Kennedy hoped into the car and sped all the way to the hospital. She was so tired and she felt her head start to give way. She closed her eyes, but quickly opened them only to dodge running into the rail on the side of the road. "Wake up!" she yelled. She stepped harder on the gas and hurried to the hospital. She was the only one going because Green had stopped the boys to ask questions. She saw the sign for the hospital and sped in there cutting all traffic off. She quickly parked, forgetting her keys in the car and took off running into the emergency room. She ran straight to the front desk.
"Jack Mercer!" she yelled not meaning to trying to catch her breath. "Where is he?"
"Excuse me?"
"A boy that was just shot was brought in here and I need to see him. Where is he?" She felt dizzy but shook it off
"They took him into the back." The nurse replied watching Kennedy. "Are you ok?"
"I just need…." Kennedy started but fell backwards hitting the ground. The nurse quickly got up
"I need a doctor!" she yelled rushing over to Kennedy. She grabbed her head and held it in her hands. She saw all the blood all over Kennedy's hands. Two doctors came rushing over to them and one quickly reading Kennedy's vital signs. He picked her up and rushed her inside the closing doors leaving the nurse still on the floor. They quickly put her on the bed and began hooking monitors to her.
"Who is she?" one asked
The other doctor looked and saw she had her purse still attached to her arm. He reached in and pulled out her driver's license. "Kennedy Wilson. She's 21."
"Come let's get her hooked up. She is running a very high fever and I think…" Suddenly Kennedy opened her eyes and saw she was in a white room.
"Jack?" she whimpered.
"Shhhh. It's ok. You are in the hospital." The doctor leaned down and told her.
"Why?" she whispered
"You passed out. You are very sick and you are running a very high fever. Are you feeling alright now?"
"I don't know what's going on. Where's Jack? Is he is ok?"
"Jack who?"
"Mercer."
"The boy they just brought in." the nurse replied walking in.
Kennedy looked at her. "Is he ok?" Everyone just looked at each other. Kennedy began looking around the room. She looked down at her hand that had the IV in it and saw that blood was all over her, her hands. She began to shake. She looked at the doctors. "Where is he? I want to see him!" she yelled. She began trying to get the IV out of her hand. She began to panic.
"Calm down sweetheart. Everything is going to be ok." The doctor replied trying to calm her down.
Kennedy began to cry uncontrollably. "Where is he? Where did you take him? He needs me!" she yelled. She couldn't get the IV out. She began panting again, and looking around the room. "Blood! Get it off of me!" she yelled rubbing her hands.
"Calm down Kennedy!" the doctor replied
Kennedy shoved him way and just ripped the IV out of her hand. She yelled before hitting the ground holding onto her hand. The doctor came over to her and helped her help. She collapsed again in his arms. He picked her up and laid her back down on the bed. The nurse held onto her arm as they put another IV in and gave her medicine to calm her down. Kennedy was looking around the room, when all of the sudden she began drowsy. She whispered for Jack one more time before closing her eyes.
The Mercer boys finally came running into the waiting room looking around for Kennedy. Jerry walked up to the front desk
"Did a girl come in here about an ago with our brother who was shot?" he asked
"What's the name?"
"Well the girls name is Kennedy Wilson and my brother's name is Jack Mercer."
"They are both in the back. Kennedy's room is 215 and Jack is in the ER."
"Excuse me?" Jerry asked looking confused
"Look, were the fuck is my brother?" Bobby asked getting annoyed
"Bobby, Kennedy's in here to." Jerry replied
"I know she came first." Bobby replied
"No, I mean she is in the hospital room."
"What happened?" Angel asked
"She passed out when she arrived so they had to help her. Then she woke up freaking out. She went into a state of shock. She is under control right now, but they had to put her to sleep."
"And Jack?"
"He is in critical condition right now."
"What the does that mean?" Jerry asked
"The bullets pierced two of his major arteries." She looked up. "I'm sorry I'm not allowed to give this information out. You will need to talk to the doctor. He is in with Kennedy right now." She got up from the desk and walked in through the door they had taken both Jack and Kennedy. The boys followed behind until they came to Room 215. Bobby was the first to go in.
"Excuse me family only." The doctor replied turning around
"We are family. We already talked to the nurse up front." Jerry replied
"How is she?" Angel asked
"She's doing better. It kind of took her by surprise that Jack was shot. She should wake up any minute now."
"Have you heard anything about Jack?"
"Your brother is in critical condition. Two bullets pierced two major arteries, causing him to bleed internally. He lost a lot of blood and we need to keep pumping it into him to keep him alive. We are having blood flown in from NY."
"Is he going to die?" Bobby asked "Am I going to have to bury him too?"
"Right now, I can't tell you that. It's too soon to know anything."
"So can we see him?" Jerry asked
"Not just yet. No one is allowed in the ER. I will tell you when you can see him, but for now stay with her and make sure that she is ok. Don't let her get worked up."
Bobby grabbed a chair and sat down beside the bed. He put his hands up in a prayer position and laid his head on them.
"What are we going to do?" Angel asked
"I don't know. I don't know what to do anymore." Bobby replied "This should have never happened. Jack should have never been involved. He even said he didn't want to do it, but I was just so caught up in finding who killed Ma that I didn't care. Now look where he is. He's dying and I can't do shit about it."
"Bobby, we are going to find that fucker that did this to our family." Angel replied clinching his fist.
Kennedy slowly opened her eyes and smiled a little "Never stop do you?" she whispered
"What the hell is your problem?" Bobby yelled
"Huh?" she asked
"You were suppose to look after him not be in here with him."
"I don't know what happened. I just remember asking where he was then I was on the ground. How is he?" she asked
Bobby turned around to his brothers before turning back to her. "He's doing well."
"You suck a lying Bobby Mercer." She whispered with a little laugh
Bobby chuckled. "The doctor doesn't know too much right now. He said it was too soon to tell."
"But he's still alive right?"
Bobby nodded his head. "What did Green have to say? Are you guys going to be alright?" she asked
"He said it was self defense." Angel replied
"I guess there is some good in cops huh?" she asked referring her statement to Bobby. Bobby smiled at her
"Fowler has something to do with all this though." Bobby replied
"Figures. That prick knew it from the moment he stepped through that gate that this was going to happen."
"How are you feeling?" Angel asked
"Sleepy and my head hurts. I hit the ground pretty hard in the waiting room."
"You need to get some rest." Jerry replied
"I can't sleep right now. Too much is going through my head."
"Yeah I doubt I will be sleeping any tonight either." Angel replied with a smile
"I just want to see him. Let him know that I am there with him."
"He knows you are here." Angel replied "He knows that you will never leave him."
"Does he?" she asked softly
"Yeah I think he does."
"Bobby, are you ok?" she asked noticing that he had his head in his hands again. "You thinking about Jack?"
Bobby looked up at her
"I just can't help but think somehow this is my fault." Bobby replied
"Its not. None of it is." Kennedy replied
"I don't know what I would do if I lost him. We just lost ma."
"We can't talk about that. We have to be positive."
"How the hell can you get something positive out of this situation?"
Kennedy just looked at him. "Jack asked me to marry him." She replied smiling "Last night when he came up to check on me, he asked me to marry him."
A smile came across Angel's face. "That's great sweetheart."
Kennedy breathed in deep and slowly let it out. "You alright?" bobby asked
"Yeah I'm just stressing myself out. You said it yourself that he was alright."
Bobby looked at her with sympathic eyes. "He is going to be alright isn't he?" she asked
"Ken, he lost a lot of blood. Too much actually. Two bullets his two major arteries. They are having blood flown in from New York to give to him. They don't know too much about what's going to happen to him." Bobby replied
"So they are just waiting on him to die is that it?" Kennedy asked
"They are waiting on the blood to come so they can save him." Angel replied "He's not doing too well."
"He was shot multiple times, its amazing that he's alive period." Jerry replied
"Why him?" Kennedy asked laying her head back as tears streamed down her face. Bobby tried grabbed her hand but she pulled away. She rolled over on her side facing the opposite side of the brothers.
"Ken…" Bobby replied
"Just leave." She whispered.
"He's going to be alright." Bobby replied
"I said get out!" she yelled. "I don't want to talk about it anymore." She wiped her tears away. Bobby got up from the seat and walked over to the other side of the bed. He rubbed the side of her face and wiped the tears away. "He suppose to be here with me, making sure that I am ok. Not me making sure he's ok. He was always the strongest and I don't know how to be strong. I'm so scared Bobby. I don't know what I will do if lost him."
"You listen to me…" Bobby began "You aren't going to lose him. He is going to be alright. We just have to pray for our brother and make sure this time that God hears us."
There was a knock on the door before the doctor walked in. "Ms. Wilson, you're awake." He chimed "Its good to see you. I don't think you remember me." The doctor asked "I thought I told you that I didn't want to see you back in this place." He replied with a smile on his face.
"Ryan." Kennedy replied softly with a smile on her face. "You became a doctor?"
"Yep, finally got my PH.D." Ryan replied sounding proud of himself. "What happened here?"
"I just passed out from being sick."
"Your chart said that you have a fever of 101 now. Good its going down. Where's Jack?" he asked
Kennedy turned away. "I'm sorry I didn't know." Ryan replied
"He was shot. He's in the ER right now." Jerry replied
"Well then, I guess you have advantage." Ryan replied making Kennedy turn around
"What?" she asked
"I will go up there for you and see how he is doing. I will let you know if you can come see him and we will get you a wheelchair and wheel you up there to see him. How does that sound?"
Kennedy smiled softly and nodded her head. "Well you rest up and I will be right back."
Ryan smiled at her one last time before leaving the room.
"I don't know if I want to see him you guys." Kennedy admitted.
"Why?" Bobby asked
"I don't think I can bear it. He probably doesn't even look like himself."
"You need to go see him sweetheart. He needs know that you are here with him." Angel replied
Tears streamed down her face. "Wow, I cant believe this happened in 2 weeks." She replied closing her eyes. "You guys come back and now everything is turned upside down."
"Yeah I cant believe it either." Bobby replied "Real fucked up."
A few hours later Ryan came back to Kennedy's room. First he started looking at her chart again and making sure everything was alright before pulling the chair up to the bed. He smiled down at Kennedy. "Well?" Kennedy asked
"You can go see Jack. He's not awake." Ryan replied "Now Kennedy, Jack is in a very bad condition right now. He has tubes hooked in him everywhere. He has a machine breathing for him. They are pumping blood into him. He is unconscious but he can hear you. You cant be up there very long but I got it to where you actually go see him for a few minutes. Now I am going to go get the wheel chair and we will go up there. Ryan replied
Kennedy looked over at the brothers with a scared look on her face. "Say hey for me." Jerry replied
"Tell him we are here for him." Angel replied
"Yeah that little fairy that his ass is mine when he wakes up." Bobby replied with a smile. Kennedy couldn't help but smile at Bobby before rolling her eyes. Ryan came back in with the wheel chair. He helped her out of the bed and brought the IV cart around to the side and rolled her out the door to the elevator. She breathed in deeply as she watched the doors close.
"You ok?" Ryan asked
"Yeah I just don't know what to expect."
"Expect the worse. He looks bad Kennedy,. I'm not going to lie to you. He was shot multiple times, and he is holding onto his life."
"I wish you would lie to me."
"Have I ever?"
She looked up at him and shook her head with a little smile on her face. The doors opened and she saw doctors and nurses rushing around in front of her. She took in a deep breath again, until they came to a curtain that was closed. She closed her eyes. She knew once that curtain was opened she was see Jack laying there, looking lifeless. She knew that she would just break down and start crying. She would want to take his place. Ryan opened the curtain and just as she thought she began to cry. With the help of Ryan, she got out of the wheelchair and walked over to his side. She rubbed the side of his face. Ryan was right it didn't look like him. He had tubes all in his nose and mouth. Two was coming out of his arm. She closed her eyes and let the tears fall down. She heard the curtain close behind her, knowing that Ryan had left them alone. She leaned down and kissed him softly on the cheek. "Hey there." She whispered "Your brothers are downstairs worried about you. Angel told me to tell you that they are here, waiting for you to wake up. Jerry wanted you to know that he's here. Bobby, well Bobby's still Bobby. He said he was going to kick your ass when you got out of here. I bet you'll be the one kicking his ass, but don't tell him I said that." She laughed softly through her tears. "I'm here too. I'm not going to leave you Jack, but you have to wake up. You have to open your eyes so we can be together and I wont worry about you anymore. You wont guess who is a doctor here now. Ryan, you remember him from when we were seventeen and all that shit happened with my dad, well he's a doctor now and he is damn proud of it." She closed her eyes and felt the tears hit her lip. "Why did you answer the door?" she asked "Why did you run after them?" she opened her eyes again to see if this was just dream "Why was it you and not me?" she sobbed. She covered her mouth with her hand and tried hard to contain herself. "Please just open your eyes, so we can go home and be together forever. You said you were going to marry me when this was all over. Its all over Jack, and I am ready. I am ready to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you."
Ryan stood outside the curtain waiting for Kennedy to finish. He knew he had to get her out of there. He softly pulled back the curtain. "Kennedy…" he replied
Kennedy turned to him with tears streaming down her face. "No, please don't make me leave him." She begged
"You cant be here." He replied
"He's alone. He needs me. He needs to know that I am here with him."
"He knows sweetheart. He knows."
"Ryan, I cant lose him." She sobbed him "Help him." She begged
"I am." Ryan replied. He had so much remorse towards this girl. "Now we need to get you back to your room." He pulled the wheelchair into the curtained area. Kennedy turned back to Jack and let out a little sob before kissing him again.
"I will be right back ok. I'm not going anywhere." She whispered. She let go of his hand and sat back down. Ryan rolled her to the elevator and back down to her room. The boys were waiting patiently for them to come back. As Ryan opened the door Bobby shot up from his seat. He saw Kennedy's tears stained face, who was looking to the ground. She looked up at him and began crying again. Bobby rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"He looked so helpless and there was nothing I could do. I tried so hard to get him to wake up but he just laid there." She sobbed
"Shhh…" Bobby replied rubbing her back. "He's going to be alright."
"She shouldn't have gone up there." Jerry replied leaning back against the wall with Angel beside him. Angel just looked at him.
