Finn was sat in the living room with Sam, just watching TV with her. He didn't know what she was watching but if it kept her happy then so be it.

"Mum!" Sam called. She was beginning to get restless. Being cooped up inside just wasn't her.

"Yeah, baby?" Rose stopped in the kitchen and she walked through to her.

"Can I go into school later? Being stuck in here's boring me."

"Oh, thanks babe." Finn smirked.

"Shut up." Sam smiled and looked at her mum.

"Maybe later. If you're feeling up to it." Rose smiled, and walked out to finish up in the kitchen.

'That's a no then...' Sam thought sadly. 'I hate cancer...'

"I'm not made of glass." she muttered.

"Well you look it, so deal with it." Finn smiled, hugging her.

"You're..-"

"An annoying prat I know, Sambuca." Finn finished for her, smirking again.

"Good. But you're my annoying prat." Sam smiled and she kissed him softly.

Finn kept her close. He could physically feel how weak she had become in his arms and it took all of his being not to break down. He hated this. Why her? After everything they'd been through he was the wrong one here not her. 'I should be the on- No. Stop it Finn.' He mentally shook himself. No more. Anything she wanted she'd get, he'd make sure of it, just to see her smiling he'd do it.

Rose looked to the table as her phone rang, and she wiped her eyes, taking a deep breath and she answered the call. "Hello?"

"Rose, it's Tom... Finn's not in my class is he with you?"

"Yeah... yeah he's just sat with Sam.." Rose said.

"How is she...?"

"Weak... she's not eating. Tom she's wasting away in front of me and there's nothing I can do... Am I that bad a mother I don't know how to help my own child?"

"Course not, Rose. Don't ever think that okay?" Tom told her. "What's happening is terrible and it shouldn't happen cause she's the nicest kid I've ever known. But it's not your fault you don't know what to do. Why don't you bring her round the school about half 2? The kids are helping to set up the new community centre, it might do her some good, and you, to get a bit of laughter while you can with her."

"I dunno Tom..."

"She'll probably be bored out of her mind stuck in all day... She's not getting any worse with an afternoon out is she?"

"Fine... You coming to pick us up?"

"Yeah sure. See you later." Tom said and hung up, heading back into his classroom, the students instantly quietening.

Rose sighed heavily. She knew what she wanted to do right now... have a drink... But she promised Sam, and thinking of her only daughter stopped her from heading out the door. She put the phone back on the table and walked into the living room. "Hey, guess what?"

Sam and Finn looked over at her.

"Tom's gonna pick us up and take us to the school later, the school are opening up some community centre or something." Rose said.

"Okay." Sam smiled and looked back at the TV, and answering a text from Lauren.

"Jess, hang on, slow down. What are you talking about?" Bex questioned, walking with her friends to the canteen.

"My so called best mate stole my boyfriend!" Jess shouted. "Vicki slept with Aiden!"

Bex sighed heavily.

"And I'm pregnant."

"Oh great..." Bex ran her free hand through her hair and walked over to get something to eat. "Thought it was supposed to me that was supposed to get up the duff before you."

This got a laugh from her sister. "Yeah, sorry I got there first."

"And you're stupid for it."

"I know! I know..." Jess sighed.

"What you gonna do? About Vicki I mean."

"I'll get my own back. Mum's coming, gotta go. Talk later, promise." Jess said and hung up before Bex could say anything.

"I just hope you know what you're doing, Jessica." Bex muttered, following her friends up to class, mentally making a note to call her later, and Sam also. She ignored any questions her friends put to her about what was going on.

A/N: Apologies for the late reply and the somewhat rubbish update... :/ Hope you enjoyed it anyway
