I own: Sam's cousin, Sandy!
The next day had come around quicker than any of the member of the New Directions thought it would and now it was time for Sam to be taken to the hospital by the ambulance that his dad had organised to come to Mckinley to get him. Sam wasn't looking forward to his first round of chemotherapy, due to the fact that it often made him feel sick.
"We'll come visit" said Finn as he helped Sam get his jacket on.
"I hope so, plus I'll be bugging you on the phone" said Sam as he showed Finn the new Iphone 5 that his dad got him.
"Is that a new phone, Sam?" asked Finn as he stared at the shiny, white phone in his best friend's hand.
"Yep, Mercedes will give you the number" said Sam as Mercedes punched his new number into Finn's phone.
"I've texted all your friends back in Nashville the number, sweetheart" said Mercedes as she and Sam kissed, making Finn go awkward.
"Ready for chemo, dude?" asked Finn as Sam and Mercedes broke away from their kiss.
"Nope" said Sam as he looked at Finn in the eyes.
"Why not?" asked Finn as confusion formed in his eyes.
"It makes me feel sick" said Sam as Finn punched him lightley on the shoulder.
"Is it really that bad?" asked Finn, punching Sam lightly on the shoulder.
"Especially when I'm throwing up blood every few hours" said Sam as he coughed up blood for the first time that morning, causing Finn to grab hold of him just as two paramedics entered the choir room with a gurney, one of them was Sam's mom's best friend, Freddie.
After Freddie and the other paramedic, whose name was George, got Sam to lie down on the gurney with an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, they wheeled the gurney out of the choir room and to the ambulance outside, the New Directions immediately started talking.
"I hope Sam'll be alright, chemo isn't easy" said Mercedes as Quinn put an arm around her shoulder.
"It'll help him get better, though" said Quinn, trying to reassure her friend. A week had passed since Sam went into the hospital, Sandy was back in school and Will had a surprise for the other members of the New Directions.
"Alright guys, we're going to visit Sam at the hospital!" said Will as the rest of his students rushed out of the school and onto the bus.
They arrived at the hospital twenty minutes later and Will asked the receptionist directions to the Children's Oncology ward.
When they got up to the Children's Oncology ward, Will led the other members of the New Directions to Sam's room, he stood by the door and looked in to see Sam sitting up in bed, Xbox 360 controller in hand and he had obviously lost his hair to chemo.
"Yes! I win again!" said Sam as he punched the air with his fist and smiled widely at Doctor Thomas Jackson, who was sitting next to him in a chair beside his hospital bed.
"Damn it, Sam! You're really good at this!" said Thomas as he put his controller down and looked up to see Will. "And you've got visitors!" said Thomas as Sam looked up to see Will and the other members of the New Directions smiling at him.
"Hi guys" said Sam as Brittany ran into his room and practically pounced on him without warning.
"Hi Sam!" said Will as he walked into the room, his other students walking in after him.
"Brittany, get off of me!" said Sam as he tried to push Brittany off of him.
"Brittany, get off of that patient" said Thomas, getting an odd look from Sam.
"Thomas! 'That patient', really?" asked Sam as he shot an odd look in Thomas's direction just as Brittany jumped off of him.
"It's time for chemo, buddy" said Thomas, trying to avoid bursting into laughter.
"Ten minutes" said Sam as Thomas smirked at him before leaving the room.
"For a Children's Oncology ward, it doesn't have a nice color scheme" said Rachel as she looked around Sam's room with her nose crinkled.
"I know, looking at sky blue walls the whole time gets boring" said Sam as he relaxed against his pillows.
"How are you feeling, Sam?" asked Will as he sat down in the chair next to Sam's hospital bed.
"A bit better but the chemotherapy is making me feel tired" said Sam as he smiled at his teacher.
"That's to be expected" said Sandy as she sat down next to her cousin on the hospital bed.
After talking for another five minutes, it was time for Sam's next round of chemo, and Thomas and Dr Smith smirked at him when Sam reacted to having the IV needle inserted into his arm by screaming.
"Come on, Sam! You've been doing this since you were four!" said Dr Smith as Sam shot her a weak glare.
"Yeah, but it still hurts!" said Sam as he shot a weak glare in his oncologist's direction. After finishing chemo, Sam drifted off into a peaceful sleep and Sandy watched her cousin with adoration in her eyes.
"He looks so peaceful" Rachel whispered to Finn, who nodded in agreement.
