I think everyone remembers the third episode Jo was in. It was when Jo went out with Blair's boyfriend Harrison. Well, I'm going to rephrase it a little. Tell me what ya think.


*Jo and Harrison are at the Catillion*
Jo: This place looks very ellegent.
Harrison: It is. Come with me.
Jo: Aren't we going to dance?
Harrison: Of course we are. Just follow me.
(Believing it is innocent, she goes with him)
Jo: Where are we?
Harrison: This is the 9th green.
Jo: Isn't it a little dark to play golf?
Harrison: We aren't playing golf. But we are playing a game.
Jo: I don't understand.
Harrison: You will. Come down here with me.
Jo: What are you doing? I'm leaving.
Harrison: No you're not. My Dad is friends with the people at this club. He has had them lock all the doors but my Dad doesn't know why.
(He grabs Jo and starts kissing her)
Jo: Stop it!!!!
Harrison: C'mon. You know you want me.
Jo: HELP...
(Covers her mouth)
Harrison: I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Jo: Get your hands off of me.
Harrison: Obviously, you are not going to do this the easy way.
(He holds her down and rips off her dress)

How is it? If it's good, I will continue. :wave:

Keep going.

*After he ripped off her dress, he raped her in a very painful way*

Harrison: Now see. That wasn't so bad. If you had kept your mouth shut, it would have been better. By the way, if you tell anyone about this, they won't believe you. So don't tell anyone if you know what's good for you.

(Jo just stayed silent)

*After he left, she stayed there for a little while because she didn't want anyone to see her. She finally left and went back to Eastland around 1 AM. She was hoping no one waited up for her. Mrs. Garrett of course did.*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, where have you been?? Do you know what tim...Jo, what happend to you??

(Jo continued to stay silent)

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, why aren't you talking? Please tell me what happend!!

(Jo went up to her room. She took a shower to get the smell of blood off of her and then went to bed, but only got a little sleep. The alarm then went off)

Blair: Come on Miss Date Stealer, time to get up.

(Jo just rolled over and started crying)

Natalie: Oh great Blair. What did you do now??
Blair: I didn't do anyhting. Jo I didn't mean it.
Tootie: What's wrong with her? Balir what did you do?
Blair: Why does everyone automatically assumes it was me?? I have to go set my hair.
Natalie: Jo, please tell me what's wrong.
Tootie: We're your friends. You can trust us.

(Jo didn't say a word. Just started crying harder.)

Natalie: (whispers) I think we should go talk to Mrs. Garrett.
Tootie: Good idea!

*They went dowstairs to Mrs. Garrett*

Tootie: Mrs. Garrett, something is really wrong with Jo.
Mrs. Garrett: What's wrong?
Natalie: She won't tell us. She is crying and isn't speaking at all.
Mrs. Garrett: She did the same thing last night. Something must have happend with Harrison.
Natalie: You don't think...
Mrs. Garrett: I don't know. I'm going to tell th headmaster Jo won't be going to classes today and I will sit and talk with her. She will talk to me one way or another.
Tootie: I hope so.
Mrs. Garrett: Don't say anything to anyone girls OK?
Natalie: We won't. I'll make sure she doesn't!!!

*The girls went off to classes and Mrs. Garrett went to talk to Jo.*

Mrs. Garrett: Hi Jo. I brought you up some breakfast and called the headmaster to tell him you won't be going to classes today so we can talk. Go on eat up. It's your favorite. Pancakes!!!

(Jo wouldn't eat)

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, you're really upsetting me. Did something happen with Harrison. Did he touch you?

(Jo started crying really hard)

Mrs. Garrett: Oh God Jo. I'm so sorry. I will be right back.

*Mrs. Garrett called a doctor to come to Eastland right away*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, this is Dr. Wymann. She has come to take a look at you.

(Jo rolled over and started crying again)

Dr. Wymann: Here. Just leave us. I'll talk to her.
Mrs. Garrett: OK. Call me if there are any problems.

*After speaking with Jo, Dr. Wymann went downstairs*

Mrs. Garrett: How is she?
Dr. Wymann: Well, she won't talk, she won't eat, and she is trying to hide her body as much as possible. Even though she wouldn't speak to me, I have to say I think she was raped.
Mrs. Garrett: Oh Gosh. Will she be alright?
Dr. Wymann: Phyically, yes, but mentally, I'm very worried about this depression she has gotten herself into.
Mrs. Garrett: Well, what do we do now?
D. Wymann: There is nothing we can do until she starts talking. She has to make the move. Try to get her to eat and drink as much as possible.
Mrs. Garrett: I'll try.
Dr. Wymann: I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

*She went up to speak to Jo*
Mrs. Garrett: Can I come in Jo?
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: I just talked to Dr. Wymann. She thinks you were...raped. Is that what happend?
Jo: (noods and starts to cry)
Mrs. Garrett: (hugs Jo) SHHH...It's OK. I'm here now. Do you want me to call your Mom.
Jo: (shakes her head no)
Mrs. Garrett: Are you sure?
Jo: (noods)

*About 5 hours later when the girls came home*

Natalie: Did you get Jo to talk.
Mrs. Garrett: Girls, sit down.
Blair: This is bad news.
Tootie: How can you tell?
Blair: It's never good when Mrs. Garret says " girls, sit down."
Mrs. Garrett: You're right Blair. It's not good news.
Natalie: What happend?
Mrs. Garrett: Now, before I say it, do you girls promise not to spread this around?
Blair: We promise. Right Tootie?
Tootie: Why does everyone look at me???
Mrs. Garrett: This is no laughing matter.
Blair: What's going on?
Mrs. Garrett: Do you all rememeber Jo going on that date last night. Well, Harrison raped her.
Blair: (shocked)

How is it coming??? What do you think??

I think it is absolutely terrific! You've handled a difficult subject well, and, managed to add humor in JUST the right places. I can't do that. Add the humor, I mean. I'd put it in the wrong spots. Way to go.

More now!!!!

Thank you. I do have to say, the next part is a little like 'Subjects of Silence' but it is different. I promise!!! :bighug: :stressed:

Blair: Is Jo alright??
Mrs. Garrett: No, she isnt'. She won't talk, eat, or drink. I'm very worried about her.

*There is a loud moaning noise from Jo's room. They all rush to her*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo?? Are you OK?
Jo: (shakes her head no)
Tootie: Oh. She threw up in the bed.
Mrs. Garrett: Natalie, go get a bucket. Tootie, go get some extra sheets. Blair, get one of Jo's nightgown's and a wet washcloth for her head.

*After Jo is cleaned up, Blair goes to talk to Mrs. Garrett*

Blair: Mrs. Garett, about Jo.
Mrs. Garrett: Yes Blair?
Blair: Her throwing up, does that mean she is...pregnant.

*Mrs. Garrett never even thought of that. So she goes to talk to Jo*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, we need to talk. Well, I'll do the talking. Jo, have you thrown up anymore?
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: Do you feel dizzy?
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: Did Harrison, you know, use anything?
Jo: (starts crying) (shakes her head no)
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, I think you might be pregnant.
Jo: (continues to cry)
Tootie: Sorry to interupt but Mrs. Garrett, Rose Polniaczek is on the phone.
Mrs. Garrett: Thanks Tootie. Jo, I think I have to tell her.
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: Ok. I'll be right back.

*Gets on the phone with Mrs. Polniaczek*

Mrs. Garrett: Hello? Rose Polniaczek?
Rose: Yes. Who is this?
Mrs. Garrett: I'm Mrs. Edna Garrett. The school nutritionist.
Rose: Oh, I was wondering if Jo was there.
Mrs. Garrett: Well, Mrs. Polniaczek, Jo went out on a date last night and well, she was raped by the boy she went out with.
Rose: Oh my God! Is she alright?
Mrs. Garrett: No she isn't. She won't eat, drink, or speak.
Rose: I will be right up there.
Mrs. Garrett: I think that's a good idea. Mrs. Polniaczek?
Rose: Yes?
Mrs. Garrett: She has been throwing up a lot and has been dizzy. I asked her if the boy she was with used anything and she said no.
Rose: Oh man, do you think?
Mrs. Garrett: Yes I do. I think she's pregnant.
Rose: Well, on my way up I'll buy a home pregnancy kit.
Mrs. Garrett: Ok. I'll talk to her about it.
Rose: Thank you Mrs. Garrett.
Mrs. Garrett: Please, it's Edna.
Rose: Well, thank you Edna.

*The girls were up with Jo while she was on the phone.

When Mrs. Garrett got off the phone, she kicked the girls out while she spoke with Jo*

Tootie: Why is it always us getting kicked out??
Natalie: Tootie, let it go. Let it go.
Blair: We'll see you later Jo.
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, your Mom is on her way up. On her way, she is going to buy a...pregnancy test. I'm supposed to ask you if you will take it.
Jo: (shakes her head no)
Mrs. Garett: Jo, I don't think you have a choice here. You need to. If you're pregnant, we need to know.
Jo: (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: Good. Your Mom should be up here soon. You should get some rest.

*About two hours later, her Mom came*

Mrs. Garrett: Hello. Come on in.
Rose: How is she?
Mrs. Garrett: She has agreed to take the test.
Rose:Good. How much trouble did she give you before she said yes?
Mrs. Garrett: Not much.
Rose: Well, I'd better get up there.
Mrs. Garrett: Go ahead. The other girls are up there playing a game with her.
Rose: Edna, will you come with me? You have been such a help.
Mrs. Garrett: Of course I will.

*Rose and Edna are now in the girls' room*
Mrs. Garrett: Girls, can you excuse us?
Natalie: See what I mean?!
Tootie: Oh Nat...(they leave)
Rose: Hi honey, how you doing?
Jo: (nodds)
Rose: Jo, please speak to me.
Jo: (turns her head away)
Rose: Well, Edna told me that you have agreed to take the test.
Jo: (nodds)
Rose: Well, here it is.
Jo: (goes into the bathroom)
Rose: She doesn't look good at all.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo is tough. She just needs some time to adjust.
Rose: I know. (Jo comes back in)
Mrs. Garrett: It says wait 2 minutes. I'll set my wrist watch.
Jo: (climbs into her mother's arms.)
Rose: It's OK. I'm here. (two minutes later, BEEP BEEP BEEP)
Mrs. Garrett: It's ready.
Rose: Edna, can you...
Mrs. Garrett: Sure.
Jo: (starts crying)
Mrs. Garrett: It's...positive.

I'll end it here for the night.

*After Rose and Edna spoke to Jo, she fell asleep and Rose and Edna are now in the kitchen having coffee*

Rose: I can't believe it. She's only 16.
Mrs. Garrett: I know. I sometimes think that this is a bad dream and I will wake up soon, but I know I won't.
Rose: Well, I had better start getting back.
Mrs. Garrett: Would you like to spend the night here?
Rose: Thanks, but I have to work early tomorrow morning. I'll call tomorrow night to check on Jo.
Mrs. Garrett: I'll take good care of her. You can count on that.
Rose:Thank you very much, Edna.
Mrs. Garrett: Think nothing of it.

*It was the next morning and Mrs. Garrett goes upstairs to wake up the girls*

Mrs. Garrett: Come on gang! Time to get up.
Tootie: I don't want to go to classes today.
Mrs. Garrett: OK Tootie, you don't have to.
Tootie: Wow. Thanks Mrs. Gar...wait! What's the catch?
Mrs. Garrett: Well, let's see. You can scrub every peice of furniture in the house, you can clean the...
Tootie: WOW! I can't wait to go to school. It's going to be so much fun!!
Mrs. Garrett: That's what I thought. Jo, wake up. Do you guys know if she got any sleep last night?
Blair: She kept on waking up during the night.
Mrs. Garrett: Poor thing. Maybe she should continue to rest for one more day.
Natalie: Mrs. Garrett, come here quick.
Mrs. Garrett: What is it Natalie?
Natalie:Look at Jo. Does she look right to you?
Mrs. Garrett: Jo. Jo. Wake up Jo.
Blair: Mrs. Garrett, look what I found in the bathroom.
Tootie: Mrs. Garrtt, how full was this pill bottle when you last saw it?
Mrs. Garrett: It was filled to the top. Oh my God. Jo took an overdose!!! Balir, call 911.

*Mrs. Garrett was at the hospital. The other girls went to their classes but don't think they didn't put up a fight. They wanted to be there with Jo. Mrs. Garrett wouldn't let them though.*

Doctor: Jo Pol..Polni
Mrs. Garrett: Polniaczek. How is she??
Doctor: We pumped her stomach before it did any damage.
Mrs. Garrett: And the baby?
Docotr: The baby is also fine. What I'm worried about is the fact that she isn't talking or eating. She could kill her baby if she doesn't eat. She is awake. You can go and see her now I you would like.
Mrs. Garrett: Thank you very much.

That's all for now. Watcha think???

still...absolutely terrific.

*Mrs. Garrett walked down the hallway to Jo's room*

Mrs. Garrett: Hi Jo. How you feeling?
Jo: (still stayed silent)
Mrs. Garrett: Why did you do that Jo? The baby is fine. Were you scared about the baby?
Jo: (starts crying) (nodds)
Mrs. Garrett: I'm sorry this happend to you but do you honestly think killing yourself would be better?
Jo: I..I did at the time.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, you're talking. Why wouldn't you talk?
Jo: I was scared. He said if I talked I would regret it.
Mrs. Garrett: Well, the hospital said the police have some questions for you. Will you talk to them?
Jo: Only if something will be done.
Mrs. Garrett: Something will. I promise.
Jo: When can I get out of here?
Mrs. Garrett: Tomorrow. If you feel up to it.

Jo: Well, we went to a Cattilion and he took me back to the 9th green and he...he..
Police: It's OK. Take you're time.
Jo: He ripped off my dress and he..kissed me and I told him to stop. He then raped me. And he told me if I said anything, I would regret it.
Police: I also understand that you're pregnant.
Jo: (paused) Yes.
Police: Is he the father?
Jo: Duh!!!!

*While the cops were talking to Jo, Mrs. Garrett called Blair*

Blair: Hello?
Mrs. Garrett: Blair. It's me.
Blair: Mrs. Garrett!! Why didn't you call??? I was so worried!!!
Mrs. Garrett: I'm sorry hun. I couldn't get to a phone until now.
Blair: How is Jo?
Mrs. Garrett: She will be fine.
Blair: And the baby?
Mrs. Garrett: (shocked) What baby??
Blair: Mrs. Garrett, I'm not stupid. I saw the pregnancy test in the bathroom.
Mrs. Garrett: Oh, please don't tell anyone.
Blair: Why?
Mrs. Garrett: We don't know exactly what we're going to do yet so wait until Jo decides what she wants to do OK?
Blair: Ok. Will you be home tonight?
Mrs. Garrett: No, but me and Jo will be home tomorrow morning if she is up to it.
Blair: Alright. Bye.
Mrs. Garrett: Bye.

*The next morning, Mrs. Garrett took Jo home. It was a Saturday so the girls were also home.*

Blair: Hi Mrs. Garrett. How are you feeling Jo?
Jo: I'm fine. I just need to lie down.
Natalie: Here. You can lay on the couch. I'll get you a blanket.

Natalie: Ok.
Mrs. Garrett: Tootie, could you get Jo a pillow?

Blair: I'm glad they're gone. I need to talk to you.
Jo: What?
Blair: I'm sorry about Harrison.
Jo: Blair..
Blair: No, I am. I also know about the baby.
Jo: Did Mrs. Garrett...
Blair: No. I found the pregnancy test in the trash and it was positive.
Jo: Blair, I'm only 16. What am I going to do? I can't raise a baby.
Blair: We'll all help you.
Jo: You will?
Blair: Of course. What are best friends for?
Jo: Oh Blair.

Here's some more!!!


*Now, we are going to fast foward to next Monday, her first day back to school since her rape. She's talking to Blair on their way to class*

Jo: Why are they all staring at me.
Blair: I don't know.
Kimberly: So???
Jo: What?
Kimberly: Is it true?
Jo: Is what true?
Kimberly: That you're, ya know, pregnant?
Jo: How'd did you find out?
Blair: I think I have an idea who.
Jo: Who??? Mrs. Garrett, you and me are the only ones who did know.
Blair: Unless Tootie was listening.
Jo: SHE'S DEAD!! (starts crying a little)
Blair: C'mon Jo, it's alright. It's no big deal.
Jo: What if everyone knows?? OMG, what if they know about the rape??
Blair: Do you want to call Mrs. Garrett and tell her you want to go home?
Jo: No, if I do I'll just have to face them tomorrow.

Loudspeaker: JOANNA POLNIACZEK PLEASE GO TO THE OFFICE TO SPEAK TO THE HEADMASTER.

Jo: Great. What did I do now??
Blair: I'll see you in class and I will find out how everyone found out about this.
Jo: Whatever.

Mr. Parker: Jo, may I speak to you for a minute.
Jo: Sure.
Mr. Parker: There is a rumor going around the school about you being pregnant. Is it true.
Jo: Well, see..
Mr. Parker: Is it true?
Jo: Yes, but I...
Mr. Parker: We don't need this school being filled with pregnant teenagers. How do you think this makes us look??
Jo: (stayed silent)
Mr. Parker: I will call Mrs. Garrett. She will come and get you and she will take you back to the dorm, you will pack your things and your mother will come and get you.
Jo: (started to cry)

That's all for tonight folks!

AH! AGH! OH! Oy! I...uh...*deep breath* okay...i'm calm, now. You really should post more, though...because I might have one of those fits again, if you don't.

MOREMOREMOREMOREMORE...........NOW!!!!!!!!

Here you go. Enjoy!!!!

*We start off with Mrs. Garrett going into Mr. Parker's office*

Mrs. Garrett: You needed to see me?
Mr. Parker: I'm afraid Jo needs to leave the school.
Mrs. Garrett: What?? Why?
Mr. Parker: I heard rumors that Jo was pregnant and I asked her and she said she was, and the last thing I need is a pregnant girl in my school.
Mrs. Garrett: And did she tell you how she got pregnant?
Mr. Parker: Mrs. Garrett, I think I know HOW she got pregnant.
Mrs. Garrett: (very serious) She was raped Mr. Parker.
Mr. Parker: Oh Gosh. I...I didn't know. I..
Mrs. Garrett: Don't tell me any of this. Tell Jo.
Mr. Parker: What am I going to say to her?
Mrs. Garrett: Figure it out!

*Goes to Jo who was waitng outside the office*

Mr. Parker: Can you come in here for a minute Jo?
Jo: Sure.
Mr. Parker: Mrs. Garrett told me what happend to you. I had no idea. You are allowed to stay in school.
Jo: You think I'm going to let you take pity on me? No way!
Mr. Parker: Jo,
Jo: I said no.
Mrs. Garrett: Please understand. He didn't know.
Jo: Doesn't matter. He was going to kick me out of school.
Mr. Parker: That was before I knew.
Jo: I don't care. I'm outta here! (leaves)

I know that's not a lot but I have to figure out what I'm doing next.

POST MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Jo is in her room packing her things when Mrs. Garrett walks in*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, please listen.
Jo: No. They wanted me to leave. Just because that thing happend to me doesn't make it right for a 'pregnant teenager' to walk around in the school. I've called my mother and we are out of here tonight.
Mrs. Garrett: I'm begging you to just listen to me.
Jo: You've got 2 minutes to explain to me why I shouldn't leave.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, I know that you have been through a lot these past couple of days. I'm sorry I couldn't help. But we need you here. You are a part of our lives now. We love you.
Jo: Mrs. Garrett, I know you love me but I'm not going to put up with this crap.
Mrs. Garrett: Alright, I guess you made up your mind.
Jo: Yes, I have.
Mrs. Garrett: When is she coming for you?
Jo: She will be here in about three hours.
Mrs. Garrett: Well, you can do your last kitchen duty and then you can tell the girls.
Jo: Fine.

*In the kitchen is Jo, Blair, Natalie, and Tootie*
Jo: Guys, I got something to tell you.
Tootie: I do too. Can I go first?
Jo: Sure.
Tootie: I'm the one who said you were pregnant.
Jo: I figured.
Tootie: I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me.
Jo: You're forgiven. Now for my news. I am going to be leaving.
Blair: Let me guess. A motorcycle shop?
Jo: No, home. I have decided to leave Eastland.
Natalie: Why Jo??
Jo: Because Mr. Parker was going to kick me out of school because I was pregnant and then when he found out I was raped, he pretended he didn't even say anything and said I could stay at Eastland. I don't want him taking pity on me. I don't want any pity from anyone.
Tootie: I'm going to miss you Jo.
Jo: I'm goin to miss you too, Tootie.
Tootie: I feel so guilty.
Jo: It would have come out sooner or later. Well, I'm done with kitchen duty so I am going to finish packing.
Blair: Alright. (Jo leaves)
Natalie: We have to talk to Mrs. Garrett.
Blair: Right!
Mrs. Garrett: What's up gang?
Tootie: Can't you make Jo stay?
Mrs. Garrett: I already tried girls. I tried and tried again. There is no changing her mind. (doorbell)
Mrs. Garrett: That must be Jo's mom. (gets the door) Hello Rose.
Rose: Hi Edna. Is Jo ready?
Mrs. Garrett: I'll go see. (goes up to Jo)
Jo: Is my mom here yet?
Mrs. Garrett: She just got here.
Jo: I'm all ready to go.
Mrs. Garrett: Please just...
Jo: Mrs. G, I have made up my mind. I'm sorry but I am trying to do what's best.
Mrs. Garrett: All right then. (they both go downstairs)
Rose: Are you ready?
Jo: Yep. Well...
Natalie: I guess I'll see you around.
Jo: Yes, I guess so.
Blair: It won't be the same. It'll be quieter.
Jo: Well, maybe that's a good thing. Well, goodbye guys. (goes out to the car crying)
Rose: Goodbye everybody.
Tootie: Bye.
Mrs. Garrett: Drive carefully.
Rose: Thanks. Bye. (leaves)

That's all for tonight! Don't worry. This isn't where it ends.

Here's some more!!!!!!

*This is about a week after Jo left Eastland. It is a Saturday afternoon at Jo's apartment. Someone has just knocked at the door*

Mrs. Garrett: Hi Jo. Can I come in?
Jo: Sure. Come in.
Mrs. Garrett: Thanks. So, how are you doing?
Jo: Fine. You?
Mrs. Garrett: Oh, I'm fine. The girls are still a little upset though.
Jo: I'm sorry to hear that.
Mrs. Garrett: Have you started up school again here?
Jo: No, not yet. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about going to Eastland.
Mrs. Garrett: What changed your mind?
Jo: I changed my mind. I just realized that...I mised you all.
Mrs. Garrett: (Smiles) Oh, Jo. I'm so happy.

*Sunday at Eastland, Mrs. Garrett comes back with Jo*

Natalie: Jo, you're back.
Jo: Yes I am. Public school was beginning to get on my nerves.
Blair: Oh, what is she doing here? I was going to start buying my hairspray by the gallon. (laughs)
Jo: Hi Blair.
Blair: Hi Jo. (hug)
Tootie: So, are you back for good?
Jo: Well, not for good. I'll have to leave at sometime or another. But I will be here for a while.
Tootie: That's great. (hugs her)

*Monday morning*

Mrs. Garrett: Come on guys. Time to wake up. Oh, Jo, you have a doctor's appointment after classes.
Jo: I didn't make one.
Mrs. Garrett: No, I did. It's just to see how you are doing that's all.
Jo: Oh, alright.

*The schoolday went fine. Everyone asked her questions about what happend but she didn't say anything. Now we continue to her doctor's appointment.*

Dr. Kelly: Hello. I'm Dr. Kelly. I will be taking care of you througout the rest of your pregnancy and after you give birth.
Jo: Nice to meet you. This is Mrs. Garrett, our nutritionist.
Dr. Kelly: Nice to meet you. How about we do an ultrasound to see how your baby is doing?
Jo: Fine with me.
Dr. Kelly: Ok.

I'm very very sorry but I'm having writer's block. I will be writing A LOT more tomorrow. I promise!!!!!!!

Post more soon!

Sorry I didn't write yesterday. I forgot. Here you go.

Dr. Kelly: Everything looks really good.
Jo: Can you tell the sex yet?
Dr. Kelly: I'm sorry. It's way too early to determine that. I have to be honest with you though, with what you have been through since you got pergnant, you will need to stay in bed throughout the rest of your pregnancy.
Jo: What? That's almost 9 months.
Dr. Kelly: I know it seems like a long time, but it will go by fast. You'll see.
Jo: What about school?
Dr. Kelly: I'm afraid you will have to be homeschooled. It's not a terrible thing. It is only for a little while.
Jo: Alright.
Mrs. Garrett: I'll make sure she does everything she is told.
Dr. Kelly: I'm going to give you some vitamins to take to keep your baby healthy. I know this isn't my place to say but I also think you should see a therapist.
Jo: You're right.
Dr. Kelly: I am?
Jo: Yeah, it isn't your place.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo, watch your manners. I'm sorry Dr.
Dr. Kelly: It's alright. Believe me, I know how hard it is for young people to go to therapy. They think that it is for people who are crazy.
Jo: But it is.
Dr. Kelly: No it isn't. It is for people who need to talk to someone.
Jo: That is what I have Mrs. Garrett for.
Mrs. Garrett: But aren't there some things that you just can't tell me?
Jo: Well, yeah.
Mrs. Garrett: Well that is what a therapist is for.
Jo: Alright alright. I'll go. It seems I am not going to win this argument.
Dr. Kelly: I'll see you back here in 8 weeks to check on you.
Jo: Thanks Dr. Kelly.
Dr. Kelly: Anytime I can help Jo.

(Back at Eastland)

Tootie: Hi Jo. How did the appointmnt go?
Jo: I have to stay in bed the next 8 months.
Blair: How are you going to go to school?
Jo: My work will have to be brought here.
Blair: I'll get your work. I'll help you Jo.
Jo: Thanks Blair. I've never seen you so nice before.
Blair: I'm always nice to you.
Jo: (rolls eyes) Yeah...OK.

I'm still having a little bit of writer's block. What happening to me???? I will write more tonight. I think I have an idea but I have to work it out.

I cant wait to read more!

Here is more!!! I would first off like to get special credit to Kiera (author of Subjects of Silence) She has helped me out a lot with this. Thanks!!!!!!

*While Jo has been homeschooled, she has been getting strange phone calls and has been feeling very wierd, like someone is following her.*

Jo: Mrs. Garret, there is something wierd going on.
Mrs. Garrett: What do you mean?
Jo: Well, what about those wierd phone calls?
Mrs. Garrett: We always got those.
Jo: I know but this one is different.
Mrs. Garrett: You are overreacting. Go on and go to bed. We need to get up early for court.
Jo: I can't wait!!! I hope he fries!!!!
Mrs. Garrett: Now Jo, you know he won't get the death penalty.
Jo: I know but I can dream can't I?
Mrs. Garrett: Very funny!

*Jo and Mrs. Garrett are in court the next day*

Judge: You are charged with rape of a minor. How do you plea?
Harrison: Not guilty.
Jo: (whispers to Mrs. Garrett) How ould he plea not guilty.
Mrs. Garrett: It all depends on what the judge decides.
Laywer: Your honor, my client said that Miss Polniaczek consented to the sexual experience.
Judge: And I also believe that. I find the defendent not guilty.
Jo: WHAT?!
Judge: That will be enough from you young lady. Court is dismissed.

*Jo and Mrs. Garrett returned to Eastland*

Jo: I can't believe this.
Mrs. Garrett: I'm sorry Jo. I really am.
Jo: Me too.

*It is nightime and Jo is in he bed but not asleep so she goes downstairs for a glass of milk when someone covers her mouth.*

Harrison: If you ever tell the police about what happend again, I'll have you dead! DO YOU HEAR ME!!!!!!

I'll end here for the night.

WHAT?! You can't end THERE!!! Good Heavens, what's gonna happen to Jo?!


BTw, I understand the writer's block thing. It's the curse of the FOL fan fiction writers...you can write bunches and bunches until you start posting...then, you start posting and you just...stop.

Well That isn't Exactly My Probelm. I post when I get the parts wrote. I just freeze sometimes and can't wriet or write two liners but I know you guys would rather me keep the two liners to myself and post when I get a little bit more.

OMG! OMG! OMG! YOu gotta most more SOOON ASAP!!!!!!!! Does that cover it?

Here you go.

(continued from last time)

*It is nightime and Jo is in he bed but not asleep so she goes downstairs for a glass of milk when someone covers her mouth.*

Harrison: If you ever tell the police about what happend again, I'll have you dead! DO YOU HEAR ME!!!!!!

*He then punched her in the face and she was knocked unconsious. Tootie was the first one downstairs the next morning.*

Tootie: Jo? MRS. GARRETT!!!!!
Mrs. Garrett: What is it Tootie?
Tootie: It's Jo. Come quick!!
Mrs. Garrett: Oh my gosh. Help me get her upstairs.

*Jo woke up a few hours later in her bed.*

Jo: What happend?
Mrs. Garrett: Well, look at who is awake.
Jo: What happend?
Mrs. Garrett: I should be asking you. You were found this morning on the kitchen floor with a bruise on your face.
Jo: Harrison was here.
Mrs. Garrett: Harrison? What for?
Jo: He said if I went to the cops again he would kill me.
Mrs. Garrett: I'm calling the cops.
Jo: No. I don't want to be killed.
Mrs. Garrett: I know you don't honey but you aren't going to let him get awat with this. Are you?
Jo: That just might be easier.
Mrs. Garrett: NO. I'm calling the cops. We will get protection.
Jo: No we won't. The cops don't reallt protect you. They go to get coffee and donuts.
Mrs. Garrett: I will make sure they don't do that. Okay?
Jo: Fine.

*Mrs. Garrett called the cops and they came to the house.*

Cop: So tell me what happend.
Jo: I went downstairs for a glass of milk and Harrison covered my mouth and said 'If I went to the cops, he would kill me.'
Cops: Do you have proof?
Jo: What?
Cop: Proof. Did anyone see you?
Jo: No, we were alone.
Cop: Well, that makes this harder.
Jo:What do you mean?
Cop: Well, it's your word against his.
Jo: What about this?? (points to her bruise)
Cop: We will look into it but I can't make any promises.
Jo: I don't believe this.
Cop: Sorry.

That's all for tonight.

Please post more soon

This is great.

So THEN what?:lol: Can't wait to find out!

Great story! I hope the police catch up with Harrison. But, please
don't have them use brutality against him when they arrest him-
and if you do, please make sure their department doesn't
condone the excessive use of force by some of their officers.

LOL...That isn't exactly what I was planning on doing, but thanks for the advice! Don't tell anyone this but 'I like police officers too!'
Thanks for the post!!!!!!

Post more soon!

More please!

I'm sorry I haven't replied. School started and I have been really busy. I will continue posting though. I promise!!!!

*After the police leave, Jo and Mrs. Garrett are in the kitchen alone talking*

Mrs. Garrett: I'm sorry honey.
Jo: Looks like he has this all figured out.
Mrs. Garrett: Don't think like that. Maybe he has forgotten all about you.
Jo: I doubt it.
Mrs. Garrett: The police didn't flat out say that they couldn't do anything.
Jo: They won't do anything. Trust me. I come from the Bronx!
Mrs. Garrett: Just hope Jo. Hope and pray.
Jo: It's no use.
Mrs. Garrett: Jo--
Jo: Mrs Garrett, I understand what you are saying. But look at what I'm saying. Cops don't care.

*The phone rings after Jo finishes her sentence. Mrs. Garrett answers it*

Mrs. Garrett: Hello?
Officer Washington: Hello. Is there a Mrs. Enda Garrett there?
Mrs. Garrett: This is Edna. How may I help you?
Officer Washington: My name is Raina Washington and I was assigned to Miss Joanna Polniaczek's case. I have found something interesting.
Mrs. Garrett: You did? What?
Officer Washington: Yes. There have been many charges against him for sexual assult. He has been arrested many times but there has been no real proof which is why he isn't in jail now. But since Joanna is the first girl he has ever gotten pregnant, we have a really good chance this time.

I know it's short but I have to go to bed. I will be posting more tomorrow.

Are you actually bringing in a character from The Division?

Post more soon!

this is great reading! Keep up the great work!

This is really good, Post more soon

Here is more. BTW, there is probably more than one Raina Washington in the world. lol...

Mrs. Garrett: That's wonderful. We were about to lose hope.
Office Washington: I was too but I did a lot of research on this. We'll nail him this time, I promise.
Mrs. Garrett: Thank you so much for calling.
Officer Washington: I'm glad I can help. I'll call you if I find anything else.

*Mrs. Garrett runs up to Jo's room to tell her the good news!*

Mrs. Garrett: Jo, I've got wonderful news!!
Jo: (sarcastically) Yay!
Mrs. Garrett: They found something on Harrison.
Jo: What? How do you know?
Mrs. Garrett: That was the police on the phone.
Jo: AND??
Mrs. Garrett: There were many complaints filed against him. But you apparently were the first girl he had gotten pregnant. They said they will get him this time.
Jo: (smiles) See, didn't I tell you this would work out? (laughs)


*Meanwhile, at Harrison's house, someone just knocked on his front door.*

Officer Washington: Harrison Vanderbuilt?
Butler: Come in. I'll get him.
Harrison: Who are you?
Officer Washington: Harrison Vanderbuilt?
Harrison: Yeah. Now who are you?
Officer Washington: Harrison Vanderbuilt, you are under arrest for
the rape of Joanna Polniaczek. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
Harrison: This is nuts. I didn't do anything to her.
Officer Washington: Yeah Yeah. Tell it to the judge.

*Mrs. Garrett was doing some sewing when the phone rang the next day.*

Mrs. Garrett: Hello, Eastland School.
Officer Washington: Mrs. Garret?
Mrs. Garrett: Yes.
Officer Washington: This is Raina Wasington. I just wanted to let you know that Harrison has been arrested.
Mrs. Garrett: (smiles) Thank you.
Officer Washington: Now, with all of the money that he has, he will probably make bail. Do you want me to get a restraining order for Jo?
Mrs. Garrett: That is a good idea.
Officer: Okay. I'll get started on the paperwork now. I'll call if anything comes up.
Mrs. Garrett: Thank you again.
Officer Washington: I only wish I could've done something sooner.

Mrs. Garrett: GIRLS!!! GIRLS!!
Tootie: What is it Mrs. Garrett?
Natalie: Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
Blair: Natalie. Mrs. Garrett, I didn't do it either.
Jo: Will ya let the woman talk??
Mrs. Garett: Thank you. Jo, that was Officer Washington.
Jo: Yeah?
Mrs. Garrett: They arrested Harrison.

I'll add more a little later. It will be tonight I promise!!

Post more soon!

this is super!

Thanks for all the replies. Here is more:

Tootie: Jo that's great!! He'll probably be in jail forever.
Mrs. Garrett: Well, not exactly.
Natalie: What do you mean?
Mrs. Garrett: With all of the money he has, he will most likely get out on bail.
Blair: What? How can they do that.
Mrs. Garrett: But they are going to get a restraining order. He can't come near you.
Jo: Yes he can. A restraining order won't keep him away.
Mrs. Garett: If he violates it, he goes to jail.
Jo: Then he will get out on bail. Then he will violate it and then get out on bail. Over and over again.
Mrs. Garrett: Why can't you look on the bright side?
Jo: Because I'm wearing sunglasses all the time.
Blair: Mrs. Garrett's right.
Natalie: Yeah. He has probably forgotten all about you.
Jo: (sighs) I hope so.

It is late at night and Jo couldn't sleep. She had a bad feeling. She wanted to call her Mom. She knew that it was late but she had to.

Jo: It's only 12:30AM. She might still be awake.

She reaches into her pocket and gets a dime. Then something was held to her head. It was a gun.

Harrison: Put the phone down and don't make any niose.
Jo: What are you doing here?
Harrison: So, I heard you got pregnant and now you are trying to pass it off as mine.
Jo: It IS yours. You raped me.
Harrison: Well, as I recall from our last conversation, I told you if you talked to anyone about that night, I would kill you. Do you recall that night.
Jo: Get away from me. (kicks him in the gut.)
Harrison: OW! (drops to the ground)
Jo: Mrs. Garrett!! Mrs. Gar--- (loud noise)

Up in the bedroom, Natalie, Blair, and Tootie were woken up by the loud noise.

Natalie: What was that???
Blair: It came from downstairs.
Tootie: Come on. Let's go.

When the girls came downstairs, they were in total shock.

I might write more tonight. It all depends on how late I am up until.

This is last part of my story. I enjoyed writing for all of you. Any comments? IM me at SkaterKelly2003. Enjoy.
****************************************************
Blair: Natalie, call 911.
Natalie: Alright. What's the number?
Tootie: NAT!
Natalie: Oh, it's 911.
Blair: Jo? Jo please wake up.
Mrs. Garrett: What's going on? Why are you guys up?
Blair: Mrs. Garrett, Jo's been shot.
Mrs. Garrett: *tries to find her pulse* She still has a pulse. Jo?
Jo: *moans*
Blair: Jo, you're going to be alright.
Jo: *weakly* It..was...Harrison.
Mrs. Garrett: Help is coming.
Jo: I...enjoyed...living with..you guys. I..love you.
Mrs. Garrett: She doesn't have a pulse!!
Tootie: The paramedics are here.
Blair: She doesn't have a pulse!! Do something!!!
Paramedics: I'm sorry. She's gone.
Blair: *runs up to her room*

*Mrs. Garrett: Stayed with Jo until they took her away. The day of the funeral was hard for everyone. They are now at the cemetary.*

Rose: Edna, I just want to thank you for all you did for her.
Mrs. Garrett: I'd do it again.
Rose: Thank you. *leaves the cemetary.
Mrs. Garrett: You guys ready to leave.
Natalie: *sniffles* yeah.
Tootie: Me too. *starts crying*
Mrs. Garret: Are you coming Blair?
Blair: I'm going to stay here for a little bit longer.
Mrs. Garrett: Okay, we'll be at the car.
Blair: *talking to Jo's grave* Hey Jo. Listen, none of this would have happend if I didn't date Harrison. I'm sorry. *Cries* I never even thought this would happen. I love you. Bye. *walks to the car*

*Blair spent much of the day in her room. That was of course Mrs. Garrett's cue.*

Mrs. Garrett: You okay?
Blair: Just ducky.
Mrs. Garrett: It wasn't your fault. I know you think it is but it isn't. You have to believe that.
Blair: But it is. I brought Harrison into her life. Now he has taken away hers.
Natalie: *comes bursting into the room* Guys, Eastland had a wall in the school dedicated to Jo. Come look.

*They all go over to look at the wall. It was beautiful. It had a big picture of her. But most of all, it had a lot of things she said."

Blair: *remembers back on the first day she showed up*
Mrs. Garrett: Are you okay?
Blair: Yeah, I'm fine.
Tootie: Now Jo will always be here.
Blair: Yes she will. She never leave.

Blair made it through okay but now whenever someone says something cruel to her, she punches him. Just like Jo did.
The End

I love what u wrote!

I think that they just didn't like how you killed off Jo...no big deal, though. They'll get over it. I think you did a great job.

Well, I appreciate all of the people who did like the story. For all the people who didn't like it, I'm sorry you feel that way. But I think when you saw the title 'Jo's Depression' for the first time, you had to have known it was sad. Oh well, I didn't mean to start a controversy.

I didnt have that problem I was just sayin I'd killed Jo before too.

It was great, awesome job!!!!!

Great Story!,Hope You Write More In The Future :) :) :)

Hello all. I just wanted to get everyone's opinion. I am thinking about writing a sequel to this. If anyone wants me too, just leave a post. I promise this sequel will be really good if you guys want me to write it. Thanks!

A sequel, without Jo. Could be interesting.

Ok. Even though only one reply, I am going to try it out anyway. If you guys like or not, just tell me. Here it is.
****************************************************

Ever since the horrible night of Jo's death, every year later, the girls got together on the internet or phone and just talked about everything. But now since it has been 20 years since her death, they all decided to meet at Eastland. They were all going to bring their families. It was going to be a wonderful reunion but they didn't like the reason.

Here is what's going on with Natalie:
Natalie moved to Rhode Island and lived with her husband Charlie Brook and her 2 children Shaina, 4, and Christopher, 9 months. She worked as a Journalist. She was very excited about going to this reunion. She didn't really get to go out much since she had kids so this is her first time getting away from work and her home.

At Tooties house:
Tootie lived in San Francisco. She wasn't married but had 1 daughter Rita. When she was 20, she was engaged to a close friend but when she told her she was pregnant, he didn't want to deal with it so he called off the wedding. She didn't mind though. Her daughter was the best thing that had ever happend to her. She worked as an actress for plays and a few commercials. She was trying to get into movies but that just wasn't working out. She was still very happy.

Blair's house:
She married a man named Tad Warner. It was just a coinsidence that they had the same last name. They were inseparatable. They had 3 children. Joseph, 6, Joanna, 4, and Jaqueline, 1 1/2. She was also 8 months pregnant. They lived in Pennsylvania. She still got a little depressed about Jo. She still feels after all these years that it was her fault. No matter who tells her it wasn't, she still fells it was.

And of course, Mrs. Garrett:
Her new husband had passed away 3 years ago. She moved back to Peekskill after her husband died. Her son, Raymond, and Doris didn't want her to live there by herself at her age so they moved back to Peekskill with her. Raymond and Doris also gave Mrs. Garrett her wish. They had given her 9 grandchildren.
****************************************************
So? Wht do you think?

It's good so far, Keep Going.

yes

"PMS and a gun"

It seems like you all like this. GREAT! I will post more then. Oh, by the way, DarminEx, what did you mean by "PMS and a gun"? Anyway, back to the story.
****************************************************
After all the time waiting, the day finally came when it was time to go to the reunion. Everyone was so excited. The first one to arrive was Blair. When her family got to Eastland, it looked exactly the same. Everything was where it should be. So until everyone else got there, Blair was telling her husband and kids all about her years at Eastland. She showed them everything. Then about 45 minutes later, Tootie came. Blair was so happy to see her. They haven't seen eachother in 9 years.

Blair: You look great. And who is this pretty girl?
Tootie: This is my daughter Rita.
Rita: Hello Mrs. Warner.
Blair: Oh please. Call me Blair. How old are you?
Rita: I am 8 years old.
Tootie: You know Rita, her children are a bit younger then you. You guys could play and get ot know each other.
Blair: Oh yes, of course. Kids, come here. I want you to meet someone.
Joseph: What? We were playing freeze tag.
Blair: This is my son Joseph, my daughter Joanna, and my youngest daughter Jaqueline.
Joanna: Mommy is also having another baby.
Tootie: I can tell. You look beautiful.
Blair: Fat you mean.
Tootie: No I said beautiful.
Blair: Thanks.
Rita: So how old are you guys?
Joseph: I am 6 years old.
Joanna: I am 20 years old.
Blair: Joanna, you know how old you are. You're 4 remember?
Joanna: Well, now I am 20.
Blair: Doesn't she remind you of someone?
Tootie: Exactly.
Rita: And Jaqueline, how old are you?
Jaqueline: *stays silent*
Blair: You have to excuse her. She is only 1 so she isn't quite sure how to answer.
Tootie: I never expected you, of all people, to have had this many kids. You always hated children.
Blair: I have not.
Tootie: Ok, then how come when you were babysitting one time, you put the kid in the closet when he started to cry?
Blair: Alot of people do that.
Tootie: Not when the kids was only 2 years old!
Blair: I told you I had a migrane. *Laughs*

Just then, Natalie came in with her husband and her kids. She had her son in a stroller and Shaina holding her hand.

Natalie: Hello everybody.
Tootie: Nat, I am so happy to see you.
Natalie: Me too. It is soo good to finally see people besides my kids and my husband.
Charlie: I heard that Missy.
Natalie: *Laughs* Everyone this is my husband Charlie.
Blair: Hello Charlie. I am Blair, Natalie's old roomate.
Charlie: Nice to meet you. Natalie has told me all about you.

I know it is short but I will post more later on. Bye!

It was in your last post :) It is very entertaining.

See it?

Post more soon!!!

Ditto!!!!!
