Chapter 7: I Will Give Anyhthing

Jon runned to the sound of the call. "Hello?" "Mr John Bongiovi?" the man on the other side of the line said. "That's me!" "I'm calling from *Raritan Bay Medical Center*. Your son Jesse Bongiovi had a car accident!" the man said. Jon felt like he lost the earth down of his feet. he pulled himself back together quickly and answered calmy. "I'm coming!" he said and hung up the phone.

He runned upstairs to his bedroom and wake up his wife who was more sceared than him. Jon then went to wake up Stephanie to stay with the boys. Jon then put his phone of his pocket and called Richie in the middle of the night.

Carkeys on his hand Jon and Dorothea left the house. 30 minutes later Jon and Dorothea arrived to the hospital where their son was. They asked where they had him and a nurse gave them informations and a few minutes later they were there.

Jesse was laying there in the ICU. He had oxugen in his nose and lots of cables in his chest that they conecting with two big scearns. The one was saying his heart beat and the other the oxugen stats.  Dorothea was there looking his son other the glass. Jon was there holding her close. "Don't worry Dot! Everything is gonna be alright!" Jon said trying to make his wife feel better and they must believe it. Jesse is gonna be alright.

Dorothea and Jon went back and sut on the chair in front of Jesse's room waiting for some doctor to came over. Insted of that they saw Richie and Ava coming to their side. "Hey man! Everything is gonna be ok!" Richie said and hugged his best friend close. "I hope so Richie!" Jon said when they broke apart. "Uncle Jon!" Ava yelled and went to his hug. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Don't cry Ava! Is gonna be alright." Jon said and smiled at her while Richie was talking with Dorothea.

They sut on the chairs waiting for doctors to come. When finnaly a doctor came. "Family of Mr. Bongiovi?" he asked and all got up. "We're his parents and uncle!" Jon informed the doctor. "How is he?" Dorothea asked and hold her husband's hand very tight. "Not so good. He had hurt his head very bad and he must be surgened. And there is something else that you can help him. From the moment he had the accident the ambulance got there with 30 minutes delay and he had lost lotys of blood. So, if any of you have the same bloodtype which is 0- must be give today some blood! Now if you excuse me!" Doctor said and left. 

Everyone looked puzzled. "I don't have the same bloodtype! Shit!" Jon said as he sut on the chair. "Me too!" Dorothea answered sad. "We don't have the same too!" Richie answered knowing his and his daughter bloodtype. "Not Dave or Tico!" Jon added. "Is the most scarce bloodtype!" Ava said knwing that for sure. "We knew that from the time he was burn!" Dorothea said and singed when Jon was trying hard to remember who has the same bloodtype. And as a miracle Jon remembered one chat with Jesse and told him that they have the same bloodtype. "Pauline!" said and a smile appeared to his face. "Pauline what?" Dorothea asked him confuised. "Pauline has the same bloodtype with Jesse!" answered and look to his wige and his best friend. "Yeah! I remember when she told me that too! I'll call her!" Ava said and pulled from her pocket her phone and called Pauline.

Pauline's mobile rung in the middle of the night. Pauline without opening her eyes she answered. "Yeah?" "Pauline did i wake you up?" "Yeah, you did!" "Look, i'm in the hospital!" as Ava said these words Pauline opened her eyes and asked "Are you ok?" "I'm fine!" "Oh your Gram?" "No, she's fine too!" "Oh my God! Richie?" Pauline more sceared this time. "He's fine too! Is Jesse! He had an accident with his car one hour ago!" No responce from the other line. "Pauline? Pauline? Can you hear me?" "Yes! Where are you?" "We're in Raritan Bay Medical Center!" "Ok, i'm on my way!" Pauline answered and hung up the phone.

She got up from the bed  and  she get dressed in seconds. She took her car keys and her phone  and left her room. Stopping in her kitchen she wrote a note.

When you wake up call me! It's an emargency...... Pauline.

She left the note at the kitchen table and left the house. Getting in to the car she typed the name of the hospital and drove away. About 30 minutes later Pauline had already parked the car to the hospital's parking lot and was heading to the entrance of the hospital. 

Walking terrified to the hallway she asked a nurse and finaly realt where Jesse was. He was on the third floor and she must take the elevator. She pushed the bottom but it was too slow and Pauline wanted to get there as soon as possible. "Fuck it!" she said and opened the door next to the elevator which was heading to the stairs.

Climbing very fast the stairs she get to the third floor. She was out of breath buy she didn't care. She asked again a nurse. Following her instructions went to the other side of the hallway. The door was closed but from the mosque she can see them. Jon was sitting next to Dorothea and was hugged her tight and it was obvious she was crying. The same was doing Ava who was sitting next to Jon. The only one who was standing up was Richie. He was walking up and down to the hallway, he was nervous.

She took some breaths to calm herself down and opened the door. As the door was opened all turned and saw her coming. Ava got up and went to her side almost running. "Thank you so much for coming!" she said and hugged her more and more tight. Pauline didn't answered. She wasn't sure what she had to say right now. Walking next to Ava Pauline get closer to Jesse's parents. While they were walking to them Pauline thought that they will blame her for happend to their son. Pauline was ready to take the blame because if she had done something to stop Zack thing will be diferent now. 

Jon turned up his head and looked to Pauline in her eyes. She was ready to listen to go away and never came back. But this didn't happend. Jon hold her tight in his arms and she did the same. From this time and for now on he wasn't Jon Bon Jovi. He was John Bongiovi to Pauline's eyes. "I'm so glad you're here Pauline!" he said when they broke apart. "How is he?" she asked. "Have a sit! I want to talk about something!" Jon said and Pauline sut next to him. "Look, Pauline the doctor said that he had hurt his head really bad and he'll go on a sergency tommorow! Also he had lost a lot of blood!" Jon paused and singed. "Your bloodtype is 0-?" "Yeah!" "Pauline please i'm begging you could you donate your blood to save my son?" Jon asked with low voise and looked at her in her eyes. Pauline couldn't look into these blue eyes which had filled with tears. "Jon you don't have to beg! I'll give ANYTHING to save Jesse! So let's this be my blood!" Pauline answered without even think about it. These words came from her heart not from her mind. It doesn't matter what she had said to Jesse. He'll always be the boy who loved with all her heart and soul. 

As Pauline answered everyone felt reliefe and it was a good feeling. 

They all sut waiting for the doctor to came and let him know that they found one with the same bloodtype. Now the sun was up in the sky for good and Pauline phone runged, it was her mother. "Pauline where are you?" her mother asked sceared from the other line of the phone. "I'm in Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy. Jesse had a car accident! Now listen to me. You woke up dad and come over here NOW!" "Ok ok, you're coming!" her mother answered and both hung up the phone.

She turned to the others and said "They are coming!" "Great!" Jon answered. A few minitues later the doctor came and Jon informed him that they found a person with the same bloodtype. But beacuse Pauline wasn't an adult and her parents must singed some papers.

Sevelar minutes later Pauline's parents had come and Jon had expained them all the sitiation and the were willing to try because their daughter wanted it so much. They both singed the papers and now Pauline was in a room with her parents and Richie.

"Nervous fast gun?" Richie teased. "No, at least for now!" Pauline answered. "Everything is gonna be ok! You've done this a thousand times!" her mother told her. "I know mum! And i'm not nervous i think you're more nervous that i am!" Pauline answered with honest. "Nah i'm not nervous!" Katerina answered. "Yes, Katerina you are!" Kostas answered and looked to his wife. "Fine! I'm a little nervous!" Katerina admited it.

A nurse came and got closer to Pauline holding a syringe and some little bottles. "Hi, my name  is Jenny and i'm the nurse! I want you to stay calm!" the nurse said and prepared the syringe. "On the count of three you'll feel a little pinch but don't worry it doesn't hurt. And when i said three you'll take a deep breath, ok?" Jenny asked and Pauline nobbed smiling. "Very good!" she said and put away the cap of the syringe. Now Pauline started to feel a little nervous but she must do this for Jesse and no one else.

"Ready?" she asked and Pauline nobbed. "One!" "Two!" "Three!" the nurse said and put the syring needle to Pauline's vein.It was the time evrything around her got black.

*I found the hospital on google. It was the only one closer to Red Bank! Plus i like the name!*

  1. Is Pauline alright? Did she pass out from worrying about Jesse or was it the needle? Glad Pauline and Jesse share the same blood type.
