Everything You Want

Susan got up from the couch still laughing at what Shawn said about Zack when he was younger and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Is this Ms. Jackson?" the voice asked

"This is Dr. Hill over at Beach General your son has been shot,"

Susan gasped and nearly dropped the phone, "Is he okay? What happened?" he asked.

"We don't know his uncle won't talk unless you get here and he will tell you everything. Your son is fine he's in ICU if he makes it through the night you can breath a sigh of relief,"

"I'll be right there,"

Forty five minutes later Susan, Rachel, along with Emma, and Shawn came running through the hospital doors and ran right up to the front desk Susan was about to ask the nurse where here son was but didn't get a chance when she saw Mat standing right there. She rushed over to him and hugged him, "Oh my God Mat what happened?"

"This guy knocked on the garage door, Zack answered it and the guy asked if he was Zack and of course he said yes. Before I knew could stop him he pulled out his gun and shot him point blank in the chest," Mat explained. Every one knew he was shaky even the way he talked they knew, "Who was it do you know?" Shawn asked trying to fight back the tears. This is the second time her best friend has been the in the hospital and she knows he hates it. All she wanted to do was find him and crawl into his bed and hold him and make sure he doesn't leave her sight every again.

Just then a man with blonde hair and blue eyes in scrubs came up to them, "Ms. Jackson I'm Dr. Hill,"

"Where's my son?"

"He's okay for now the bullet grazed his heart and with his heart condition it could be harder for him to do any thing over the top such as running or sports,"

Shawn shook her head and finally let the tears fall, "No, no, running and sports is all he knows you can't take that away from him," she almost yelled,"

"He still maybe able to do those things just not right now," he said then turned to Mat, "The police are here they need a statement from you," he said before walking away and Mat followed.

"What's he gonna do now soccer is his life and running oh God what is he gonna do?" Shawn said finally sobbing Susan and Rachel put their arms around her and told her that he is a strong and he'll pull through with it.

The hours passed and they still haven't seen him yet and every one was tired and just wanted to make sure he was okay. Susan called Coach Boone and he showed up to be there as well as Shawn's mom.  Mat returned from talking with the police and sat with them. Every one wanted to know is how did this happen and how could it happen. It didn't make any sense at all. Why would some one hurt some one just for the hell of it and it didn't make any sense. Not to any of them.

Zack was laying in the hospital bed hooked up to machines in his mind he felt like he couldn't get out he felt trapped. He could see himself laying there hooked up to all the machines and he didn't know what to do. He looked at himself and then went to the waiting room and saw his mom, Mat, Rachel, little Emma and then Shawn. He felt his heart breaking he walked up to her and knelt down, "Shawn," he said and she looked up and looked around, "Zack?" she whispered. "You can hear me?" he asked. Then she shook her head, "I'm hearing things," she said to herself. Zack tried again, "Shawn," he said louder. This time she jumped up and looked around. "What's wrong?" Rachel asked.

"I swear I just heard Zack call my name,"  she said.

"That's impossible he can't be calling out to you,"

"I know it sounds crazy but let me try something okay,"

Everyone nodded and she sat down, "Zack I'm here what's wrong,"

"I know who shoot me," he said

"He said he knows who shot him,"

"It was some goon that works for Harrison's dad I need you to find out,"

"Zack please don't blame this on him,"

"Shawn you know him!" he yelled but to her it was a whisper.

"I will see what I can do,"

"I will find my way back to you Shawn,"

She smiled, "You always do,"

With that his scenery changed to when he was younger and he saw Harrison getting angry that he was made captain and after everyone left he saw Harrison beating him up.  He thought he was gonna die that day until he was found. Then it went to his first time seeing Shawn when they were five his first memory of her they were at the park and she said, "Zack let's play house you can be the daddy and I will be the mommy,"  he smiled at the memory. He didn't know what was going on all he knew was that he had to find his way back.

The news spread about Zack quick throughout school a lot of people came up to Shawn and told her they were sorry or that he will pull through. They only person that didn't really say anything was Harrison he came up to her and smirked, "You know you stood me up again," he said.

"I know I'm sorry but with Zack being in the hospital I can't really focus right now on anything else but for him to get better,"

"The guy got shot it's been two weeks he won't come out of it," he said

Shawn turned around and slapped him in the face, "How fucking dare you talk to about him like that!" she yelled and everyone around stopped what they were doing.

"You don't know him and don't think I know what you're trying to do. You beat the shit out of him in the 8th grade and then you hired one of your father's goons to shoot him we know what he looks like! On top of things you played with my emotions before and you're doing it now! So if I were you I would tell your goons to lay off my best friend before I come after you and it won't be pretty!" she said as she stormed off leaving a stunned Harrison in the middle of the hall way.

He turned around and got on his phone, "I told you to wear a fucking mask you idiot!"

"He's dead isn't he?"

"No he's in coma and plus his uncle was there!"

 

"Well I didn't see his uncle all you told me was to take care of it,"

"Well you didn't now you have to clean it up!" and with that he hung up his cell phone. He could still feel the sting from where she had slapped him. His main priority was to get Zack Jackson out of the picture so that he can make his move on Shawn but he didn't get why Shawn was so hung up on him. He was at his wit's end and if it meant getting rid of Zack once and for all then he would.

After school Shawn would go to the hospital and sit by Zack's bed and tell him about her day.  Hoping that he could hear her it's been two weeks and ever since that first connection she hasn't gotten anything yet.  She was starting to get worried that Harrison was right.

Zack kept following Shawn's voice and then he was back in his hospital room looking at himself in the bed she was asleep this time curled up next to him. He tried to reach out to her but everything went blank and he tried opening his eyes slowly and when he did he could feel her, "Shawn?" he whispered in a hoarse voice. She woke up and saw that he was awake, "Oh my God," she said sitting up, "Zack?!"

"Shawn," he said again as she went to the door way and called for the doctor then rushed to his bedside and gently took his face in her hands and tears were running down her face, "You're really back," she said and kissed him softly on the his lips.

Harrison was storming out of the hospital when he saw Shawn kiss Zack. He couldn't believe it he actually couldn't. He got into his car and speed off to his house, he got out of his car and stormed into his house ignoring the people around him. He went upstairs to his room and pulled out his 45 and loaded it up. He came downstairs and started searching the house for the man that he hired to shoot Zack. He found him by the pool with a bunch of girls, "You liar!" he said before anyone could react Harrison raised his gun and pulled the trigger killing him.
