This is my take on Defending Jacob, a "what if" for if there was a season 2. We all know how the book ends. The tv show is very different this what I thought could happen.

Andy has been tormented all of his life. He's constantly covering up his lies. What is this going to cost his family.  When Jacob wakes up. Will things slowly go back to normal for the Barber family. Will Andy's need for normalcy drive him to his breaking point. Will Andy cover up his lies with more lies. How will Laurie cope with her memories starting to haunt her dreams. Will the Barber family survive, will they figure out the truth to the  unanswered question "Did Jacob really murder Ben or not."

It's been 3 weeks since Andy's day in court. The day they voted no bill, the day Andy's nightmares where just beginning. Laurie was about to discharged from the hospital. She didn't want to leave, she begged to stay, to be close to Jacob. Still in his coma for 9 weeks now. 

Jacob finally opens his eyes. The lights of hospital room felt like they where burning right through his soul. His dad was holding his hand, with tears. Andy said "hey buddy we both here, your ok, your safe now." 

Jacob started shaking his head back and forth no, as he tried to speak, but no words could escape his mouth. He looked over to his mom scared, but than went back to sleep. 

Jacob stay that way for the next 3 days going in and out of consciousness.

Andy screamed at Laurie, "how could you do that to our family, I'm doing everything to protect you and our family." Slamming the door as he left the new home. 

Andy had hope the move would be a fresh for all them, away from Newton and the past. Jacob came downstairs wondering why his dad was once again in rage.IAll Rights Reserved

Escaping Kidnappers by Whitney_Joseph

Brianna and her best friend, Aubrey, were walking home from a football match when suddenly two men came out from the bushes with masks. Aubrey was paralyzed with fright but Brianna was completely calm. "Look what we've got here." the tall and muscular man said. Brianna could see the gun which was visibly showing on his side. "This can go the easy way, or the hard way." the other said and Aubrey let out a whimper. Brianna dropped her bag and then addressed the idiots who stood in front of her. They were taken aback by her demeanor as any other person in a situation like this would be in fright, like Aubrey who was too scared to even blink her eye. "No, you listen. This can go the easy way and we won't call the police or the hard way, with you being in a prison cell with a ton of gay men." she said boldly. Brianna suddenly received a hard slap to her face which caused her to stumble and see black spots and two guns now pointed at them. Aubrey let out a scream which was quickly muffled by the other man, who seemed younger than the one who had hit Brianna. Brianna's face was red now, but not from the slap, rather from the anger which was building up from the fact that these amateur men were about to either rob or kidnap them. Suddenly, a white van appeared and before either of the girls could run, they were grabbed and thrown into the van, with the two men shutting the door and the van screeching off into the night. __________ Read to find out what happens.
