Sharon was sobbing into Angela's arms in the hospital. She saw two doctors talking but couldn't understand what they were saying to one another.

"I should have taken Italian instead of French in school" she muttered, wiping her eyes. She was getting angry, Jordan, Angela, Ben , their manager and herself had been at the hospital for the past three hours. Why the fuck wouldn't they let her go and see him.

Jordan sat in the hospital chair, mindlessly pulling a polystyrene cup to pieces. He had been crying and his face was blotchy and eyes bloodshot.

Shane was like a brother to him, he couldn't imagine not having him bug the shit out of him on a daily basis.

"Why are they just standing there?" he asked Angela, anger in his voice.

"I don't know" sobbed Angela. She didn't know what to say or who to comfort.

Sharon was crying hard. "Why didn't the mother just run out and grab that damn kid?" She cried.

The manager was called over to where the doctors stood. He listened to what they had to say and bowed his head. Sharon was watching him and felt her heart beat faster, the lump growing bigger in her throat.

The manager slowly walked over to Ben and Jordan. "I'm sorry guy's..he's got internal bleeding..there's nothing they can do for him"

"NO!!" screamed Sharon. She got up from her chair and ran to Shane's room.

Shane was lying in the hospital bed, bloody and battered. His eyes were closed and he had IV drips in his arms and a heart monitor bleeped iratticaly beside him.

Sharon put her hand to her mouth to prevent a sob from escaping, she sat next to him and took his hand in hers.

"Don't you leave me now Jones" she begged, holding his hand tightly.

She heard Jordan gasp behind her and turned to see him sobbing. Angela placed her hand around Jordan's waist and held him from behind in a protective embrace.

Ben was also crying. "Why him?" was all he could say. He shook his head and looked in Jordan's direction. "I'm sorry man, I can't be here..I can't deal with this right now" and then he bolted out of the room.

"Shane can you hear me?" Asked Sharon, looking for any sign of movement in his features.

She wiped her eyes and carried on talking softly to him. "If you can hear me, I want you to know that I love you Shane, I love you so much and I should have told you this long ago. Don't leave me Shane...please"

Her shoulders started to shake and she broke down, Jordan walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

Angela bit her lower lip, she felt sick and every fibre in her being wanted to run away, rather than see the hurt of the three people she loved most.

Shane's heart monitor bleeped faster. Sharon and Jordan looked at each-other in horror.

Bleep, bleep , bleep, bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep..

Shane had passed away.

Sharon collapsed to the floor and Jordan started wailing. Angela just watched, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks.
