Chapter 20
I hate waiting. I know in my mind that Jack is going to be okay, but I'm still worried. I'm worried about my best friend who is in sugery and I'm worried about Pacey and Joey. There has been no word about them since Dawson and Andie arrived. Mrs. Leery is here with Dawson. Mr. Leery stayed back at the restaurant/command center with Bessie and Bodie. Grams offered to go pick up Alexander and take him back to the B&B, Bessie gratefully accepted. I told Grams I would be fine here with Dawson and Andie. I want to be here when Jack gets out of surgery.
We are all silent for a long time. Mr. McPhee is pacing back and forth. Andie is curled up against Dawson. I try to flip through an old magazine, but it's useless, I can't focus on anything. Finally, the doctor comes out. I can't really hear what he's saying, he's talking quietly to Mr. McPhee, but I can make out a few words, "surgery was successful," "very lucky," "just in time."
"When can we see him?" Andie asks.
"He is being moved to a private room now, as soon as he's settled in the nurse will come get you," he tells us.
"Thank you so much Doctor Stevens," Mr. McPhee says shaking the doctor's hand.
The doctor nods and smiles, then he turns and walks back down the hallway.
I'm so thankful Jack is okay now and I'll see him in just a little while. Did I mention how much I hate waiting?
