Part Two
(Rick is still in the waiting room pacing back and fourth when Mrs. Garret walks in)
MG: Rick!
Rick: Mrs. Garret! I am so glad to see you.
MG: Any news on Jo yet?
Rick: No not a word. The only thing I know is that she is in a coma and they aren’t sure if she will make it.
MG: (Tears forming in her eyes) I can’t believe it. I hope she lives I don’t know what I would do if I lost one of my girls. I remember when I first met her. I still can’t believe how much she’s changed. ( Has a flashback of when Jo first came to Eastland.)
(A doctor walking in the waiting room interrupts her flashback. Rick and Mrs. G run up to the doctor)
R: Well?! Is she gonna make it?
D: Well she is still in a coma. But we think she stands a chance of living.
MG: (Lets out a sigh of relief) Thank you doctor. Can we see her yet?
D: Yes but only one at a time.
MG: Ok thank you doctor. Rick you go first.
R: Are you sure?
MG: Positive. She’s your wife.
R: All right. (Follows the doctor)
(In the hospital room Jo is laying in the bed with bandages all over and needles in her arms)
R: (Cringes at the sight of Jo) Oh god please let her be ok please. (Sits by Jo’s side and hold her hand tight) Jo please don’t leave us. There are a lot of people out there who love you very much. (Stands up and walks out of the room)
MG: (Quickly stands up and walks up to him) How is she?
R: (His face very pale and his eyes red from crying lets out a small smile so Mrs. G won’t get upset) I think she will be okay.
MG: Oh that’s good. (Knows that Rick is lying) Well I am going to go in and see her now. (Walks to Jo’s room)
(There is a doctor and nurse in the room giving Jo a shot)
MG: (So shocked by the way Jo looks almost falls over but catches herself)
D: (Sees Mrs. G almost fall) Don’t worry it’s not as bad as it looks. I think she is gonna make it.
MG: Oh I see. How long will it be before she wakes up?
D: Well we aren’t sure. That is the problem with comas you never know when they might wake up she could wake up in and hour or maybe even a year. But don’t worry I am sure she will be up soon. (Motions for the nurse and walks out of the room leaving Mrs. G alone with Jo)
MG: (Slowly sits down in the chair by Jo’s bed) Jo? I don’t know if you can hear me or not but I wanted to let you know that I love you very much. I always have and always will. Jo I care about you and I don’t want you to die. Oh please just wake up! (Begins to cry) Well I guess I better go (Begins to walk out but stops and looks at Jo) Oh and please don’t lease us. (She thinks of all the times Jo was there to help and how tough and brave she was.)
R: (Comes walking up to Mrs. G) Are you ok?
MG: Yes I’m fine. I was just thinking about Jo. I don’t know what I would do without her or any of the girls.
R: I know how you feel.
(Just then Natalie comes running in. She sees Rick and Mrs. G and runs right up to them)
N: Mrs. Garret! Rick! How are ya?
R: Not to good.
MG: Jo isn’t looking too great.
N: (Sits down in the chair and tears roll down her cheeks) Is she going to… you know?
MG: The doctors are talking like she is going to pull through but I don’t know.
N: Mrs. Garret don’t worry Jo’s the toughest girl I have ever met. I know she will make it. Besides doctors tell it like it is. They never lie.
R: Natalie’s right Mrs. G. Jo is strong and doctors never lie.
MG: I guess you’re right. I mean I don’t know a time when Jo couldn’t get through a tough mess. (Thinks of all the times Jo had asked Mrs. G for advice like when she went to the Hicrest Country Club with Harrison) But all those times she was in a jam she always asked for help and advice. But this time I can’t help her.
R: Mrs. G… I think God wants Jo to make this decision by herself.
N: I just hope she makes the right decision.
( A brief moment of silence which is broken by Mrs. G)
MG: She will. I know she will. (Smiles) You know I feel much better now. I know for sure that Jo will make it.
N&R: (Look at each other then Mrs. G and smile)
D: (Comes walking in) I hate to say this but visiting hours are over. I am afraid that you are going to have to go home.
N&R&MG: (Nod their heads, thank the doctor and walk out)

Part Three
(Nat, Mrs. G, and Rick are at Mrs. G’s house sitting on the couch thinking when their thinking is interrupted me a ringing of the doorbell)
Nat: (Answers door) Tootie!
T: Hey Nat! (Hugs Nat) Mrs. Garret! (Hugs Mrs. G) Rick! (Hugs Rick) Has there been any news on Jo?
R: Well the doctors think she will make it…(Suddenly a smile forms on his pale face) and so do we.
T: (Lets out a sigh of relief) Thank god.
MG: Well all we need is Blair.
T: Oh I think I passed her on the highway. She was at a rest stop.
(((Doorbell Rings)))
N: Speaking of Blair. (Opens door) Blair!
B: Hey you guys! (Hugs everyone) Wait someone’s missing.
MG: That would be Jo.
(Everyone puts their head down)
B: Well where is she?
N: Blair stop goofing around.
R: Um… Blair?
B: Yeah?
R: I think I need to tell you something.
B: Well?!
T&N&MG: (All look up and look at each other not believing that Rick didn’t tell Blair)
R: Jo is in the hospital.
B: Is she pregnant?
R: I wish that were the reason but no. You see there was a horrible accident involving Jo. She got thrown off her motorcycle and is in a coma right now.
B: WHAT?!
MG: Now Blair just relax.
B: (Ignoring Mrs. G) Is she going to be okay?!
R: We hope so.
B: Why didn’t you tell me?!
R: Well I knew how close you two were and I knew that you had a long trip ahead of you. I thought that if you knew that you wouldn’t really pay attention to your driving.
B: Well I had a nice safe ride thank you very much.
T: Blair he just didn’t want you to hurt yourself. I mean look at all the people who have been in accidents because of how depressed they were. Rick did the right thing!
N: She’s right Blair. I mean what could you have done if you knew before you left anyway? You would just me miserable.
B: I guess you’re right. Sorry I snapped at you Rick.
R: That’s okay. I know how you feel right now.
MG: Well I think we should go get some sleep. Why don’t you three go sleep up in your old room. Rick you can sleep up in Andy’s old room.
(They all go to bed with hopes that Jo will live)

Part Four
(Everyone is at the hospital)
D: Jo doesn’t seem to be doing as well as yesterday. I am starting to think that she might not make it. I’m sorry. (Puts head down)
(Suddenly something begins to beep and a huge crowd of nurses and doctors run into Jo’s room)
B: (Shoves through all the doctors and sits by Jo) Jo? Jo?! JO?! Please don’t leave Jo please! Jo you can’t leave. You just can’t.
D: Miss you are going to have to leave.
B: No I am not leaving Jo’s side. Oh please Jo come back. (Begins to cry)
(All the doctors leave about to tell everyone out there that Jo died)
B: Jo please don’t leave me. We have been through so much it can’t end now. (Has flashbacks of Jo and Blair’s Graduations from Eastland and Langley, and all the times Jo was there for her and when she was there for Jo.)
(Suddenly Jo’s eyes open)
Jo: Blair!? What are you doing here?
B: JO! You’re alive! (Hugs Jo)
J: Is there something I missed?
B: No… not really. Oh you almost died. Jo don’t ever do that to me again! I don’t know what I would without you.
J: Blair I’m okay don’t worry. Is Mrs. G here? I thought I heard her.
B: You mean you heard everyone talking to you?
J: Yeah. Oh and Blair don’t worry as far as I know what you said never happened ok? Unless you want it to.
B: I do.
J: (Smiles)
B: Well I better go tell everyone you’re okay. I’ll be right back don’t worry.
J: Okay I won’t.
B: (Runs to everyone who is crying) Jo’s alive!!!! She’s okay.
MG: What?!
(Everyone goes running in)
J: Hey guys! Are we having a reunion or something?
MG: I guess you could say that.
R: Jo I thought I lost you. I sure am glad to have you back.
N: Yeah you had me worried there Jo. But I knew you would pull through you always do.
T: I was a little doubtful that you would make it but I knew all along you would never leave friends like us.
J: (Smiles and tears of joy run down her cheeks) Guys you know I would never ever leave ya. You guys mean too much to me. Oh and Blair thanks for making me change my mind.
B: (Smiles)
MG: Well I am going to see when you can get out of this place.
D: She can leave whenever she thinks she can handle it.
J&B: NOW! (Look at each other and laugh)
N: Now there is a moment that happens very rarely.
J: (Hears Nat and laughs) Well what do ya say we get out of this place. I think a better spot for a reunion would be at Mrs. G’s house.
(Everyone smiles and hug Jo)
(((Credits roll and theme song plays)))

Well what do you think? I know it may seem unbelievable but do you think I could let my favorite character die?
