754 V2 ch226 (Jeremy POV)

I didn't speak. 

The only sound was the car, speeding down the highway. 

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Wayne finally said something. "But Jake deserves to know too. Turn your phone on and give him a call."

I couldn't lift my head. "I can't."

"You can't?"

I gulped. "I have to wait until I know. I have to see that woman first." I tilted my head to look at him. "I'm staying the night here. Visiting hours start at 9am."

"We'll stay with you." He said, surprising me. "But you really need to turn on your phone and let the people who care about you, know that you're okay." He made brief eye contact. "You're going to be okay."

I sighed. I really should send a text to Jake and Rose. Just so they know I won't be back tonight. I didn't accomplish anything today.
