Part 27
"Jenn.... Im really sorry... But.."
She hugged herself and collapsed to her knees, She was shaking her head and the tears were streaming her face...
"He's....."
"I dont want to hear it!!!!!!"
She screamed at me.
"But Jen.."
"NO!!!!!"
She just sat on her knees and shook her head in disbelief..
"Jenny please.."
She looked at me with bloodshot eyes, i could tell that her emotions were overflowing now.
"Im sorry but he's going to be out for a while"
"NOOO.... what?"
"He's ok... Just a knock on the head and a few broken ribs... he's ok"
She, and the other 2 stared blankly at me for a long time and Paul and Tim cracked up laughing hysterically...
Jenny on the other hand filled with intense anger and i got momentarily scared...
"YOU BITCH!!!!!" she screamed and lunged at me... THankfully Tim and Paul had good enough reflexes to grab her before her clenched fist hit my face..
"YOU SCARED THE shit out of me.... you... stupid..."
She stopped struggling and began to sob...
"Hey...."
"I thought the one good thing in my life was gone.... it was your fault... you didnt save him... you let him die.."
"But i didnt...."
I got on my knees so i could be at her level. She looked at me and began to laugh and hit me weakly in the shoulder...
"bitch".
"I know..." i replied smiling and we hugged.
I went over to Rich and made sure he was still ok.
"Guy's can you get one of those boards for me, Jen, Help me look for a sleeping bag or something."
Paul and Tim retrieved the board as i asked and then joined us in our search for some of our possesions. She sun was begining to rise and i assumed it was about 6:30.
We managed to find 2 sleepng bags, a blanket and 3 of the 5 backpacks. Using one of the sleeping bags, we lifted Richard onto the board and covered him with the blanket so he would stay warm. We figured that the best thing we could do was go to Danny's cave.
"That was really mean :)"
Paul said with a smile...
"Yeah i know, cruel aint i"
"hehehe yeah, but i must admit it was bloody hilarious after.. Poor Rich"
"Well well well.... do you mean to say you feel sorry for Rich Mr. Heartless? I said teasingly..
"Ummm... i... ahhh... no?"
We both laughed and began reciting lines from a previous play we'd performend. Atleast for the short walk, we had something to take our minds off what was behind us...
And what was ahead....
