I sat in my living room, tapping my foot anxiously.
Harry was over and we were playing XBOX, but he was currently in the bathroom. So I was sitting in science, awaiting his return.
I pulled out my phone, scrolling through old texts and trying to keep myself entertained.
Suddenly I felt someone's hands go over my eyes.
"Guess who?" They asked.
I would recognize that voice anywhere.
"Adria!" I said, jumping up and embracing her in a hug.
She had been on vacation for the past two weeks, and I missed my best friend like crazy.
"How was New Zealand?" I asked, as she plopped down on the couch adjacent to me.
"Beautiful. And far away," She smiled.
Adria and I have been friends since as long as we both could remember. My parents worked a lot, and my brother and I never really got along, so when Adria moved in next door we kind of became instant best friends.
I got made fun of a lot for being best friends with a girl when I was younger, but neither of us ever really cared.
"I missed you," I said, poking her in the stomach with my foot playfully.
She smiled and pushed my foot away.
"Awe! I missed you too Nialler!" She sarcastically said, standing up and giving me a hug, which I returned.
Adria and I have never dated, and I really doubted we ever would.
We were incredibly close, and she told me everything. It would be a bit awkward to date after being best friends your whole life.
And I didn't even know if she like me... Or if i liked her?
Just as she pulled away, Harry reentered the room.
"Hey!" He exclaimed, seeing Adria.
"Hey!" She smiled back, hugging Harry too.
He sat next to me again, restating the game. I started coughing, which wasn't unusual for me.
It may sound like a pretty serious cough to anyone else, but to me it was a typical thing I never payed close attention to.
Adria looked at me, her face filled with worry, as Harry patted me on the back.
Adria stood up and returned seconds later with a glass of water, which I drank.
"Thanks," I muttered, embarrassed.
"Niall I seriously think you should get that checked out," Adira said, sitting down again.
"Don't worry about it. It's fine," I said, nonchalantly.
"It doesn't sound fine," she said.
"Well it is, okay?" I snapped at her. She looked slightly hurt.
"Listen, I'm sorry," I whispered.
"No, Harry, he's on your team!" I said.
"Really?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Huh. Well I don't want him on my team," he said.
"It doesn't matter if you want him on your team, he IS," I explained.
"Not anymore," Harry said, under his breath.
Adria was watching us looked amused, laughing at Harry's last remark.

"I should go," Adria sighed a few hours later. I looked over at her and gave her my best pouty face.
"Don't do that! I haven't even unpacked," she groaned.
"I'll walk you then," I told her, turning the game off.
"I need to go too," Harry sighed. Saying goodbye to Harry, Adria and I began the walk across the street.
"Ni are you okay?" She asked, her face full of concern.
"Yeah, why?" I asked. I felt really nauseous, but I told myself I was fine. Nothing was wrong.
"You just look really pale and-"
"Can I use your bathroom?" I interrupted, holding my stomach.
She nodded quickly, leading me inside.
Id been here more times than I can count, so I knew the way to the bathroom.
I threw the door open and closed if quick behind me. I didn't want her worrying.
I barely made it to the toilet before I started hurling.
"Are you okay?" Adria asked. She sounded like she was crying and it hurt me to think I was the reason.
I finally sat up, still clenching my stomach. I stood up and realized I had puked up blood.
Well, that's a new one.
I opened the door, and Adria hugged me right away.
"Niall are you okay?" She asked, pulling away.
Her eyes widened when she saw what I was hoping she wouldn't.
"Is that blood?" She whispered.
I wanted to say something witty and lighten the mood, but I couldn't.
I felt like i was breaking down inside. I rested my head on Adria's shoulder as the tears began to fall.
"I don't know." I whispered.
She hugged me back, trying not to cry herself.
"Niall listen to me," she said, pulling me so I was looking her in the eye, "You need to go to the doctor,"
I shook my head.
"Why Niall? Why do you refuse to believe someone can HELP YOU?" She yelled.
"I don't want to go, I don't need to go I'm fine." I quietly said.
"Fine? Really? You know it's not really normal to puke up blood and cough like your about to die every.single.day!" She said, her eyes watering up.
We stayed silent for a few minuets as she put her head in her hands.
"I need you Niall. And I need you to listen to me, okay?" She had tears running down her cheeks and she looked like the was in pain.
I knew I had to do this for her.
"Okay. Ill go," I said.
She looked at me and smiled.
"Thank you,"
I never wanted to go to the doctor because I always knew something was wrong. And in my opinion, something like that would be better left unsaid.
