"I don't understand how she could have gotten that dosage." Estella said to doctor Corvet.
"Well I don't understand how you don't know that she got the wrong dosage since she was your patience." Dr. Corvet said to her.
"I never gave her that dosage. I wasn't even over in the psych ward when that dosage was given out." Estella said to her.
"Well if you didn't give her that dosage than who did?" Dr. Corvet asked.
"I don't know." Estella replied.
"Dr. Corvet, the Burkehart girl has flat lined again." Julia said.
Dr. Corvet ran into her room and went to work on reviving her. This night had gone wrong from the beginning he had a nurse who said that she didn't give Ms. Burkehart that high dosage of Keflex. If Estella had read her chart she would have seen that Jackie had a strong allergic reaction to Keflex. Jackie had been fighting for her life all night and all morning.
"Dr. Corvet, I have a proposition for you." Kitty said to the doctor.
"What's is it?" Dr. said to him.
"Well first of all do you think she'll make it?" Kitty asked him.
"Well after her latest catastrophe I think we'll have to wait and see about it." Dr.Corvet told her
"Well I need to know as soon as possible." Kitty said.
"Well what is your proposition Kitty?" Dr. Corvet asked.
"Well I can't tell you right here." Kitty replied.
"Okay, let's go into my office. We can talk there." Dr. Corvet said.
"Man I'm so glad that Hyde is still asleep. If she dies then he is going to be so heartbroken." Eric said to Donna.
"Yeah I know. Where did your mom go?" Donna asked him.
"I don't know she said that she had to handle something that was a matter of life or death." Eric said to her.
"What do you mean? Does it have anything to do with Jackie?" Donna asked him.
"No she said it has to do with another patient." Eric said to her.
Donna didn't believe a word that Eric was saying. That excuse that Kitty gave him was a load of crap to her. Mrs. Foreman was planning something big she knew it. Eric called Donna into Hyde's room. He had finally woken up and was asking for Jackie. Donna and Eric were going to tell him that she was in a serious battle for her life when Mrs. Foreman came into the room and called Donna and Eric out. She was totally upset and was crying hysterically. Donna looked at her face and fear took over her body.
"Mom what's wrong? Is Jackie going to be okay?" Eric asked her.
"No I'm afraid not. Jackie passed away in her sleep an hour ago. I just found out." Kitty cried.
"Mrs. Foreman you're mistaken it had to be someone else. Jackie's too young to be dead. No Mrs. Foreman you're lying." Donna cried.
Donna knew that she wasn't lying though. She looked at her face and knew. The girl who had spent most of her life calling her a moose and a lumberjack had quietly passed away in her sleep.
"Um... mom what happened? Why did she have to die?" Eric said as tears came trickling down his face.
"The nurse on duty gave Jackie a high dosage of Keflex. She was allergic. I guess Jackie sensed that something was wrong so she went right into Steven's room. The doctor is surprised that she made it that far down the hall." Kitty cried.
"Well there is no other choice we have to tell Hyde the truth." Donna said to Kitty.
"No Donna we're not going to do that until he gets better." Kitty said.
"Mrs. Foreman you can't be serious he has to know the truth and he has to know tonight. It's not fair to make him think that she's okay. Mrs. Foreman you're not thinking. You're in shock from Jackie's passing. He has to know tonight. Do you know what it will do to him if he finds out months later? If finds out now he'll be able to have a chance of recovering and moving on." Donna said to Kitty through tears.
"Donna the doctor doesn't expect him to make a full recovery at all." Kitty said with seriousness.
"What do you mean at all?" Donna asked in horror.
"I mean that he will give up the will to live. Why do you think that he's on such large dosages of medicine? He lost a lot of blood and there's some eternal damage done to his tissue. Donna imagine what it'll do to him if he finds out that Jackie's dead." Kitty said to him.
"Imagine what'll it'll do if he finds out weeks even months from now that his family and his friends lied to him." Donna angrily said to Kitty.
"Donna if you say anything to him, I'll personally disown you." Kitty said in a harsh voice.
"Mrs. Foreman you can't be serious." Donna said in an astonished voice.
"I'm am more serious than I have ever been in my life. I know that Stephen has every right to know. It's just that now is not the time. I want him to recover and regain his full strength. Don't even think about saying a word to him." Kitty said to her.
"Hey mom, Hyde's calling for you." Eric said to his mother.
"I'll be right in." She said to him and then gave Donna one finally glance.
"Hey I went in to check on Hyde. What we're you talking about? Whatever it was it looked pretty intense." Eric said to her.
"Eric I don't ever have anything to do with you mother again. Do you know what she's doing right now? She's telling Hyde that Jackie is alright. That's she's going to get help. She's going to tell him that once he's better, he can see her; when we all know that it's outlandish lie. The only thing that he's going to be able to do, is put flowers on her grave. While he lies in his bed thinking she's alright and safe, we'll be sitting at her wake. While he lies there thinking that they will have a future together, we'll be saying our last goodbyes and burying our dear friend. It's not fair to her and it's not fair to him. It's not fair Eric. It's just not fair. She might have been a snobby cheerleader , but she never deserved this. She didn't deserve to be hit by a car; she didn't deserve to be kidnapped by a mad women and then waste three years of her life as a prisoner in a cellar; and what did she waste it for? Did she get the happiness that she so deserved? No Eric, she got nothing. She got nothing. She survived for three years without her friends and the only thing that we're going to do for her is throw her in the ground and then walk away like it were some bad dream. We'll go on with our lives; while she decays in the ground. She's missed out Eric. Unlike us, she didn't get to finish school, go to college, get a decent job, or marry. Now she doesn't get a happily ever after; but guess what we do. It's not fair Eric." Donna cried.
"Donna I don't know what to say. I'll talk to my mother before she doesn't anything stupid." Eric said to her.
It was too late. Kitty had already told him that everything was fine. She sat there and told him that Jackie was finally at peace and getting the help and love that she had deserved. Hyde smiled and said that he couldn't wait to see her and she smiled at him. She told him that it wouldn't be long before he would see her again. Hyde thanked her and then closed his eyes.
The night had been long for everyone. When they got back to the Foreman's Kitty broke the news to everyone. They all broke out and started to cry. Donna ran over to her house and packed her stuff. She called the airliner and asked for two tickets back to NY. She told Eric that she would see him back there. She wanted nothing to do with his mother.
Hyde laid in his room happy. He was so estatic that Jackie was alright. He was excited that Jackie was going to make a full recovery. He knew that she wasn't going to die. He couldn't wait to make a full recovery; soon they would finally be able to start over. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The door to his room opened and young women came in. She closed the door behind her and walked up to his hospital bed. She leaned over him and kissed him on top of his forehead. Hyde opened his eyes once he felt the icy cold kiss on the top of his forehead; it was Jackie.
"Well I don't understand how you don't know that she got the wrong dosage since she was your patience." Dr. Corvet said to her.
"I never gave her that dosage. I wasn't even over in the psych ward when that dosage was given out." Estella said to her.
