ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 11: This Request... I Cannot Grant

"you will do no such thing". He said. The tone of his voice told me he didn't want to be argued with, but knowing me, I wouldn't drop the issue.

"why not" I asked.

"are you seriously asking because you don't know."

"okay, I know, but try to thing of it as me saving a life. " I pushed but no.

" he has a family, why can't they do it"

"he's mom is not his real mum and Lola can't go into surgery. "

" am not letting you do it. You're too young for that " he said and I sighed. He was acting like my freaking dad.

" come on Liam. The guy's lying in the hospital helpless, and if he doesn't get a transplant in the next two weeks, he could die. "

" if the surgery isn't successful, you could die! " okay true, but I wasn't going to admit that.

" Liam, I can't let him die if I can do something about it. " he was touchy when it came to issues that concern hospitals, but he need to understand.

" God No Sam! , you've only known him about two months." so so so stubborn.

"He only knew us for that period of time and he released twelve thousand dollars for dad's surgery. Liam he saved dad's life, we both know that if he hadn't paid that money on our behalf... Well I don't want to go there. But I know that working at a cafe and a pizza place everyday and with your job, there's no way we could have come up with that amount in time. I can't let him die if there's a small possibility that I might be able to help. " I said and he ran his hands over his face. That's something he does when his thinking. Progress.

" it's different Sam. Money can be recovered and paid back. You can't compare money to human life. Am sorry Sam. If there was a way to help them without putting your life on the line, then go ahead."

"liam" I called then paused until he was looking at me. "all my life, I never did anything without your permission, because I love you, I didn't ask you for the things my friends had even if I wanted them because I didn't want to put you under any unnecessary stress, so will you please, since it the first time, please let me do it. Please" oh come on Liam, you can't be this heartless.

"am so sorry Sam, but this request... I cannot grant" he said and left for his room. Well I tried talking to you like a civilized person, but I guess you like it the other way. I picked up my cell and called Lola.

"Hey" she said, her voice croaked.

"have you been crying " I asked.

" no, I just... "

" don't you dare lie to me young lady"

"okay fine, I have. But it hard, I miss him so much, and it hurts to know that I can do something but at the same time I can't." she said and I felt my heart pull.

"am coming over" I said and hung up.

"oh my God Lola please stop crying, you're making me feel terrible. " I said pulling her up from the floor.

" if anything happens to him, I'll never forgive myself. " she showed and I held her closer.

" don't talk like that Lola, you need to be strong, not just for you, but for your mum and for Ethan too. " I said and she opened her mouth to say something but stopped at the sound of her room door opening. Aiden walked in with a dead expression on his face.

" lola" he said, but I barely heard him. He knelt down beside her and I stood up to create space for him. She wrapped her hands around him and sobbed. Okay I know it's a terrible time to think this but one day, these two look so cute together.

I spent another hour with Aiden trying to get Lola to stop crying, her mum wasn't doing to great either. It surprises me that she can't feel thus much for someone that isn't her son. I hurt to see them like this, this was how I was when mum died, and I just can't watch my best friend experience a replay of what happened to me.

"Aiden, can I speak to you" I asked when he was about leaving. He nodded and told Carrie to wait in the car for him.

"what do you want to talk about"

"the test, I was wondering if you can sign it as my Guardian."

"what about your brother "

" he's against it. Am going to do it then tell him after the surgery, but I need someone to sign it saying that he's giving me permission to do it. " I said.

" why ask me to do it. Do you know how much trouble I'm going to get into if anything goes wrong."

"come on Aiden, ethan's your best friend. Can't you do that much for him?. It might come out negative anyway, but I just want to try. "

" was my best friend. He has nothing to do with me anymore. I here today because I know how much pain they are going through, not because am still holding on to a long lost friendship. Don't mix them up. " he said with no emotion at all.

" come on Aiden please, it's just a stupid signature, how hard could it be" he sighed then nodded in acceptance.

"great I'll get the papers, wait here" I said.

"wait, am doing it tonight?" he asked.

"of course, why wait till tomorrow when you can do it now." I ran home and ignored Liam when he asked me where I went to. I was back outside in less than three minutes. Aiden sighed it but kept the paper.

"give it" I said trying to snatched it from him, but each time, he raised his hand higher.

"one condition"

"what? "

" answer a question" he said.

"ask"

"do you like ethan" he asked and I raised a brow.

"why do want to know" I asked in return.

"just answer me"

"I don't  know. I mean I like him as a friend, but nothing more" okay that was a lie, but he didn't need to know that.

"okay " he said and released the papers to me.  He turned to leave but I stopped him.

" wait... Why did you ask" I said and he shook his head.

"nothing, just some rumor I heard in school"

"what rumor" I asked.

"good night" he answered like he didn't hear me.

****one week later****

"sam" Lola screamed from across the field.

"you look happy"

"of course, the doctor called mum and said we can collect the results of the test today. "

" really?, well we can go right know, school closes in ten minutes anyway. "

" yes, I can't wait. If it's positive then you'll be able to help Ethan and I can see my mom smile again and my brother walking on his own two feet." she sounds so happy. It made me nervous. If the test results are negative, it would break her heart. The entire ride to the hospital, I felt like throwing up, but thankfully I was able to make it in. We went straight to the doctor's office and she handed us a white sheet of paper. I opened it but nothing in it made sense to me. All I could make out were calculations and numbers and medical stuff. Lola didn't seem to be having any luck either.

"what does this mean, I don't understand a single thing." she sighed and the expression on her face was unreadable. The knots in my stomach grew an I felt lola's hand wrap around mine. I squeezed it tight as we listened.

"I don't understand either... ".
