Anna's POV

"That was the first symptom or so we thought  " I  said.

"What do you mean? " Louis asked.

"I thought it was a symptom but it wasn't. Your hair starts falling only when you get chemotherapy treatments. " I explained it.

"But why didnt you just check on a doctor or something " Liam questions me and Harry looks at me with curious eyes.

"It wasn't such big of a deal when my hair started falling at the beginning. I thought it was something wrong with my shampoo. And i just told you that your hair starts falling only after chemotherapy " I said slapping my face inside of my mind because these idiots can't even understand this.

"Then how did you find out ? When ?" Harry asks.

"Well it took us a while to find out " I said drowning deep inside my thoughts.

(FLASHBACK )

Mia and I spent the rest of the summer holiday just like normal teens do.

We went to summer parties, picnics and had fun. Our first summer party was held in selena's house. It was a big white mansion. They had a pool, a huge yard and everything.

When we got inside the yard was packed with people. Me and Mia found some familiar faces among them. The yard was beautifully decorated with lights, mini lanterns,  flowers, cute flags and every inch was covered with colourful balloons.

There was lemonade ,puffs ,cakes and many finger foods. It was one of the most beautiful summer parties I have ever attended.

Ellan, Me, Mia, Jannet, Luke and Ashton had loads and loads of fun.

Ellan and Jannet both are my school friends. I met Ashton at the church and later found out that Jannet is his girlfriend.

I met Luke at Ellan's 16th birthday. She introduced me to Luke and after sometime Luke became Ellan's boyfriend. We all hanged out and had fun. Even we went to parties together.

Ellan's hair is blond and short while Jannet's hair is black and shoulder length. With time Jannet and Ellan became very close to me but they could never take Mia's spot. Mia was like a sister to me. I shared every tiny detail of my life with her. She was my best friend since I was a toddler and nobody can ruin our relationship in any way.

My mother was the closest family member to me. I love and respect her so much. I could do anything to make her proud.

And my father, I don't remember much about him. His name is David Gray. He has grey,blue eyes and blonde hair. That is all I know about him. He left me and my mom when I was 6 years old. I can remember his sweet voice humming songs into my ear till I fall a sleep on his lap. I don't have much memory of him but I'm pleased with my small amount of happy moments that I spend with him. I don't know why he left us but I'm sure he had a reason. So I don't bother to find that out.

Time tucked by and I enjoyed my life more than any of my friends did.
