Drowning In Love And Sorrows - New Chapters!

Into The Ash

JAKE'S POV

I'm being unloaded from an ambulance now, I'm being taken into the hospital. My father talks a lot about his job and I take BioMed so hopefully I'll be able to keep conscious by trying to understand conversation. The doctors are running me into a room and onto a real gurney. The EMT gave the doctor my stats.
"We gave a blood transfusion of O-neg in the ambulance and heart rate is steadily decreasing" the man said as we walked away and back to the ambulance. So I'm slowly dying and bleeding out. I thought to myself. I need an MRI. I could have bleeding in my lungs causing my airway to be clogged. I analyzed all options I could think of and if the MRI wasn't done before surgery they wouldn't know to fix my lungs and I would die of lung failure on the table.

A real doctor came into the room and stood over me. She asked me to follow the light and I did as I was told. I desperately tried to keep my eyes open as my body began to shut down.
"We need an MRI before surgery. Close the bullet wound for the time being." A woman said to another man.
"We need to get him up to O.R now. Theres no time" the man replied.
"There is time. He could have pelvic bleeding and die on the table" she said fighting for my life.
"You are a resident, I am chief of surgery. You know nothing compared to me" the man said.
She's smart and better than him. He's to ignorant to admit it, probably because she's a girl.

The doctor gave me anesthesia after prepping for surgery. When she walked by I grabbed her hand. She bent over to me and pulled off the oxygen mask. I tried to speak but barely could my body begged me to surrender but I refuse to do so.
"My friends, Jalyn. I will die. MRI" the only worlds I could spit out were thankfully the main idea of what I was trying to say. She looked at me sympathetically and spoke words that I knew she didn't believe in.
"There's no time for an MRI. We will take care of you, I promise" she told me as I let go of her hand. She placed the mask over my face and this time I gave into anesthesia.

I was rolled into the O.R and everyone around me was preparing to extract bullet fragments and sew me up. Me however, I was preparing to die. I could almost feel the trickling blood through my body into places in didn't belong. Blood was no longer being pumped through my body making basic function possible, it was pumping into my lungs and stomach. I knew for sure it was in my lungs when they put a breathing tube into my throat. This. Is. It.

JALYN'S POV

I ran into the hospital with my friends and ignored the tears rushing down my face. I ran to the counter.
"Jake Devin, bullet wound, trauma. Where is he" I said bluntly to the receptionist.
"I the O.R the doctor will update you when it's over." She replied understandingly. We sat for what seemed like forever, but was really just 45 minutes later. A woman in a white coat walked to the waiting area. She was straight faced. My heart dropped into my stomach when I saw her coming towards me. When she reached is we all stood.

"You're with Jake Devin?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am. Is he still in surgery?" Gee asked placing a hand on my shoulder.
"We brought him into surgery, and realized that there was blood in his lungs. We gave a breathing tube and his blood pressure dropped tremendously. We performed compressions and used a defibrillator against his heart, but we saw no activity. His heart stopped at 5:14 pm. I'm so sorry for your loss" she touched Hannah's arm and walked off, back to work.

We all had to go home. Kaitlyn and Hannah stayed with Frank, Ray stayed with me Mikey and Gee. I couldn't sleep. I stayed  in my own bed, alone. I didn't sleep, I didn't even close my eyes. I just thought about how my friend was with me one minute and just gone the next. All gone, never seen again. I cried and I cried. Gerard checked on me. He tried to talk, and comfort but I only pushed him away. I cared about nothing but what I could've done differently. I could've done something. Anything, to save him. And I didn't.

Hey! An incredible loss to the team and one that will be mourned throughout the series. I love you Killjoys🖤🕷
