"
Laura - you don't think ....
Stormie - it could be . Rocky took you to the beach house to calm down , you said Courtney came there .
Laura - but , she left . Why would she come back ?
Stormie - who knows , maybe she wanted to see if you were still there
Laura - but I gave her my number . This just doesn't make since .
Stormie - well sweetie , if you want we can go to the hospital and see . I know you just want to make sure she is given the opportunity of a second chance . I like that about you .

Ross - yea , it's who she is , it's one of the things I love about her
Mark - WE love about her
Courtney -( bites her lip )
Laura - Courtney , I think everybody has . something to say to you .even me . I'm sorry Courtney I shouldn't have judged you by what you did to me , I didn't know your situation and it turns we are pretty similar , we both know what it's like to lose your parents and hurt by someone you love
Ross - ( look down )
Courtney - you lost your parents too ?
Laura - yes .
Courtney - you didn't have to apologize. I should be the one apologizing I was a bitch about Ross and I said thugs to you that I'd don't mean I honestly think you are really pretty . I'm really sorry for what I'd do and about your parents
Laura - thank you . Your really pretty too  . But I think everybody has some apologizing or explaining to do ...especially Ross
Ross - ( Ross speaks up )Courtney the last adjectives I called you were " useless bitch" and I didn't mean that ? I was frustrated you wouldn't leave when I broke up with you . That day I was actually going to kill myself , I was going through somethings and I couldn't take it anymore but Laura came that day and as soon as I seen her I knew I couldn't go through with it . I knew she was the one , but no matter how frustrated I was I shouldn't have those words and I'm sorry . I don't  want those to be the last words you hear from me either . So what do you say , forgiveness ?
Courtney - ( smiled )
Rydel - forgiveness ?
Riker - forgiveness ?
Ratliff - forgiveness ?
Stormie - forgiveness ?
Mark - forgiveness ?
Ryland - forgiveness ?
Rocky - forgiveness ?
Courtney - of course ! Thank you all . Mostly you Laura . I couldn't thank you enough for this I promise I won't do anything to interfere with you and Ross .
Nurse -( comes in ) ma'am do you know when your parents will be coming .
Courtney - they won't be . They died a few years ago .
Nurse - I'm so sorry . Is this your family ?
Courtney -...
Rydel - yes . We are .
( this caused Laura and Courtney to smile )
Nurse - well I have good news and bad news .
Good news is you have an option bad news is the option is hard
Ross - what is it ?
Nurse - Courtney , we can do two things for you , one amputate your leg and replace it with a prosthetic or , your tue other option is who don't get the prosthetic and be In a wheel chair for the rest of your life . Your doctor looked into any surgeries that can prevent this choice  making  , but you weren't found soon enough , in order for the surgery to have a chance of working . I'm terribly sorry .
