Jack's POV
It was the day after we had gotten trapped in the Shadowzone. Shayla hadn't been there but I plan on telling her about it. Raf came in with Bee and quickly jumped out.
"Shayla's in the hospital!" he exclaimed as soon as he was out of Bee. My heart skipped a beat and I felt like I was going to puke.
"What happened?" Miko asked as she jumped from the couch and ran over to the rail next to me.
"She had run out into the street for some reason and didn't see the car coming and…" he trailed off as he caught his breath. Did he run here or did he not breathe during that sentence?
"Calm down; what did the doctors say?" I asked; my voice was surprisingly calm.
"I don't know but I was there when the paramedics took her away!" I turned to Arcee who didn't show much emotion. She never really did; it's one her many qualities that I respect.
"Arcee can you take me to the hospital to visit her?" I asked.
"Why not?" she said and transformed. I ran down the stairs and grabbed my helmet.
"We'll visit later!" Miko called as we drove off.
"So how long have you known Shayla?" Arcee asked out of the blue.
"Huh? Oh uh I guess we met back in the 7th grade. We had the same math class." I responded.
"Hmm…"
"What?"
"Nothing; we're here. I'm going to head back to the base. Call when ready to leave." I hopped off of her and she activated her holoform and drove away. I walked quickly to the entrance and asked the lady at the desk where she was. She told me where and I went to the elevator and clicked the button for the 5th floor. I found the room and the door was closed. I knocked on it and Shayla's mom answered.
"Oh hola Jack!" she tried to sound happy but I could hear the pain in her voice. I went inside and saw Shayla hooked up to a machine. The sight of her stopped me cold in my tracks. She looked so weak and her breaths were shallow.
"How is she?" I asked as I sat on the chair next to Shayla. She looked as if she was asleep.
"She's...in a coma." She said. A coma; the car hit her that hard?
"Si, the doctors say it's really not looking good for her." I bit my lip. "I need to go downstairs. Is that all right?" I just nodded. She left the room and I stood up. I looked around until I found what I was looking for: Shayla's cell phone. I looked through the contacts until I found Knockout's name. I quickly put the number into my own phone and put her phone back. Knockout should know that Shayla's in the hospital…right? I left the room and called him.
"Who is this and why are you intruding in on the decepticon airway?" I heard Knockout growl.
"Knockout it's Jack; Shayla's friend." I said. Crap, why did I say my name?
"What do you want?"
"Shayla's in the hospital." The other end of the line was silent.
"What happened?"
"She got hit by a car. She's in a coma."
"In a what?" he sounded confused.
"It's like sleep but it's an unwilling one and sometimes…you don't wake up from it." I explained.
"Why did you call me?"
"Because I figured since you two are friends that you'd like to know!"
"Don't yell at me." He growled. Great now he's showing his decepticon side.
"Fine see ya 'con." I hung up on him and shoved my phone into my pocket. That's when I realized that Shayla's mom had gone back inside. A doctor rushed passed me and went inside her room. I ran in but a nurse stopped me. "Is she okay? Is she awake?" I asked.
"She's awake but-" she started.
"But what?" I'm getting too excited I can tell.
"She doesn't remember anything. Not her name, not the accident, not even her own mother."
"May I see her at least?" I asked. She moved out of my way and I went up to Shayla. She had a blank look in her eyes. "Shayla?"
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Jack, we go to school together. Remember?" she shook her head.
"Jack I think you should go home now." He mom said. I took a step back then ran out of the room. I ran out of the hospital but didn't stop. I finally made it to the base. By then I had lost my breath and was sweating.
"Woah what happened to you?" Miko asked. I shot her a glare.
"I ran here." I said.
"From the hospital?" Arcee asked. I nodded. "Jack, you've gone crazy."
"I had an adrenaline rush okay? But Shayla woke up!" I announced.
"Awesome! She'll be back and hanging with us again in no time." Miko said. I frowned and Arcee noticed.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"She doesn't remember anything or anyone." I said. Everyone fell silent. Ratchet and Optimus were somewhere else at the moment and I know I'm going to have to tell them too.
