Paula and Jason rushed to the scene as various ambulances and cop cars filled the area.... Shannon was being put on a stretcher before being loaded into the ambulance
"He'll be alright....right mom?" Brendon said with a shaky breath
" we're hoping, Brendon.....we're hoping..... " Paula sighed while wrapping her arm around her distraught child "Come on guys we gotta head to the hospital before it's too late"
The foursome thankfully got a cab to ride to the hospital, Brendon and the others sat in the back seat worrying wether Shannon would be alive or not
"Soooooo what happened while I was away?" Jason asked
Melissa tried to keep her anger under control as she turned to her dim witted friend "well let's see here" she said in a sarcastic tone "we found Shannon.... But before we could stop him..... HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE!!!!!"
Jason looked around as his friend cried "I thought that only happened in the movies and on social media" he said while Brendon tried to comfort Melissa
The cab soon arrived at the hospital.... Everyone had stepped out to see a ton of ambulances flooding the entrance.... As Brendon and his friends headed towards the doorway, they spotted Shannon on the stretcher, he looked helpless and weak while being taken to a hospital room
"Ummmm is he dead?" Jason asked
yet again, another "SHUT UP JASON" erupted through the others as they followed the paramedics
Shannon was starting to wake up from his coma like state, falling in and out of consciousness, he was unaware of being in a hospital despite being hooked up to IV drips and other machines
Soon everyone was settled in a operating room, Shannon finally opening his eyes a bit as Paula held his weak hand
"M....Mrs. Small?" A faint voice muttered
"Shannon?" Paula said as she turned her head to find the troubled child had slowly started to wake up " nice to see you're awake! Are you ok? "
"W...Where am I? Is this purgatory?" Shannon asked as he fought to speak
" Shannon....if this was purgatory, I not your friends wouldn't be here right now.... " Paula said "you're in the hospital....you attempted suicide...remember?"
" DAMMIT! I'M NOT DEAD! I WANNA JUST DIE ALREADY! IS IT NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK IF I JUST DIE?! " Shannon helped out before breaking down yet again
Brendon and the others were stunned at what Shannon had just said..... He wanted to die? How can that be? Why would Shannon, a person who was always known to be hyperactive and full of spirit, want to die?
"You don't actually mean that, do you Shannon?" Brendon worried
" Yes....I...do! " Shannon sobbed "That's the only thing I've ever wanted! Ever since I was in the first grade!"
Small looked around, confused beyond all hell as to what Shannon was talking about "What do you mean by "ever since I was in the first grade?"" Brendon asked while feeling uncomfortable watching Shannon crying
Shannon then went on to explain how he had been bullied and neglected most of his life and why he is who he is while trying to catch his breath
"So what you're saying is....you're a school bully....because you yourself were bullied?" Melissa asked surprised " I never knew that was actually a thing! "
"Well....realistically speaking, yes" Shannon said finally calming down while having the occasional shaky hands.... "Thanks guys.... I never thought I'd say this but...thank you for making me feel comfortable talking about my issues...it....means a lot" he finished before falling asleep from the medication.....
The end....
