Chapter 2: Time is running out
It has been an hour since Lance was hospitalized and Jojo along with some other friends were beginning to get worried wondering if they would ever find a heart in time to save Jojo's first son? A lot of the others took off work for a few days so that they can comfort their grieving friend.
"Jojo don't worry nothing bad has ever happened" Mana replied laying a hand on Jojo's shoulder.
"But Mana, Lance is my first son and this worries me, like remember when we used to date, and you would always act weird whenever you were having problems it would worry me because I really never knew what was going on in your head" Jojo replies resting his hand on Mana's.
Lehua, Pam, Vienna, Luna, and even Heidi were pacing back and forth in the main hall while Cyrus, Hawk, Travis, and even Jonah were gathered in a circle and their heads bowed. As Travis started.
"Dear God, we lift our new friend Lance to you in your son's precious and holy name, we know that your word says ask and you shall receive my blessings and healing, well we know you see and know all so we really don't have to get into detail but we ask you to please bring us a heart that can save Jojo's first son Lord in your son's holy name"
And his brothers reply Amen in unison before letting out a sigh as they all look around at each other.
"Now we just have to leave it up to God guys" Cyrus says as they all simply nod in agreement and head back into the waiting room where the girls are all waiting eagerly to know the news on Lance.
"How is he?" Michelle asked eager to hear that he is ok and they found him a replacement heart.
"They don't know, Michelle, he has a really rare blood that doctor's really never seen before" Marcus says as Mike and Cody walk into the room.
"But he will be alright won't he?" Shamus asks standing up from his chair,
"He as AO Positive, that blood type has never even been heard of before" Aaron says.
While everyone is in the waiting room Jojo, Koa and Mana are standing around by Lance's bed.
Mana thinking that Jojo wants to be alone with his son just leaves a dvd player and a disc on the table.
"Here J bro, I thought that this would help out the situation" Mana says as he taps Koa on the arm and they leave the room. Jojo opens the DVD player and pops in the DVD before turning it on and pressing the play button. Within a few seconds the screen slowly fades as a picture of Lance and Jojo standing together in Arizona's store with Arizona off to the side arms crossed and a crooked grin on his face when a song begins.
Shamus: There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
Justin:[Chorus:]
Justin: And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Andrew: It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
Justin, Shamus, Andrew [Chorus]
Luna: Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
Justin, Andrew, Shamus, Luna, Michelle [Chorus]
And throughout the whole song pictures of Jojo and Lance would pop up and fade away so that another one would take its place, watching this video just brought Jojo to tears as he looks on the bed at his son and begins to plead for him to wake up and that this wasn't really happening, he prayed that it was all just a dream.
Off somewhere not far was a group of teens that seemed to be in a gang, they had their bandanas on their heads, their pants sagging and drinking a few drinks.
"Eh Honu, you want a beer bro?"
"Naw man I don't drink, haha it aint my style you know that" Honu says a smile on his face as he takes a sip of his soda.
"Eh Honu, you know what? I always wondered this, do you have any siblings?"
"Naw man my dad says that I was an only child, but for some reason I don't think he was telling the truth before leaving me and my mom to fend for ourselves"
The who then walks up to Honu shaking his hand and placing in it a big roll of money.
"Damn homie you know we always got you right"
"Yeah I know man, and thanks" Honu says before looking around and placing the money in his pocket. As Honu and his friends continue drinking their drinks Honu cannot help but feel that something in his life was missing? Was it his dad? Was it his mom? Or is there something deeper than what the world can see.
