Lynn's pov
I literally felt as if I was stabbed in the back. Why wasn't I told about this. We were suppose to be best friends. We literally tell each other everything.
Bad things happen when someone doesn't speak up. I mean, I get that Madison doesn't like people worrying about her, but after what happened last time she held something in, I thought that she'd be more open to us...
~flashback~
2 years ago
"You alright Mads?" I asked her. She had a pained look on her face and she was rubbing her chest.
"Yeah I'm good" she replied.
We were getting ready for our track meet and Madison and I were partners for the relay race. There were four of us and we were doing the Distance Medley Relay.
I had the 1200 meter run and Madison had the 400 meter run. This was one of our last meets of the year and it was a hot one outside.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm fine Lynn!" She snapped. This was so not like her. She never did this but I just let it go.
It was probably just nerves...
As we lined up in our places I looked at her one more time and she didn't look good. I began to think that this was more than just nerves...
"Runners get ready" the announcer said. "Get set. Go!"
An we were off. To be honest the distance wasn't that far. It went by in a blink.
When Madison started running, something didn't feel right. She kind of stumbled in her first few steps, which wasn't normal.
"C'mon Mads you got this!!!!" I cheered.
When she was about halfway done, the real disaster stuck. She totally just collapsed on the ground.
"MADISON!" I screamed and ran towards her. That was probably the fastest I've ever run in my entire life.
When I got to her, she was in the ground shaking.
"Oh my Gosh what's wrong?! Are you okay!?" I asked.
"L-Lynn it h-hurt-s" she spoke quietly.
"What does?"
"M-my che-" and then she started convulsing.
People around me were shouting and I could only make out a few voices.
"She's dying!"
"Help her!"
"Someone grab a priest, she's possessed!" Seriously?
"Shut up and call 912!" I screamed. "No no no please don't do this Mads. You mean the world to me!" I sobbed and tears streamed down my face.
Our coach ran to us and so did some medics that were at the sight. They told me to move but I couldn't budge.
My whole body went numb and I had no idea what I should do.
"No...NO! Please, you have to save my sister!" Madison's brother Macon ran up beside me. He came to all of the games since their parents were 'busy'. Melanie had to work today.
"Sir step back!" A paramedic said.
Going forward....
When we got to the hospital, she was taken into surgery for maybe 6 hours?
It turns out it was aortic stenosis, which means that the aortic valve in the heart can't fully open, which causes a lack of blood flow from the heart.
It wouldn't of happened if she just opened her mouth and said something.
When our school did our physicals, Mads and I did our together. I kind of remember the doctor saying something about an abnormal heart beat, but he said it was probably nothing. Yeah it was totally nothing.
Well track was out of the picture for her, and so was practically any other sport.
That day was one of the worst days of my life...
~flashback over~
Going back on that memory hurt. I tried to forget but you can't just forget something like that.
It hurts that she couldn't tell us. Did I do something to break her trust?
After I yelled at Maddie and Nicole I stormed out of the building.
"Lynn! LYNN!" Emmy yelled after me, but I ignored her.
When I got outside, I saw Louis sitting on a bench so I went over to him.
When he saw me, he got up and met me halfway.
"Where's the other guys?" I asked before he could say something.
"Well Harry left after...ya know.... Niall went after him and Liam is pulling the car up". Louis said.
"Let's get out of here."
"And go where?"
"I don't know. You got anything?" I asked him.
"You know. I think I do" he said with a smile.
He called for a cab and we both got in. We pulled up to a very nice looking apartment.
"Wait one sec" he told me and ran out of the car. He ran to the door and cramped a key in the lock and went it.
About less than two minutes later, Louis came back out with a soccer ball in his hands.
He whispered something to the driver and smiled at me. We were off again and going to another unknown destination.
About 10 minutes into the drive, we pulled up to a deserted soccer field.
"Louis I'm not dressed for-"
"Just don't worry about it." He told me. "Don't worry about anything"
We got out of the car and stepped out into the field. We kicked out shoes off and Louis set the ball down.
"You ready?" He asked me.
I just smirked and kicked the ball away from him. I sprinted down the field and scored into the goal.
"That's no fair!" He called out and I laughed.
We kept playing for around an hour. I was about to score again went Louis tripped and took me down with him.
We were laying on our backs and staring at the sky.
"I thought that you'd be better at soccer" I joked.
"Well I've been busy ya know with stuff..."
"Psh excuses"
"Well that wouldn't of happened if I wasn't distracted my this beautiful girl..." He said.
"Where-who?" I said and looked around.
"Uh YOU!"
I felt the heat rise to my cheeks.
"She's not just beautiful, but also kind, smart....sassy" he smiled and softly touched my hand.
"Amazing at soccer" I added.
"Hey I thought we were gonna forget about thought!"
"No one said that" I laughed.
"See it's the sass messing with my brain" he said.
"Hahaha just admit that I'm the soccer queen and it'll all be over"
"Never!"
"If you say so"
"Wait if you're the queen, why can't I be the king?" He asked.
"Well um-"
"Ha-Exactly! How about we rule together alright?"
"Alright..." I said. I was positive that he could see me blushing but hopefully he'd take it as being hot from running.
"Hey Lynn?"
"Yeah?"
"There's something that I've been meaning to ask you"
"And that is?"
"Well I've been having this feeling for a while now and it's not going away. And I would like to know if you-"
"Baby you light up my world-"
"Sorry that's my phone" I said. I tried shutting it off but I failed.
"It's ok. You can answer it" he said.
"But I don't want to be rude"
"Haha you're good." He reassured me.
"Um alright." I said and looked at who was calling.
Derek
"Holy crap HELLO!!!!" I practically yelled into the phone.
"Hey! How are you?" He asked.
"Never better. Oh my gosh I've missed you so much Derek!!!!"
"I missed you too!"
"How's life at home"
"Eh boring. Now that you're not here, there's been nothing exciting"
"Aw that's not true"
"When have I ever lied to you?" He asked.
"Well actually-"
"Eh how many times have you lied to me?"
"Oh my gosh Derek" I laughed. "How's my mom. She always says she fine but I know she doesn't want me to worry"
"She's alright. Your stepdad still-yeah..."
"Oh..."
"It's gonna be fine Lynn. It'll end soon."
"How do you know"
"Well because she's a strong woman"
"If she was strong she would of left him for good..."
"All people are different Lynn. You know that too."
"Yeah...."
"Well look on the bright side, you get to live your dream now!" He said.
"Haha true"
I looked at Louis and he seemed a bit glum.
"Hey Derek let me call you back later alright?"
"Sure! Don't party too hard!"
"Psh"
"Talk to ya later Lynn!"
"You too Der!" I said and turned my phone off.
"Sorry Louis."
"It's fine...Who's Derek?"
"Just a friend from home. More like a brother"
When I said brother his mood seemed to have lightened a bit.
"So what were you gonna say earlier?" I asked him.
"Well-um"
"Cat got your tongue?"
"No! I just I wanted to ask you if-...?
I had a theory of where this was going...
"Oh it's what you do to meeee"
"Gosh! Sorry! I gotta take this. It's modest!" Louis said.
Louis's eyes widened as the talk went longer.
"Yeah. That's fine. Not like we get a choice. We'll be there!" He said and hung up. "Tour was moved up a few days and Modest needs us at their building to give us our schedule. Apparently they don't know what email is..."
"It's fine Lou. Let's just go and get it done with. Yeah?"
"Yeah"
When we got up I realized that we were covered in grass and dirt.
"Hope they don't have a dress code" I said.
"They can deal with" he said. And together we were off again.
