Crosshairs POV
"Help me!" I yelled, Hound helped me get J.R. down onto the floor. She's awake but gasping for air.
Doubt she'll be awake for long.
"Forgot about the capsule we need to get her to the medbay," Bumblebee tells us. I picked J.R. up and rushed down to the medbay. J.R. is still gasping for air.
"I can't breathe, help me," she pleads.
Fuck, this has to mean she's worse than Jayce during a panic attack.
"She's going to pass out, I'm putting her on the ventilator," Cade says. He's right, J.R.'s oxygen is dangerously low.
"You'll be ok," I tell J.R. as Cade injects the sedation drugs.
"Don't let me die," J.R. struggled to say before closing her eyes.
I watch Cade put the tube in, hoping I was in time. Though in time means I stopped her, not she's at death's door.
"They're going to sense this, we're screwed," Hound points out.
"And with Jayce's mental state, fuck. Did J.R. just set off a chain of events?" Bee asks.
Not even five minutes pass before Jayce runs in and screams. Drift walks in afterward, and we watch Jayce fight him as he tries to get her to leave.
"Go! This means Jamie is sensing the change in J.R. energy!" I yelled at Drift as Bee and Hound got Jayce to the ground. Drift runs out of the room.
"You've got to be kidding me," I say, watching Jayce in a seizure.
If that's her response to this, we're fucked.
Jayce is crying when she's out of the seizure. I sit on the floor and hold her on my lap.
"Shh, you're ok."
"J.R. is dead," Jayce sobs.|
Fuck, is that how low her energy is?
I can't see the monitor from here.
Cade POV
Shit, we didn't plan for this situation though we should have. I'm texting Bulma about this, though I doubt she'll be much help, as Jamie comes in and screams.
Oh, fuck, please don't tell me she's going to respond like Jayce.
Drift rushed in and gets Jamie to sit on the floor with him.
Damn J.R., you worried this would happen if Jayce tried to kill herself. What happened that now you're at death's door?
I tell Jamie and Jayce that I.R. will be ok. Her oxygen level is low, but she should be ok in a day or two. Though knowing J.R. will be in a coma scares them. The two girls don't want to leave the room. Crosshairs and Drift carried the two girls out of the room.
"Nothing you two can do here. Go help Crosshairs and Drift," I tell Bumblebee and Hound.
"Damn, J.R., you have no idea what you just caused. This wasn't the way."
The next day
J.R. recovered faster than I thought. I took her off the ventilator early this morning. She woke up as Crosshairs walked in. He sits by the bed and takes her hand. I know he'd like to lecture her but not now. She's half out of it and still needs a little oxygen support.
"You're going to be ok," Crosshairs tells her as I put the oxygen mask on her.
"Go ahead," I tell leaving. I know he wants to hold her, and J.R. wants him to.
She's scared and needs you.
Jamie and Jayce are still asleep. Hound tells me it was a rough night for both the girls.
Fuck, now Jamie has nightmares.
Jayce POV
I can't believe she tried to kill herself. You weren't showing all of your emotions, were you J.R.?
Sitting at the edge of the bed, feeling lost like J.R. died.
I walked past Bumblebee, who's sleeping at my desk, and walk out of the room.
Drift walks out of the room, carrying Jamie.
She looks at me when Drift stops next to me.
Damn, she's been up all night, crying.
Jamie is exhausted, and her eyes are red and puffy.
She can't concentrate on J.R.'s energy.
Drift gives me a look as if he's saying, 'this is how she'll be if you try again.'
We go downstairs to the medbay.
J.R. hates how awful Jamie looks. It's a brief visit before Drift takes Jamie out of the room.
"You see what you did, J.R.? What would happen if you try again, Jayce? Crosshairs asks us.
"Four months of this, it hurts, I can't take it anymore."
Crosshairs said nothing; he put me on his lap and hugged me.
Five hours later
J R. Is out of medbay; we stay on the couch to not worry the Autobots and Cade.
"I don't know what to do. The pain hurts worse than physical wounds. Four months of this, I will not recover."
"We're going to have to give in. Drift can help Jamie better this way than if we're dead."
Sure enough, Crosshairs and Drift heard us.
"No, stop repeating yourselves. It's not working," I beg before crying. Drift does what he always does to comfort me as Crosshairs sits next to J.R. Jamie comes back ten minutes later and sits with us. The others join soon after, and we all watch T.V. like we used to.
Six hours later
Jamie fell asleep; it's cute seeing her asleep on Drift. I left my phone in my room.
"Aww, look at the cute couple," Crosshairs teased. J.R. and I both laughed.
"Here, I have my phone," J.R. says, handing me her phone. Drift knows I love taking pictures of him and Jamie. I take the picture and send it to my phone before Drift carries Jamie to bed.
Drift POV
How long are you going to sleep? I worry you're like Jayce and J.R. now.
I sit on the bed, still holding Jamie. Jayce and J.R. walk in two minutes later. Crosshairs comes in soon after. The two girls have a concerned expression.
"She'll be fine," I assured them though I might be lying. I get a good look at J.R.'s neck.
Damn, you're lucky Crosshairs didn't take longer to get to you.
Bumblebee and Hound come in to take the two girls out of the room.
"So?" Crosshairs asks.
"I don't know if last night was rough because of what happened or she's like them now," I sighed.
"Damn it, so are we going to try Bee's idea?"
"What else can we do? Just going to be a challenge if the three girls can't sleep. Dealing with Jayce being exhausted has been easy, but all three of them."
We told each other how terrified we are Jayce or J.R. will kill themselves. Crosshairs insists on staying here tonight as Bumblebee comes in telling us Jayce us afraid to leave J.R. though Hound is staying with her.
Still carrying Jamie, I go with Crosshairs to J.R.'s room.
"No, I'm not leaving her alone," Jayce cries, unaware J.R. is getting scared and trying to leave the room. I'm standing at the doorway. I take her hand and take her with me to Jamie's room.
She knows what could happen.
"You know you'll wake her up when you wake up from a nightmare," I hear Crosshairs say as we leave.
J.R. watches me put Jamie to bed, scared what might be going in Jayce's room.
At least I can try to get her to fall asleep in here. Trying my best to keep J.R. quiet and get her to fall asleep, but she ends up crying. I take her out of the room and sit in the hallway by the room. J.R. is asleep ten minutes later.
Damn it, most would give up on them since they're becoming more of a challenge, and it's exhausting, but we will not give up.
Crosshairs walks over to me five minutes later.
We made plans for tomorrow, depending on how the three girls are. We might be going out, or we'll have three depresses girls.
"We're running out of ideas, but I will not give up on them," Crosshairs says before taking J.R. from me and carrying her to her room.
Crosshairs POV
Things may get more challenging and terrifying before they get better, things might not get better, but I mean it; I will not give up on the three girls, and I know the others won't either. Still, we want to help Jayce and J.R. get over this... somehow.
