Chapter 21

“She will. Want to watch a movie? I’m not allowed to do much for a few days. I have to rest. Some company would be nice.” Jed looks hopeful.

“Are you sure?” Donnie had thought Jed would want to spend his time with Jamie.

“Yeah. It’ll be like on the tour bus. You’ve been my movie buddy for weeks; why not again now?” Jed smiles. He has a nice smile, a kind smile. Donnie’s liked it from the start.

“I don’t have anything else to do today,” Donnie admits.

“Then hang out, watch some movies, eat some junk food,” Jed suggests.

“Okay, but no sad movies. And nothing with car chases or anything like that,” Donnie says firmly.

“Deal,” Jed grins.

“You sit. Tell me what movie to get,” Donnie says in a no nonsense tone.

Jed picks a movie, Donnie puts it on, and they settle in to watch a movie. When Jamie comes back in and sees them sitting there, she doesn’t look happy that Donnie’s still around. Donnie decides not to care.6
