With Melinda

Melinda slowly walked around the antique shop while hugging herself. "I'm sorry," she said. "I just can't shake off this feeling," she pulled out her cellphone and called Jim. "Hello, Jim... I was wondering if you could tell me about any recent accidents... like from last night, I really need to know... I just can't shake off the feeling that someone I know was killed last night," she spoke into the speaker of her cellphone.

"There was a huge accident down here this morning, a lot of people were hurt but none dead, not that I know of," Jim replied from his cellphone. "But I did hear that Jonesy Garcia was shot this morning and rushed to the hospital..." he said in a soft voice. He knew Melinda used to baby sit Jonesy.

"Oh my goodess..." Melinda almost dropped her cell phone. She knew Jonesy for a long time. She even kept contact with him and his friends now. "Jim, it can't be him... I mean I know his dad so well... Jonesy's mother walked out on the family when Robbie was only a year old... if Jonesy's dead I don't know how Mr. Garcia is going to take it..." she looked out the window. "Listen Jim, I'm going to have to call you back.." she said clicking her cell phone shut. "Listen Andrea, I'll be back..." she said walking towards the door, but she stopped.

There stood Jonesy Garcia... his ghost. He looked down Melinda's shirt, which was very low, and he grinned. "Hubba hubba," he said in a very flirtaous voice.

"Jonesy Garcia!" Melinda covered her chest with her arms. "You're too late..." she said looking at the spirit. "For one...I'm married," she showed Jonesy the ring. "And two.. you're... you're dead..." Melinda stopped. She didn't find any humor in what she had just said. She looked at him. "Oh Jonesy..."

"That's why nobody could see me!" Jonesy said looking at Melinda. "I'm a ghost?" he cocked up an eyebrow.

"Yes," Melinda answered.

"THIS IS AWESOME!!!" Jonesy laughed. "That means I can fly and go through walls, spy on chicks... wow, man, this is the life!" he grinned.

"Jonesy!" Melinda placed her hands on her hips. " I thought you were dating Nikki, just because you're dead and a ghost now gives you no right to be unfaithful to her," she said.

"She was unfaithful first!" Jonesy looked at Melinda. His chocolate brown eyes started to built up with tears. "I saw her... with Wyatt, they were hugging tightly and he was kissing he ron the head..." Jonesy looked down at his feet. "She betrayed me, she broke my heart!" she clitched his fists. "I can't believe Nikki would do that to me,"

Melinda just looked at the heart-broken ghost. She didn't know what to say to him. "Jonesy..." she frowned. "I'm sure it was nothing, I'm sure she was just hurting... you were killed at a party tonight," Melinda said.

"Yeah well, at that point I didn't know I was dead and either did she..." Jonesy glared.

"Well... you were shot right? If you guys are together obviously she must of been upset about that," Melinda tried to help to calm Jonesy down.

"No! I know what I saw!" Jonesy snapped and with that he disappeared.

"What was that?" Andrea walked up to Melinda.

"I know who the ghost is..." Melinda turned around and looked Andrea in the eyes. Melinda's dark eyes were filled with tears. "And I used to babysit him..."

"What?" Andrea asked in a concerned voice. "Who is it?"

"Jonesy Garcia," Melinda took a deep breath. " I wonder if his father and step-mother knows," she said. "I doubt his mother knows or would even care, she walked out on the family when Jonesy was just a little boy," she said.

With Jen, On The Phone With Her Mom

"Jen-honey, what's wrong?" Jen's mother asked. She could tell Jen was really upset. She knew something horrible was wrong. Jen was the type of girl that wouldn't call her mother even if she cut herself or something growoing up, she had called the time that her father had said things to her, abused her and serious things like that. She knew there was something wrong the moment she heard her daughters voice. "Jen?"

Jen was choaked up and sobbing too much now. She couldn't talk very plain at all, which made it very hard for her mother to understand a word that escape from Jen's lips and into the phone. "Mom...mom," She repeated. Jen tried to calm herself down by taking a couple of deep breathes. "You have to get home and down to Mercy hospital... you and definately Mr. Garcia, something horrible has happened," Jen said.

"What? Honey... what's wrong? Something horrible has happened to who?" Jen's mother started to panic. It was now easy to see where Jen got it from. "Jen? Jen?" he mother repeated her name. There was a pause. "Jen, answer me!" she yelled. Not in a mad yell, just a worried yell.

"Mom! JONESY WAS KILLED!!! He got shot at a party last night and he was killed!!!" Jen blurted out and started to break down completely. "Mom... Jonesy's dead," Jen's eyes were so full of tears her vision started to get blurry. She couldn't see the people who were going in and out of Mercy Hospital starring at her.

"Jen... what?!?!" Jen's mother was lost for words as she just dropped the telephone and stood there.

That's when Mr. Garcia knew something was wrong and he picked the phone up off the soft carpet that covered the room floor and he held it to the side of his head. "Jennifer? What's wrong?" He asked.

"Oh, Mr. Garcia!" Jen started to shake. "I... I don't know what to say, I don't know how to tell you..." Jen stopped talking for a moment. "I really... I..." Jen sobbed. "Jonesy, it's about Jonesy..." she said.

"What happened to my boy? Is he going to be okay?" Mr. Garcia and Joensy were extremely close. Growing when when Jonesy's mom walked out on him he really looked up to his dad for handing the hard duty of raising three boys as a single dad, that is until he met Jen's mother and it was love at first sight. They were perfect for each other and Jonesy was so happy. Mr. Garcia had always thought a lot over his son, always went to every single one of his games, he always supported Jonesy with Nikki, and he had grown to love his step-daughters; Jen and Courtney. Jen didn't know how to tell her step-father about Jonesy. She had a hard enough stuggle telling her mother the dad news and Jonesy wasn't even her mother's biological son, but he was Mr. Garcia's biological son and she knew it would break his heart to know.

"Mr. Garcia, Jonesy's..." Jen paused for a moment to carefully think of her choice of words. How the hell was she going to say this? And would she be able to say it right? She knew that either way she was going to break her step-father's heart but someone had to tell him. "Jonesy... he had a party at the house last night, and well someone came, someone who shouldn't have been there... and he well... he shot Jonesy!" Jen broke down. "And... Jonesy was rushed to the hospital and by the time I got here... I was told that he wasn't..." Jen stopped again, she needed to take a deep breath. "He didn't make it," she said.

"WHAT?" Mr. Garcia fell back into a nearby chair. A few tears ran down his cheeks as they slowly escaped from his widened eyes. "My first son... dead?" Mr. Garcia's light crying turned into sobbing.

"I'm so sorry I... I just didn't know what to tell you or how... I mean," Jen rambled she didn't know what to say. The next thing she heard was her mothers voice. She had grabbed the phone from her husbands hand so she could talk to her daughter.

"Listen Jen, we're going to be there as soon as possible... but thanks for calling honey, I know it wasn't very easy for you to do," She said. "And how's Nikki? That poor girl must be..." she started to ask.

"Mom, I don't know, I haven't seen Nikki yet..." Jen said. "Just get here, I have to be there for Nikki..." Jen shut her cellphone and ran back into the hospital. She didn't even borther to stop and see if the boys were in the lobby or not, Jen just wanted to see Nikki. Nikki definately needed support right now.

With Jude and Wyatt, in the Lobby

"Dude... I can't believe he's... gone..." Jude was shocked and sad. He wasn't crying really, a few tears were escaping from his bright blue eyes but he was more less in shock. His slow mind haven't quite come to terms with Jonesy's death yet, the thing is, when Jude finally realizes it, there's no telling what his reaction was going to be. Would he break down into a depression state or would he go crazy?

Wyatt placed a hand on Jude's shoulder. "Yeah dude, I miss him too, but we're all going to get through it, we've all got each other and nothing is going to change that. Jonesy wouldn't want us to all split apart or anything," he looked at Jude. "Come on, let's go upstairs and see Nikki..." he suggested.

"Okay..." Jude said slowly getting up and following Wyatt to an elavator that would take the two of them upstairs to Nikki's room.

When they entered the hallway they found Doctor Hart at a main desk and Wyatt walked up to him. "Yeah, Doctor Hart, where's the girl that I brought up here to see Jonesy Garcia?" he asked.

"She's in room 201, she's in a state of shock," Doctor Hart looked at Wyatt. "She does already have one friend there but the more the better, she's going to need your guys comfort and support when she wakes up..." he said, combing his soft blonde hair with his slender fingers. "I'll be in to check on her after I look at my other patients," he said slowly walking away from Wyatt.

Wyatt turned around. "Come on Jude," he said. "We have to get to room 201 to be there for Nikki..." he said.

"Right," Jude nodded as the two of them slowly started to walk down to the room. As they walked past every room things just started to feel weird to the two of them. It felt as if they were stuck in some aweful dream that neither one of them could escape. Jonesy was dead. He was actually dead. No more Jonesy. Harsh but true and they had to face reality, they couldn't even think "maybe he's not", it would only bring false hope to them. They had lost their best friend and even though he annoyed the heck out of them on times... they just couldn't take it in that he was gone, they missed him.

With Caitlin and Nikki

Caitlin looked at Nikki who was still sleeping. Nothing had changed. "Oh Nikki..." Caitlin tried talking to her again. "Please, please wake up," she said. "I just don't want anything to happen to you, too..." tears continued to fall from Caitlin's green eyes. They rolled down her soft cheeks and dripped off her face and unto Nikki's. A few moments passed and Caitlin heard a small mumble.

"Cait?" It was Nikki. She was finally waking up and slowly coming to terms with her surroundings. "Is that you?" she asked opening her eyes and looking up at her blonde friend.

"Yes, yes!" Caitlin hugged Nikki. "Oh Nikki, are you alright?" she asked right away. Bad move for Caitlin there, Nikki had full memory of the events that have been going one the past twelve hours.

Nikki sat up and got up out of her bed and slid eon her shoes that were placed on the yellow tiled floor and she grabbed her jacket that was on a nearby hanger. " No," Nikki snapped harshly as she left the room.

"Nikki... wait!" Caitlin attempted to follow her.

Nikki turned around quick and glared at Caitlin. "Don't you dare attempt to follow me, I just want to be alone right now!" She ran out of the room and bumped into Wyatt and Jude.

"Nikki..." Wyatt grabbed her shoulders. "Nikki... stop this, you need us..." Wyatt knew Nikki was about to leave and go off by herself, not only had he heard her conversation with Caitlin but he knew really well, when Jonesy had gotten in an accident last year and he almost died, Nikki did not want anyone around her at all.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!" Nikki pushed Wyatt away from her and he banged into Jude and they both fell down to the floor and she walked away. She went straight to the elevator and pressed on the button to go downstrairs. When the elevator opened, Jen walked out.

"Nikki?" Jen stopped looking at her best friend. She could tell Nikki was really upset. "Nikki where are you going?" she asked.

Nikki glared at Jen. "Jen, for once, mind your own business... okay?" she snapped coldly as she went into the elevator and quickly and repeatly clicked the "close door" button so it would shut faster so that way Jen wouldn't be able to get into the elevator and annoy her and talk to her and put her nose into something she didn't want to talk about right now. As the elevator moved down to the main floor. Nikki looked at the diamond ring Jonesy had given her. "Jonesy's... dead and it's all because of me," tears started falling from her brown eyes all over again. "I am going to make Stone pay for this... he's the one who dumped me anyway, then he wants me back when I gets back with Jonesy, if I had nothing to do with Stone in the first place... none of this wouldn't even of happened... it's all my fault," Nikki kept telling herself. When the elevator door opened she walked out and down the hallway to the lobby and walke dout the main exit. She walked down the street all by herself. She hugged her body with her arms. She saw a vechile coming slowly towards her. It stopped and she looked in to see who it was.

"Nikki Wong? Is that you?" A dark haired woman asked.

"Yes but I am not in the mood for talking to anyone right now," Nikki said. She sounded a little cold and rude but she couldn't care less right now.

"I'm sorry but it's me... Melinda Gordon, I don't know if you remember me... but I need to talk to you..." Melinda's dark eyes gave Nikki a soft look, she knew Jonesy and Nikki had been an item for some time now and she knew Nikki must of found out about Jonesy's death and she obviously must of been taking it hard.

"Did you not hear me?" Nikki snapped. "I said I wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone!" she said.

"Yes, I know that but it's about Jonesy..." Melinda said. "He's here," she said. She didn't know any other way to get Nikki's attention so she just said it, like that.

"What?" Nikki's eyes widened looking at Melinda.

Dun...dun..dun. Cliffhanger. Yeah... not like anyone's reading this. Oh well, I like writing it. So I am continuing with it. It's up to me. Anyway, I know there's someone reading this, I know he's enjoying it and if I have to continue with this story for that one reader then I will:) Anyway, until next time. God Bless. xoxo.
