(Ethan bursts in the room)
E-Sheridan is everything fine?
(Ethan bursts in)
S-Ah Yeah
E-Are you sure?
S-ETHAN!
E-What? You screamed. I got worried.
S-Sorry...
(Sheridan bursts into tears)
E-Sheridan what's wrong? Tell me.
(Sheridan shows Ethan the test)
E-No it can't be true.
S-And I don't even know if it's Luis' or the guy's who wreck my life
E-Sheridan maybe you should do a DNA test after the baby is born? Or before? Or now?
S-I need to do it now. I can't handle not knowing.
E-Okay tomorrow. It's late and you need sleep.
S-I am fine.I don't think I could sleep after all this.
E-Sheridan please do it for me. And I promise I will take you tomorrow to the hospital.
S-Okay.Geez!
E-Sorry!
S-But after that I am leaving harmony.
E-WHAT! YOU CAN'T! SHERIDAN WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
S-I can't stay here.
E-YOU NEED FRIENDS AND FAMILY AROUNG YOU!
S-Please don't yell. I just can't.
E-Sorry!
S-Just until the baby is born.
E-Will it make you happier if you leave harmony?
S-Yes.you understand right?
(Sheridan yawns)
S-I am tired but I don't think I will b able to sleep.
E-Well you will if you have to leave early tomorrow to get out of Harmony and do the DNA test before it.
S-Ok.I guess I should go get the test done early? I don't know which is worse, the baby being the rapist's or Luis'
E-Being the rapist. Sheridan, where would you be going when you leave Harmony?
S-Spain.
E-You must promise one thing to me.
S-What?
E-You got to call me everyday so I know you are safe. Got it?
S-Fine
E-Okay
S-Can we go and take the test now. I really want to know who the father is.
E-No! You need rest. I will make the appointment tomorrow.
S-I am fine really!
E-I won't take no for an answer. So I will ask again. I will make the appointment for tomorrow. Okay?
S-Ok I guess.
(Sheridan sticks her tongue out at Ethan)
E-Good. Go to sleep now!
S-Fine!
(Sheridan and Ethan goes to sleep)(Next morning)
E-Sheridan wakeup! Its morning!
(Ethan takes Sheridan to the hospital after she got ready) (At the hospital)
Eve-Sheridan did you do what I told you to do?
(Sheridan nods her head)
Eve-And.
S-Positive. I need to know who the father is.
Eve-Okay do you want to have the DNA test right now or wait till the baby is born
S-Now! I need to know now.
Eve-Okay. Ethan you stay here and Sheridan you come with me.
E-Okay!
(Ethan takes a seat and Sheridan follows Eve to a room)
S-Okay. I am ready.
(Eve does the DNA test. While Eve does that Sheridan looks very nervous)
Eve-You go and wait with Ethan and I come and tell you the result. Okay?
S-Okay!
(Sheridan goes to Ethan. She paces up and down the corridor)
E-Sheridan calm down, please!
S-I can't!
E-It will be all right!
S-No! It won't. Don't you understand?
(Eve walks towards them)
Eve-Sheridan I got the result.
S-Tell me! Tell me!
Eve-Well I can say that Luis is going to be a father very soon.
S-Oh thank god!
(Sheridan hugs Eve)
E-Wow! Thanks Eve.
S-But don't tell him. Okay, Eve?
Eve-Okay. What are you going to do now?
E-Sheridan don't go please.
S-I have to, Ethan. I am going to miss you Eve.
Eve-What! Are you going somewhere, Sheridan?
S-Yup. Away from harmony for a while
Eve-Sheridan is it safe for you to go?
E-That's what I been telling her but she won't listen.
S-You two don't understand. Now if you don't mind I have to go and say goodbye to Pilar.
Eve-Fine! Don't blame me if something bad happens
S-Nothing will. Trust me. Thanks for all your help eve.
Eve-No problem!
S-Ethan, I think I will walk to Pillar's house if you don't mind.
E-Are you sure?
(Sheridan nods her head)
S-Bye Eve and Ethan. Thanks for your help.
(Sheridan leaves the hospital and walks to Pillar's house. When she gets there she knocks on the door. Rachael opens it up. Sheridan is very shock to see it is Rachael opening the door not Pilar.)
R-Sheridan! Um.how are you?
S-Fine, I guess
R-So what brings you here?
S-I want to talk to Pilar.
L-Honey who is it?
(Luis calls from the lounge room)
Sheridan thinks. I hate it when Luis calls her that. Oh no he is here. What am I going to do?
R-It's Sheridan. Why don't you come in, Sheridan.
(Sheridan walks in and both of them walk to the lounge room)
P-Sheridan, hi. How are you?
S-I am fine.
(Sheridan hugs Pilar)
P-Is something wrong?
S-No. I just wanted to come by and say goodbye.
P/L/R-Goodbye?
S-Yes. I am leaving Harmony to start my life over again. A fresh start.
L-Is it me? Because if it is then I should leave not you.
(Rachael gets really annoyed and gives Sheridan a bad look)
S-No. It isn't you. It's me. Here you can have your ring back. Maybe you would like it, Rachael.
(Sheridan slowly takes the ring off her finger and hands it to Luis)
L-No you can have it.
(Luis pushes Sheridan's hand towards her)
R-Honey, I think when she said a fresh start she meant that no bad memories.
Sheridan thinks-Why did she have to say that? Isn't our friendship more important?
(Luis shrugs) (Luis takes the ring from Sheridan and gives it to Rachael)
(Rachael takes it and puts it on her finger)
S-Well off I go.
P-Sheridan before you go, can I talk to you alone?
S-Sure, if you want.
(Pilar takes Sheridan to Theresa's room)
P-Sheridan, are you sure things are all right?
S-Yes it is, Pilar. I am going to miss you heaps and heaps. More than anyone. You have being more than a friend to me. You have been my mother in a way. Thank you, Pilar. You don't know how much I will miss you.
(Tears starts to flow down Sheridan's face)
P-Sheridan, I will miss you but you need to stay here in Harmony.
S-I can't. I just can't
P-Why? What happened?
S-Nothing really. Nothing at all.
P-Sheridan I know when you are lying. And right now you are lying.
S-If I tell you, you got to promise me that you won't tell anyone especially Luis.
P-First tell me then I will decide what I will be doing or not.
S-Well on Thursday I went to see Luis but he wasn't there. I walked home, as I didn't have my car. But on the way.I.I got raped. And yesterday I found out that I was pregnant. But then I didn't know if it was the rapist's or Luis's as Luis and I spend a night together on Wednesday.
P-WHAT! OH NO! Sheridan, are you all right?
S-I been better but leaving Harmony is the best solution I can think about right now.
P-So is it Luis's baby or not?
S-It's Luis's. But I am not sure if I should be glad or sad.
P-Glad, of course. Sheridan you got to tell Luis. He has the right to know that the baby in your tummy is his as well.
S-You can't. It will wreck his life.
P-I don't care if it does he still has the right. Rachael too as a matter of fact.
S-Pilar please I beg you not to tell. For the sake of this baby.
(She touches her stomach with both hands)
P-Are you sure this is the best solution to the problem?
S-Right now, yes!
P-Okay, I won't tell.
S-I got to go and start to pack my things. I will miss you deeply.
P-Me too, Sheridan.
(Sheridan and Pilar walk back out to the lounge room)
S-Well I am going now. I will see you around if I come back to Harmony.
L-Well, bye Sheridan. Have a nice time wherever you are going.
R-Yes! Have a nice time! Bye.
P-Bye Sheridan.
(Pilar hugs Sheridan tightly) (They let go and Sheridan walks out of the house and goes to the mansion where Ethan is) (Ethan helps Sheridan to pack her things. After they finished packing, Ethan drives Sheridan to the airport. Sheridan says goodbye to Ethan and hugs him before getting onto the plane. In the plane she takes a seat and thinks about all her favourite moments in Harmony. Most of them were of course Luis' and hers. As she remembers the memory tears starts to flow down her cheek)
