Chapter 4

"So whens your appointment?" Jake asked Sam on the phone that night. She had just told him what the nurse said.

"I didn't make one." She answered quietly.

"Sam! The nurse told you that this was serious! When are you going to just ask for help!" Jake shouted. Than realized that he was he stopped and spoke softer. "Sorry. Sam, please go to the doctor for me. Please baby."

Sam was shocked. Jake had never called her 'baby' before. She liked it. "Jake she also said that it was far fetched..." Sam's desire to argue was getting weaker.

"Sam. Please. Just go to the doctors. I'll get Darrell to drive you. If its serious than you can tell Bryanna and Wyatt. Just to make sure everythings ok. Ok?" Jake knew that she was going to give in.

"Ok. I'll call the nurse. Maybe she can make me an appointment soon." They said goodbye and Sam called the school. Hoping that their was somebody still there. She didnt' want to do this. Nor did she want to go to the doctors. But she would do it for Jake. She owed him that much.

"Hello. Darton High School." The chipper person said.

"Hi, may I please speak to the Nurse. I think her name was Jessica."

"Of course. Please hold, Hun." The lady put down the phone and went to get her.

"Hello?" Jessica spoke into the phone.

"Hi. I don't know if you remember. Um, this morning I came to you with these headaches and dizziness." Sam said uncomfortable.

"Oh! Yes Samantha right? What can I do for you?"

"Yes. I was wondering if you could still make that appointment with the doctor for me?"

"Of course! Give you number and I'll call you back tonight. Or an email address." Jessica said. So Sam gave her an email address in case someone else picked up the phone and asked to many questions.

"Thanks again." Sam said before she hung up..

"Any time Sam."

That night Sam sat down at the computer and checked her Inbox. She had two emails. One from Darrell and one from Jessica. She opened Jessica's first.

It said:

Hello Sam. I called the office and you have an appointment for tomorrow at 4:00. The office isn't to far from the school. Hope it works out for you. Don't forget to bring you health card. Normally I wouldnt' be doing this but I know the doctor quite well. He is a good man. Best of luck Samantha.

-Jessica.

Ok, tomorrow at 4. Next she opened Darrells:

Geez!) just call, email, write, message in a bottle, some sort of dog maybe, uh. Or i could just see you at skool tomorrow! ttyl!! Sammy gir.

"So, uh Samantha. What can I do for you today hun?" The young doctor came into the room. Sam looked at the name tag.

"Um, its about my headaches, Dr. Mortan." She spoke softly. Darrell had given her a ride here. She was still shaky.

"Just call me Scott. So what about these headaches. Jessica gave me a breif report. Uh. Dizziness, Double vision, head aches and anything else?"

"Mood swings." Sam said quietly. She looked out side. She saw Darrells truck waiting. She had to make a stupid excuse about staying late. She said something about a exra credit english assiment.

"Ok. I would like to take some test Samantha. If thats all right." He said.

"Fine, what ever. How long will this take? I have someone waiting for me." Sam said.

"Just a blood test. If that doesnt work than a CATS scan."

"What? CATS scan! Why?" She said paniced.

"Its just to be sure Sam. Now please pull up your sleeve." She did and flinched when he pooked her with the needle. She heard him mumble sorry. Once he was dont she started to panic again.

"Why do I need this? Tell me! I have a right to know about my own body!" She yelled.

"Sam. Its far fetched but-" He tried to continue but it didn't work out so well.

"Whats with you people and 'far fetched?' Geez" She muttered.

"Hok, understanding the 'mood swings'" He said. Earning the 'death' glare from Sam.

"Go on." She said.

"I can't tell now. Come back next week same time and I'll give you more information."

Sam was waiting in the doctors office for Scott with the same excuse with her parents. And the same pep talk from Jake. And the same ride over with Darrell.

"Hello again Samantha." Scott came in jumbling a whole bunch of papers. He dropped a couple and Sam helped him out by picking them up for him. "Thanks."

"So whats going on?" She said nervous.

"Um. This isn't clear. But a chance. Sam. I am really sorry. But I am afraid..." He said nervous as well. He like Sam. She was a good kid. He's glad Jessica called. Him and Jessica were dating a bit, on and off. He was also worried about Sam. What the test results were. It wasn't that great.

"Ok, Tell me! Please." She said.

"Sam. I'm afraid that you might have a brain tumor, cancer."

Again. I am not a doctor. I am VERY sorry if i make mistakes. I'm human. Please I am really sorry if i do make mistakes. R&R ppl! lol
