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.
