Chapter 28
I wake up and glance at the clock, it's 9:00am and I can smell Grams cooking from Jen's room. I've been spending every spare second I have with Jen. Ever since the shooting she refuses to leave my side. She's convinced that I'm going to leave her. That's not gonna happen, not a chance.
I sit up slowly. Jen opens her eyes and smiles.
"Hey you," she says.
"Hey yourself," I smile in return.
"Mmmm...smells like Grams is making pancakes and bacon."
"Good thing cause I'm starving since someone devoured all the junk food last night and I barely got any." I laugh gently shoving her.
"Oh whatever," she says picking up her pillow and playfully hitting me in the face with it, "you ate way more than I did."
"C'mon, last one to the kitchen has to serve the other," I taunt, jumping up and heading for the door.
"You dirty rotten cheater," she yells chasing after me.
I reach the kitchen before Jen. I'm laughing as I sit down next to Grams.
"Where's the fire?" she asks as Jen flops into her chair.
"Jen is too slow, so she has to serve me my breakfast."
"Jack is a cheater," Jen says trying not to laugh.
"Well I'm glad to see smiles on both of your faces after everything you've been through."
"It feels good to smile," Jen says, pouring us both a cup of coffee.
"Jack, dear, Andie called a little bit ago. She wanted you to call her when you woke up." Grams tells me.
"Ok, I will after I eat. This food smells delicious, much better than my dads attempt at pancakes." I laugh.
Grams smiles at me. I love being here with Jen and Grams, my second family.
