Chapter 19

What was going on? Why is this happening again? She had so many tests lately. And now they are doing it again. Why? She thought that she was cured. That she didn't have to worry about it anymore. She was so tired, and drained. Including emotionaly. Finally they wheeled her back into her room where she saw Jake sleeping in a chair in the corner. She smiled as she saw him, despite all that was going on.

Jake woke up to see Sam staring at him.

"This is comforting." He teased her.

Once Sam figured out what he was talking about blushed and looked away. "Sorry."

"Its ok, how are you feeling?"

"Fine. Do you know what is going on?" She looked at Jake expectingly.

"No." Jake said almost painfully. It was a few minute of silence. Before Jake spoke up.

"What was it like?" He was shocked for what he said. He didn't mean for it to come out.

"Was what like?" Sam looked out.

"Everything. The chemo?"

"Well everyone likes to throw up constanly...watch your fingers turn black..and cough up blood.." She said.

"Oh. I'm sorry." He sighed. "Sam, I'm sorry for everything..I'm sorry for being a lousy boyfriend for not being there for you, for everything!" He took a breathe before continuing. "Sam, I love you. I wanna be there for you till we have to part. Ok? There I said it. I am in love with Samantha Anne Forster! I know its kinda the wrong time. But I had to tell you."

Sam looked at him, trying to figure out who the hell he was. What just happened? Should she forgive him? Could she? She deep down she could. "I love you too."

Jake looked up when she whispered that. He was shocked. Like on the outside he looked well shocked, but on the inside he was going...'YES! OH MY GOODNESS YES!' somthing on that account. He stood up and slowly looked her over. As she layed in the bed, in a white gown. Her bare head only showing the scar running over the top. He sat on the side of the bed and told her to move over. Once she did he laid beside her putting her under his arm. His hand gently rubbed her head

You're there by my side
In every way
I know that you would not forsake me
I give you my life
Would not think twice
Your love is all I need believe me

I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in

Sam mumbled something and leaned into him, loving the feel of him around her. She felt safe and secure.

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

I'm wondering how I ever got by
Without you in my life to guide me
Where ever I go the one thing that's true
Is everything I do I do for you

I may not say it half as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

So whenever you get weary
Just reach out for me
I'll never let you down my love

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
Ohh we'll get there
This I swear

They sat there for a while just holding each other. Perfectly contant. Well until they got interupted.

"Um, Samantha, can you please come with me? I'm sure this young man will help you in to the wheel chair if you are not strong enough to walk." Dr. Morton came rushing in. Wyatt beside him.

They helped Sam into the chair and wheeled her into this dark room. Jake stood beside her holding her hand. Wyatt noticed and smiled alittle. Around them there was ex-rays hanginng on the glowing wall behind them. It was dark besides that.

"Sam, when we did your last CATS scan, we found something that was undectable before." Dr. Morton pointed to two diffferent pictures on the wall. "You see, this here is a persons spine. What it is supposed to look like. Over here is yours."

Sam gasped as she looked at it. It had black almost spongey spots all over it. Some bigger than the others. "What is it?"

"Cancer. We also found some on your speen. And since they are not close together. Its also in your blood."

"Thats impossible! She would of had pain!" Jake paniced.

"Since we have had her on so much drugs, it is possible that it helped in more places. There was no way of knowing. This is a one in a million thing for this to happen to someone so young. Very rare. But this is it. I'm sorry Samantha."

Everyone was silent for a few minutes. Not really knowing what to say. Until Sam spoke up.

"How long do I have?"

"The longest I've seen people live from this, is 4 years. But since it is already in your blood. Maybe not even 4 months."
