| Chapter 8 �Dr. Witter?� Bessie asked as she went over to him. �How long is my sister going to have to stay here?� Her eyes were big and red and full of concern. Even though I know that she�s only worried, I swear her eyes are going to pop out. I try not to smile. �Well, Bessie, I think that we�ll need to keep her over night, just to be sure. I�ll see how she is doing in the morning and then we�ll go from there.� Dr. Witter was looking over my results in his tablet as he was talking to Bessie. �Does that sound okay with you?� �All long as she�s going to be okay. That�s all the matters right now.� Bessie said as she turned to me. Oh, God, what is going to say to me now. �Joey, if Dr. Witter lets you out tomorrow, you�re coming hope with me. I will not let you stay in this city with that man running around.� She puts on her �no ifs, ands, or buts face.� I swear I see a few veins popping out of her neck. Okay, that�s just scary. �No, Bessie. I am not going back to Capeside with you. For all we know, he could be there right now. I�m no more safe there than I am here.� I gave her my �no way in hell look.� �Jo you are not going to fight me on this. You are coming home with me tomorrow. I don�t like you being here by yourself.� I swear she�s going to start crying as she said this. Don�t cry Bessie. Don�t cry. Thank God, she doesn�t. �I. Am. Staying. Here. I don�t care what you say Bessie. I�m not leaving. Your welcomed to stay with me for a few days if it will make you feel better.� I give her a challenging look. She slowly breaking. �Besides, I have Jen and Drue if I need anything.� I look towards them, �Right guys?� �Oh, yeah , right, Joey. We�ll keep you safe,� They answer at the same time. Bessie�s sighing. I think I won! �Fine Joey, I�ll stay with you for a few days after you get out of the hospital. Okay?� She asked defeated. I won! Heh, heh. �That�s fine Bessie. You can stay with me for a few days.� I look up at here and try not to smile. �Oh, and we�ll be staying at Drue�s because I lot my purse.� �Joey.� She said sternly. I just hold my hand up and she stops and just stares at me. I�m good. |
