Chapter 29
School will resume tomorrow. Most of the damage has been repaired. My shoulder is healed and Jack has recovered from his injury as well. My dad said that they still can't get any information out of Caulfield. He just keeps telling them his motive was revenge. All the other shooters were given plea deals if they testified against Caulfield. As it turns out none of their guns even injured anyone, they never took aim at anyone, it was all for show, they shot out windows and at equipment never an actual person, Caulfield had told them it was all a joke to scare someone, but that changed when they entered the school. Matt just started shooting anybody. He's being moved to the state prison to await his sentancing, Dad says even with all the money his family has, he will serve a significant amount of time.
I'm on my way to meet the gang so we can enjoy our final day of freedom before its back to the usual. Things are back to normal. Joey and I are more in love than ever, Jack and Jen are closer than even before, Dawson and Andie are quite smitten with each other, Dawson and I are friends again, and I have a new found respect for my father and brother.
Things are looking up. The extra time off from school helped me catch up with all my extra work and according to Mr. Leery I should now have enough credits to graduate. I owe alot of that to Joey and Andie who have helped me so much.
We have all decided we want to go to college together. Andie decided to go with her second choice school, Worthington, in Boston which is where she and Joey both recieved full academic scholarships, Dawson found out about the film program at Boston Bay and decided to join Jen, Jack and myself there. I don't know if college is the right path for me but I'm going to try. As long as we're together we can do anything.
Things happen that we don't understand but the one thing that remains constant is friendship and love.
