-------Wills POV-----

As she finishes that sentence before she can even sit down her whole body is on the ground unconscious.

“You guys call 911 or something get the medic dude in here.” I say rushed. I have no clue what to do so I just kneel next to her. Half an hour later and we are at the hospital along with the guys in All Time Low.

An hour later and many questions to the receptionist later finally a doctor walks out asking for a Mister Beckett.

“I’m her brother William.” I answer the doctor walking over.

“Okay come this way then.” He motions to a door, the guys all follow me. “Are you family too?”

“No but close enough.” Rian answers, the guys all nod.

“And I’m her boyfriend.” Alex says his eyes red from crying, the doctor looks towards me.

“Yeah they can come.” I nod,

“You’re not going in to see her immediately I just have to talk to you about her.” The doctor gives me a sorry look. My heart falls.

“Uh, okay uh guys wait here.” I say to them then turn around and follow the doctor into a little office.

“You’re sister is awake.” He begins giving me what I am thinking is the good news first.
“But she has a few problems she is severely anemic and she has a form of leukemia.” As he says that my heart breaks. My sister can not have leukemia she is only 18 it’s completely impossible. Only old people get leukemia let alone any type of cancer.

“She can’t there’s no way possible that she has leukemia she just graduated.” I cry.

“We are going to be bringing her into surgery after you go see her. She will have some of her lymph nodes removed and then she will have to be in chemotherapy for three months, maybe longer. We caught it at an early stage so things should go okay.” With that he walks out of the room, I follow behind him out to the doors that lead to the waiting room. I do not want to break this news to the guys.

“Hey guys.” I say hoarse trying to control my tears. They all know something is wrong my the look on their faces. “She has leukemia.” Immediately all the guys break down into tears more then they had today. God we’re such sissy’s even Zack and Andy are bawling and they are the only real men. Once we have composed ourselves a bit we walk in and see her. She is laying on a hospital bed with her eyes shut and tubes running into her body.

“Hey Peyton.” Alex was the first to talk.

“You guys are such Sissy’s. I haven’t even cried yet.” She laughs though it’s obvious she is hurting and sad.

“I should have brought you to the hospital immediately when you told me you felt sick. I was so stupid.” Rian whines starting to cry again.

“Rian it’s okay. I’ll be fine. I have like two surgeries some chemotherapy and by the end of the tour I’ll be all good and new.” Peyton smiles trying so hard to cheer everyone else up when we should be cheering her up. “By the way, have you called mum yet?”

“No. I should probably do that though.” I say then walk to the door to go tell our mother the news.

-------Alex’s POV-----

“You know I have the same type of cancer my father died from.” Peyton says. Laying in the bed she is so much paler then I had ever seen her before. The wires running in and around her body, she has that heart monitor thing next to her making a steady beep noise. “In less then an hour I have my first surgery.” How can she still be smiling I’m falling apart and we‘ve only been officially dating one day.

“Lets not talk about that.” Rian suggests. I nod in agreement. Till William comes back in we just talk.

“Guys lets leave Will to talk to Pey for a little bit.” I say because I don’t want to completely break down in front of her and I’m about to.

“If you have to go out there I better get a kiss and you better be coming back in.” Peyton chuckles. I force a smile, my lip quivers as I bend over the bed rail to kiss her forehead. “I meant a kiss on the lips. Cancer isn’t contagious.”

“I know.” I move my lips to hers kissing her lightly but she pulls me closer kissing harder. She slowly moves her lips away, then moving her lips to me ear.

“If I had known this is where I would be right now, I would have had sex with you earlier.” She kisses my cheek.

“Babe you’re going to be fine and once you’re all better we won’t have sex. We’ll make love.” I whisper back. She catches my lips with hers for a quick kiss before I stand up. The guys looking at us, not in disgust but maybe a bit annoyed. A tear slides down my face as her hand falls from mine. William stays in the room as we walk out, once the door closes my knees buckle and the tears pour from my eyes.

----Peyton’s POV----

I fake the smiles for the guys, I pulled myself together for the half hour or so that they were in here. But then it was just my brother and I.

“William I’m scared. I have what Dad died from.” I say tears falling down my cheeks now.

“Pey don’t worry you’ll be okay.” Will says sitting on the side of my bed, his eyes are red and puffy just like all the other guys.

“William. Did you not hear me? I have what Dad died from, I’m at the same stage of leukemia as he was, I thought things were finally looking up, for all of us.” After a while Will calmed me down and told me Mum was going to be flying out here. We were interrupted though by the doctor coming in to tell me what would be happening. They told me in a few minutes I would be prepped for my surgery which was now an hour away, also that when I was stable after the surgery I would be able to be flight transported to a hospital in my home state. They were just giving me things to look foreword to I think, but it was pointless for them to do since it was obvious to me. I’m dying.
