I woke up to the sound of shouting and knew that it was my dad's voice that I could hear; he seemed to be shouting about letting people in to see me. My mum was crying and I could hear the faint sound of Jack's music coming out of his headphones. I looked around and saw that I was hooked up to machines… THE CAR ACCIDENT! By the looks of things I'd had a lucky escape… I was alive wasn't I? "Hello?" My voice was slightly hoarse but other than that I seemed to be able to form words "Jenna!" Jack crashed into the room to a nurses' anger, he hugged me and that's when I realised that he had been crying. "Not to hard Jack-o, I do need to breathe you know" he mumbled something about how he thought I had died and let me go but still lingered by my side getting ready to grab me if anything happened. "You're awake then Miss Barakat?" I looked up to see a young nurse flipping through what appeared to be my charts. "No I'm asleep? I just happen to sleep with my eyes open and can interact with people at the same time… like magic" She gave me a dirty look before walking back over to my parents and nodded at them; I'd never seen my dad look so happy… I think I was allowed to go home.
After being told that Alex was fine, very sorry and at home resting I clambered into the car next to Jack. "Did you bring my phone?" the words had been stuck in my throat but I really wanted to see if he had contacted me. Jack nodded and pulled it out of his pocket; I thanked him before switching it on to find 14 new messages. I scanned through the messages, most were from Beth checking that I was ok and whether I was home yet, a few from Chad making sure I was alive and there it was a couple from him… Gaskarth. Jack looked down and saw his name on my phone "You can't talk to him anymore… got it? I know everything…" I looked at him in disbelief; had Alex actually told him? "… I mean Jenna what were you thinking? Not only is he my best mate but I thought you hated him? Turns out you were making out whenever I played taxi." I opened my mouth to defend myself but it was useless; Alex had clearly told him everything. I could kind of understand why he didn't want me to talk to him since I had spent 2 weeks in hospital and him a few days. I was actually surprised that they had let me come home but by the sounds of things during my 2 week stay I was fine, now and again I came around and since I fed myself breakfast this morning they thought I was well enough to be at home with a nurse visiting for the first few days. I was perfectly happy with that although mum didn't seem to be; dad was going back to work like nothing had happened and mum had to be at work. Jack couldn't stay at home, it was his final year at school and his exams would be coming up. It didn't matter that he probably wouldn't need the results as he seemed determined that the band would get somewhere but whether that would change since the accident I was yet to find out.

Jack… speaking of Jack he is REALLY pissed with Alex who keeps asking about you. I think he understands that he has to ask me rather than Jack. Best not to mention him around your family for the time being xxx
I closed the message from Beth so that Jack wouldn't see it, the last thing I wanted now was him to flip over Gaskarth, but he had been asking about me which made me feel better. I yawned and realised how tired I actually was, I was around an hour away from home, so curled up on Jack's arm and fell asleep to the motion of the car.
