Chapter 3
"Kid?" Bam said. Sami turned from happy to scared and almost mad. 'Why would Ryan let him come in after all I said?' Sami thought.
"Hey, Bam." she said, shakily.
"Are you okay in here?"
"Um...I think I have to tell you something..."
"Um...what is it, Sami?" She hated it when he used her name instead of kid.
"Well, back when I was 14...behind your back I...bought some pills, birth control pills."
"So? If you're trying to be protective of yourself, how is that bad?"
"Well, I brought them on tour and I ended up doing it with Keith."
"Go on." Bam's face was more serious.
"I think I forgot to take one before we did it." Tears started flowing out of Sami's eyes. Bam glared at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Bam, I'm sorry. I was irresponsible, I'm sorry." Bam hugged her after a long silence.
"It's okay, babe, don't cry."
"You aren't pissed?"
"Just a little. But, it was your desicion."
"Now, Keith is mad at me because I forgot and he's afraid that his parents would disown him." Bam rolled his eyes.
"Oh, please. That's bull shit."
"I know, but it could happen. We're only 16."
"I know, babe. Well, the reason I came in here was because, we got a call from the hospital and we can go visit Jess."
"He's getting better."
"Um, yeah, sort of."
"Great! That's awesome. I'll get ready and I'll be downstairs in a few minutes." Bam had something to tell Sami, too. Jess wasn't getting any better but worse. The chemo wasn't working well and the doctors said this might be the last time we visit him before...he's gone.
10 minutes later, Sami, Bam, and Jade were on the way to the Chester County Hospital. They headed up to room 319. Kelly was in there and wiping her tears away.
"Hi, Aunt Kelly." Sami said, hugging her. Jess was asleep. To Bam, he looked dead.
"Hi, kid." she replied, sniffily.
"How ya doing, Kel?" Jade asked. Kelly got up and hugged her friend/sister-in-law.
"Not so good, Jay." Bam walked over to them and they came together for a group hug. Suddenly Sami's cell phone rang.
'Keith?' she thought. She walked into the hall and flipped it open.
S: Hello?
K: Hey, baby.
S: Oh, hi.
K: Are you still mad?
S: silence Yeah.
K: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just scared.
S: I accept your apology. When are you coming home?
K: Tonight, Paul's gonna drive me to the airport and I'm gonna get a plane ride home.
S: What time will you be here?
K: 10:00PM probably.
S: Okay, I'll be there.
K: Okay. I love you.
S: Love you, too.
K: Bye.
S: Bye.

Sami smiled. She was so happy. She turned around and looked into the room. Everyone was rushing around. 'What's happening?' Sami thought. She looked at the machine that showed her uncle's heart beat. She didn't like how it was looking. She opened the door but they just pushed her out.
"No, wait outside. Please, no one younger than 18 in here please." the nurse said. Sami slid down the wall and sat on the floor, watching her uncle die.
