My mate, My exception novel Chapter 28

Jeremy probably hates me. I just made up with him and now I go and do this.

I sit on the coach and turn on the television, turning on some show on HGTV show and watching it in a haze. I am really tired but apparently I am not supposed to fall asleep alone. My parents are going to have to wake me up multiple times throughout the night to check up on me, which I am not looking forward to.

Justin and Jace walk through the door at the same time.

"We were just at the hospital to visit you, we must have just missed you." I naturally nod my head which brings upon a small throb.

"How's Jeremy?" I ask.

"They were wrapping his leg up when we left. Mom and Dad are hoping to be home by midnight."

I look at the time realizing it is already ten. On a regular day I would probably be in bed and on my phone by now.

Jace comes up to me and wraps me in a hug. I haven't seen him in about a week since he doesn't live here anymore.

"I missed you." I say not letting him go.

"You too sis." He says to me. Justin pulls me out of his arms and smashes me into his chest. When Jace gives him a look, Justin shrugs.

"What? My little sister almost died today." I roll my eyes at his over-exaggeration.

After Justin finally lets go I am able to sit back down on the couch. Justin goes upstairs and says he will wake me up in a little bit if I decide I want to sleep. First, I sit up and talk to Jace for awhile.

"So how are you?" I ask him. I don't think that he will answer, thinking he would turn the conversation back to me, but he surprises me.

"Good. I actually met someone."

"Really?" I ask him surprised.

He chuckles and raises his eyebrows at me. "Did you really think I would die alone?" He asks.

I roll my eyes. "Of course not, but I'm happy for you!"

He nods his head. "Thanks."

"So what is she like?" I pry.

"She's the social worker at the school district I work at, so I don't see her everyday. She was at my school one day when I introduced myself and we kinda hit it off."

"What's her name?"
