"Jo loved Laurie! they were meant to be!"
As much as I loved Laurie and Jo's dynamic, Jo never loved Laurie romantically, it's even clearer in the books. She did have an intense amount of love for him, but it was strictly platonical.
After Jo rejected Laurie and he was off abroad, she had a conversation with her mother where she stated that she didn't love him as she should but just wanted to be loved by him.
Jo only wanted to be loved by Laurie because of how lonely she felt, especially after the loss of Beth.
