Set: After Gold, before Possession and Nick and Zoe are getting married.


Mount Thomas Uniting Church

Zoe: I do

Nick and Zoe were staring into each other’s eyes.

All of a sudden a gun shot was heard. The guests started screaming and running everywhere, except for PJ who was shot in the main artery in his upper leg and had collapsed. Maggie was trying to stop the bleeding. Zoe had seen it was PJ who was shot and was now doing her best to help (it was a bit hard in her wedding dress). Maggie called an ambulanceand PJ was at the hospital within 10 minutes.

Mount Thomas Hospital

PJ was taken to the Operating Theatre where they did several blood transfusions as well as remove the bullet. After surgery he was taken to the Intensive Care Unit where he was hooked up to several beeping machines. Maggie stayed by his side for 48 hours, only leaving to get a coffee now and then.

Zoe: Maggie go home. You need to rest. I will call you if there is any change.

Maggie: Zoe, you have to promise me you will let me know the moment anything changes. Good or Bad.

Zoe: I promise, Maggie. I Promise.

On the way home Maggie had the car radio playing.

How do I

Get through one night without you

If I had to live without you

What kind of life would that be

Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold

You’re my world, my heart, my soul

If you ever leave

Baby you would take away

Everything good in my life

And tell me know

How do I live without you

I want to know

How do I breathe without you

If you ever go

How do ever, ever survive

How do I

Oh how do I live

Without you

There would be no sun in my sky

There would be no love in my life

There would be no world lieft for me

And I, baby I don’t know what I would do

I’d be lost if I lost you

If you ever leave

Baby you would take away

Everything real in my life

And tell me now

How do I live without you

I want to know

How do I breathe without you

If you ever go

How do I ever, ever survive

How do I, how do I

Oh how do I live

If you ever leave

Baby you would take away

Everything

Need you with me

Baby because you know that you’re

Everything good in my life

And tell me now

How do ilive without you

I want toy know

How do I breathe without you

If you ever go

How do I ever,ever survive

How do I, How do I

Oh how do I live

Without you

Maggie was carefully listening to the words and couldn’t help but think of PJ. Maybe she did feel more than friendship for him.
