Chapter 31- I couldn't move. My head felt fifty times heavier than it normally did and the dizziness was just too much. I kind of felt drunk, but this was a whole lot different. Instead of being drunk, the tumor on my brain was making me sick. Not even bothering to get out of bed, I called my dad to my room to tell him it would be impossible for me to go to school that day. How could I make it through all my classes if I couldn't even get out of bed? My dad came running as soon as he heard me call him. When he saw my condition he nodded his head in understanding and went downstairs to phone the school and tell them I wouldn't be coming in. My head was pounding, too hard to even comprehend if it really was a headache or if someone was taking a hammer and slamming it against my head. In other words: I felt like...shit. A couple minutes later my dad came into my room and handed me a glass of water and a couple of Tylenol to help ease the headache a little. "Do you want...

Chapter 30- We ate the meal that was prepared for us and then afterwards Nick got up from the table and grabbed a guitar that was leaning against the opposite wall. I smiled because I thought it was adorable when guys sang to their girlfriends. Nick started plucking to a melody I had never heard him play before and when he started singing the lyrics I felt a chill run through my spine. The song was Lovebug and it almost felt like the song was meant just for my ears only. When he finished and strummed the last note, I gave him a small applause, which made him smile once again. "So you liked it?" "Yah, did you just write that?" Nick kind of looked shocked, but answered my question anyway. "Um...no, actually it's on our newest album." I felt stupid, but I knew Nick understood. After putting his guitar away, Nick took my hand and led me over to a spot cleared on the floor. There was a large blanket and some pillows set up just to make the mood more comfortable. We sat...

Chapter 29- I started getting ready at about a quarter to six just to make sure I had enough time to make myself decent. Neither Tori nor Cassie would be home, so I was on my own. I rummaged through my sister's makeup bag to see what I could come up with and when everything kind of looked foreign I decided to try everything just to see what I could pull off. I ended up with just a simple brown eye and a pop of color on the lips: that was all that was needed. And then for my wavy hair I just stuck it in a messy, but cute, side pony and called it a day. When it was about 6:30 I went into my closet and pulled out the magic dress. I put it on, put my shoes on, and walked downstairs to wait for Nick to pick me up. I was a little embarrassed when my dad whistled at me from his office. Then at 7 on the dot, my doorbell rang, making my heart jump. I quickly got up from the couch, adjusted the bottom of my dress, and went to answer the door. When I opened it, all I saw was the...

Chapter 28- "No that looks ridiculous on you take it off." Tori was making me try on the most high-end fashion outfits that I would never even think to look at while shopping. First she made me try on a sundress but when I put it on I felt like I was wearing a trash-bag. Then she made me try on a skirt, but the skirt ended up being so short I would get arrested for prostitution or something walking around in public in it. She also made me try on a simple jeans and shirt ensemble. This she decided had already been done and would not be done again. I rolled my eyes every time I saw her gaze at something and imagine to herself what it would look like on me. Even though most of the clothes fit me, she refused to accept anything to be the outfit I would be in tomorrow. I really didn't care what I wore just as long as I looked good. Yah, I know looks aren't everything, but I really wanted to get a reaction from Nick when he saw me. All I ever wanted was for a guy I liked to...

Chapter 27- Of course after hearing Nick's confession I religiously had my phone by my side waiting for him to call to ask me out to dinner. I couldn't wait to make plans with him and to be honest I was a little anxious to see how he would ask me out. He was an amazing guy and amazing guys usually had amazing ways to surprise people right? After pacing around my house a billion times I finally decided to give up. I realized the phrase "A watched pot never boils" was beginning to take effect, so I sat down on my couch and turned on the TV. That didn't help at all cuz I still had my phone attached to my hand imagining it ringing. Then at about 5:30, my phone beeped. My heart fluttered and I stuttered a little when I answered. "H-H-Hello?" "Hey, I was wondering, did you by any chance listen to the radio at all today?" I smiled and got the typical giddy feeling and then tried to contain myself. I didn't want to ruin Nick's surprise, so I decided to play it cool. "Um...no...

[AN: sorry again for taking so long. This story is about to get REALLY good in my opinion, well hopefully it will haha.. enjoy =) ] Chapter 26 Tori picked me up from school that day since my sister had a class on Mondays at the same time my school let out. When I got into the car she was listening to some radio station with music I had never heard. I think the song at the time was Miley Cyrus' "7 Things." Tori was singing along to every word, but since it was my first time hearing it, it almost sounded foreign. Towards the end I found myself singing bits and pieces because the song was very catchy. Then out of nowhere the DJ came back on and announced that the Jonas Brothers were in the station for an interview. Tori and I immediately sat quiet and listened while Tori turned up the volume on her radio. "...and I'm Joe and we are the Jonas Brothers." "It's so weird hearing your boyfriend on the radio and knowing he's so famous." I thought about Tori's comment for a...

[AN: this chapter was so unbelievably ridiculous...haha i had to rewrite the entire thing pracitcally,...so hopefully you like it] Chapter 25- Everyone kept staring at me and it was getting annoying. I couldn't tell if they were staring because I was having a wardrobe malfunction that I didn't know about or because my cancer was really that obvious, but whatever the reason, I seemed to always have at least one person look at me in each of my classes. I was in, I think, fifth period when someone finally said something to me. "Hey, your name is like Madison or something right?" And how did Heather, the most popular girl in my grade, exactly know my name when no one else noticed me? And how come she was talking to me, when she never even looked in my direction any other day? I had a feeling she wanted something from the huge, fake smile that spread across her caked-on makeup filled face. "Um...yah..." She held out her hand for me to shake, which I took cautiously. Then she...

[AN: sorry for not updating for awhile...ive been really busy. And plus sunday was my JONAS CONCERT! which was amazing...demi fell twice =( but yah that was the best concert ever...so yah anyways...enjoy the chapter] Chapter 24- Nick kissed me goodbye and then I smiled at him as I walked back into my house. He was so amazing. As I started to walk up the stairs I felt another violent headache come on, but I tried to ignore it. Then, when I was halfway up, I started to get dizzy, so I quickly ran the rest of the way to my bedroom and laid down on my bed with my eyes closed. Anything to keep me from fainting or getting sick. After a little while, the dizziness went away, so I slowly sat up an opened my eyes. I was going to be ok and I didn't have to worry about having symptoms that lasted too long. After making sure I was definitely feeling normal again, I got into my pajamas, even though it was only five thirty. As I was changing my shirt, the phone started to ring, but...

Chapter 23- "I want to show you something." After lunch Nick took me to the beach and once we took our shoes off, he led me over towards a part I had never seen before. We walked for about five minutes until we came to a clearing that was completely empty. I could see why because I don't think many people knew about this part of the beach, which was a shame. I never thought I could see some sand and water look so beautiful, but in that place everything looked beautiful. It looked like I had walked onto a beach somewhere off in an exotic rainforest off the coast of some island. There were patches of bright colored flowers all around and the sand almost looked whiter than any sand I had seen before. How come I had never seen this before? Nick smiled at my reaction as he sat himself onto the soft, warm grains under our feet. "Wow, how did you come across a place like this?" I went over and sat down next to Nick. "Um, I was walking down the shoreline one day and I looked...

Chapter 22- I got up the next day happier than ever: it was Nick day. After deciding on not eating breakfast because I was probably going to have a big lunch anyway, I took a shower and got dressed. This time I didn't have help from the glam squad, so I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a cute t-shirt to make it easy on myself. I looked plain, but simple is still good. When I was ready I looked at the clock which read "12:15" and walked downstairs to wait for Nick. I was sitting on the couch when it hit me that I had gotten up only an hour before I finished getting ready. It was the first time I hadn't gotten up earlier than eight o'clock on a weekend. I had always gotten up early because of that whole mom thing, but I think I was finally starting to let go and move on. She would have wanted me to be happy and that's all I could ask for. Nick picked me up about ten minutes later. We ended up going to some café that I can't remember the name of, but the food was...
