"Sing a song" - Jack Avery ff

Chapter 13

Tatums POV

"He is bleeding, what am I gonna do. Should I call his mom, he can't speak he isn't conscious, what is happening"

  6 hours earlier

   ... the guy next to me stands up with a knife while another guy comes in.... he had a gun! The guard walked over in attempt to stop these two men. As he was walking over the man with the gun grabbed me by the hair and pulled me in front of him to stop the guard. He had the gun to my head and the guard stopped in his tracks. Jack was not hesitant at all he jumped up and tried to grab me. The second man with the knife slashed jacks arm. Jack still tried to fight it. The man grabbed him by the throat and choked him. After a little bit of me crying and jack getting choked, the police arrived and took down the shooters. Jack was rushed to the hospital and I met him there. They wouldn't let me ride in the ambulance.
I got to the hospital and went up to jacks room, he is bleeding, what am I gonna do. Should I call his mom, he can't speak, he isnt conscious, what is happening! The doctor informed me that jacks throat was crushed along with his vocal cords. They didn't know if he would be able to talk for a while let alone sing. I was a mess, I stopped balling long enough to call jacks mom. I was terrified, I hadn't talked to her in years and now we have to meet again like this. She didn't even know me and jack were together. I called from jacks phone she might not answer from me.
*ring ring ring*

Kristin: hey honey how are u!

Me: umm misses Stanford, this is Tatum Conner, you might not remember me but me and jack dated in high school.

Kristin: yes I remember. Can I ask why you have my sons phone.

Me: Kristin listen, I'm sorry we have to reconnect this way but jack and I are in Pennsylvania, it's a long story but jack has been hurt he is in the hospital.

Kristin: what! Is he ok, I'm coming right now!!

Me: he is ok, I'm so sorry.
*call ended*

  She hung up and within 20 minutes she was at the hospital. "What happened" Kristin asked me. "We got off the plane and there was a shooter, the shooter grabbed me and jack stepped In to save me and he got his throat crushed. "What! Will he be able to sing" she panicked. "The doctors don't know." I said. "Why were you with my son in the first place and why were you together in a plane coming here, and why would he jump into save you!!" She yelled. "Look I know u don't like me but me and jack have been back together for awhile now, I don't know why he didn't tell you. But we got engaged recently and he told me that you didn't know. He wanted to come and tell you about us properly" "I'm so sorry" I explained. "He got engaged and didn't tell me" she said more soft almost sad. "I would've respected his choice whatever it was" "I love him" she continued. "And I don't hate u or anything, high school was a long time ago and I thought it was just rough on jack how much him and Phoenix didn't get along." She finished. "Well jack wanted you and isla both to know about the engagement so we decide to come home and say it face to face" I replied. "Well thank you for thinking of us" Kristin said. Just after that the doctor came in and said that jack was most likely going to be able to sing again but that they were going to go down into his vocal cords and fix them. The doctor said he would need a lot of rest after the surgery and that he wouldn't be able to talk for awhile.

Time skip**
Me and jack stayed in Pennsylvania for a little while after the surgery and pushed the wedding date back a month. When we finally did go back to LA jack rested a lot and soon he was able to start talking again. He did ok and his throat did hurt him from time to time but me and the boys worked through a lot with him. We all took good care of him. It was not even close to being able to sing again, which took a toll on a lot. We had to keep everything from the fans and jack was miserable. We were getting married and jack just had major surgery and we couldn't tell anyone. The people that manage and help out WDW said that jack still had girls swooning over him and publicly getting married this young and then a big scandal about his vocal cords would just hurt WDW.
   It was about a month and a half after surgery and the doctor told jack he could try to start singing again but that he still wouldn't be able to sing full time, just a little bit here and there for now.
We were all working week by week to try and get jack to his old self. All of the boys took turns singing with him and doing vocal exercises with him. A couple days a week we stopped the exercises because we didn't want jack to feel like he couldn't do anything himself.
Me and him went out for ice cream often, and avoided the reporters and paparazzi. After a few more weeks, jack was ready to start recording and I was so excited to hear him singing like he used to. "Hey babe" he said. "Yah" I asked. "Thank you for everything"he said before he stepped onto the mic. "Your welcome" I yelled as I walked away. I really do love jack.
