That One Night

Terrified, Abby confides to Chloe. Shocked and hurt, Chloe is resentful. JC overhears the confrontation between the two and consoles Abby after Chloe leaves.

Unable to tell her parents of her dilemma, Abby feels lost. JC prods her to visit an HIV support group to learn more about the disease that will hopefully convince her to have herself tested. There, they meet colorful characters who despite of their condition remain optimistic.

JC accompanies Abby all throughout her ordeal. will this lead companionship lead to more than friendship? Will JC be able to finally admit to Abby that he is hiding something from her aside from his feelings for her? Will Abby finally have the courage to tell her parents the truth?
