Chapter 3

3:00 AM, Sunday

All of a sudden I was woken up by the sound of glass breaking. I sat up quickly grabbing my crutches and going to grandpa's desk. I opened the desk grabbing out the pistol that is in there. By the time I got the gun dad came running down the stairs.

Dad: Hannah, stay there.

I nod at dad. I help the gun by my side just in case I needed to use it. Dad turned on the porch light and looked out.

Dad: Hannah, it's ok it just Jack. (Dad opens the door)

Jack: Hey, Steve I'm sorry that I woke you up.

Dad: That's ok, but what are you doing here at this hour.

Jack: I just got off my shift and I figured that I would come see how Hannah is doing.

I hobbled over to the front door.

Me: Hi, Jack.

Dad: I'll leave you two alone.

Me: Goodnight, dad.

Jack: Goodnight, Steve.

Dad: Goodnight, Hannah Banana. Goodnight, Jack.

I shut the front door, and hugged Jack.

Jack: Here let me help you. Please hand me your crutches.

Me: Ok.

Jack took one of my hands, and with the other hand he took my crutches and leaned them against the wall. After, he leaned the crutches against the wall he picked me up and carried me up the stairs to my bedroom, and put me on my bed.

Jack: I'm going to go back downstairs and turn the TV off and bring your crutches upstairs.

Me: Ok. Thank you.

Jack: No problem.

Jack went downstairs and came back upstairs to my bedroom. He had two pieces of pepperoni and mushroom pizza.

Jack: Don't worry I'm not eating your combination.

Me: You can.

Jack: I know. So are you feeling ok.

Me: Yes. How was your shift.

Jack: Fine. So what are you going to do on your two weeks off.

Me: Probably just keep the house clean and binge watching Psych.

Jack: Why don't we go somewhere.

Me: Like where?

Jack: It's a surprise.

Me: Ok.

Jack finished his pizza and went to wash his hands in my bathroom, and then he came back into my room.

Jack: Can you hand me a pillow and a blanket please?

Me: Why? Is it so you can lay on the floor?

Jack: Yes.

Me: Don't be silly we are adults you can lay in my bed.

Jack: I can't we are in your family's house.

Me: I know but we aren't doing anything but lying in bed. Besides I want to cuddle.

Jack: Ok, fine.

Jack got in the bed with me and we curled up together.

Jack: Goodnight, Hannah.

Me: Goodnight, Jack.
