Skip and Beau

Chapter 14: Is the Decision Final?

*Sara's Point of View*

This couldn't have gone worse. I loved him. I loved him so much. My Beau is gone.

I sat there and wept as the medics came in to take him away.

"HOLD YOUR ASSES UP. I'M A CERTIFIED DOCTOR." I heard Mrs. Brooks scream as she ran downstairs. I could tell she was in a daze and her face was streaked with tears, her eyes still red and puffy.

Luke, Jai, and I were stunned. We'd never heard her swear. I looked up from laying on Beau to find her running towards me. I had forgotten she worked at the hospital as an ER doctor before she quit to be a pediatrician.

"Sara, get up." she told me. I did as she said, although I was still shaking a little. She grabbed the defibrillator and quickly set it up. A little beep went off. "CLEAR!" she screamed

My hands quickly left Beau so she could shock him. After another beep, she shocked him again. And again.

"Ma'am," an EMT told her. "we've already tried, he's been dead for thr-"

"CLEAR!" she hissed.

We all lurched back and stared at the deceased body. Beau's dead body. And it didn't move.

The medic took the defibrillator away from her and left quietly. I hugged Mrs. Brooks. Luke and Jai came over to join too.

We stayed there, crying with each other for his lost soul.

"I WANT BEAU." I sobbed. I cried helplessly, looking at the crumpled body in the two small pools of blood.

Luke moaned.

I looked at him. Wait...he didn't moan, he's talking to his mum. It must've been Jai. But it wasn't him either. It was a low moan...so it obviously wasn't Mrs. Brooks. And there was no one in the room besides...

Beau.

I screamed with happiness. "HE'S ALIVE! HE'S- HE'S BACK! MRS. BROOKS YOU SAVED HIM!"

They looked at me, confused. "You didn't hear? Listen!" I said, excited.

He moaned again. "Ow." he grumbled.

The sad tears turned happy as we crowded around him, the medics running down the stairs as well after hearing me scream.

They rushed him into an ambulance, Mrs. Brooks rode in the back with Beau as Luke, Jai, James, Emma and I rode right behind. I texted Skip telling him to meet me at the hospital, not checking for a reply and hoping he'd come.

Quick Note: You knew I wouldn't let Beau die ;)

************************

We waited outside the operating year for a million years until the doctors came out. We looked at them hopefully.

One of them came up to us. "He's in great shape! We finished fixing his bullet wounds and his heart is beating at a regular pace. We're taking him to Recovery Room 1 if you'd like to see him. Only one visitor at a time."

We nodded. I obviously let their mum go first. Then Beau requested Luke come next. Then Jai went in. I was next!

The nurse came out. "James? Come on in." He left.

I was confused, and James came out 10 minutes later. "Beau said he wants to see you Emma." he told her.

Emma looked at me, shrugged, and walked in. What the fuck Beau! She stayed in there for a few minutes and came out. "You're last, Sar." and left.

I walked in. "Why am I last?" I asked Beau.

"What? No 'Good job living Beau'?" he asked me with a smile.
