Taylor and of course the kids to stay in New York with Harry. We of course had no problem doing that.

Three Weeks Later:

Harry has recovered very well, today he gets to leave the hospital and join the other boys for the last leg of the tour. They will be in Romania, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and England. The doctor says Harry should be fine to sing but he has to limit the running around and rough housing, which lord for bid I know will be hard to do.

“Daddy I’m so happy” Olivia says

“About what love?’ Harry says

“You get to come home today Daddy”

“That’s right princess, I do”

“Alright, you ready to blow this joint” I say clapping my hands

“I’m ready for something to be blown, yes” Harry winks

“You’re sick” I say shoving his shoulder

Paddy walks into the room and tells everyone to go downstairs. Once we get down there, there is a van waiting for us in the front of the hospital. We all pile in and make our way to the airport so we can board the private jet to Romania.

“Ugh.. Only 10 more hours until Romania” Taylor sighs

We’ve been in the air for almost six hours now. I put all of the kids in the bedroom while Taylor goes to the back to sleep on the pull out couch. Harry and I are sitting in the chairs watching the television.

“Harry what’s wrong?” I ask

“Nothing…why?” he says cocking his brows

“Haz I can tell when something is bugging you, so spill the beans” I say

Harry lets out a long sigh

“Ok promise me you won’t tell the guys. I need support but I can’t have them worrying about me” He says seriously

“Harry what is going on?” I ask concerned now

“It’s back” he says

“What? What is back, Harry you’re scaring me; what is going on?”

Harry clears his throat and says in a shaky voice.

“The cancer Cassie, the cancer is back.. pl…please don’t tell the guys yet” He says tears spilling onto his beautiful face.

“Harry I.. I’m so sorry, how… how bad is it?” I ask my own voice shaking now.

“Um the doctor says it’s spread” he says looking away

“What! Where to?” I ask scared now

“Lungs and liver” he sobs out.


I don’t know what to say so I just get up and kneel down in front of Harry. I grab his chin and lift his face so he’s looking at me like he has done so many times to me.

“Harry look at me.. everything is going to be ok”

“How do you know that Cassie?” he asks

“I don’t but I we have to pray and you have to be braver than you ever have before” I tell him.

I stand up and grab Harry and hold his head to my stomach hugging him tightly as he lets out more than a few sobs. I run my fingers through his curls as he gets up to hug me properly.

“Cassie, I’m scared

Notes

Poor Harry :( I got a little emotional writing this, Cancer runs through my family and myself and two year old nephew had a scare with cancer. My mom died of cancer as well, so the subject of cancer really hits home with me. anyways i hope you all liked the update I feel like this update sucks.
