First I wanna start this by saying how shocked and devastated I am that Jeremy is gone. I'm not really sure what's going to happen in the future, but I hope it's only good things. I hope Paramore does find a way to continue, and if not I understand, as I'm sure everyone will. This won't be the end of my writing, even if Paramore decides not to move forward. If that happens I will finish all open stories that I have published (unless they are discontinued) and only then will I stop. A big I love you to Jeremy, Taylor, and Hayley, remember YØU ARE PARAMØRE.

Hayley's POV

After I finished telling the story the girls laid with me for a bit longer, until Nolen walked in with his and Sarah's son, Tommy. Sarah moved off the bed and took Tommy in her arms, bringing him to see me.

Taylor's POV

Sarah made sure that Tommy wouldn't get tangled in Hayley's breathing tubes and gently laid him next to her, as he cuddled into Hayley's side. Hayley smiled and kissed his head.

I closed my eyes and left the room. I wasn't ready for this. After Hayley had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago, I really thought that I was going to be okay. Now I realized I just convinced myself that this wasn't really happening.

Hayley is dying.

I shivered when I thought those words. Hayley was the love of my life, mother of my children, I wasn't ready for her to go, but it was in God's hands now.

As I was walking down the hall, I passed the nurse that brought Hayley her 3pm medicine. These past couple of months, none of Hayley's treatments had been working. The only thing she was taking was painkillers, and her oxygen. That was what was keeping Hayley alive.

I sat on our couch with my head in my hands. I saw a wedding photo of us on the wall, and I stood up to look at it. I admired her vibrant hair, her carefree smile, everything that made Hayley who she was.

I gently brought two fingers to my mouth and pressed them to my lips, afterwards pressing them to the picture where Hayley was.

"Dad?" Bella's voice called.

I looked at her, and she smiled back sadly. She hugged me, and I hugged back tightly. "Mama wants to see you." She whispered. I let her go and kissed her forehead, making my way to our room.

~~~

When I stepped in Hayley was sitting up in bed, smiling at me through the oxygen mask she was wearing. She patted the bed and I laid next to her. She gently removed her mask and took the deepest breath she could.

She gently ran her fingers through my hair, and took another deep breath, as if she was going to speak.

"You have made me so happy *deep breath* I don't think *breath* I could love anyone as much *breath* as I love you, Taylor."

Tears filled my eyes, falling heavily onto the sheets. I ran my fingers through Hayley's blonde and gray hair, watching her tiredly smile at me. I pressed my lips to hers, I needed this. I don't think we had kissed this passionately in months.

Sarah's POV

"I wanna see gramma!" Tommy kept shouting. I sighed tiredly and looked at Nolen with a pleading look. He picked Tommy up and rocked him as I spoke gently.

"Honey, I know you wanna see gramma, but gramma is-" I paused as I harshly wiped my eyes. "Honey gramma is going to a better place soon, and we think that she'll want to be alone until she leaves."

It was clear on Tommy's face that he barely understood anything I was saying. How would he? How would he understand that his grandmother only has a couple of months at the most to live? He's only five. He barely even knows her and now she's leaving.

I finally let myself breakdown in Bella's arms as I thought about mom dying. Why did this have to happen?

Taylor's POV

Our kiss had yet to cease. I felt Hayley's small hands on my chest, urging me closer. Once I had run out of air, I pulled back, feeling Hayley let out a small breath against my lips.

I opened my eyes slowly and whispered, "wow." I expected a reply from Hayley, but there was none. Seconds later, a long flatline of a heart monitor began to ring out in the room. I opened my eyes all the way, seeing Hayley with eyes closed and lips still half puckered.

Tears filled my eyes once again, as I ran my fingers through her hair. Suddenly the room was filled with doctors and nurses, who kept trying to remove Hayley's lifeless body from the bed. I only held her close and screamed at them as Sarah and Bella begged me to cooperate.

But I wouldn't. I loved Hayley far too much to ever let her go.
