A few weeks had passed and Jeff was doing well. He was going to group meetings, and actually met a few new people. Though he rarely saw Trish which made him curious, was she just visiting? Jeff sat at a
picnic table on the patio just admiring the view. Patients were outside eating and talking, if he kept up the good work he might actually be able to go out on weekends. This was exciting news for him. Jeff
scanned the sea of faces, just hoping to catch a glimpse of those familiar brown eyes or shapely body. He ran his fingers through his hair, his old time friend Shannon Moore was approaching him. Jeff grinned,
"Dude you said you were gonna call before you showed up!" Shannon chuckled and embraced Jeff. "Man it has been too long. You look good, obviously this place isn't treating you too bad." Jeff smiled, "Nah, it's
not too bad at all." Shannon smiled, "Bro, we've got lots of shit to catch up on!" Jeff patted the vacant seat next to him, "Well c'mon get to it."
Jeff quickly double checked himself in the mirror, he had just finished showering, shaving and getting dressed. His first weekend out and he couldn't wait to see his family and friends again. An aid quietly
approached the door, "Jeff I believe your ride is here." He smiled, "Thanks." He brushed past her grabbing his wallet off the dresser and making his way outside. He zipped up his hoodie being greeted with the
crisp, cool air of fall, jogging over to Jason Arhndt's car. "He slid his way into the passengers seat, "What up Jay man, where we off to?" Jay grinned, "We're gonna hit up Adam's for a bit, is that cool?" Jeff thought
for a moment, he knew the kinds of things that happened at Adam's, not too sure if it was a good place to be at the moment in his condition. Mentally debating, he ignored the voice in his head pleading
otherwise. "Yeah man that's fine." Jay nodded and sped off into the night.
