Chapter 3: I'm Sorry
Lance is still lying in the bed with all these various chords attached to his body. Mana walks in as he softly taps a sleeping Jojo on the shoulder. Jojo begins to turn as he slowly opens his eyes and lets out a yawn, before looking up at Mana.
"Hey Jojo you been here for 18 hours go shower and get a little breakfast. I will stay here until you get back" Mana says helping Jojo to his feet. Jojo stumbles around for a bit before grasping onto Mana's shirt regaining his balance in the process.
"You're right Mana I do got to eat something, also I am starting to smell kinda funky" Jojo says laughing a bit.
"Haha kinda would be an improvement Jo" Mana says returning a chuckle.
Jojo walks out of the room and into the Lobby where he is greeted by Cyrus and Justin. They all exchange greetings and walk down towards the cafeteria to get some breakfast. Walking up to the counter they begin to pile some sandwiches, chips, and a bottle of juice onto their trays before walking towards the cashier.
"Hi will this be all for you"
"Yes Ma'am" Jojo replies.
"Ok that will be 4.50 please" the Lady replies in a kind tone.
"Don't worry, I got it Jo" Justin says pulling out his wallet and paying for his n Jojo's breakfast while Cyrus is at the other register paying for his. They sit down at a nearby table and begin to eat, well everyone except Jojo who is just sitting their staring at his food.
"Come on J man, you gotta eat something, don't worry Lance will be fine" Justin says trying to reassure Jojo.
"I know but what if he we can't find a heart in time, and if we do what about the bill we don't have that kind of money, I mean after me and Mana broke up and we all went our separate ways things seemed different."
"Yeah we all grew up and started our own but we will always be the pack that had wild adventures, as well as awesome memories and crazy run-ins with people" Cyrus said
"Yeah and remember instead of going back with my family I chose to stay here with you guys, you guys are still my family even though we all moved on" Justin replies
"And not a moment too soon, I don't know how many more people we could have fit into those 2 houses" Cyrus remarks chuckling a bit
"Yeah your right" Jojo answers picking up his sandwich and taking a bite.
God, if you are there, I will embrace all pain and endure every suffering, in return you let this great person live-Jojo.
After eating breakfast Jojo looks down at his watch and noticed that it was almost 11, just then over the loud speaker they heard a voice call for Jojo and told him to report back to where Lance was at. Thinking something bad happened Jojo, Justin, and Cyrus all ran towards the room as they avoided running into people and knocking them over.
"What…is it doc?" Jojo asked.
"So far we still haven't found a heart yet or anyone with the same blood type as he does, so there might be no hope." The doctor says before turning back into the room and walking in, hearing that Jojo just drops to his knees and breaks down in tears.
"No…this can't be, why won't my prayers be heard" Jojo pleads with his friends.
"Don't worry Jo, God has his ways of proving he hears, we just need to not lose faith." Cyrus answers back.
Off somewhere 10 minutes from the hospital Honu is talking with some of his homies.
"Yo Honu man you been acting weird for the past few days what up man?"
"Dude we been homies for a while right, between me and you man I don't feel like I want to be in a gang anymore, it's just not for me"
"Between me and you Honu, I knew that was the reason that's why I gave you the money yesterday, that was the money I got for selling my goods and I suppose to give the money to Stark but screw it I ain't afraid of him"
Just then a car pulls up with four people coming out holding guns. And slowly walking to Honu and his friend.
"Dammit, Honu run!"
"What about you Steve, man I can't go without you"
"Honu you the only person I see as my family that I have left, I won't let you get hurt"
"Come on man we can out run them, let's go bro we can start new and fresh together man" Honu pleads."
"I buried myself a grave already by joining, then I made it deeper by dragging you into it, now all that's left is to get buried" Steve says.
Honu knowing that there is no changing his mind embraces his friend and begins to dart off through the trees hopping over trash cans and benches.
Our father of Shangri-La Hollowed be thy name, Look at me and stare from above, I ask for forgiveness change the crows to doves -Steve
Honu keeps running as he hears gunshots echo in his ears but stops when he hears Steve scream and turns around to face his friend who is on his knees holding his arm.
"So Steve, where is my money"
"I lost it, along with the respect I had for you" Steve says with a smirk.
"Seems you're as cocky as ever"
"Seems your annoying as well, now that we got the introduction done let's get on with business"
"You know I can easily blow your brains right out of your skull right" the who says holding the barrel of his gun to Steve's head. But with a flash of movement Steve has a blade to the dude's heart.
"If I take a trip to hell, how rude of it would be of me not to take a guest"
And with a swift movement of his wrist he impales his knife into the who before being shot 9 times by the other whose.
"STEVE!" Honu screams as the other whos hear him and begin to chase him, but one of them wasn't as lucky as he feels a sharp pain in his back as he looks down n sees a red stain on his shirt.
"Where do you think you're going, don't you know it takes 3 to tango with the devil" Steve says before falling backwards letting out a final breath. Honu on the other hand ends up outrunning the who by doing some of his park core moves and landing in front of the hospital.
Honu begins to stumble from room to room and ends up falling into Lance's room. Seeing this Causes Jojo to stand up and get into a defensive position.
"Who are you?"
"Does it matter? What matters is that I need a doctor, can you go get me one?" Honu says acting like he's fine.
"Yea.. uh sure" Jojo says as he leaves the room running down the hall, Honu walks over to the bed and looks down and stares in shock.
"I knew that bastard was lying, I knew I had a younger brother…..shit I can't believe I didn't know this" Honu whispers.
Jojo comes back into the room with the doctor as Honu and the doctor begins to explain the situation with Lance.
"And if Lance cannot get a new heart within 2 hours, he will die."
"He can have my heart?" Honu says
"But you are a healthy young fellow though how would this work at all?" the doctor asks confused, in which Honu lifts up his shirt showing the bullet hole that barely missed his heart.
"I have less time than he does, now take my heart and give it to him" Honu says.
The doctor begins to debate about this but decides to go with it anyway, as the doctor tells Honu to get on the extra bed right next to Lance as him and Jojo went to go get the other doctors and supplies.
"Brother, I know that you felt like you never had a family, and that you were not loved, but if I knew you were alive, I would have found a place to keep you safe, but with my heart a part of me will always live inside of you…I am sorry brother"
After the surgery, the doctors and Jojo wait to see how it was, an hour later Lance opens up his eyes and tries to sit up, but Jojo just holds him down to the bed gently.
"No son, you cannot move quite yet, please lay still"
The doctor comes in and tells Jojo that the bill is going to be a lot of money, hearing this causes Jojo to stress out even more, Jojo begins to grow worried again but sees a bulge in the pocket of Honu's pocket and pulls out the roll of money and looks at it and notices that it had a note attached to it.
"If I find that I do have a brother all of this will go to him" Jojo says as he searches Honu's body for a wallet in which he does in the other pocket and opens it up.
"Jace Kawika Honu" Jojo says as he pulls out Lance's adoption papers.
"Lance Ke'ehukai Honu"
Jojo's eyes widen with hope as he looks at Jace and whispers thank you before rushing to the front office.
"Hi I'm Jojo Lance's dad and I was wondering if this would cover the bill?" Jojo asks handing her the money in which she counts it and shakes her head.
"I'm sorry sir but you're still short $1,000"
Jojo just lowers his head when the door to the hospital opens up and 4 Whos walk in, one of them was wearing a short skirt with blank and pink long socks, and a Jack Skellington shirt, another was wearing blue faded jeans and a jersey, the third one was wearing black dickie pants and a clown shirt, the fourth had blue shorts on and a pink top.
"Here" says the one with the clown shirt tossing onto the counter 10 $100 dollar crisp bills.
"Thank you soo much, but I don't know how will I pay you back" Jojo says
"Don't mention it, you owe us nothing" the female who says.
"Si" says another.
"At least let me get your names" Jojo pleads.
"Hi my name is Mari"
"Hey my name is Terell"
"Hola me amo es Pamela"
"Howzit my name is DJ"
As the 4 whos begin to walk back out the door and jump into the car and drive off. Jojo just runs out and has tears slowly flowing from his eyes.
"Wow that was weird, they gave you a thousand dollars and you don't even need to pay them back"
"It's not weird at all, it just proves that there are still good people in the world, and also that God runs on his own time not the time of others," Jojo answers as he closes his eyes and prays.
