I Before Thee

Jeffery.

Can you come with me?

Kelsey is in stable condition right now,

but it is touch and go from here.

Her vitals are fading fast.

The cancer cells have become metastatic.

And the chemotherapy has no effect.

Her body is unresponsive.

Jeffery, we are keeping her heavily sedated right now

so she doesn't feel any pain.

But in a couple hours it will wear off.

You need to make a decision before it's too late.

I know it's difficult

I'm a father too.

But I wouldn't want my child to suffer.

She's fighting, but her body can't take much more.

Can I see her?

Of course, come with me.

Hi sweetie.

It's me Daddy.

Are you ready to go home?

You know I love you.

And mommy loves you too.

I'm sorry she couldn't be here.

But I'm here.

- Mr. Douglas, she needs her rest now.

- I'm sorry, we did all we could do.

- What will it be, it's two for one.

Scotch.

Rough day?

You don't even want to know.

This one's on the house.

Thanks.

That guy looks so familiar.

Jeffery Douglas, is that you?

It's me, Cindy Tate, Annie's friend.

I know who you are.

- I saw you come in, and I wasn't sure if

it was you or not.

It's so great to see you, how are things?

- Cindy, it's not a great time right now.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, I'd love to catch up sometime.

So I'm gonna leave you my number,

and I want you to call me when you're free, okay.

It was really nice seeing you.

Can I top you off?

Sure.

- Jeffery, where the hell are you?

How could you forget today's Brent's birthday.

We'll celebrating at the house.

Get your butt over here.

Later.

Forgot somethin'?

- What are you doing here?

Where have you been?

Out.

Out?

And even drinkin'.

You know you're not supposed to be drinkin'.

I wasn't.

- What's it been, two years since ya--

Three!

- What, ever since she died you--

Don't even say it.

Relax.

It's a party.

Why don't you have some cake.

- So, what are doing here Jeffery?

- I figured we needed a day for ourselves.

Ourselves, huh.

You know with work and school.

We just needed a day for us.

Day for us.

Are you trying to seduce me?

- Now why would I go and do a thing like that.

I know how you are.

You think you know who I am.

But you don't.

I'm full of surprises.

- Yeah, I know what you're full of.

Really Jennifer?

Really?

Yes really.

It's a really nice day though.

- Have I told you how beautiful you look today?

- Not today, but you could tell me 100 times, it's okay.

- I have something important to tell you.

Uh oh.

Should I be worried?

You've got that face.

No.

We search all our lives for that special someone

that we may never find.

But today I believe that I have.

I guess what I'm trying to say is.

Oh my God.

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Looks familiar doesn't it?

I remember taking that picture.

She's is beautiful isn't she?

It was right after you proposed to her.

You two were so in love.

Jeffery you have to stop blaming yourself for what happened.

I should have been there.

- There was nothing you could do.

You can't stop God's plan.

It was her time to go.

I stopped by the hospital the other day to see Kelsey.

How is she doing?

She's still the same.

No response.

No movement.

No nothing.

She'll pull though.

Just keep your faith Jeffery.

Faith can't help me.

The doctors say there's is no hope.

My only hope now is a miracle.

I wish Jennifer was here, she would know what to do.

Jeffery, we are here.

And we're all praying for you.

Don't worry.

I'm not the one who needs it.

Uncle Jeffery?

Hey, what's up little buddy.

Are you enjoying your party?

Yeah.

- I see you got a lot of presents.

What's your favorite?

- The basketball, I want to be just like LeBron.

Really like King James?

You're gonna have to practice a lot.

I will.

Uncle Jeffery?

Is Kelsey going to be okay?

Me and mommy went to see her and she's sleeping.

When will she wake up?

I want to play with her again.

She's,

she's gonna be all right.

She's just resting right now.
