Extraordinary Means
“I was sure of it. Of course my mom was skeptical and kept telling me about some miracle herb she wanted me to try. I told her it sounded great, just so she’d stop talking about it, because she was making me depressed.
When Dr. Barons came back the next day, I told him my mind hadn’t changed. I still wanted the treatment. He seemed surprised, and not altogether pleased, that I wanted to take the risk. But for me it wasn’t a choice. It was the only chance I had, and one of the things I’d learned ...at Latham was that you don’t pass on second chances.
And a secret part of me liked the idea that my fate would still be uncertain. That I was back to where I’d been for the past eighteen months, unsure whether Latham was it for me, or if I’d go back to my former life after all. Except now I knew—if I did get better, if I did get to pack my things and take my protocillin and go back to high school, I’d call Lane every night before bed, and somehow, together, we’d get through it.MoreLess
