A part of me wanted Jack and Tasha to get together... but anyway... I might turn Jack into a crazy phsyco stalker who wants to kill everyone in the Bay, I haven't had one of those in a few chapters.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Here's another update!

ON THE BEACH

Sally and Peter are walking on the beach, hand in hand.

PETER:

How could it take us so long to get together?

SALLY:

Maybe we just weren't ready yet. And now we are.

PETER:

I love you, Sally Fletcher.

He pulls her closer and kisses her. Just as their lips meet her cell phone rings.

PETER:

Oh, ignore it.

SALLY:

It's the hospital... It could be important...

Answers the phone

Sally Fletcher... Oh, hey, Rachel. He's what? Me? Yeah, I'm on my way...

PETER:

Now what?

SALLY:

That was Rachel. Jack is chasing everybody out of his room, he doesn't want to take his medicine...

PETER:

Well there's nothing you can do about it?

SALLY:

Rachel said he asked to see me.

Peter rolls his eyes.

PETER:

Sal, this is ridiculous!

SALLY:

He needs me now, Peter.

She quickly kisses him before making her way to the hospital. Peter frowns and sits down on a large rock.

FLETCHER HOUSE

Rocco and Cassie are sitting on the couch, watching TV. Well, Cassie is watching TV while Rocco is watching her. (She's watching Figure Skating.)

CASSIE:

Wow... that's amazing...

ROCCO:

Looking at Cassie.

You can say that again.

Cassie looks at Rocco and laughs.

CASSIE:

I meant the show.

ROCCO:

I meant you.

CASSIE:

Wow, you sound love sick...

ROCCO:

Maybe I am.

They kiss. Cassie pulls away.

CASSIE:

Rocco...

ROCCO:

Yeah?

CASSIE:

Do you... want to go up to my room?

ROCCO:

Are you sure? I mean, of course! Yes. Yeah.

She laughs and takes his hand. They walk up to her room...

IRENE'S HOUSE.

Tasha and Matilda are sitting in the living room, looking through albums.

TASHA:

He's feeling awful, I can see it. But he won't let anyone get close to him. I don't know what to do.

MATILDA:

I can't believe Rob is dying. Why him?

TASHA:

I keep asking myself that. Robbie feels like he's worthless for dying, I feel like I'm terrible for letting him die and not trying to do anything... It's just so crazy.

MATILDA:

I wish there was something we could do... To make it easier for him.

TASHA:

So do I.

They hug.

ON THE BEACH

Robbie is walking with Ella in his arms. He sees Peter and sits down next to him.

ROBBIE:

You look blue.

PETER:

Hey Robbie.

ROBBIE:

What's up?

PETER:

The sky. Out walking with your daughter I see.

ROBBIE:

Yeah, isn't she gorgeous?

PETER:

She is...

Robbie hands Ella to Peter and he holds her.

ROBBIE:

So what's bothering you?

PETER:

Oh, it's just... Sally. Well, not Sally, but...

ROBBIE:

Trouble in paradise?

PETER:

Something like that. Why does she have to be so good, you know? Why does she have to help everyone? Can't she just take a little time off for herself?

ROBBIE:

Woah, what's this about?

PETER:

It's nothing... How are you doing?

ROBBIE:

Alive. For the time being.

PETER:

Yeah, I heard about that... Look, I'm sorry, mate...

ROBBIE:

Oh, it's okay! Look, I have to go. But... talk to Sally. Don't let this come between you. Time is precious.

IN THE HOSPITAL.

Rachel and a few nurses are standing in front of Jack's room.

Sally arrives.

RACHEL:

Sally! Thank goodness you're here!

SALLY:

Anytime... what happened?

RACHEL:

He was fine this morning... but he still didn't want to see anyone... Then when we came back to bring him lunch, he was... different.

SALLY:

Well was anyone here?

RACHEL:

No!

SALLY:

I'll try and talk to him...

She slowly walks in.

JACK:

Without looking at the door.

Go away!

SALLY:

Jack?

JACK:

Sits up.

Sal! It's you! Sorry I thought it was the doctors again, they keep coming in here... I hate the way they get all sympathetic and they don't want to talk about Lara at all. I want to know, Sal! I want to know whether she had a lot of pain, or whether she died quickly...

SALLY:

Jack, I understand... but what is that going to help? If they tell you she was in pain, will it make this easier to deal with?

He grabs her hand and pulls her closer.

JACK:

I had a dream about her, Sally! It felt so real... but when I woke up she was gone!

He squeezes Sally's hand, holding back tears.

JACK:

Sal...

He pulls her onto the bed and holds onto her, sobbing hysterically. Sally hugs him back, looking sad for him.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Here's the next part!

IN HOSPITAL

Sally is sitting on the hospital bed. Jack is still holding her hand. They are playing on Game Boys against each other.

JACK:

I win!

SALLY:

No way, you cheated!

JACK:

I did not, I won fair and square!

SALLY:

Well hold on because I'm going to kick your butt now!

JACK:

You think?

SALLY:

Oh, I know!

They look at each other and laugh. Then Sally looks down uncomfortably. Jack still looks at her.

JACK:

Oh, I love your laugh.

SALLY:

Jack...

JACK:

Thank you for helping me get through this Sal. It means so much to me.

SALLY:

Anytime.

They hug. Jack closes his eyes and smiles. Sally's cell phone rings.

SALLY:

Sorry!

Answers the phone.

Hey, Peter, I'm sorry... What? Sure, I'm on my way...

She puts down the phone and looks at Jack.

SALLY:

Jack, I have to go... there's something going on at home... Will you be okay now?

JACK:

Yeah... but you'll come again tomorrow?

SALLY:

Sure.

JACK:

Promise?

SALLY:

I promise.

She lets go of Jack's hand and leaves. Jack watches the door after she's left. He doesn't see Rachel standing in the door with a frown.

FLETCHER HOUSE

Sally enters. Mattie, Ric, Robbie, Tasha, Rocco, Cassie and Peter are sitting in the living room. Files are spread on the ground. When Sally comes in, Mattie jumps up.

MATILDA:

Sal, finally! Look, my dress arrived!

She holds up a dress and Cassie claps her hand over Ric's eyes.

CASSIE:

Mattie, the groom can't see the dress!

RIC:

Shut up, Cassie!

SALLY;

But Mattie... is it going to fit in a few months time?

RIC:

Yeah, we meant to tell you...

SALLY:

Tell me what?

RIC:

We've sort of decided to move the wedding...

SALLY:

What? To when?

RIC:

This weekend.

SALLY:

What? There's still so much to plan, how...

RIC:

Well, grandpa helped organizing some stuff.. and yeah. It's all set.

PETER:

Yeah, we would have told you sooner. But you've been so busy with Jack.

SALLY:

I see. Well... okay.

Everyone goes back to the files. Sally stands in at the door, looking like an outsider in her own house.

FLETCHER HOUSE - LATER

Sally is sitting in the living room, alone, drinking hot chocolate. Martha comes in. She sees Sally and glares at her.

MARTHA:

Oh. It's you.

SALLY:

Is something wrong?

MARTHA:

No.

SALLY:

Martha...

MARTHA:

I'm not in the mood for a pep talk. Especially not from you. Just leave me alone.

Martha rushes up to her room. Sally frowns. Peter comes downstairs.

PETER:

Hey.

SALLY:

Hey.

PETER:

Sally, are you coming to bed?

SALLY:

Yeah, sure. I'll be right there.

PETER:

Okay. I'll be the blonde guy waiting in your bed. Your boyfriend, remember?

He leaves. Sally frowns again, looking utterly confused.
