A/N: Just had to add this next chapter right away! Please remember to r/r
both!! Thanks!! BTW, I got this idea from an episode of Fraiser.
Spinelli looked around the room, unsure of where she was and how she had gotten there. She was supposed to be meeting TJ to see a movie. So why was she in this dark room, wearing a white glittery gown? She didn't even own anything of the kind, so she had no idea how she ended up wearing it. Spinelli peered across the room, noticing a bright white light. She started to walk toward it, when a red haired figure in white stopped her.
"No, Spinelli," the oddly familiar voice called. "Its not time for you to go yet. You belong on Earth." Spinelli looked up and screamed when she realized who was talking to her.
"Randal?" she asked, confused and frightened at the same time. "But, but you died back in ninth grade, in that car wreck. The guy was driving drunk and..."
Spinelli remembered that day well. She and TJ had just gotten home from a football game, when TJ's mother told them that Randal was in a car accident that was caused by a drunk driver. Randal had been killed instantly, causing the town to take action to keep his memory alive and prevent other tragedies like his. His father even arranged for the new hospital to be named after Randal. "But if he was dead," Spinelli thought, then why was she talking to him?"
Randal seemed to have read her mind because he answered "Spinelli, you are in the hospital right now after being shot. You have been in a coma for two months and your body cannot decide whether or not to go on. I am here to show you why you need to keep living." Randal took her hand and led her to a door with her name on it. Once there she saw scenes from what she assumed was supposed to be her future:
Her senior prom, TJ by her side, presenting her with a corsage and posing for pictures
Their graduation, where she was elected class speaker, encouraging her class to reach for their dreams.
A night in New York City, where she was on top of the Empire State Building with TJ. He was down on one knee, apparently asking for her hand in marriage.
A scene with her in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle, where TJ was waiting for her.
Her passing her bar exam, and being elected the county DA.
Finally, a scene of her in a hospital bed, holding a newborn baby, with TJ standing next to her, beaming with happiness and pride.
"You see, Spinelli, this is why you need to live. You belong with TJ, and this is your destiny. You might feel like giving up right now, but your destiny is to live the life I just showed you." He led her to the other side of the room, where she saw TJ waiting by her bed, looking as if he had been crying. "For the past two months, he has been there waiting for you to wake up. He loves you so much Spinelli. You need to live, you need to go back to him." He took her arm once more and led her to the front of the room, where she had entered. "Now go make me proud, Spinelli."
Randal disappeared, and Spinelli was left at a crossroads. Was she really supposed to live? Or was she supposed to give up? She was so tired of being in pain, of not recovering from her injuries. She started walking to the light again, and once again got a glimpse of TJ's tearstained face. "I love you Spinelli," she heard him whisper. "You need to live, because I love you."
That was all it took. Spinelli turned around and walked toward the other side of the room she was in, whispering "I love you too Teej. I love you too."
A/N; So is this it? Is Spinelli going to live? Will the two finally confess their love to each other? Will King Bob be caught? Find out next time in One Last Chance! R/R, but if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
