Chapter Twenty-One: Freddy, Don't Die
DEDICATED IN THE MEMORY OF VIRGINA TECH VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
"Who'd do something like this?" Zack asked, almost in agony.
"I hope he comes through...He saved my life 2 months ago. We need to get clues on exactly who this is." Summer replied, beginning to cry. Zack pulled her into his arms, and I noticed Mtv, News Stations, and the Papparazzi trying to come in for their 'latest story'. Freddy isn't a story, he's a human being...who might die.
"One bad thing about being celebrities: The media's trying to break in." I said, shaking, beginning to pace.
The nurses in the I.C.U. looked at us, then out of the windows, then at their phones...which were ringing off of the hook for Freddy. Angie, the lead RN, smiled at us and closed the drapes, right as Pete, Patrick, Joe, Andy, Brendon, Ryan, Spencer, Jon, Greta, Bob, Chris, and Darren came into the waiting room. (A/N:: The first four is Fall Out Boy, the second four is PANIC! at the Disco, and the last four is The Hush Sound, SOR is touring with them...just to let you know!!!)
"How's he doing?" Greta asked softly.
"They're trying to remove the bullet, mend the wound, and stop the bleeding." I replied, and Greta hugged me.
"Is he going to be okay?" Spencer asked us.
"We don't know Spence, we just don't know." Zack sighed, Summer still crying.
My Sidekick started to vibrate, and I answered it like a phone.
"Hello?"
"Katelyn, this is Amy, Fredrick's mother. Is he okay? Did he really get...shot?" Her voice shaking.
"Mrs. Jones, we need to get you and Mr. Jones, my Mother, Summer's Mother, and Zack's parents right here in Seattle, Washington. Mrs. Jones, I'm so sorry." I began to weep into the phone, and Mrs. Jones hung up quickly. I ran out of the room, I sensed someone coming after me, but I ignored it and colapsed against the wall, head in my hands.
"Hey, why are you crying?" A girl's voice asked.
Looking up, I saw the impossible. It was Stacie Orrico, famous singer like...ever on the Christian scene. Also one of my secret idols.
"The love of my life has been shot." I replied, and Stacie sat next to me.
"Hey, you're Katie Brown from School of Rock! So, it's Freddy Jones? I'm sorry, I really am. Want to talk about it?" She asked, touching my arm.
"Yes, but first off, why are you here instead of on your Beautiful Awakening tour?"
"My record company merged with another and I'm putting a hiatus on my new album. I had to come here to get shots because I'm going on a missionary to Africa to help kids with AIDS!" She replied, smiling, which made me smile.
"Oh, I just...love Freddy with all of my heart and I don't want to lose him. I don't know what to do." I felt the tears starting again.
"Katie, do you believe in God?" Stacie asked. I nodded.
"I'm a Catholic Girl and a fan of yours!" I managed to say.
"Pray to God that Freddy will be okay. I know that sounds really cliche, but God really does answer prayers. I couldn't tell you how many times He has answered my prayers and saved me from going down the wrong path. He knows that Freddy Jones is the love of your life and He wants you to see that by putting this struggle in your way. Katie, just pray,and the Lord will answer. Trust me." Stacie said, embracing me.
"Thanks Stacie."
"No problem. Listen, I gotta go...but here's my phone number. Call me anytime, even if I am in Africa!" She joked as I handed her my Sidekick to type in her phone number. She handed my phone back and just disapeered. Like an angel or something.
Crossing myself, I folded my hands in prayer.
Dear God,
I hope I'm not bothering You, but this is really important.
Freddy Jones, the Love of my Life, was shot 5 hours ago, and we cancelled our show for tonight to be here with him. God, I love him more than I've ever loved anyone in my life.
Freddy, don't die.
Amen.
The I.C.U. doctor came into the waiting room just as I did. He had a straight face as he began the sentence.
"Freddy Jones?" He asked us. We all nodded.
"Well, Freddy has..."
