Chapter 24

I wake up and realize I'm still lying in the hospital bed with Jack. It seems darker outside and I realize it's close to 7pm when I notice the clock up on the wall. Wow, it feels like we've been asleep forever. I'm getting hungry. I carefully sit up trying not to disturb Jack, but he's awake now too.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, actually my stomach did?"

I smile, "Want me to go get someone to bring you something?"

"Nah, see if my dad will go get us some burgers? Hospital food is nasty." he laughs.

"Sure thing," I say climbing out of the bed. Jack turns on the TV and starts flipping through channels as I walk out of the room to go find . I walk a little ways down the hall and find Mr. Mc Phee sitting in the waiting area with Mr. Leery and Bodie.

"Hey Jen, how's Jack doing?" Mr. McPhee asks when I walk up to them.

"He seems like his old self again, he wanted me to ask if you'd mind going and getting us a couple of burgers, we're both starving."

"Hey why don't I call Gale and have her get you something? She and Bessie are on their way back up here now. It'll save you a trip back out Joe." Mr. Leery says to us.

"That'd be great." I tell him.

"You sure she won't mind?" Mr. McPhee asks.

"Not at all, I'll call her now." Mr. Leery says, he pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and gets up to go talk to Mrs. Leery on the phone.

"Where's my Grams?" I ask.

"She's still at the B&B, she offered to stay and look after Alexander, so Bess could come back up here to be with Joey and I could go back to the restaurant and clean up." Bodie tells me, "she really is a very kind woman, much different towards us than she was just a couple years ago."

We both laugh, I remember well the night of the hurricane and everyone being at Dawson's house. What a night that was? It's so amazing to see how far we've come. Joey and I are actually friends, I have the best friend I could ever hope for, Pacey and Dawson have gone from best friends to enemies and now back to friends, and Andie and Dawson seem to have some feelings for each other now, and of course Pacey and Joey are completely in love. I laugh to myself as I walk back to Jack's room.
