Chapter 8
Sam smiled lightly to herself as she continued passing the time online. As she worked however she noticed something that caught her eye.
"Huh, no way..." She whispered.
She carefully checked and double checked the page, a few more careful searches proved it to be genuine and she couldn't help but grin.
"Wow..."
She called her family through and when they did she explained what she had found.
"Look, see, this could be it."
Her mother bit her lip, looking worried. "Sam, are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, absolutely."
The family all grinned; Sam had found out that their local hospital had been testing a new experimental surgery; Sam herself was eligible for such a surgery and, if successful, it would restore the damage to her spin. She'd regain the use of her legs. One issue was clear however as Samuel pointed.
"Um...Sam, it, I don't think we can afford it right now."
Sam bit her lip but nodded. "I...I know.
Helen reassuringly squeezed her shoulder. "It's worth a look though."
Sam nodded and they got to work, researching and making calls, sending e-mails and such to find out as much as they could.
Not wanting her parents to fuss, Sam quickly spoke. "If it, if we can't afford it, it's not that big a deal."
"We'll think of something Sam, don't worry." Her mother told her with a smile. "It looks promising."
Sam couldn't deny it, she was right.
She later met up with the others; greeting them cheerfully. They returned her greeting and they talked casually for a while, before Emily turned to Sam.
"So, what's up?"
Sam considered for a moment but then smiled and spoke.
"Actually guys..." She began, looking around at them. "There may be a way for me to regain the use of my legs."
"What?!" Jess gasped.
Nodding Sam continued and explained the details, as well as the issues they faced regarding it, by the time she was done the others were amazed.
"Whoa, seriously?"
Sam nodded, grinning. "Yeah, it's a bit expensive, but yeah."
Ashley smiled. "That's, that's amazing, you think it will work?"
"I hope so."
They continued to talk; amazed at what they had heard, although it was clear, despite Sam's apparent nonchalance, they could tell she was upset about it being so expensive, making it hard, if not impossible for her to actually get the surgery.
Sam couldn't believe it.
"You guys...no way?" She gasped.
Her friends had arrived, revealing what they had just done. Determined to help Sam in getting her surgery, despite having already had other plans for it, her friends had all chipped in with money to help with the cost of the surgery.
"Relax Sam, we wanted to." Mike said. "You deserve this chance, we'll gladly help."
Sam shook her head, grinning. "God, you guys...thank you."
They all grinned and Sam was overjoyed; now things could begin, she had a real chance of getting this surgery and regaining the use of her legs.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
