OK in this chapter there is a lot of cursing so just be careful. Ok on with the chapter
Chapter 5: One more chance
Koa wakes up to the sound of beeping as he opens his eyes and notices he is hooked up to machinery, as he looks around the room he could see nothing but when he looked to his side a small smile spreads across his face as he see's Jojo sleeping in a chair next to the bed.
*voice cracks a bit* "Hey Jojo….wake up man"
Jojo then stirs for a little bit mumbling something that makes Koa laugh a little but winces in pain as his side hurts from where the bullet pierced him
"Hey Jojo come on man wake up"
Jojo then wakes up from sleeping and is amazed to see that Koa was awake and talking.
"Koa!!! Man am I glad to see that your awake, dude you gave me such a scare. You been out for 4 days" Jojo then embraces Koa which makes Koa groan in pain.
"Shit dude I am sooo sorry, I forgot about the wound."
Koa then groans "ughh…4 days???Jojo shouldn't you be in school???"
Next thing to Koa's Amazement Marcus walks in with a bunch load of books and paperwork
"Fuck that Koa you're our friend and also its ok our parents told the school what happened so we'll be fine as for you though Koa…Thanks….For doing that for Jojo"
"Yeah Koa I agree with Marcus, you are truly one of a kind. I don't know any other person that would take a bullet for me let alone give me a guitar that is named after me."
Jojo then begins to do some work as Koa calls Jojo, Jojo then looks up and his jaw drops because as he looked up Koa flipped him off and then let out a soft chuckle.
"you lolo" Jojo says as he resumes his work, Marcus on the other hand has a confused look on his face as he thinks to himself, "lolo???what does that mean?" Koa then begins to shake violently.
"Shit Jojo!!! He's having a seizure!!! Ok Jojo you go call for help and I will contain him," with a concerned and frightened look on his face Jojo rushes out of the room calling for help as Marcus tries to hold Koa down
"Damn this little whowaiian isn't one to be taken lightly, even I'm struggling to keep him down"
Jojo then begins running around and see's a few doctors and nurses.
"you gotta help me, my friend.. he's having a seizure"
"Sorry kid but we are on our break so it's not our job"
"you got to be fucking kidding me" Jojo then runs around some more trying to find someone to help him when after about half an hour later Jojo returns to the room to see Marcus holding Koa's hand bawling his eyes out.
"Marcus I got….."
Marcus turns to face Jojo his eyes are red and puffy
"Jojo I….I tried….I really did but he's gone"
Jojo then looks at the screen as its flat with a long beeping noise
"n…n…no he can't be, he just can't not after all the bullshit he has been through, his dad being a complete ass, his friend dying of cancer, all these bullies that picked on him, and now this" Jojo then rushes to the other side and grabs Koa's other hand tears just falling from his eyes.
"Koa…please if you can hear me wake up, don't give up, remember the promise you made me when we first met, the promise that we would never give up when times got tough, not as long as we remained friends." Jojo then holds Koa's hand a bit tighter "Well I'm not giving up…so you shouldn't give up either Koa….please….please wake up" Jojo then lays his head on Koa's chest crying his eyes out repeating the same words "please wake up."
What seemed like hours when they were about to leave a very faint beep was heard as Jojo then ran back grabbing hold of Koa's hand again
"that's it Koa come on wake up, your too stubborn to quite, your too lolo" another beep was heard but a bit louder Marcus then did the same thing
"Hey Koa remember all the laughs we shared, especially when we scared away the school bullies, remember the time when we all went to Baskin who for ice cream."
Another beep followed by another beep that grew louder and louder with each memory
"Hey Koa remember when Marcus ran into the window thinking the screen was open."
Koa then slowly begins to open his eyes as he looks to see his friends holding his hands.
"my…my friends" Koa manages to say weakly
"No fuck that Koa, we aren't your friends," Jojo then looks up at Marcus with disbelief and Koa frowns,
"You're not my friends? Then why are you here???"
"because friends wouldn't do this…but a family would"
All of a sudden the doctors and nurses came into the room
"looks like we saved another one…good job you guys" Jojo then let's go of Koa's and gives the doctor a deathly glare and begins to walk towards them, just then Marcus stops Jojo.
"No Jojo you had your fun now let me," Marcus then begins yelling and cursing at the doctors, making them feel like trash for not caring about one of their patients, Jojo looks goes back to the bed and looks at Koa.
"You're going to be fine Koa"
"But I still don't have a place to stay"
"That's where you're wrong, my parents agreed to let you live at our house, I got a bunk bed in my room now so you have somewhere to sleep"
A single tear falls from Koa's eye as he manages to talk with a much stronger voice
"Thank you…so much Jojo for everything"
"You are very welcome…bro," those words just made Koa a lot stronger as he sat up in the bed ignoring the pain in his side and gave Jojo a hug
"I love you bro"
"I love you to Koa…as a brother"
Marcus then sees this and begins to walk back to the bed
"Hey what about me? Don't I get a hug and be called a brother to?"
"yeah yeah come over here you big baby and lets all have a group hug"
Then the three friends hugged each other for a brief moment before leaving Koa to get some rest.
That is the end of chapter 5. Hope you guys like it
