"We are heading into nut country." Jack said. "Jack, don't be that way. Everything will be fine." Jackie replied. But deep down inside she knew he was right. Just a month before then, Adlai Stevenson had been jeered, jostled, hit by a sign, and spat upon. Then there was a knock on the door. "We will be landing shortly." Clint said. Jackie got up and changed into her pink suit. It was Jack's favorite. Jackie stepped out of the plane. She was so nervous. Jack was right behind her. The crowds immediately started to cheer. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, someone handed her red roses. They shook hands, and made their way to the motorcade. There, they were greeted by governor Connelly and his wife, Nelly. They drove past thick crowds screaming "PRESIDENT KENNEDY!!" and, "JACKIE!!". One time, there were even people with a sign that said, "please stop and shake hands with us, Mr. President!". Jack smiled and said "Stop the motorcade please." Jackie was laughing, and they got out of the car and shook hands with the people and met them. They continued to drive and then they got near Dealey Plaza.

"BANG!!" She heard the first shot and she could see blood. She watched in horror as Jack reached up to his neck. "Jack!!" She screamed. She reached over and pulled him down. "BANG!!" Jackie looked up to see the second shot pass over Jack and hit governor Connelly in the arm. "Jack! Jack, can you hear me?" Jackie screamed. She put her fingers on his neck. There was a slight pulse. She held his head in her lap. He had been shot in the neck.

After what seemed like an eternity, they finally got to the hospital. Jackie would not let go of Jack. "Mrs. Kennedy, please, let us help him." Jackie was in so much shock, she didn't hear him. She just stared at him. So, Clint took off his jacket and covered Jack's head. Finally, Jackie let go of him. They rushed him into the hospital. Clint ran to call Bobby. "Hello." Bobby picked up. "Bobby, it's Clint. I need you to come to Dallas. The president has been shot." Clint could hear Bobby crying on the other end of line. "What do you mean he's been shot?!" Bobby yelled. "He was shot in the neck at Dealey Plaza while riding in the motorcade, and he's still alive, but barely." Clint heard sobbing on the other line. "How's Jackie?" Bobby asked. "She's in shock right now." Clint responded. "I will be there as soon as possible." Bobby said.

Jackie stood up from where she was sitting and walked into Jack's room. Jack was laying on the table with tubes everywhere and an incision in his upper left arm that was pumping IV fluids into his body. Blood covered the floor. "Get her out of here!!" Dr. Ronald Jones instructed. The nurse grabbed Jackie by the arm. "Mrs. Kennedy we need you to leave the room." Jackie looked up with her pain filled eyes. "No, I want to stay with Jack." She said softly. The nurse continued to push her out. "No. You must leave." Jackie grew more stern. "No. I am staying with my husband." This time she said it stronger and more seriously. " Let her stay in with President Kennedy." Dr. Jones called to the nurse. The nurse backed away. Jackie slowly walked towards her husband with a blank look on her face. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you Jack," She said softly.

Bobby and Ethel ran to Jackie who was seated outside of Jack's room. Bobby hugged Jackie. "How is he?" Bobby asked with tears in his eyes. Jackie hesitated for a second. "He was shot in the neck. He still has a pulse, but I don't know if he will make it." Bobby ran over to the room Jack was in, while Ethel stayed with Jackie.

After a about half an hour of being in the room with Jack, Bobby finally emerged from the hospital room. Jackie looked up at him. Bobby slowly sat down next to her. "He's..." Jackie looked over at him. "He's what?" She asked urgently. "He's gone into a coma." Jackie hugged Bobby and cried.

Rose, Joe Sr., Eunice, and Pat came into the hospital. Joe had suffered a stroke, so he couldn't talk and he was in a wheelchair. "How's Jack?" Rose asked quickly. Jackie hesitated again. She was a complete wreck. Her hair stuck to her face from the tears, the tiny bit of makeup she did wear was running, and she was still in shock from watching jack be shot in the neck. "He's in a coma." Bobby answered for her. Rose immediately broke into a sob. Eunice and Pat hugged Rose. Even though Joe couldn't talk or walk, he could still hear what was going on. He started to cry too.
