This is the last chapter. I might bring Jess's father back in future stories if people want more, but I will not add another chapter to this story. This chapter is short and just ties things up.

"How much longer do you think the bus will be?"
Jess shrugged and looked at his watch, "It's probably just a bit late, it happens."
"This is your last chance to change your mind. I don't want you to think I rushed you into a decision or anything."
Jess shook his head and kicked at a rock by his foot, "I've made up my mind, there's no way I'll change it."
Jess watched as the bus drove up and stopped in front of them. He reached down and picked up one of the bags sitting onto the ground and put it into the storage area below the bus. John walked up the steps and turned around.
"I'm sorry you don't want to come with me Jess." He fumbled inside of his coat pocket before handing Jess a piece of paper, "Here's my phone number and address. Try and call me some time, okay?"
"Sure." Jess nodded and accepted the paper. He glanced at it and looked up to wave as the bus drove away.
Jess turned on his heal and rolled the paper into a ball, throwing it into the trash can nearby. He had better things to do than call some one who never cared enough to visit for so many years. The only person that he'd call tonight would be Rory. She promised that she'd think more about her relationship with Dean. Of course she'd decide to leave him, nobody can stay with some one an IQ that low for too long.
Jess continued walking to the diner and realized that he felt a lot happier than he had for a while. For the first since he had come to this town, he knew that he was going home to family.
