Showstopper

Chapter Three (Jimmy)

2 days later

I see my body laying in a pool of blood as Jason stabs me one last time. My mouth is spitting blood out and I look at Jason. I don't know why he's doing this. I hear my name getting called. I look around and I don't see anyone.

"Jimmy wake up please" I hear this time. I look back at my body and I'm telling myself to wake up. Is this a dream? Someone taps my neck and I look back. "WAKE UP!" Jason yells.

I wake up sweating. I look around to see that I i'm inside a hospital. I look beside me and Nancy's sleeping on the chair next to me. I guess she hears me and she wakes up and stares at me. She jumps up and starts crying and hugs me.

"Ahhh" I hiss. She stops hugging. "Oh my god baby I thought I was gonna lose you." She sobs. I look down at my body and patches are over me.

I guess she sees that I'm staring and says something. "That asshole almost stabbed your lungs. Your lucky to be alive still." She says. I look at her as tears fall from her cheek. "How long have I been in here?" I ask. "2 days.., Tariq and Quest cancelled the show this week" She says.

My eyes light up. Would I ever be able to do the show anymore? I ask myself. "Don't worry honey... They said you will still be able to host the show but it's gonna have to be awhile... You have to heal..." Nancy whisperers to me. " Where is he?" I ask wanting to know if Jason is still out there. "He's in jail" she answers.

"Jail?... why ISN'T HE IN FUCKING PRISON?!" I ask raising my voice. Nancy looks at me with sadness "Don't yell at me....I didn't do anything." She says. I feel bad now.

"I'm sorry... I- I didn't mean to yell ok? I'm just so confused why he did this....I thought he was a normal fan but he took my phone... I know now that that was dumb of me to run after him just for a phone... But there was this look in his eyes that told me I shouldn't done that... It's like he knew what he was doing and it was his plan..."

I can feel tears start to form in my eyes. " Wait... did you say that he talked to you before he did this?" Nancy asked. "Yea... His name is Jason and I saw him at the show to... I..I think he followed me to the bar and was waiting till Quest and Tariq left...I walked out and was walking to my car when he approached me... He seemed as like he was nervous...I gave him my autograph but he just seemed like he was planning this... I was walking back when he swiped my phone out of my pocket...fucking piece of shit almost killed me..." I answer as I try to sit up.

"Jim...your gonna be ok... he's gonna be in jail for about 8 years so you don't gotta worry about him so lay back down" Nancy assures me. My heart almost drops when I realize something. "Nance... Do people know about this? Has anyone said anything?" I ask.

She looks at me and slowly nods. "Honey there was a crowd of people that was around you when you guys were fighting...there were so many videos that I actually saw you before the cops told me...I had to turn off the TV before the kids came in..." Nancy looks back down and I see her crying.

"Where are they?" I ask. Nancy looks back up at me. "At my mom's. They were here yesterday but they started crying a lot and I just couldn't take it" Nancy says. I'm about to say something but then a doctor comes in. "Mr Fallon, so glad you're awake. Are you feeling ok?" He asks. "Better then before...hey I just want to thank you guys for fixing me and you guys can come to my show,..well if I ever host it again." He laughs. "Mr Fallon you will definitely still be able to do the show still but you need to take some time off because this guy almost stabbed your lungs...I'm surprised your alive" He says.

"So am I but you guys saved my life so thank you again." I say. "No need to thank us, it's our job" the doctor says. "You guys just need to sign some papers and you guys can leave, Jimmy all you have to do is rest ok. Don't do anything active or rough around the house because the stitches need to heal, here's some pills if you start to hurt any more" the doctor says as he passes the pills to me.

We sign the papers and we're just waiting for them to let us know we can leave. " I can't wait to see the kids again, I miss them so much" I say as Im waiting. "They miss you too hon." Nancy says smiling. Suddenly the doctor comes in.

"Mr Fallon you and your wife can leave now, just don't do anything rough alright." He says. I nod and me and Nancy begins to walk to the door when my chest begins to hurt. I stop and put my hand on it and it's beating fast. "Ahh" I hiss. Nancy looks back at me. " Honey are you ok? What's wrong?" She asks me. "Yea... It's just my chest...It hurts' I say as my hand is feeling it. "Do you wanna sit down?" Nancy asks. I look up at her and shake my head wanting to just leave the hospital and see my kids. "Are you sure?" She ask again. "Yes baby I'm sure, it's nothing and I'll be okay, don't worry." I say as I begin to walk over to her and kiss her in the forehead. I get to the door when suddenly my chest hurts more. I feel my legs going out and I fall. My breathing slows down. " Nancy..." I whisper. My eyes began to close. "JIMMY!" Is all I hear before I pass out.
