NO ONES PV:

Ben:.......
Laura: tell me now Ben because if u don't I'll fucking kill someone.
Ben: he's back in surgery. 
Laura: (tears up) what why? I'm coming to the hospital. (Hangs up)
Carley: what's wrong?
Laura: Jakes back in surgery 
Elliot: why?
Laura: idk but I'm going to find out. 
Carley: will come with u. 
Laura: okay well I'm leaving now let's go. 
                          
(10 minutes later at the hospital in the lobby........)
                          
Laura: Ben what the fuck happened
Ben: idk one minute I'm sitting there watching tv then the next minute he's being rushed to the O.R.
Laura: shit Ben do u know why?
Ben: they haven't said. 
Laura: when did it happen?
Ben: about 3 hours. 
Laura: and u just now decide to call me asshole. He could have died u fucking douchbag. 
Ben: yeah well I didn't want you to come in here drunk causing a scene like u are now. So I decided to hold out and when they didn't show up then I decided to call u. 
Laura: I'm not causing a scene and that's not your decision you fucker. So what if I was drinking away my sorrows and wallowing in self pity. I still had my phone and the reason was for this. In case anything happened u dipshit. 
Ben: wow Laur your really showing your true colors you know that. 
Laura: fuck u 
Ben: no it's all about Laura. Jake could die and your off getting drunk. It doesn't shock me though.
Laura: speaking of showing true colors. Look at u Ben. You wanted to pull the plug on your best friend without even giving him a fighting chance. I mean who the fuck does that? I've done some fucked up shit but I would never do that to my best friend. 
Ben: really Laur stop thinking of yourself for a minute and think of Jake. Would u want to suffer like he is. Not be able to eat or breath on you own. I mean what if he's never able to play hockey again that would kill him. What if u weren't able to play again ha I'm pretty sure u would kill yourself. Because nothing means more to u than some fucking hockey trophy. 
Laura: you know that's bullshit Jake means more to me than some fucking trophy. And your right I am selfish but that's only because Jakes the closest thing I have left to happiness. Without him I'm nothing. I have no one. I don't have a family u know that. 
Ben: who's fault is that
Laura: My moms dying my brothers a drug addict and alcoholic. My dad died. So u see Ben he's all I have. Without him I probably would kill myself. 
Carley: (crying)
Elliot: (whispers to Carley) I feel so bad for her
Carley: (tears in her eyes) me too. She doesn't deserve everything she's gone through. 
Elliot: I know
Ben: look Laur u know none of that's true. 
Laura: yes it is and if I did kill myself no one would miss me. The great Laura Marano how pathetic am I. Fuck that. I need to see Jakes doctor before I lose it. 
Ben: Laur if u died people would miss u. I would miss u the team would miss u. I even think coach would miss u. 
Laura: (scoffs) that prick he wouldn't miss me and neither would u. 
Ben: Laur u have to live because if u killed yourself Jake would be so disappointed. 
Laura: fuck u. Don't say that shit to me. You have no idea what I've gone through. 
Doc: Gilinsky 
Laura: (runs to him) what the fuck happened to him? Is he okay?
Doc: he's stable but he coded three times on the table. Which isn't good. 
Laura: I know that's not good. 
Ben: is he still in a coma?
Doc: yes he is and it looks like he will be for a while. 
Laura: what the fuck happened why was he in surgery again?
Doc: from the impact of the knee to his stomach it made his appendix rupture and the fluid leaked all through his stomach causing him to have a seizure. 
Laura: (tears up) oh my god. 
Doc: he's going to be fine. We got it in time and got all the fluid out and the surgery only took 5 hours. 
Laura: is he though is he going to be okay.
Ben: Laur 
Laura: no Ben I need some air leave me alone. 
Ben: well I'm going to see him so if u need me that's where I'll be. 
Laura: yeah whatever. I'll be there in a minute. 
                          
(Outside with Laura.........)
                          
LAURAS PV:
                          
I can't do this. He's going to die and I'm not going to make it. It's going to kill me. And if he dies then I have no one. He was my only shot at happiness. Without him I'm a no one. He makes me want to be a better person and not an asshole all the time. (Tears up) He makes me want to get married. He makes me even one day want to have kids. But I want those things with him and no one else. He was suppose to be my forever. I don't get a happy ending though. When my dad died I knew I would never get a happy ending. 
                          
Sometimes I think this world be better off without me. I'm useless here I'm not going to save the world. I'm amazing at hockey and smart that's it. I'm not going to be the first women's president or put an end to war. No that's not me. I'm not meant to be here. I need to save Ben and the team from me. Jakes gone I'm broken. I'm no one. It took Ben being in a coma for me to finally admit that to myself. (Sees a semi) Laura this is your destiny all u have to do is jump. Then you'll be free. 
                          
????: (sees semi and Laura) Laura don't do it. 
Laura: it's already done tell Jake I love him. (Jumps in front of a semi)
                          
WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WILL LAURA DIE? WHO CALLES HER NAME? WILL JAKE WAKE UP?
