Bring me back to life 2

Jon muttered to himself as he got out of the meeting running a hand through his hair. It felt like they had been in there for hours. He looked at the time wondering if it be too late to call Shanna he knew she said she hadn't been felling well he just wanted to check up on her. He was debating when he pulled his phone out of pocket to do just that. He stared down at the screen there was six missed calls. Who had called him it wouldn't be Shanna cause she knew he wouldn’t answer while being in the meeting. He opened it up and started to play the voice mails. It was Shanna's mom and her brother. With each voice mail his face got more and more worried. What was wrong why were they calling him and not Shanna. He was digging through his numbers after the last one.


Richie walked over when he saw Jon's face creased with worry. “kidd you okay?” His friend started to pace. “Kidd?”
 
Jon tried to call Shanna on her phone but no one was answering it. He breathed out slowly trying to calm his racing heart. He looked up at Richie “There was six calls on the phone from Kali and Caleb … check your phone see if they ….”
 
Richie cut him off pulling out his own phone when he turned it on there was five voice mails on it. His eyebrows raised when he played the first one. “Richie this is Jake ….. look we are trying to get a hold of Jon can you have him call us .. its really important …. Kali has called him Caleb has called him … he needs to call us soon as possible...” He looked at Jon “I think you need to call them pronto man...”
 
Jon nodded he hung up his phone only for it to ring again. “hello?”

fuckin hell Jon I been trying to call you...” Caleb’s phone was loud over the speaker. His voice angry and worried all at the same time. “I been trying to get a hold of you all damn day....”

I was in meetings all day I told Shan I'd call her when I got done .. I just turned my phone on. what's wrong …..” Jon shot back.

Oh ….. “ Caleb's anger deflated. “Jon you need to get here.....”

Caleb just tell me....” Richie moved close to Jon his hand resting on his friends shoulder. Something was wrong if Jake's voice was anything to go by.

Mom and I went to check on Shan cause she hadn't been feeling good an Jake said she had not made it into work she's never late. Mom unlocked the door …. “ Jon could hear him swallow.  “we found her unconscious by the couch … we rushed her to the hospital.... its not good … Jon you need to get here NOW....”
 
Richie grabbed Jon forcing him to sit down on a chair by the door “Jon...” Caleb’s voice calling over the phone.
 
Richie took it from Jon's hand. “Caleb.... what's going on...”

Richie …. where's Jon …..”

right now trying to breath what's going on ….. what did you tell him he looks ready to faint....”

shit … Richie you need to get Jon here.... Shanna is in the hospital … its not looking good ….. just can you get here … “ Caleb stated. “just get here as soon as possible we'll talk when you get here..... please man … just get him here....”

We should be there in a couple hours …. man …. I promise …...” Richie grabbed his keys out of his pocket. He turned to see both Tico and Dave standing there. He knew Jon was not thinking clearly right now “Guys Jon and I need to get to Madison … I don't know when we'll be back we'll call you when we can ….” He man handled Jon out of the office building and into his Bentley. He tore out of the parking lot Jon had not said anything since Richie took the phone. “do you want to grab anything from your place?”
 
Jon shook his head “no …. I still have clothes at Shan's …. I … lets just get there...” His voice broke he turned to look at Richie “I can't lose her man....”

you won't man you don't know that .. .lets just get there …. and find out what's going on ….” He sighed as he drove towards Madison saying a silent prayer in his head he wasn't lying to his best friend. What the hell had happened.
 
What usually took them three to four hours in a trip to Madison took only two hours with Richie's driving. He had barely stopped the car when Jon was out and running into the hospital. He parked the car in the closest spot he could find and took after him. He was right behind Jon who made it to the reception. He turned to see Jake standing there with Anna. “Jon..” he tapped his shoulder. When his friend turned to look at him he pointed.

how is she...” Jon asked.
 
Anna sighed “not good … “ She held out a hand to him. “we told Caleb we would meet you out here …. so he could stay with Kali. “
 
They all walked together Richie kept a hand on his best friends shoulder. As they moved down the hall way they reached the ICU waiting room. Kali stood up the minute she saw Jon. She moved to wrap her arms around him.

what happened ...” he whispered.
 
Kali's voice was soft with tears as she told them about finding Shanna on the floor and rushing to the hospital. She wiped her eyes seeing the tears in Jon's own eyes. “They are stabilizing her …. before they do surgery … Doctor Brennan said it can't wait ….I had … I had to sign the paper.... “
Jon stared “Surgery ….” He looked at Caleb his voice worried.
 
Caleb looked at him putting a hand on his shoulder “they have to do a hysterectomy …. she's bleeding way too badly to put it off anymore ….. Jon ….” He sighed “Shan kept putting it off ...trying different ways to deal with this... Doc told her before that this might be the only option to stop this … but she's so damn stubborn.... “ He ran a hand through his hair. “she kept telling them no ….”
 
Kali closed her eyes “its because she wanted to have children someday....” She started crying “and now I have taken away any chance she had...”
 
Jon wrapped his own arms around her hugging her tightly. “You did what you had to for her ….. Kal..... she'll see that...can I see her....”

yeah she's in the first cubicle...” Caleb stated knowing Jon needed and wanted to see her. The others were quiet as he walked into the ICU.
 
Jon's heart just about broke as he walked into the first cubicle. Shanna laid on the bed she looked so fragile so breakable. Her blonde hair was pulled back from her face an oxygen line running under her nose and over her ears. Her left arm laid on the bed ran from it to a bag above her bed. The bag was red meaning they were giving her transfusions he guessed to replace what she lost. He moved to the bed she wasn't awake but he needed to talk to her to touch her but he was afraid he would break her. The blankets making her already look pale as a ghost. He moved to the side of the bed taking her right hand in his her hand was cool. He sat on the chair by the bed hearing the sounds around him. He fought to control his emotions but seeing her like this broke him he bowed his head and let the tears fall.
