A call in the night

[jessie]

This is a Sue Ellen, and JR short story. I'm surprised I'm writing this, but I thought I would give it a try. I'm a true JR, and Sue Ellen fan, but I think they wasted so much time hurting each other. I blame JR more but Sue Ellen was to blame too. I hated when she walked away , and out of JR's life after season 12. This song came to me after listening to the song by Garth Brooks, "The Dance". I find it one of the most beautiful, and saddest songs, I have every heard. Hope you like this short story.

A Call in the night

JR came home from work, and went upstairs. He didn't want to eat dinner with Bobby. He has been alone since Cally walked out of his life. He was happy that she left she deserved better than him. He was happy for Sue Ellen but he missed her so much. He heard how she was doing from John Ross, he didn't want to cause trouble for her anymore. He lost her, and he deserved it, but he thought about her everyday. He sat on the bed throwing his tie off, and grabbed his bourbon. He knew it didn't help but it helped him sleep. He got up showering, and got in bed. He hoped the bourbon helped him falls asleep, he was exhausted. He shut the light out, and shut his eyes, and was drifting off asleep. He was out but he jumped up, and turned on the light. He could have sworn he heard her voice. He knew it was crazy, maybe he was going crazy like Bobby said this morning. He couldn't concentrate at work, he couldn't sleep, or even eat. He was running on empty, he just needed some peace. He was hearing Sue Ellen's voice, but why did he hear her say, "I have always loved you". He laughed, "You fool that is what you wanted to hear". He turned the light off, and went back to sleep. It was 2 hours later, the phone rang, he picked it up.

"Hello"

"Dad"

"John Ross what time is it, OMG it is 11, why are you calling at this time"?

"Dad". He heard him crying he turned the light on.

"John Ross what is the matter"?

"Mom had a accident tonight, she was coming home it was raining"

"OMG is she ok John Ross"?

"No she is gone"

"What are you talking about John Ross"?

"She is gone, I never got to say goodbye, they did everything to save her"

"John Ross was Don with her"?

"No she was alone he is signing some papers, I need you Dad"

"John Ross I will be there for you tomorrow"

"Dad I miss her already, she was rushing home because I said I needed her to drive me somewhere"

"John Ross this isn't your fault"

"It is Dad, I will never forgive myself"

"John Ross your Mom loves you, she wouldn't want you to blame yourself"

"I have to go Dad , Don wants to go home"

"Your leaving your Mom alone"?

"Dad we can't stay"

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean that, I will call you in the morning"

"Bye Dad I'm so sorry to call you so late"

"Hush I'm so sorry Son, I loved her too"

"I know Dad, but it is to late now". John Ross hung up, JR was devastated, he hung up grabbing the pillow, and screamed out Sue Ellen's name.

Jessie, great start to your new story. Poor JR and John Ross. I agree that the song The Dance by Garth Brooks is the most beautiful and saddest songs ever made. I LOVE that song as well.

Oh this is so sad, I love it already. Please update soon

[jessie]

Thanks Melinda and Sanda, this is sad, I'm regretting writing now.

Chapter 2

Bobby ran into JR's room, "OMG JR what is going on are you drunk"?

"Bobby she is gone"

"Who"?

"Sue Ellen"

"JR she is married to Don you have to forget her. She is the Mother of your child, but she moved on, you must too"

"She is dead John Ross just called". JR was crying which shocked Bobby. He walked over sitting beside JR, "Sue Ellen is dead"?

"She had a horrible car accident, probably because you have to drive differently over there. She would be fine if she was still here Bobby"

"Shh I know you are upset so am I but John Ross needs you"

"I need John Ross, but I never got to say sorry to Sue Ellen"

"She was happy JR, she knew"

"How I treated her like crap, I pushed her away. She was the only woman I really wanted, and I ruined it. I will never hold her again, I will never see those beautiful brown eyes. I will never hear her voice, but I will never get to tell her she is the only woman I love. I will never forgive myself, I deserve to be dead not her." Bobby went to touch JR, but he pulled away. "Leave me alone, I deserve to be alone, I'm a fool"

"This isn't helping you JR, this is making it worse"

"How could it be any worse she is dead"?

Bobby sat JR down, "Get some sleep, I will come to London with you"

"I'm not going"

"You have to go there for the funeral, John Ross needs you"

"She is getting buried in the family plots here, I won't allow her to be buried in London"

"You have no say JR"

"Yes I do I will fight Don every step of the way. She needs to be near me, and John Ross we are the only ones that truly loved her"

"Ok listen to me maybe Don will allow it for John Ross's sake. You can't go there saying stuff like this"

"That he took her from me, if she lived here, I would have won her back"

"Maybe that is true but you were married to Cally"

"That was a mistake you fool, it was Sue Ellen I wanted. She walked away with that English Muffin, and got herself killed. I hate her for that she should have fought for me".

"She tried for years JR you destroyed her". JR punched Bobby, "Shut up I don't need you to tell me that, I know what I did". Bobby touched his face, "JR you are losing it, I'm calling the Doctor"

"No leave me alone, I will go to London tomorrow, I don't need you"

"Well I beg to differ, I'm coming I loved Sue Ellen too"

"Really Bobby you loved her, you always told her to leave me"

"Now you are talking crazy but yes, I thought she was better off without you, after you hurt her enough times"

"Really well she is sitting in a cold morgue right now, I guess you are happy about that too"

"JR stop or I will punch you in the mouth. I thought of Sue Ellen like a sister, I would have done anything for her"

"Did you ever try"?

"Yes I was a good friend, I have no regrets"

"Did you ever kiss my wife"?

"What"?

"Did you ever kiss my wife"?

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. OMG this story is soo sad. I know that JR is mad about Sue Ellen's death but he shouldn't have punched Bobby becuase Bobby did love Sue Ellen too like a sister.

[jessie]

Hi Melinda you missed the last chapter, thought I would tell you.

Chapter 3

"JR stop asking stupid questions"

"Did you kiss my Wife"?

"Yes she was like a sister, but if your asking if she ever cheated on you with me, that is beyond sick"

"I'm sorry, but she always said you were the better brother"

"She didn't mean it JR, she was just angry when she said it"

"Bobby she loved you , but I hurt he so much"

"You can't take that back now, just remember the good times with her"

"There wasn't enough it was all my fault, I'm a idiot. I think about her everyday dreaming that she will walk back into my life. It will never happen now, how can I live with myself"?

"For John Ross he lost his Mom, he needs his Dad"

"John Ross must be so lost"

"JR I'm going to call the family ok, just rest you are exhausted"

JR laid on the bed, and shut his eyes. Bobby walked out in the hall, he stood against the wall. He whispered, "Oh God Sue Ellen, I'm so sorry". He wiped the tears from his eyes, and ran to his room. He called his Ma Ma, and Clayton they were away. Miss Ellie took it real hard, Bobby said he would call them with the details. He prayed Don would let her come back to Dallas to be buried. She needed to be near John Ross, and JR. He called Ray, Lucy, and Dusty, and some other friends. He sat down, and called Cliff and Afton, he was surprised Afton actually cried which shocked him.

"Afton are you ok"?

"I never hated Sue Ellen Bobby, I never got to say sorry"

"For what"?

"Never mind it was between me and Sue Ellen"

"I will call you with the details , if the funeral is in London, I wouldn't expect you to come"

"I will discuss it with Cliff, but we might, this is awful"

"Yes it is I feel horrible for JR, and John Ross"

"JR he doesn't deserve your pity Bobby"

"He loved her Afton it doesn't appear that way, but he is dying inside"

"A little to late, thanks for telling us"

"Bye Afton". Bobby sat on the bed he jumped when Christopher walked into the room.

"Dad"

"Christopher thank God your home early, I have some real sad news"

"Oh no is something wrong "?

"Yes it is your Aunt Sue Ellen she was killed in a car accident tonight"

"No"

"Yes Son, I'm so sorry, I know you love her, and she adored you".

Christopher ran into his Father's arms, and started to cry. "Dad John Ross needs us, I know what he is feeling right now"

"We will go with Uncle JR to London, I'm hoping she will be brought back here to be buried"

"Do you think Don will allow that he loved her too"?

JR walked into the room, "Not like me". He was drinking bourbon straight from the bottle.

"JR that isn't helping you"

"Yeah it is , maybe after two of these, I will forgive her"

Christopher walked over, "Forgive her what are you talking about"?

"She left me, she got what she deserved I guess".

"That is sick". Christopher ran out of the room, Bobby yelled out to him. "You sit down JR, or I will knock you out. You will regret this tomorrow, she was a wonderful woman, she stood by you for years. She left because she couldn't take it anymore, and you lost her because you deserved to". Bobby ran out of the room leaving JR standing there staring.

[Sanda]

Sad update Jessie. OMG I feel bad for JR, Christopher, Bobby and John Ross now that Sue Ellen is gone.
