JJ's been in hospital the past three days and he still hasn't woken up. They say he's gone into a medically induced coma after performing CPR on him to bring him back.
They're still unsure if he's ever going to wake up but by law you have to keep the life support on for at least 14 days. After that they said they're going to have to turn it off and let him die just because he hasn't got any family left, or willing to pay to keep it on.
They just don't want to waste medical expenses on him because he's a Pogue.
We've already offered to pay for it but we weren't allowed because 1) we're minors and 2) we're not his legal guardians.
I just hope with all my heart that he wakes up before the times over.
...
"Hey kids" Deputy Shoupe came swinging round the door frame of the Chatue
"I-uh... how's JJ?" He asked
We sighed "he's in a coma"
"Oh..." he looked guilty
"Yeah we'll just pretend that this isn't your fault eh?" I snapped
"Look I'm sorry okay? But he had no pulse. He was essentially dead so there was no point in wasting medical suppl-"
"Are you serious!?" I boomed "if that was some kook rather then JJ you'd have sent them off straight away to get them the finest treatment, regardless of whether they had a pulse or not. You just think he's just a dirty, criminalistic Pogue that's worth nothing! Not even worth attempting to save!"
"Hey, hey calm down. I never said that" Shoupe tried to defend himself
"You basically did" Pope added
Shoupe rubbed his forehead
"Your on a roll sir, first you got two of our best friends killed in that storm and now you've nearly killed JJ too" I yelled
"He's lucky that we managed to get him to the hospital on time, and we may still lose him anyways if he doesn't wake up by the 14th day." Pope quivered with anger
"Alright alright, look if he's not up within the limit I will think about paying to keep him on life support a little longer. Okay?"
"Thankyou but it's not like a few days is gonna change much" I complained
"Take it or lose it" and with that he walked back out
Asshole!

The next day
My phone started ringing and I turned it on to see it was an unknown number. Who the hell calls me at 4 in the fucking morning?
I declined it.
It's too early for this spam bullshit.
I tried to go back to sleep when a few minutes later it rung again.
"Ugh" I picked up the phone "what do you wa- oh, oh sorry... Wait really? Holy shit I'm coming right now"
I got up and raced into the living room
"Pope, Pope get your ass up we need to get to the hospital. JJ's awake" I said excitedly
"What?" He answered sleepily "whats the time?"
"It's 4am but that doesn't matter, just get changed quick" I ordered, pulling the bed covers off him
We both got ready in less then 10 minutes and jumped into the van.
I haven't seen JJ at all since he got loaded up into the ambulance a few days ago.
...
"Wait so your telling me I died...TWICE!?"
He seemed almost proud of the fact he basically died.
I cried happy years "Y-yes" I whispered
"Hey, hey no tears now. Come on I'm alright, see"
I don't understand how JJ's already acting like his normal self even though he just woke up from a coma and is probably in agonising pain. And he was hooked up to about a thousand different machines.
He's completely covered in bruises and cuts, head to foot. He also had to have a blood transfusion because of the amount of blood he lost from his leg, luckily they were able to save it. I'm not sure he'd be the same if he only had one leg.
"That asshole really got you good, huh?" Pope muttered
"Yeah no shit" JJ exclaimed
"Visiting time's up" a nurse swung her head round the door
"But it's only been like 5 minutes" I complained
"Sorry but he just woke up from a coma, he needs some rest"
"Rest? I'm fine, I could go run a marathon if I wanted to" JJ said defiantly
I sighed
"Okay then take care JJ we'll try and visit you later on today" I ruffled his hair
He just nodded, looking up at my hand.
"Now don't you go dying on us again, alright?" Pope knocked his shoulder lightly
"I'll try my best" he replied stiffly
"Come here bro, I love you" he enveloped JJ into a hug
"Alright, alright get outta here" he shoved Pope away
"Go on then" the nurse held up a needle "he needs his medication"
We looked at the needle in shock, that must be the biggest injection I've ever seen in my life.
"Yo what the fuck is that!? Get it away from me!" We heard JJ scream as we exited the room

I think I'd rather get shot in the leg again than have another one of those so called 'injections'.
I have a massive phobia of needles, caused by the one and only Luke Maybank. Surprise, surprise.
He used to inject heroin into himself and it made him go fucking phsyco, sometimes he'd even try inject that shit into me.
"Have you really never had one before?" The nurse asked, closing up her case which was full of hundreds of other needles.
"Doc, I'm from the cut. I've like never even been to a hospital before" I state, we don't talk about that one time I was admitted to hospital in my Freshman year.
She shook her head disapprovingly.
"Doctor Samuels thinks you'll be able to go back home within the next couple of days" she told me on her way out.
"Cool" I said sarcastically
I leaned my head back and thought of everything that happened. How would my dad react to me coming back home?
Afterall he is the reason I'm sat in this fucking bed right now, he's the one who sent that crackhead after me.
I can't look at my dad the same anymore. Before this I had maybe like the tiniest bit or respect and hope that he would change, but that's all gone down the drain now. As far as I'm concerned he's not my father anymore.
I don't know whats going to happen but if I've made it through this then I'm almost certain I can get past my dad, been doing it pretty much my whole life anyways.
Goddamn it why does everything hurt so bad "honestly my G what did I do to deserve this" I mumbled to myself
"HELLO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET ME A FUCKING PARECETOMAL, IM BEGGING YOU PLEASEEE" I yelled into the empty space
A few minutes later the same nurse that jabbed me appeared in the door way.
"Your not here to stab me again are you?" I asked her suspiciously
"No" she sighed at my immaturity "but your going to have get a few more before you can be released"
"Shit... Okay well, can I have a parecetomal. Anything please I will literally take anything just to make it stop hurting" I begged
"I'm sorry but you can't have paracetamol or anything like that. Your already on a lot of medication so you shouldn't be needing anything else" she explained
"Ughhhh" I groaned

It was 4pm and we rushed up to the hospital reception.
"Hey we're here to visit JJ" I said hastily
"JJ?" He asked confusedly
"JJ Maybank" Pope corrected me
"Uh we don't have any JJ's here but we do have a Jaxon James Maybank. Is that any help to you"
"What?" I turned to face Pope
"Must be his real name" he whispered to me
"Is he blonde?" Pope asked, just to be sure
"Yep, I believe so" The man answered
"Alright that's him, thankyou" he grabbed my hand and dashed off.
"Wait I'm still confused about the name thing though" I pointed out, after we had slowed down
"I'm just gonna assume that's his full name and that 'JJ' is the abbreviated version of it" He explained
"Okay, that just about makes sense..."
I burst open the door and saw JJ lying there staring at the ceiling looking bored out of his mind.
"Fina-"
"Jaxon James, eh?" I announced, abruptly cutting him off.
He looked horrified
"What?..." He whispered
LMFAOOOO I'll leave it there for now. So there's the name reveal for JJ ig. Do y'all like it?
Also massive TW for the next chapter, I'm sorry but Luke is going to have to make a final comeback 😓
