Hi Melinda, this is a story, I think you will like. It isn't about you, but the theme, I'm sure you will love it. Oh man I hope you do. ;D
Chapter 1
Cliff woke up, and he felt horrible again, it has been 2 weeks. He got up out of bed, and walked to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror, he looked horrible, he should he hasn't slept good. He didn't know if it was because Afton left him, or his eating habits, but he knew he had to take this serious now. He showered and got in his suit, the Doctor's visit would have to wait a couple more days. He had to finish the Cartel meetings, the thought of seeing JR today made him ill. He walked downstairs, all he could muster was a glass of juice. He drank it, got his briefcase, and left for the meeting. He was driving over to the hall, he kept getting this pain, that made him double over. He got to the hall, he had to sit in the car for a few moment, until the pain went away. He finally got out, and was walking into the building. He got inside, he heard Marilee yell out his name. He didn't want to play her game today either, but he waved. He walked over, and she hugged him, "you are late today, you missed the free bagels, and coffee, and other snacks"
" I don't care, I couldn't eat today". Bobby touched his shoulder, "Cliff you look horrible, what is wrong"?
"Nothing Bobby, I'm not sleeping well, and I have been feeling ill"
'Did you go to the Doctors"?
"I will but I can't spare the time right now".
"Your health is more important Cliff" JR walked over, "Hey Cliff Oh man what is wrong with you"?
"I don't feel well, that is all"
"Why did you come than, to spread your nasty germs"?
"Shut up JR , please just shut up". Everyone was looking Cliff wasn't himself, he said he was sorry, and walked over to the bathroom. Bobby looked at JR, "Why do you provoke him JR, he isn't feeling well".
They all turn, someone came out and said the meeting was about start". Bobby told the rest to go in, he would check on Cliff. He walked over to the bathroom, and walked inside. He saw Cliff holding the sink, and he was sweating, and Bobby could tell he was in extreme pain.
"Cliff, what on earth is going on, you are in extreme pain".
"Bobby it will go away, I think it is my nerves. I haven't been eating or sleeping well since Afton left. The pain will get better, don't worry, go into the meeting , I will be in soon".
"I'm not leaving you alone", Bobby stayed with him, until he was better.They both walked into the meeting, and Bobby kept watching Cliff, and he could tell off and on, he was getting bad pains. The meeting ended at 5pm, and everyone was walking to their car. Bobby said goodbye to Cliff, and told him to go straight to the Doctor. Cliff just wanted to get home, and rest. He got to his car, and got in. He tried to ignore the pain, but it keeps getting worse. He got to the house, walking in, and locking the door. He walked over to the couch, and barely made it there before collapsing on the couch. He wanted to cry, the pain was bad, he shut his eyes, trying to fall asleep. He was exhausted, but how could he sleep, being in so much pain?. He finally fell asleep, but he knew something bad was wrong, tomorrow, he had to go to the Doctor, he had no choice.

Chapter 2
Cliff was awake most of the night, the pain was pretty bad. He grabbed his cell phone, dialing Afton's number.
'Hello"
"Afton, It is Cliff"
"Cliff it is 12 am what is wrong with you"?
"Please listen, I need you"
Cliff was shocked, the phone went dead. He laid back,"Oh great thanks Afton". He dialed Bobby's number, and hated having to ask for help.
"Hello"
"Bobby it is Cliff"
"Cliff are you ok, you don't sound good"?
"No, something is wrong, I don't want to call a ambulance, can you help me"?
"Ok, I will be right there Cliff". He hung up, and Cliff tried to sit up, but he screamed in pain. He had to get dressed, but he couldn't move. He got up finally walking to the stairs, slowly going up them. He got to the room, the room was spinning, he walked to the bed, and collapsed. He laid trying to stay awake, but everything went black, and he was unconscious. Bobby got to his house 15 minutes later. He knocked at the door but didn't get a answer. He yelled out his name, he didn't care if the neighbors might call the Police. He remembered where he use to keep his spare key. He walked over, lifting the mat , and was surprised it was there. He grabbed it, opening Cliff's door, and yelled out for him. He looked around downstairs, and didn't see him. He ran upstairs, seeing Cliff on the bed, unconscious. He ran over touching Cliff's arm, but he couldn't wake him. He grabbed the phone calling the ambulance. They said they would be there as soon as they could. Bobby was scared, Cliff really didn't look good. Bobby ran downstairs, to see if the ambulance was coming. They finally arrived, and Bobby took them upstairs, showing them where Cliff was. They ran over, examining him, they said his pulse was really weak, and they knew he had a extremely high fever. They got him ready for transport, and rushed him to the hospital. Bobby followed in his car, he was so worried, he prayed Cliff was going to be ok. He would never forgive, himself if something happen to Cliff. He should have insisted he go to the hospital, after the meeting today. Everyone knew something was horribly wrong. He parked the car, and ran into the Emergency area. He went to the front desk, asking where Cliff Barnes was taken? They told him to have a seat, someone would come out, once, he was checked out. Bobby sat down, he didn't know if he should call Afton or not? He had her number but her and Cliff had a nasty break up. He thought he would anyways, he dialed Afton's number.
"Hello"
"Afton it is Bobby".
"Bobby , what is wrong, it is so late"?
"I'm sorry Afton, Cliff is in the hospital"
"What are you talking about, he called me tonight"?
"He called me too, he hasn't been feeling well. He collapsed in his house tonight, I couldn't wake him. He is at Dallas Memorial, it looks really bad Afton".
"OMG Bobby , he said he needed me, I hung up on him".
"Afton don't blame yourself, but I thought you should know".
"I'm coming Bobby, I will be there in a couple of hours". Bobby hung up, and hoped she would get there fast, maybe seeing her would help Cliff.

Afton was wrong to hang up on Cliff, she was only thinking of herself. I know thats what happens with a breakup though. Poor Cliff I hope they find out what is wrong with him. I also like that he called Bobby. I think they could have been friends if Bobby wasnt a Ewing. I think that he didnt mind him at times but he wouldnt admit it. I hope Bobby is there for Cliff during this time, he really doesnt have anyone. Love this story, it is already one of my favorites. thanks for updating Jessie

Chapter 3
Bobby was getting worried no one was coming to tell him anything. He asked the nurse, and she said be patient he will come out soon. It was 1/2hour later Dr. Wilson came out, and walked over to Bobby.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Wilson, I have been with Cliff. Sorry it took so long, but we did many tests, and have some really bad news. Do you have any idea how long he has been feeling sick"?
"Not really I don't see him much, but today he looked awful. He didn't want to go to the hospital, but he said he would get checked out. He called me today, and asked for my help. I knew he was suffering badly, he never asks me anymore for anything.
"He had a bad infection that has gotten extremely toxic. He is undergoing a extreme antibiotic flush. I'm really sorry, but due to the type of infection, his both kidneys, are failing. We have done tests without a transplant he won't survive. I will put him on a donor list he will be bumped up the list. I don't know if you want to get his friends , Family anyone who would be willing to be tested. His liver is also damaged , but I'm hoping we can fix that. I'm so sorry, if we do not get a donor, within this month, I don't think he will survive. If he only came in when he first started feeling ill". Bobby sat down , and Dr. Wilson walked back to Cliff. Bobby couldn't believe this was happening, poor Cliff. He didn't have family but he could get some of the Cartel, and other to get tested. Afton ran into the hospital, and ran over to Bobby.
"How is he Bobby, please tell me he will be ok"?
"I'm sorry Afton he is critical, he has been sick for awhile but he never got checked out. He had a infection in his kidney, that destroyed both of them. If we can't get a transplant donor they don't think he will live another month".
Afton knee's gave out, and Bobby grabbed her sitting her down. "OMG I hung up on him Bobby"?
"Afton don't blame yourself the damage was already done. I keep thinking about the last time I saw him. It was a week ago, he didn't look good than. I was to busy , I didn't ask how he was."Bobby says
"Can we see him"?
"I don't think so , they are still doing tests. I have to phone people to get tested".
"I will get tested Bobby".
"I will too, but what if we can't find a match"?
"We will Bobby we can't lose Cliff, I love him Bobby. I have missed him, but when he needed me the most, I hung up on him".
"I wish Pam was here, I don't know what to say to him"?
"You have been a good friend to Cliff Bobby".
"Not really, but I like him , most of the time". Afton hugged Bobby, and whispered, "If I was here, I would have gotten him to the Doctor'.
"Shh Afton, don't think that way, just pray for a miracle". Afton sat waiting to see Cliff, as Bobby drove home, to make calls to everyone he knew.

Melinda you missed my previous chapter, I wanted to see what you thought. Chapter 4 Afton was told she could go in to see Cliff for a few moments. She hadn't seen Cliff since that night a few months back. They had a terrible fight, and she walked out. She walked over to the bed, touching his face. Cliff was so weak but he opened his eyes, trying to smile, but she could tell he was in so much pain. Afton whispered, "Forgive me for hanging up on you Cliff". "I'm not mad, but girl I needed you badly". Afton smiled, "I know thank God you called Bobby" "He came to help me Afton". "Yes Cliff Bobby is a really good friend, he went home but he will be back" "Afton they haven't really told me what is going on"? "Your really sick sweetie, forget about it, and rest". "Afton please tell me what is wrong with me"? "You have a really bad infection, you are getting better". "You lying to me, I can tell by your eyes Afton". "Oh Cliff you will be ok, but you need a transplant , your kidneys have failed due to the infection. How long were you sick Cliff"? "Oh 3 weeks Afton, I didn't want to go sit in a doctors office. I thought it would get better, it got worse". "Ok Cliff shut your eyes, you are having trouble speaking" "Afton I'm sorry, I have no one". "You have me, and Bobby really cares about you. He is going home to call everyone to come in and get tested". 'Oh I don't want to die like this Afton, I'm afraid". Afton grabbed his hands they were shaking. She touched his face, "you won't die Cliff, I won't let you". "I made so many mistakes Afton, but letting you go was my worst one" Afton started to cry, she wanted to hear that for so long. The Doctor walked in, "I'm sorry, you will have to leave and let him rest" "No, let her stay please". "Ok but you have to sleep Cliff, you went through a lot today". Cliff started to shut his eyes, but he whispered, "don't leave me again Afton". She touched his face, "I won't , I will be right here when you wake up". Afton couldn't stop crying, he was so weak, she was afraid if the donor wasn't found soon, she would lose the love of her life.

Chapter 5
Bobby got home he walked into the house. He was so upset, he saw his Mom, and hugged her.
"Bobby how are you, how is Cliff"?
"Not good Ma Ma, his kidney's are damaged, he needs a transplant, or he will die"
"OMG that is horrible".
"Yes, I have to phone friends, and Colleagues, but everyone should be tested.
"The Family will of course, you go make the calls, do you want help".
"I will be fine, I could use a coffee". She walked away as Bobby saw Sue Ellen and JR walk downstairs. "Oh I'm glad your both here, Cliff is in the hospital". Sue Ellen was concerned but JR yelled, "what for did he eat too much Chinese food"?
"JR he is critical he had a bad infection, but he didn't get checked out. He needs a kidney transplant, both his kidneys are completely damaged. I want you both to be tested, the whole family should".
"I will Bobby ", Sue Ellen says. JR yells, "I won't , he wouldn't do it for me, that is for sure"
"JR please, don't talk like that".
"What Sue Ellen, your lover is in trouble, and your willing to give up a body part? I'm not do you hear me, I'm not doing anything for that idiot". Bobby grabbed JR, "Fine don't but shut up ok".
Miss Ellie walked over, "JR you are doing this, don't be so rude".
"You can do what you want, I won't do it". JR walked out of the house, and Sue Ellen ran after him. She got to the car, as he started it up. 'JR please stop, I know your upset, but we should talk".
" There is nothing to talk about do what you want Sue Ellen". He took off leaving Sue Ellen standing there.
Bobby was calling everyone he knew, they all said they would be tested. Sue Ellen walked in, and Bobby smiled, "JR left right, don't worry Sue Ellen, I expected that from him".
"Bobby is Cliff really critical"?
"Yes, Sue Ellen, he needs this transplant, or he will die".
"Oh God Bobby, I can't believe this, I wish Pam was here for him".
"Sue Ellen , I have made all the calls, I have Phyllis making some too. Lets go to the hospital, and get tested. Ma Ma and Clayton are coming over later in the afternoon, and they are bringing Lucy". Sue Ellen left with Bobby, they got to the hospital. Bobby went to the Nurse's station, and they told him what room he was in. Bobby and Sue Ellen walked down, and Sue Ellen smiled, "you go in, Afton won't want me in there".
"Sue Ellen come on".
"No, I don't want any trouble, she would be upset". Bobby walked into the room, and Cliff saw him. "Bobby thank you, for helping me".
"Cliff I'm so sorry, I should have taken you to the hospital after the meeting".
"It wouldn't make a difference Bobby".
"Oh Cliff why didn't you get checked out sooner"?
"I thought I would get better on my own".
"I called so many of your friends, and my family are coming in to be tested"
"JR Bobby"?
"No, but Sue Ellen is outside, she was afraid to come in. She didn't want to hurt Afton, so she is waiting for me to be tested". Afton walked to the door, she walked out in the hall. "Sue Ellen you were afraid to come in"?
"Yes, I didn't want you freaking out, Cliff doesn't need to see that".
"I wouldn't do that Sue Ellen, come in and say hi to him"
"You are sure"?
Afton held out her hand, and Sue Ellen took it, and they went to Cliff.
"Sue Ellen thank you for coming".
" I'm so sorry your suffering Cliff, you never took good care of yourself".
"Oh I already got a lecture from Afton now Bobby now you Sue Ellen".
"I'm sorry Cliff, I had no right". Sue Ellen smiled,
"Oh don't say sorry, I love that you care, having you three here makes me feel better already". They all smiled, but they could see he was suffering, and they all were afraid, they just might lose him.

Chapter 6
The family all got tested, some of his friends, and collegues came. The Doctor walked out to Afton, "we have no match yet, is there anyone else you could call"?
"We don't know where his Sister is, I don't know who else to call"?
"He will be put on the list, but you must realize, he is critical". Afton started to cry, Bobby hugged her, he was speechless. Sue Ellen walked over, "Bobby what about John Ross, and Christopher"?
Afton looks, "They are so young, I wouldn't expect them to be tested". Bobby smiled, "Hey we will have them tested, but they might not be a match".
"Bobby, I can't lose him, I just can't".
"Shh we are going to do everything to get him that transplant". Clayton walked over, "I will go home, and bring the boys back ok".
"Thank you", Bobby and Sue Ellen say. Clayton went home, and got the boys, he told Teresa where he was taking them. He left, and drove back to the hospital. Sue Ellen walked over touching John Ross's face, "Do you know why your here John Ross"?
"Yes, Grandpa Clayton says Mr. Barnes is really sick. We have to see if we can help him".
"Yes, it might hurt a little, but can you be brave for me"?
"Yes, Mom I can"..Sue Ellen took John Ross, and Christopher down to the testing room. Bobby came too, they stayed with the boys the whole time. They both were so brave, they walked back upstairs. Sue Ellen decided to take John Ross home, he was exhausted, and she wanted to see if JR was home yet.
JR arrived at Southfork, he walked inside, and Teresa greeted him. "Mr. Ewing everyone is at the hospital".
"Good for them, where are the boys"?
"At the Hospital, Mr. Farlow took them to the hospital to be tested. Me and Raoul are going to go tomorrow, we will do anything for Bobby".
"He took my boy"?
"Yes, Sir", JR grabbed his car keys , and walked outside. He saw Sue Ellen's car drive up. John Ross got out of the car with Christopher. "Daddy I was tested, it hurt but I was brave".
"John Ross, you and Christopher go to your room right now".
"Why Daddy, Mommy said we can have ice cream"?
Now " JR screamed scaring the boys, they both ran into the house, and went upstairs. Sue Ellen was petrified, she moved backward as JR grabbed her arm pulling her close. "How dare you take our boy to the hospital, to help that man"
"JR calm down, we don't even know if he is a match"
"I don't care if he is match, he will not help him".
"Yes he will, Cliff needs this transplant". JR lost it pulling her into the house, she was shocked, he was so angry. He pulled her upstairs, she lost her balance, falling a couple of times. He screamed at her, to get up, which she did. John Ross ran out in the hall, "Daddy what is wrong"?
"In your room now". John Ross ran in, shutting the door. Sue Ellen was pulled into their bedroom. He went into the closet grabbing the suitcase, "pack your stuff, and get off of Southfork".
"No, I'm not leaving John Ross". JR raised his hand, she didn't move she glared at him, he screamed, "you still love Cliff, get out".
"I love you JR, I always have, don't you get it".
JR shook her over and over, "You slept with him, my worst enemy, you tramp". Sue Ellen screamed, John Ross ran into the bedroom, "don't hurt my Mommy". He screamed, Sue Ellen and JR were shocked, they could see their fighting scared him, they never seen him more terrified in their whole life". Sue Ellen walked over, "John Ross Sweetie, I'm so sorry you saw that". JR was ashamed, he walked over knelling down, "God John Ross, I'm so sorry".
"Say sorry to Mommy not me". JR touched Sue Ellen's face, "Forgive me Sue Ellen". She went into his arms, and he held them both close.

Great updates Jessie. JR is awful getting mad at Sue Ellen for taking John Ross to get tested to see if he can help Cliff. I hope that Cliff is going to be ok.

I agree with Sanda that JR was pretty bad here, scary to John Ross. I hope he calms down and lets Sue Ellen do what she has to to try to save Cliff. Love this story- glad you updated this one!
