Part 6 Jon

Part 6 Jon

After what happened last night, I picked up his journal. I have been dreading his one, mainly because he's my brother. I flicked through the pages not really reading any of it. The words weren't registering with me. Until one entry did.

=================================================================================

I have to have someone write this for me as I lay in bed. I am not allowed to move because of my back injury and having an op. I have been visited by Joe, Donnie and Danny but not you. Why, I have been here for a week now and no sign of you. Where are you, bro?...... Please ....no....don't be.....I know you're not, I can feel you.

=================================================================================

Today Joe and Donnie came in to see me. There on Donnie's lap was a laptop. I was wondering what they were doing.

"Jon, you must promise us that you would not move and ruin your recovery. This took a lot of doing to get the doctors permission. Please stay still" replied Joe while sorting out the laptop so I can see the screen. Meanwhile Donnie was talking to someone else on his phone.

"OK all set on our end, Danny".

"There is someone you may want to see" as Joe turned the laptop around. There on the screen were you, J "Jordan's only been here in hospital for five days. It took them five days to find him. When he came in, he was barely alive. It was very touch and go. It still is now and he is in ICU. Jordan is in a medically induced coma to relieve a severe swelling on his brain. The doctors didn't want to risk your own injury. It was in your best interest not to tell you what with your panic disorder".

I tried to reach my hand to touch your face, Jordan on the screen. I had tears in my eyes which were free flowing down my face. There was my little brother attached to all sorts of machines and a tube attached to you to help you breathe. I can't see much of your injuries. What I could see broke my heart. You see you weren't much of a heartthrob lying there. Your handsome face was battered and bruised. Your head was bandaged too.

"He looks more beaten up than we all did" I replied looking at him.

"That's because he went through the window. They couldn't find him as he wasn't even on the bus when they found us" said Donnie "He was under some of the wreckage. Jordan also has some other serious injuries, he shattered one of his legs as a piece of the bus pinned him down which includes damage to his abdomen. He may lose his leg, they aren't sure yet. He was severely dehydrated. He also lost a lot of blood. Someone looked out for him. The doctor said he is lucky as they thought he was dead when they found him".

"I want to see him, NOW. PLEASE LET ME SEE JORDAN. He's my little brother. He can't be on his own. He shouldn't be alone". I tried to move. Joe put his hand on my chest and shook his head.

"I am with him" replied Danny in view on the screen "Guys, I am switching off Skype as this is not helping". Both Donnie and Joe nodded.

"Noo, how could you? J is all alone. Thanks to you". The screen went black and then so did I.
