I loved the movie "Grease" and Jan is my favorite character of all time in that movie. I also just played her in our school's production which was fun!
The gang sat in the booth at Frosty Palace that evening, telling funny and embarrassing stories. Once in the while they would crack up and fall on the floor.
Kenickie and Rizzo sat on one side of the booth in their own little world while smoking cigarettes. They finally made up at the graduation carnival after she tells him she's not pregnant. Sonny and Marty were on the other side laughing at one point. Well, only Sonny because Marty looks in a little hand mirror making sure she won't get pimples or anything. Doody and Frenchy were in the middle of the booth laughing so hard at those funny stories. When Doody told his, the gang laughed so hard they fell on the floor. Danny and Sandy were dancing to the music from the jukebox by the booth. Roger and Jan sat in a booth next the other eating a huge bowl of banana split ice cream and cherry soda.
But something wasn't right.
Jan was sitting there with a frown. She feels sick to her stomach and she put her head down on the table while poking her ice cream with a spoon. Normally she devours all of the ice cream in just 3 minutes. But she feels like she can't eat anymore.
"Hey! What's with the long face Jan?" Roger asked and Jan answered, "I don't feel like eating right now. I feel full."
As she said that, Marty overheard and then said, "But Jan. You were never full. And I thought you were going to fork down all the ice cream by now!"
"I know. I know," Jan shouts at her and then calms down, "I guess I ate so much, and I'm getting tired."
Frenchy offers, "Do you want me to take you home Jan?"
"You would do that French?" Jan asked.
"Of course!" Frenchy got up to take her things and as Jan got up, her stomach begins to hurt her really bad. She rubs her stomach with her hand and and says to the gang, "I'm sorry gang. But I have to go."
"Where do you think you're going?" Rizzo asked as if Jan's chickening out of the hang out.
"Home," Jan said tiredly and walks out of the diner.
Frenchy follows, "I'll be back in a few minutes."
As soon as Frenchy unlocked her car door, Jan sits in the passenger's seat while Frenchy sits in the driver's seat.
"My stomach is killing me. And I'm so tired," Jan says rather exhaustedly. "I can't wait to go home and crash."
"Are you going to- you know- blah?"
"No. It's not that. Not like that. Just hurts." Jan leaned back in the passenger's seat folding her hands on top of her stomach.
"Why don't you try and sleep for a bit?" Frenchy suggested, "It can take your mind of things and will make you feel better."
Jan sighs and closes her eyes. "Ok. Wake me when we get there."
Frenchy turned her car key in and begins to drive. On the way, she can hear gentle snores coming from her friend. She smiles and continues to drive.
As soon as she enters Jan's driveway to her house, something went wrong. The snoring has stopped, and Jan wasn't stirring or tossing over in a car seat.
Frenchy shakes her shoulder to wake her up. "Jan? Wake up. We're home. Jan? Can you hear me?" To no avail. She started to get worried. She checked her pulse, and felt it beating very slowly, which made Frenchy panic. She immediately backed up out of the driveway and drove to the other side of town to the hospital.
