It had been 4 days since Karen went to hospital. Every day Will, Grace and Jack had been to see her, and still no improvement, but she wasn't getting any worst all three saw that as a good sign but each time the doctor had to keep reminding them of her condition and making sure that they didn't get their hopes up to high.
It had been 4 days and Will and Grace had decided to go back to work as Jack didn't work he didn't get a choice, but if he did will and Grace knew that it would be to be by Karen.
All three were at Will and Grace's eating breakfast.
'So do you want a lift Jack?' will asked
'Um no it's ok I'm going shopping first to find her the biggest bear' he replied
'Using her credit card?' will joked
'No' jack said pulling a face 'it's just going to so weird shopping without her. Do you want me to get anything from you to her?'
'That's alright we'll get her something on my way there' will replied
'It's just weird what do we get her?' grace asked, will and Jack looked at her; they knew what she meant what do you get someone when there is a chance they wouldn't come out of hospital?
'I know, but we need to be and think positive for her, so something that she would like when she comes out' will answered
'Don't think I can afford another map of Mexico' Grace replied.
At the hospital
Jack had just arrived he came in carrying a big pink teddy bear; he walked up to the desk and saw Doctor Martin
'Hay Jack, bear for karen I take it' he said
'Hay, yea a pink bear for my bear'
'That's sweet, she is very lucky to have you, and would be very stupid to leave' the doctor said jack smiled
'How is she?' He asked the doctor didn't answer but just looked at him, Jack knew, 'can I see her?'
'Yea sure, just go in'.
Jack walked in and sat in his chair, he always sat to the right of her, he didn't like the idea of been on her left where the entire stab wounds where. He took her hand in his,
'Hay kare, I got you a teddy bear I know you're like it' Jack said then put it on the floor, he then looked at his best friend for a minute or two before speaking
'Will and Grace will be here later, and Rosie sends her love she's sorry she hasn't visited yet she said she will but she's a bit tied up at the moment, she is still in shock to finding you' jack didn't know what to say to her, he knew she couldn't hear, but it felt like she could,
'Oh kare…..' jack started crying, he hadn't cried since she had been there, now been there on his own, it really hit him 'I know I'm meant to be strong for you, but I cant I keep thinking what if…oh kare I'm sorry I shouldn't be thinking it, but I cant help it what am I going to do without you, I cant go on without you, what about our pact right now kare I know I'm gay and I always will be but that pact was so we didn't have to be alone anymore, please kare be strong in a few weeks me and you will be sitting some where laughing about this me crying' jack stopped and rest his head on her shoulder 'Come on Kare' he whispered a few minutes later jack was asleep.
It was a few hours later and Jack was still asleep, his head on Karen shoulder and holding her hand, he didn't hear will or grace come in
'Jack…jack' grace shock him till he woke up
'Oh hi grace hi will' jack said sleepily, he then looked down at Karen
'How is she doing?' will asked as him and grace pulled two sits up to her bed on the left
'Nothing' jack said
'She will' grace said
'What did you get her?' jack asked
'We didn't get time to shop yet' will said 'where's the bear?'
'Here' jack pulled the bear of the floor; it was pink and on the stomach said 'get well soon'
'Cute' Grace said.
All three sat round Karen for about another two hours talking, about Karen, work and life in general, when the doctor came in,
'Hay I'm sorry but visiting time is over'
'Oh ok' will said getting up, jack and grace also got up, all three gave Karen a kiss on the cheek and said goodbye to her then left.
It was the middle of the night or around that time jack didn't know, he was on Will's sofa where he had been staying listening to his walkman when 'Robbie Williams's song angels' can on, he laid and listened to it, while all the time thinking of Karen
I
sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they
know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I
have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when
I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel
the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it
all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether
I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take
me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she
won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling
weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And
I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling
grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm
loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me
protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or
wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know
that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake
me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers
me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or
wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know
that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake
me
I'm loving angels instead
This song reminded him of him and Karen, he told himself to tell Karen that this was their song.
The next song that came on was also 'Robbie Williams something beautiful'
You
can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful that day.
A
love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical these days
You
analyze everyone you meet
But get no sign, love ain't kind
every
night you admit defeat
and cry yourself blind
If you can't
wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If
you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you
might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find
it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and
lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said
on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
In the past you
cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just
couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they
can't see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified,
when they lived alone
All your friends think you're
satisfied
But they can't see your soul no no no
Forgot the time
feeling petrified
When they lived alone
Jack wondered if this song describes Karen's feelings, she showed a strong powerful woman on the outside but what about on the inside……
