Chapter 2:It's back

Sectionals was just around the corner,New Directions was very excited but that all changed when Sam had recieved a call from his father.

''Hi son'' said Brad as his son picked up the phone.

''Hi dad'' said Sam as the whole choir room quietened down so Sam could have a conversation with his father.

''Son,I spoke to Dr Smith and she gave me the blood test results that she did on you last week'' said Brad as he paced the office.

''Okay'' said Sam as he breathed in.

''You know when you came to me last week and told me that you didn't feel well?'' asked Brad as he sat down on his chair.

''Yeah'' said Sam as he glared at Puck and shot him a look that clearly told him to shut up.

''Dr Smith thinks the Cancer is back'' said Brad as his son gasped.

''But it can't!'' said Sam as he tried to keep his breathing at a normal pace.

''I know son,you'll start chemo tomorrow'' said Brad as his son sighed.

''Okay'' said Sam as he sighed.

''Bye son'' said Brad as his son hung up.

''Bye dad'' said Sam as he ended the call.

''What was that about?'' asked Finn as he looked at Sam with a confused look on his face.

''My dad just called'' said Sam as he stood up and walked to stand next to Will.

''What about?'' asked Will as he looked at his student.

''He just spoke to the doctor'' said Sam as Rachel looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

''The doctor?'' asked Rachel as she looked at her new teammate.

''Yeah'' said Sam as he dropped his gaze to his shoelace.

''What doctor?'' asked Puck as he looked at Sam with a worried expression on his face.

''My oncologist'' said Sam as Artie stared at him.

''Isn't that a doctor who specialises in Cancer?'' asked Artie as Sam looked down.

''C'mon dude,you can tell us'' said Mike as Sam bought his gaze back to his friends.

''When I was four years old,I was diagnosed with Cancer and now it's back'' said Sam as his friends and teacher gasped.

''Sam,you have Cancer?'' asked Will as his student went back to his seat.

''Yeah,Leukemia to be exact'' said Sam as Rachel took his hand.

''What stage is it?'' asked Rachel as she squeezed Sam's hand lightly.

''Stage one'' said Sam as Rachel dropped his hand.

''When do you start chemo?'' asked Mercedes as she looked at her boyfriend.

''Tomorrow'' said Sam as Will looked at him in shock.

''But that's way too soon'' said Will as he looked at Sam in shock.

''Dr Smith says we need to start treatment as soon as possible for there to be a chance'' said Sam as Finn and Rachel looked at him.

''But what about Stevie and Stacey?'' asked Rachel,suddenly worried about how Sam's little brother and sister would take the news that their older brother was very sick.

''I'll tell them but they've already watched mom die from this type of Cancer and I don't want to upset them'' said Sam as Finn looked at him in shock.

''Dude,you have the same type of Cancer your mom had three years ago?'' asked Finn as he looked at his best friend in shock.

''Yeah'' said Sam as Artie turned in his wheelchair to face him.

''Wait Sam,how long did it take you to recover last time?'' asked Artie as he looked at Sam.

''Five years'' said Sam as Artie's eyes widened.

''You recovered when you were nine years old?'' asked Finn as Sam looked at him.

''Yeah,I'm not sure if treatment will work this time'' said Sam as Rachel looked at him.

''Why?'' asked Rachel,confused at Sam's words.

''Chemo's horrible and if it doesn't work,then a bone marrow transplant will have to be done'' said Sam as he shuddered at the thought.

''We'll help you get through the treatment, Sam. We'll be here the whole time'' said Mike as he looked at Sam and grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
