Hey everyone~! Got around to an update today! Very happy about that! So read, review and enjoy!
Once again Jake did not care about the speed limit. All that mattered was getting Alaska to Katie's in time for her life to be saved. When his truck pulled up to their destination he saw that Katie was already outside waiting and ran up to the truck. Air opened the passenger side door and let Katie take Alaska. "I'm going to get started on surgery right away and get these knives removed. Come on inside and take a seat. The others are already on their way," Katie said. "Will do, Katie. Thanks," Jake replied. The woman simply nodded and then headed inside with Alaska in her arms.
Air and Jake gave each other a look that expressed their biggest concern. Would Alaska survive? Then they both made their way into the Pet Parlor without saying a single word. Not even a minute after they were inside and sitting down, Air and Jake heard the others pulling up outside.
"AIR! JAKE!" Shirley yelped loudly in a voice that mixed with worry and fear. She led the other pups and Ryder into the parlor and ran right up to her girlfriend and her girlfriend's owner. "Sh-Shirley..." Air mumbled, as she got out of her chair and pulled her girlfriend in for a hug. Shirley hugged Air back tightly and nuzzled her. "Shh. Shh. Everything will be alright," Shirley whispered softly. Jake found himself sobbing as Ryder hugged him. The other pups gathered around Shirley and Air with looks of fear and sadness. "I CAN'T LOSE HER! I CAN'T! NOT LIKE THIS! NOT WHEN WE'RE THIS YOUNG!" Air howled loudly, as she kept on crying.
After what felt like forever Katie came out of the surgery room. She sighed heavily as she removed her blood gloves from her hands and went to wash her hands in the sink at the other side of the room. Katie sighed as she threw the gloves out into the trash can, that was beside of the sink and began talking. "So I was able to remove the knives and the surgery was a success. I was able to give her more blood so she'll be regaining her strength from all the blood she lost. It's a good thing you found her when you did Jake she was very close to dying," Katie said. As she finished washing her hands and dried them with a towel.
"Thank you, Katie. I owe you one," Jake replied. "You don't owe me anything. I'm glad I was able to save Alaska. She's a darling," Katie responded as she smiled at her friend. Jake gave a small smile back, before sighing as he looked at the floor. "I think Alaska needs to be put in hospital," Ryder added in. "She tried to kill herself and almost did so... If she's put on twenty four seven watch the doctors will make sure she's okay. They'll even send in a therapist to see her,"
"I agree, Ryder," Jake said. "If Alaska is ever going to get better she needs to be somewhere with professionals that can help her,"
"Alaska should go there by ambulance. It's the safest way to move her after she's just had surgery. She's still asleep from the medicine I gave her before I started fixing her up, but it should wear off soon," Katie said. "Alright. I'll step outside and call the hospital," Jake nodded. He walked outside with his cell phone in hand as he took deep breaths.
"How long do you think Alaska will be there?" Ocean asked. "Well since this was an attempted suicide I'd say a week at the most," Ryder answered. "I don't think a week is long enough..." Air muttered. "I agree, but the hospitals don't keep anyone as long as they used to," Ryder sighed.
When Jake came back sat down with everyone else as they waited for the ambulance to arrive. When it Katie led the paramedics to the surgery room where Alaska was still asleep from the medicine she was given. Jake had Air ride with Alaska in the back of the ambulance while he followed in his truck with the others right behind him.
