Chapter 2; Jessica, Ember and Sara rehearse for their upcoming concert. Jessica sings her part to What Makes You beautiful, as they all dance around the stage. Jessica looks over at Ember, tasting blood in her mouth. She sings trying to ignore the fact that she's a vampire.
Michael, their manager walks on stage. "That was very good girls. Let's go home and get some rest." he says. Jessica runs off stage and into the bathroom.
"Shit" Jessica says shaking her head. Ember looks over at Sara.
"What's wrong with Jessica?" She asks.
"I have no idea what's wrong with my sister." Sara rplies.
Ember walks to the bathroom and knocks on the door. "Jessica, are you okay in there?" she asks cautiously.
"Yeah. Just washing my face.." Jessica replies.
Jessica walks out of the bathroom and feels her phone vibrate. "What the…" she says looking at the screen, reading 1 voicemail message. "I have a voicemail…."
"Who's it from?" Sara asks. Jessica shrugs as she presses the button to listen to the message.
"JESSICA IT'S SHANNON…. PICK UP… IT'S AN EMERGENCY! CALL ME ASAP!" Shannon cries.
"It was Shannon." Jessica replies to Sara.
"Is everything okay?" Sara asks. Jessica shrugs as she calls Shannon's phone.
Shannon picks up. "Jessica?" he says, his tone unsteady.
"Shannon, what's wrong? You sound upset… is everything okay?"
"It's Jeff…" he cries.
"What's wrong with him?" Jessica asks trying to remain calm.
Shannon gets quiet.
"SHANNON?" Jessica calls out.
"We were out riding dirt bikes and he crashed. We're at the hospital now and they haven't told me anything." Shannon sobs.
"Oh god Shannon, we'll be there as soon as we can." Jessica replies trying to calm him. "Hurry…" he whimpers.
"We will Shan… see you soon." Jessica answers.
Ember and Sara look at her. "We've gotta get to the hospital." She says.
"Why?" They ask as she hangs up the phone.
"Jeff's been in an accident. He's in the hospital." Jessica responds as they walk to the car.
"Oh god, lets go." Sara says as she runs ahead of us, getting in the car. The girls walk into the hospital and find Shannon pacing in the waiting room. Jessica walks up to Shannon and taps his shoulder. "Shannon, we're here.. Calm down.." she says softly. Shannon turns and looks at her, a slight look of relief in his eyes. "Jessica." he says smiling a little.
Ember and Sara appear next to Jessica. "Have they told you anything? How long has he been back there?" Ember asks.
"No, it's been an hour." He responds beginning to worry again. "have they told you anything" said Ember"no its been an hour" said Shannon.
"Well, he couldn't have died." Sara says trying to sound positive. Jessica nods in agreement. "If he had died, they would have come out to inform the family." Jessica adds. "That's true." Ember says.
The doctor enters the waiting room. "Friends of Jeff Hardy." He says. They turn and look at him. "Yes." Jessica says.
The doctor sighs. "He's alive.. But he's in critical condition.. He has a broken neck. It is broken in two places. And his brain is showing some swelling…" he says.
"Can we see him?" Shannon interrupts. "Yes. But…" he begins. Shannon doesn't listen to what the doctor has said and walks straight into Jeff's room. "Oh my god.." Shannon whispers as he sees Jeff lying in the hospital bed hooked to all sorts of monitors.
He sinks to the ground and starts crying. Jessica looks at Ember and Sara. "You guys take him out here. I'd like some time alone with Jeff…" she says softly.
They nod and help Shannon to the hallway.
The doctor stands by the door and talks to Jessica for a few moments. "Jeff's neck is broken in two places and the swelling in his brain has left him in a coma. With the rate of the swelling and the location of the swelling, we weren't able to do much. The swelling being so close to the region that controls his vital functions, we're not sure if he'll survive." he says softly. Jessica nods silently and wipes her eyes.
The doctor leaves and Jessica walks into Jeff's room closing the door. The smell and taste of blood lingering around her. She goes to the door and opens it a crack. "Sara.." She whispers.
"What?" Sara asks trying to keep her voice low enough for Shannon not to hear. "Come here." Jessica says.
Sara walks over and Jessica leans in close to her, whispering into her ear. "I think we need to change him… the dr just told me that he's probably going to die…"
Sara's eyes get big. "Seriously?" she asks.
"Yes.." Jessica whispers. Ember looks over at the girls talking and holds Shannon close rubbing his back.
"I need you to watch for the doctors…" Jessica whispers.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for them to come back." Sara whispers. Jessica nods and closes the door, walking over to Jeff's bedside. "Here we go.." she says softly as she leans down, biting Jeff on the neck. The taste of his blood curing the itch in her throat.
She finishes, wiping her mouth.
Sara stands by the door and hears the commotion inside. Shannon looks up at them. "Is that what I think it is?" he asks. Sara looks at him. "That depends… what do you think it is?" she asks, playing dumb.
A nurse gets up from the nurse's station and walks towards Jeff's room.
