Hey so I'm loving your reviews, so here is chapter 2. I'm trying to let this story go slow, but not too slow. Keep reviewing, I love it when yo guys review, even if it's constructive critiscm or yor own ideas you would like to see in the story. I use almost every idea I can so lay 'em on me.
"Mordecai?" Rigby the raccoon, Mordecai's best friend, called out. "I heard you, and *yawn* it woke me up. This better be important." Rigby walked down the hall, and made his way downstairs. Mordecai was last in the kitchen waiting for Margaret to call.
When Rigby saw Mordecai, he almost vomited. Mordecai had two stab wounds, and blood was slowly running out of him. A knife was in Mordecai's hand. Mordecai was on the ground dead, or unconscious. Rigby feared the worst and rushed to the house phone and dialed Benson's number.
As it was ringing he ran over to Mordecai's body, and put his head to his blood soaked chest. He heard his heartbeat, but it was getting slower.
"Hello? Rigby!? Why are you calling me at 2 in the morning?!" Rigby heard Benson tiredly yell through the phone.
"Benson Mordecai tried to commit suicide! I need you to drive him to the hospital. Get here quick!" Rigby was panicking.
"What, ok I'll be there in a minute, don't do anything stupid." Benson hung up the phone, and Rigby dialed Skip's number.
"Skips! Get to the house now! It's Mordecai!" Rigby yelled. He didn't wait for a reply before he hung up. Pops made his way downstairs.
"My, what his going on? Rigby? Mordecai?" Pops walked in the kitchen, and then his face turned white and he fainted when he saw Mordecai.
"Mordecai, man get up. You idiot, why would you do this?" Rigby said with tears in his eyes. The front door opened, and Skips ran into the kitchen, or skipped into the kitchen.
He held Mordecai's body in his lap. "He's losing a lot of blood, from what this looks like he did this to himself 5 minutes ago. Rigby you woke up at the right time. We don't have much time, follow me!" Skips held Mordecai carefully as to not stretch his wound.
He started skipping towards the hospital as fast as he could, with Rigby running as fast as he could behind him. They passed Benson's car, and Benson turned his car around and pulled by Skips. "Get in!" he yelled.
It was a good 3 minute drive, which was a lot of time for Mordecai. "What happened?" Benson asked as he started pushing 40 on a 25 mph road.
"He stabbed himself, that's all we know, but we can't ask too many questions right now." Benson pulled up next to the door. Skips got out and Benson went to park his car. Skips signed Mordecai in with sloppy handwriting, but he had Mordecai in his arms.
Two nurses and a doctor came with a bed. "Sir please put the man down on the bed, and wait here." Skips did as he was told. "We'll let you know how he is as soon as we can." Skips took a seat, and picked up a magazine. Benson came in with Rigby sweating behind him.
"You guys ditched me!" He said as he took a seat to the left of Skips, and Benson took the seat to his right.
"Nothing personal." Skips said. Benson stared at the ground trying to process everything.
Then he started asking questions again. "Rigby, what exactly happened?" Rigby explained what he could, but it didn't answer much.
Then again they were quiet. Worried for Mordecai, even Benson. Benson made some calls and slowly the gang started showing up. First Muscle Man, and HFG, and Pops finally woke up he came as well. Thomas came with his Mom, and even Eileen came.
A news reporter came. "Hello my name is Stephanie Lotswood. Do guys find if I talk to you? And don't worry none of this will be public." They nodded their heads, all of them afraid of their voice cracking. "Ok, well how many of you know Margaret Haddad?"
"Yeah, we know her?" Eileen spoke. Stephanie took a seat.
"Tonight she was in a car accident. I regret to inform you she did not survive. A drunk driver was speeding without his headlights on and hit Ms. Haddad causing her car to flip. Neither driver survived actually. I'm very sorry." Eileen began to bawl, and Pops whimpered. A single tear ran down Rigby's face as he went to comfort Eileen.
Skips and Benson just shook their heads in sadness, and Muscle Man and HFG patted each other on the back. Thomas didn't know her, but he knew who she was, and went around comforting the others.
"Again sorry to interrupt in this sad time, it must be very hard, but we wanted you to know the rest. Someone called Mordecai and told him about two hours ago, he never replied, and we think he went on to stab himself. Again, I'm terribly sorry." Even Stephanie wiped her eyes as she got up and left.
Another hour went by until a nurse came to them all. "Good news and bad news. The bad news is Mordecai lost a lot of blood, and he will be very weak for a while. The good news is he is stabilized, and will be ok. Would you like to see him?"
Benson, Skips, Rigby, and Eileen were the ones to go to his room while the rest stayed in the waiting room. Mordecai was awake, and he was looking out the window.
He turned his head and looked at the four. Tears stained his eyes. "Thank you." He muttered.
Rigby wrapped his skinny arms around Mordecai. "I'm sorry man, but don't do that again." Mordecai didn't say anything; instead he nodded with a new understanding. Skips placed his hand on Mordecai's shoulder.
"I'm just glad you're alright, but if you do that again I might just let you die." He said with a wink. Mordecai had a small smile. Now was Benson's turn.
"It's hard now, and it will always hurt, but she would have wanted you to move on eventually. Just take it easy, and if you do something that stupid again you're fired." Benson pulled Mordecai into an awkward hug, and a tear ran down Mordecai's cheek.
Eileen walked over and wrapped her arms around Mordecai. This time Mordecai pulled her into a tight hug, and it lasted a few moments with them both crying softly. No one asked why, no one shared the same pain as the two of them. Eileen lost her best friend, and Mordecai the love of his life.
"Thank you guys." Mordecai said, he felt he needed to be stronger for Eileen. "I reacted without thinking, and it's just I can't bear to live without Margaret, but I'm going to have to now." After that not many words were shared.
Soon Skips and Benson left, but Rigby and Eileen decided to stay in the hospital until Mordecai would be out. It was 5 in the morning and all three of them were asleep. The rest of the guys came in and just patted Mordecai. They looked at the thick bandages around his abdomen.
The doctor had stopped the bleeding, and stitched him up, but he wasn't going to be able to move around much for the next 4 weeks.
Mordecai didn't let it show that night but his wounds were so painful he wished they had let him die. Even in his sleep he cried. Nightmares picturing the accident. Several times he woke up with the nurses messing with his IVs and stuff.
Mordecai was only getting a little bit of sleep, but it was better than nothing. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out his wallet, and then a picture of him and Margaret at the lake together. A tear hit the picture, and Mordecai hugged the picture.
Mordecai's ok, phew. I was getting worried. Margaret is dead :( I was sad writing all the tears in here. So I based his hospital experience on mine from a few weeks ago, lol it sucked, and I was so tired. They were constantly messing with my IVs in my sleep! Anyway keep telling me what you think.
Hawkmeister go bye bye.
