Chapter 19

It still feels weird to be driven places, but Donnie’s glad for it tonight. He doesn’t think he could concentrate on driving right now. They take him home, and a security guard even walks him to his door. Clearly they’re taking no chance that tonight was some sort of strike against the band.

“What’s going on? Why are you home so early?” Kelly asks as Donnie walks inside. She’s on the couch, watching TV.

“You haven’t seen anything on the news or the internet yet?” Donnie asks. He kicks his boots off and goes to sit with Kelly.

“No, what happened?” Kelly asks.

“A car almost hit Jed,” Donnie says, and tells her what happened. He still can’t believe it.
