"Bad news first huh? Well okay" the Doctor said. "Now Jamie's results from the tests she took last visit are back....and my suspisions about her having another year left, have unfortuntetly not been confirmed. You might not even make it to the end of the summer Jamie" the Doctor announced.
"But theres good news too" Dr. Jenkin said, noticing the looks on Jamie and Landon's faces. "I think, we *may* have found something that can help treat your lukemia. It's a bonemarrow transplant. It might prolong your life drasticly, or it could even save you. But the chances of us finding a match before your.....time...and you hanging on long enough to actual compete the surgery, well.....the likleness..."
Jamie put her hand up to signal the Doctor to stop, linking her other hand with Landon's. He took a deep breath and looked over at Jamie, trying to be strong for her and not cry. She didn't need to be comforting him, it should be the other way around.
"I'll leave you two alone" Dr. Jenkin mumbled as he exited the room leaving Jamie and Landon in silence.
"I think we should try the surgery Jamie" Landon said, squezzing her hand. Jamie just shook her head in a silent no.
"How come? This could cure you!" Landon asked, not understanding her resistance.
"When I first got sick the Doctors all said that with the specialness of my case, bone marrow transplants would never work" Jamie replied.
"Than why would the Doctor recomend it at all?" Landon asked her.
"I don't know, but I really have to think about this. I'm not too sure I want to have this done, Landon. My sickness is God's plan for me. It's whats supposed to happen, I can't ignore that" Jamie said.
"But what if, just maybe, *this* is what's supposed to happen. Maybe you're supposed to stay here with me now. Maybe he changed His mind" Landon shot back.
Jamie considered this for a momment. She looked at Landon with all the love she could muster, and seeing it returned in his eyes, she was suddenly at ease.
"I'll do it" she told him.
