Jackie was on her way home to pack for her trip to Erie. When she got there Ron was waiting for her, and he didn't look to happy.

Jackie walked right passed him. When she got upstairs to the room that she, and Ron share she started to pack.

Ron ran into the room threw her suitcase on the floor, grabbed Jackie, threw her on the bed, and then he started to beat her.

Jackie let out a scream. Jeff was driving past when he heard the scream he ran inside Jackie's house, ran upstairs, and when he saw what was going on he ran up to the bed grabbed Ron by the shirt, and threw up against the wall.

Then he picked up Jackie's suitcase, and put the rest of her cloths in it.

Hayden came out of the room with her cloths packed as well, she wasn't going to stay with her abusive father. The three of them left.

On their way past Rittenhouse Jeff decided to stop, and have someone takea look at Jackie.

When Jeff took Jackie into Rittenhouse Amy rushed up to them.

Amy"What happened to Jackie?" Jackie: "Ron beat me up, thank god for Jeff." Andy saw Jackie's poor face then she rushed in the office that Jackie, and Amy shared.

Andy"You poor thing." Andy"Jeff thank you for saving Jackie." Jeff"Your welcome, I love her, I would never hurt her never."

Just at moment Jackie heard a scream it was Lu. Jackie hopped off the table, and ran into the RWHC.

When she got there Ron had Lu in his arms with a gun to her head. Jackie"Ron, what the hell do you think you are doing let Lu go."

Ron"I will if you, and Hayden come home with me."

Jackie"We can't you, you beating me up was the last straw."

Ron"Then you will have to suffer without Lu." Ron went to pull the trigger but Jackie pushed Lu out of the way, and took a bullet for Lu. Hayden"MUM!!!

Hayden ran up to her mum, and saw the blood pouring out of the wound.

Hayden began to cry. Jeff ran to up Jackie's side, and held her close.

Andy was crying. So were Lu, Lana, Kayla, and Amy. Amy rushed to the phone she called the o.r., and told them to have a room ready. Then she, Andy, Lu, and Kayla all ran Jackie to the o.r..

The surgery took 10 hours. Around 12:38 A.M. Andy came out of the o.r. Jackie was put a room to rest.

Jeff, and Hayden were informed about Jackie's condition.

Then they went to go visit her. Jeff held Jackie's hand, while Hayden laid in bed with her mum.

Jeff, and Hayden were crying. Lu was sitting in her office replaying the events from that night in her mind, and she blamed herself.
