This is a slight sonfic, inspired by Carrie Underwood's Just a Dream. IT might help to listen to the song as you read this or not. This is a sad fic but it might have a happy ending. SO enjoy!


Jo opened her eyes to look at herself in the mirror. If anyone would have told her that she would be getting married to the town delinquent she wouldn't have believed them. No one ever thought that Jo would wear a wedding dress. They all thought she was this tough chick and she would never fall in love. Boy, were they wrong.

The white dress was simple, just the way Jo wanted it. It was strapless and was tight at the top, but once it reached her waist it flowed out to her feet. Covering the entire thing was beads and lace. Alright so it wasn't simple. But Jo wasn't going to argue, she absolutely loved the dress.

Zoe and Alison were her maids of Honor and they were waiting outside of the tent for her. Carter was the best man and Henry was the minister.

This wedding would be the first wedding since the almost wedding of Alison and Stark. In fact it was kind of similar but it also seemed like more people were coming to this one. Maybe because no one believed that Jo was actually getting married. Or they just wanted to go to a social gathering.

Jo smirked to herself when she thought of Fargo. Thank god he had Julia otherwise this would be the worst day of his life.

"Jo, are you almost ready?" Zoe asked from outside the tent.

"Yeah I'm coming," Jo said taking a deep breath. This was it she was getting married.

Jo walked out the tent to see Alison and Zoe smiling at her, and she couldn't help but smile back. She looked out to the alter and didn't see Zane or Carter.

"Where are they?" Jo asked, slightly panicking.

"They are on their way, they just got stuck in traffic," Alison told her. "Calm down, this is your big day." Jo smiled at Alison, but couldn't help but notice that she seemed sad. It must have been bringing back a lot of memories.

A few moments later the Sheriff's Jeep pulled up, instead of Zane's car, and Carter came out. Alone. Now Jo was panicking where the hell was Zane?

"Carter," Jo yelled running over to him, trying not to get her dress dirty. "Where is Zane?"

Carter looked awkwardly towards the ground. And Jo just saw that he had scratches on his face. And his wrist was in a cast.

"What happened?" she asked quietly. "Where's Zane?"

"Jo, maybe I should tell you this inside the tent where you can sit down," Carter told her in a low voice, ignoring a worried look from Alison and an anxious one from Zoe.

Carter led Jo back into the tent, where she sat down in one of the chairs. She could tell that he wasn't in a good mood. And whatever it was he needed to tell her, he didn't want too. All of the sudden it sunk in.

"Carter…" Jo started carefully. "Please tell me…please tell me what happened," she begged.

"Zane was driving and a car cut in front of us and he tired to control the car but we crashed into a tree. We got to a hospital but…" Carter didn't continue, and JO didn't need him too, she already knew the rest of it.

"Carter I…" All of the sudden it felt like she couldn't breathe. This couldn't be happening to her.

"Carter what-" Alison asked, entering the tent. But she stopped when she saw the looks on both of the faces. Jo was close to tears but she refused to let them fall. "Oh Jo." Alison gave Jo a hug, but Jo shrugged her off.

"I'm fine, I'll be okay…" Jo tried to tell them, but her voice gave her away.

"I'll uh, go tell everyone," Alison said quietly leaving the tent. And Jo knew how she must have felt when Carter told her Stark was gone. It was must have been hard to Carter to have to do it twice.

"Jo, if you need anything, I'm here," Carter told her gently. All Jo could do was nod. If she said anything the tears would be out, and she didn't want that to happen.

Jo was supposed to be a strong and independent woman who didn't need anyone, especially a husband. But today Jo wasn't her usual self today. In one quick motion she hid her head in her hands and began to cry. Carter slowly walked over to her and rested a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Moments later Jo was sick of just sitting there crying. Quickly she stood up and ran out of the tent. Everyone outside started at her but she ignored what they were saying. Most of them were probably asking how she was. The answer, horrible everyone should know that.

Jo continued to run. And she knew exactly where. The jail cell in the Sheriff's Office. The place where she first met Zane, and where he proposed. It seemed like it was the only place right now that remind her of him. All she could do was think about him. And what could have been.

Baby why'd you leave me?

Why'd you have to go?

I was counting on forever, now I'll never know

I can't even breathe.

It's like I'm looking from distance, standing in the background

And everyone's saying he's not coming home now

This can't be happening to me

This is Just a dream

Once she reached the Sheriff's Office she went straight to the cell and collapsed on the bed inside. All she wanted was for Zane to come back and hold her.


Okay so I am stopping here. But not finished. This is now going to be a two-shot. I have an idea for a happy ending and a not so happy ending and i am going to type both of them up and post both of them. SO i guess techincally it is a three-shot. But please review and tell me what you think! Also tell me what ending you want to see most! Thanks!
