The next day
It was the day after last night. Will, Grace and Jack were told to go home shortly after the doctor told them Karen only has five per cent chance of living. Jack had stayed at Will and Grace's he didn't want to be alone, none of them had slept that night but all justed stayed in their beds (sofa for jack) crying and praying for Karen. It was 11am that the doctor told them to come back, and of course they were right on time it was 11am whenthey entered the reception. Will went up to ask for Doctor Martin.
'He will be with you in a minute' the receptionist replied
'Ok thanks' will said and returned to Grace and Jack.
Shortly after Doctor Martin appeared all three jumped up to greet him
'How is she doing?' Jack asked curiously
'Im sorry no improvement' the doctor said sympathetically
'Can we go and see her?' Grace asked
'Yea sure, but before you do I will warn you now so you don't get a shock when you walk in she is hooked up to a few machines there are wires everywhere, so just prepare yourself' the doctor warned, all three nodded and followed the doctor.
When they reached the room Karen was in, the doctor opened the door and stood there, Jack was the first to enter and even though the doctor warned them nothing could prepare them for what they were to see. Jack walked in he hesitated at first looking around the room at the machines, the room was quiet dark a few lamps were on and there was a constant beeping noise. He skimmed his eyes round the room then laid his eyes on the bed at his best friend, he quickly walked over to her followed by Will and Grace who had dropped back at bit so Jack could see her first, and even they were shocked at the room and eveything.
'Oh karen' he whispered, he sat in the chair to the right of her and took her hand, then he reached up with his over hand and brushed her face, his eyes started to get teary but he was determined not to cry, to stay strong for his best friend.
Will and Grace went to Karen's other side, the side that had been damaged, Will put his arm round Grace, while Grace took Karen's hand and both were also determined not to cry. After about a minute silence Grace spoke.
'She looks so peaceful' the doctor then came over and stood at the foot of the bed.
'I can promise you she isn't in any pain' he said comforting
'Can she hear?' Jack asked
'I'm afraid not, she is in a coma, she must have went in a coma before she reached the hospital due to the amount of blood she lost' the doctor answered, jack looked at him then back down to Karen,
'Come on kare bear your too strong to be like this, we all believe in you, we believe you can pull through' Jack said and started to cry even though he knewshe couldn't hear Jack still felt like she knew what was going on and he didn't want her knowing that he was crying,
'Im sorry' he cried and ran out of the room.
'I'll go' will said and left the room.
Will hunted everywhere for Jack he knew he was still around cause Jack couldn't drive. He went back into the waiting room after looking in the toilets but he wasn't there, Will was about to turn around when he saw Jack outside the main doors, standing by the railings that over looked the hospital lake, so will went out to get him.
Outside
Will went up to Jack and stood a few meters behind him, he was about to say something when Jack did,
'She does look so peaceful' he said, he had sensed that someone was behind him and guessed it was either Will or Grace. Will walked up to him
'I know' he replied
'I don't know what I'll do without her' Jack continued still not taking his eyes of the water below
'Jack she will pull through'
'Oh who are we kidding will' Jack said with an angrier tone
'But Jack what you said in there we believe in her'
'I don't want her to know, that we know there is more of a chance for her…..yea'
'Jack she can't hear, she doesn't know' will said, Jack just shrugged 'Jack if you don't believe in her, then is there any point of everyone else' will said he was getting angry by the jack was acting
'What is that meant to mean'
'Come on jack if Karen knew and she had to pick one of us three to be strong for her and believe in her who do you think she will pick?' jack didn't answer
'Come jack who do you think she will pick?'
'Me I guess'
'Right because you're her best friend right'
'Yea I'm her poodle'
'Well then if you, her poodle can't be strong for her then who else can? Jack I know your hurting inside, I know your angry, upset but you have to be strong for her, you have to believe in her'
'I just hate seeing her like that, the past month all I've seen in her is heart ache and pain, come on will you must of seen that too'
'I have jack, and I also know what a strong powerful woman she is, she wont let anyone knock her down'
'I know but just when she started to get back to herself it all came crushing down and now we don't even know if she will come out of that hospital alive'
'But that's just it Jack the doctors and nurses don't know her like we do, they are just giving the diagnosis, but they don't know she wont give up without a fight, but we do and we need to help her by been strong' Will looked at Jack who was know crying
'I can just imagine her know watching us like this' Jack joked
'Yea it's the perfect situation for her to be making up new insults' will joked back
'Not much her big strong man now'jack said and thenwill and jack smiled each other and then hugged
'Come on lets go back' will said breaking of the hug, and they both went back up to Grace and Karen.
