Hospital blues
Pacey couldn't catch his breath. He was scrambling for his keys when the phone rang. The caller id showed the hospital's #. What if they are calling to say she died?
"Hello?"
"Pacey, I'm at the hospital already."
"Bess how is she?"
"She is not doing well. Her heart stopped but they brought her back."
"I'll be right there."
Pacey hung up the phone and ran to his car. It took him ten minutes to get to the hospital. He ran inside and asked for Josephine Potter. When Pacey got to the room Bessie was outside because the doctors were checking her.
"What are they doing now?"
"They're just checking her vitals now. She has a weak heart beat."
"Bess, I should have gone to the store myself."
"Pacey, this is not your fault. Don't ever blame yourself."
Andie came running down the hallway.
"How's Joey? I came as soon as I heard."
"She's not so well. I just came myself."
"Oh Pacey." Andie and Pacey were hugging. They were both crying."
Dawson and jack stood up and hugged them.
"Don't worry Pace, she's a fighter."
"Thanks Jack. I don't know what I'll do without her."
"How is she Bessie?"
"Well Dawson, her heart stopped but they got her back."
The doctor came out and Pacey talked to her.
"What happened?"
"Josephine got into an automobile accident. The car that was going the opposite direction was going to fast and hit the driver's seat. The car spun a few times and hit the wall. She was found unconscious. They brought her here and her heart stopped. She was revived. She had some bleeding but no internal bleeding. She has some head trauma but I don't think she lost anything. Her arm is broken and so is her left leg. Her heart rate is low but she is stable right now."
"Can I see her?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm her fiancé."
"She's been calling you. You can see her for ten minutes but no more. She needs her rest."
Pacey nodded his head and went in. Joey had all of these machines connected to her. She was sleeping. He went over to her and kissed her forehead.
"Pacey?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"I don't look so great do I?"
"You are always beautiful."
"I was told my heart stopped."
"It did, but now your back."
"Yeah."
"Joey I should have went to the store myself."
"Pacey if I die, I want you to know that this was not your fault."
"Don't talk like that. You're not going to die. You're going to get better and we are going to get married and have a nice house and lots of kids."
"That sounds nice. I love you Pacey. I've always loved you and I always will. You are my life."
"I love you so much. You can't go because I won't make it without you."
"You can Pacey. You will make a difference in this world. You've already changed my life."
"I won't. I need you Joey. You are my life."
"Pacey if it's right it will work out nicely."
"Every one is waiting to see you."
"I need to sleep. I love you."
"I love you too." Pacey was balling by then.
Joey kissed him, smiled, and then closed her eyes. All of a sudden there was a loud long noise. (Eeeeeeeeeeee.) The doctors rushed in and pushed Pacey out.
"Wait! What's wrong?"
"Her heart went into asystole."
"What's that?"
"Her heart stopped."
Pacey couldn't catch his breath. He was scrambling for his keys when the phone rang. The caller id showed the hospital's #. What if they are calling to say she died?
