"Good morning," Jen said as she realized that she was the last one to wake up.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," Nick joked.
Jen threw a pillow over at him. "Hey, where is everyone else?"
"They all went to see Jeff and Sarah and I just wanted to stay to make sure that things were going to be okay over here with you," Nick explained.
"Thanks," Jen blushed. "Well, I guess that I should go take my shower and get changed so we can go to the hospital to see everyone."
Nick nodded in agreement and Jen went into the bathroom. Unintentionally, Jen started to sing. "You’re my sunshine after the rain, you’re the cure against my fear and my pain, ‘cause I’m losing my mind when you’re not around, it’s all, it’s all, it’s all because of you."
Nick started to laugh as he heard her singing. He decided to go downstairs to get her some breakfast.
KNOCK KNOCK!!
"Hmm, I wonder who that can be," Jen said to herself as she climbed out of the shower. She came out of the bathroom in a robe and looked for Nick, who was nowhere in sight.
She started to get worried and tried to look through the peephole, but there was no one there. By now, her heart was pounding practically through her chest. She grabbed a lamp and headed to the door. Slowly she opened the door. Her hands gripped tightly to the lamp and was prepare for whoever that was going to jump at her.
Knowing that someone was about to enter, she pulled her hands back and was about to put all her force towards whoever was coming.
"WHOA!!" Nick exclaimed.
Letting out a sigh, Jen dropped the lamp. "You scared me!"
"Sorry! I just went to get some breakfast for you," Nick explained and put the food down on a table. "Sweetie, everything is okay. Don’t worry about it."
"Not worrying about what happened last night?! Sorry, Nick, I’m just spazzy after what happened."
Not wanting Nick to see that she was about to cry, Jen went back to the bathroom and changed into a tank top and a pair of cargo pants. She came out of the bathroom and ate her breakfast in silence.
"Let’s go," she finally said when she finished all of the food.
"Yeah," Nick replied, having a worried look on his face. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I’m just worried about what’s going to happen. I’ll be fine," she ran her fingers through her hair.
The two of them drove to the hospital without speaking a word to each other.
"Hi," Jen said to her friends as she walked near Jeff’s room. "How is he doing?"
"He’s doing better," Sarah answered. "Are you okay? You look a little pale."
"I’m just worried, that’s all," Jen gave her a fake smile.
Nick entered Jeff’s room where Drew and Justin were already.
"Hey, man, how are you doing?" Nick greeted and hugged his friend.
"I’m actually doing a lot better," Jeff grinned.
"Something tells me that you’re thinking about Sarah," Drew said.
"Shut up, Sprout!" Jeff laughed.
"Oh, yeah, baby!" Drew exclaimed under his breath.
A nurse knocked on the door and asked everyone to go outside for a second when she checked on Jeff.
"Alright, guys, what are we going to do now?" Wendy asked as the guys filed out of Jeff’s room.
"I don’t know," Drew answered.
Suddenly, Nick’s cell phone rang and he went to answer it. "Hello?…Yes…No, nothing else…When?…Okay, I’ll talk to you then…Bye."
"What happened?" Jen asked.
"That was Officer McCormick and he’s coming down here in ten minutes," Nick said.
"Did he say anything about this mystery person?" Wendy asked.
"Nope, nothing as of now. I’m just going to tell Jeff."
The mysterious figure was spying on the group once again, planning his next move carefully.
