Bringer of Futures
Chapter 6: For me?
*****
12 nurses, 3 doctors and 4, neurosurgeons busted into the room within 2 seconds of Peter flat lining. They grabbed at several wires and machinery and doctors were screaming commands. 6 horrified teenagers and 3 councilors were standing outside the room crying and breaking down. Scott and Shelby were quiet. They had nothing to say... it was all a shock to them. Roger was holding Hannah as she cried and Jeff was trying to comfort Juliette. Daisy had a look of 'I told ya so' on her face and David was actually crying. He actually cared for once. Auggie was also in shock but as soon as he caught a glimpse of Jules his heart sank into tears. By then Scott had a crying and shaking Shelby in his arms. Within minutes Shelby's hair was wet with Scott's many tears. All in all they were a mess. No one was quiet. Words like 'It's okay, and 'He's strong' were heard as a doctor stepped out of the room.
The doctors hair was messy and he had bloody rubber gloves on his hands that he was taking off.
"He flat lined. We weren't able to get him back. " The doctor said. The only thing that made Shelby stand out from the others was a blood curdling scream of NO! Her feet jumped into action as she rammed past several security guards and doctors into Peters room. She latched onto the bed with one hand while her other hand beat on his chest.
"WHY!! WHY!! YOU YOU were my hero. I had a HERO! And it WAS you! You wake up NOW or I'll pull the plug MYSELF!!" She screamed just as a doctor grabbed her out of the room but just as she left she heard a sound. A rather beautiful sound if you were her.
"beeeeeeeeepppp Beep beep beep beep beep" He was living. The doctors all were in shock. They, unlike the Cliffhangers, pulled themselves together as they wheeled Peter up to the ICU. He needed liver surgery and he needed it fast. But who was compatible.... who could save Peters life?
*****
Back in Tibet Sophie was lounging on the couch. She wasn't really happy... all she wanted was to go back in time to where she could stop Peter from kissing Hannah. He said he didn't mean it... did he? Suddenly a long burst of courage came over her as she grabbed her keys and blasted out of the door.
She was driving for only minutes when she saw a squad of police in a yard close by. She stopped there to check out the scene.
"Excuse me?" She asked. A police officer came up to her "What are you guys doing?" She asked.
"Drug bust." The officer simply answered. Sophie was curious now.
"Uh.. who did you bust. I have a right to know since I do live in the neighborhood." She said trying to sound like she cared. She did but not really. (if that makes any sense).
"Some guy. Here... we got a picture of him." The officer held up and picture. Sophie fell to the ground holding it to her chest. It was Peter. Now that sudden burst of courage turned into a long, permanent fiery passion for Peter. She was concerned. Perhaps you could call her pissed but whatever it was she wanted to find Peter and she wanted to chew through his skull right then!
"Where is the Son- I mean where is the man now!? I Know him and I'm... concerned." Sophie said through gritted teeth. The officer didn't really have the authorization but he wanted this lady out of his hair so he could get back to work.
"Washington state Medical Care center. Fell from a cliff and injured himself pretty seriously. He passed out and has been having rapid and sudden spells of shaking in his sleep. I guess its withdrawal." The officer explained and shooed Sophie away. Her eyes narrowed at the mention of him going through withdrawal.. PETER going through withdrawal.. him of all people.
She got back into her car and slammed on the gas going 23 miles over the speed limit and not caring.

"He's in critical condition. In a coma for who knows how long. Some of our top doctors believe once the surgery is through we should be able to knock him out of the coma... only he really needs that new liver fast. We have NO transplants ready... yet." Doctor Maxon told the Cliffhangers, Jeff, Roger, and Hannah.
"I'll do it." They all said in unison. Hannah smiled.
"What we mean is we all will get tested and if one of the children is compatible we have to get consent from their parents first." Hannah explained. The doctor nodded and Scott went with him first.
3 Hours later the last Cliffhanger which was David came out. Even if he was compatible they didn't know if General Ruxton would let David do the transplant. He was their last hope..... Slowly David walked up to the Cliffhangers and shook his head as a tear dropped down each of their faces.
*****
"Damn him, damn him, damn him," Sophie exclaimed slamming on her breaks at the airport. She had a 2 way ticket so going through the ticket line was not necessary. She went straight to security and luggage as she boarded the plane. The whole ride back was a shock to Sophie. She expected fear... all she got was anger.
*****
Several hours later Peter woke up to the sight of two teens sitting by his side. 'Ah the famous blonde couple' He thought. Scott was sitting beside Shelby on a sofa. Shelby's head was leaned against Scotts shoulder and Scotts head was on Shelby's head. They were both asleep... only calling it a peaceful sleep would be exaggerating. Their faces were overflowing with concern and dried tears were evident upon their red and saddened faces.
"Hey" Peter managed to squeak out. Scott and Shelby instantly woke up and were at Peters side in seconds. Suddenly a wave of nausea came over Peter as he spit out 7 words.
"Will she ever come back to me?" The weak man slipped back into his coma as Shelby cried yet again. They situated themselves on the sofa again and soon, they too, were in a deep sleep.
*****
"Ohhh.. your mine Peter Scarbrow!!" Sophie yelled from the back of a taxi. She was in Washington. From what she knew she was 3 minutes away from ripping Peters head off. She hoped he wasn't dead yet. Quickly, she paid the driver and rushed up to the emergency room to 'visit' Peter. Once there her heart sank. Was there still anger? No. There was sadness that filled her heart to the very edge... her hearts tears spilled over as she clung to Peter.
"Soph?" Peter groggily asked.
"Yeah?!!" She asked surprised.
"I'm sorry....." He flat lined again. This time over twenty doctors rushed him into surgery. Sophie fell onto her knees. A doctor came into the room where they all were.
"Have you all I mean ALL taken the test?" She asked.
"What test?" Sophie asked hopefully.
"Peter needs a liver. Have you taken the compatibility test yet?"
"No!.. take me in there now!" Sophie exclaimed and followed the doctor.
*****
Sophie came running into the lobby screaming with the test results. They were positive... she could help Peter.... if she wanted to.
"So are you up to it?" Shelby asked, hope in her eyes.
"Yeah.. you know what I am...."
