Deeper than a cut
Alternative ending
Jeanette was just leaving school when she was pulled away from the exit door by her hair and slammed up against a locker for the millionth time in three months, "so you think it's funny to get that fat slag you call a sister to threaten me"? Jillian asked "well now your go-" Jillian could not even finish her sentence as Jeanette landed a right hook straight to Jillian's jaw "DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY SISTER LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU EVIL BITCH" Jeanette screamed, this outburst from Jeanette led to an half an hour assault which saw Jeanette punched, kicked, bitten and scratched on every available part of her body. Back at home Jeanette had just finished writing up her notes for Simon, Brittany and Eleanor, Dave, Alvin and Theodore and Ms Miller, she tightened the noose around her neck and was about to step off of the chair when she felt something pushing against her abdomen, it was a minute before she realized it was her baby kicking "oh my god, what am I doing"? Jeanette cried as she undid the noose, stepped down and took down the rope "I have been such a fool, can you ever forgive me"? she sobbed to her unborn baby as she ripped up the five notes she had just written.
Jeanette was on the phone to Eleanor apologizing for the way she had been over the past few months when all of a sudden she let out an agonizing scream "Jeanette are you ok, what happened"? asked an alarmed Eleanor "Eleanor, get everybody to meet me up at the hospital" Jeanette moaned "yeah sure, do you want me to come home to you"? Eleanor enquired "no, no I'll get an ambulance…I'll see you there" Jeanette gasped as she had another contraction. "Hi we're looking for Jeanette Miller" Eleanor told a nurse when they arrived at the hospital "yes, of course, this way please" the nurse replied, leading them down the corridor to the last room on the left hand side, once inside they saw a tired-looking Jeanette holding a beautiful baby girl in her arms.
After getting congratulated by everybody she turned to look at them all, "guys can I have a private word with Eleanor please"? Jeanette asked "sure, we'll just be outside if you need us for anything" Brittany said as she, Alvin, Theodore and Simon left the room, leaving Jeanette, her daughter and Eleanor alone in the delivery room, "so do you know what you are going to name her"? Eleanor asked "yes I do know…and I just wanted to let you know why I have chosen the name I have…her name is Ellie…and I am naming her after a true hero of mine…somebody who I truly look up to…somebody who has been there for me since the beginning through all of my darkest days…and I will always be thankful for that…I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for me not just these last few months but all throughout our lives…I wouldn't be half the person I am today without you and I will never forget it…I love you Eleanor" Jeanette told her baby sister as Eleanor started to well up with tears "Jeanie…I was only doing my job as a sister…you would have done the same for me…and as for naming your daughter Ellie….I dunno what to say…and I love you to and will always love you" Eleanor sobbed as she started to let the tears fall, after a little heart to heart with Jeanette, Eleanor popped out to bring everybody back inside "hello everybody I think a few introductions are in order…I would like all of you to meet baby Ellie…mine and Simon's daughter" Jeanette said, when everybody was finished cooing over the beautiful baby girl, Simon came in close to Jeanette, pulled out the engagement and whispered in her ear "Jeanette Miller, will you marry me"? "oh Simon of course I will" Jeanette replied "I am the happiest man in the world" he cried, kissing Jeanette and Ellie "and I am the happiest girl alive" Jeanette replied miming Simon's actions by kissing him and baby Ellie.
