*Preview for my next fanfic* - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok guys, I know it's been a while for me, but I'm working on a new fanfic that I hope you'll all enjoy. It's going to be long, so it may take a while, but I'll work as fast as I can! Here's a little preview:

Premise: Jo can no longer afford to stay at Eastland. Rather than tell her friends, she decides to avoid the pain of having to say goodbye and runs off back to New York City. Instead of going home, she gives up on any hope of a good life for herself and gets herself into a lot of trouble. It's up to her best friends to get her back.

Excerpt:

Down in the kitchen Mrs. Garrett was pulling some fresh rolls out of the oven. Jo was busy getting the silverware out of the dishwasher. Mrs. Garrett could tell something was wrong with Jo from the minute she came down the stairs. She knew her too well by now not to notice. She also knew her well enough to know that it was difficult to get her to admit there was a problem. But like always, she had to at least let her know she was there if Jo needed her. “Something wrong, Jo?”

“Nah, nothin’. Don’t worry about me.” Jo hated to have to lie. Especially when she knew that this was the last night she would be spending there with Mrs. Garrett. She had been like a mother to her, and she had worked so hard to help Jo along the way. But she couldn’t bear to tell her the truth. Why did money have to be an issue for her? Why couldn’t she be like Blair and not have to worry about things like that? She couldn’t believe what she was thinking. She actually wished she were like Blair. Well, what was wrong with wanting to be like Blair? She was her best friend after all. Never in a million years did she think when she first met her that they’d end up friends. Over the years she’d really grown on her. To the point where she didn’t know how she was going to get along without her. And now Jo was going to have to say goodbye.

“Well, if there’s anything you need to talk about, I’m here.” Mrs. Garrett smiled and went to bring the rolls into the dining room. Jo was going to miss that wonderful woman so much. She never knew anyone who was always so willing to sit down and listen to any problem she had. She was the reason Jo had made it this far at Eastland, and now it was all going to come to an end. Just a few months short of graduation. Jo found herself fighting the urge to cry once again. She couldn’t let them see her upset, not the last time they saw her. She didn’t want to be coming back and visiting them, seeing them all still getting to live together and working together and going on to higher education and fabulous lives. It would be too painful to watch. She was going to have to do her best to disappear, and she knew the best way to do it.
*************************************

Ok, I guess the speed at which I finish it depends on how much response I get here. I'll do my best to finish it asap, but I'm not into rushing through stuff. I've taken too many writing classes at this point in my life

Let me know what you think!
