Chapter 10

Jakes world came crashing down. He didn't say anything, at first he dropped to his knees beside his bag. Nobody said anything at first. Then he took off to his truck and sped down the drive way on the road that he just came off of. He couldn't think he just automanticly wanted to be with her, to be by her side and tell her that it was going to ok. He slowed down the car. Cancer. His baby had cancer. But she was just at the doctors...she wouldn't, no she wouldn't lie to him about that. He knew she wouldn't but, the fact is he really didn't know her anymore...

"Cancer?" Wyatt asked Dr. Morton. (Scott) "What the heck?"

"Its actually a brain tumor" Scott replied. "I am glad you finally brought her in." He said sacasticly.

"Excuse me?" Byanna stepped in. "We had no idea."

"Wait you mean, Sam didn't tell you about the doctor appointments with me?" Scott looked up from his clip board confused.

"What doctor appointments?" Wyatt shot back equaly confused.

"The ones we had a couple of weeks ago, she had headaches and dizziness, we took a blood test," Scott told them, "But when we asked her to come in for some more tests, she wouldn't."

"This is the first we have heard of those appointments. Who made the arrangments? Who got her there?" Byranna asked.

"Um, that I do not know. But the schools nurse might of helped Sam."

"Behind our backs? Whats with that?" Byanna sounded like a third grader who just figured out slang.

"Well from our point of view Sam told you." Scott defended himself as well as Jessica.

"Dr. Morton, they need you in the ER." A tall nurse came up to them.

"Excuse me please." Scott nodded to them and followed the nurse, leaving Wyatt and Byanna confused. Grace Forster stayed home with Cody. Wyatt shook his head and suggested they talk to Sam.

Jake stopped his truck, red light. He was about ten minutes to Darton Hospital where Sam was. Yes, he called his mommy. He tried to clear his thoughts, Sam. Samantha Anne Forster, his oldest friend. The light turned a bright green and he gunned his truck forward. Soon he was going to find out the questions that he almost didn't want to know.

"I'm sorry sir, but your daughter needs rest right now. She had just gotten a few tests done and she needs quiet. My suggestion is for you to go home and get a good nights rest. She will be here in the morning. And we will have more news." The nurse told them. Wyatt looked at Bryana and nodded almost to himself.

"I need to get Cody to bed anyways, he has been fussy lately." Bryana tried to reason.

"You think I'm going to leave my daughter when she was just diagnosed with cancer?" Wyatts anwser was harsh. It didn't mean to come out that way. But in away it did.

Byranna was taken back. "Wyatt there is nothing you can do right now and your other child also needs you. So my suggestion is that you get into that damn car."

Even though the moment was serious. Wyatt let a little chuckle. Bryanna was getting the whole stubborn thing. They headed out to there car and went home with out Sam.

Jake Ely pulled into the parking lot. He turned off his cell phone and headed into the main doors of the hospital. Since it was late, he didn't expect to be many people to be there and he was right. He tried to find someone that could put him in the right direction. First he tried the nurses station.

"Excuse me?" He asked to the nurse that was typing at her computer.

"Visiting hours are over son." She replied not even looking up.

"I just need to see someone. Please." Jake almost begged.

She sighed. Obviously tired. "Look I have been on shift all day. I cannot handle anymore of this. Who are you looking for?"

"Samantha Forster." He replied thankful. The young nurse nodded and led him through big doors to it looked as if a testing center. There were many rooms, but only one had Sam in. She led him through a couple of hallways that he knew he couldn't remember. He also knew that he wouldn't have to. Because he wouldn't leave.
