Chapter 15
Meghan hurt. She had hurt worse when she dislocated her shoulder and they tried to put it back in. But, she knew she was hurt really bad. So, why didn’t she hurt worse? Where was the pain? She couldn’t really see, just some glow through her eyelids. She tried to open her eyes and couldn’t. JACK, HELP! she shouted. Well, she tried to shout. She couldn’t talk and she couldn’t see. And, what the fuck is this? She wasn’t really hearing either. She didn’t have imaginary friends so she knew she wasn’t dead. What happened? Was it a car wreck? Where was she? How long had she been this way? Meghan McDonald reached out with her inside senses, those senses that allowed her to see, if that was the right word and it wasn’t, down to an almost molecular level.

JACK HELP! She meant to scream. She didn’t think that she even moaned. Hmmm. She was so confused, and so tired, and she knew she was badly hurt. Maybe she would rest for a moment. When injured the body needs to focus all of its resources on healing. She decided to sleep for a day and then fix herself.
JACK WAIT! She knew he would come. She knew it. He always came. He protected her from Mom and Pops and bullies in school and she knew he would come. JACK, I’M IN HERE!
He told her all those things that he always told her and they had always been true before and he never, ever lied to her. He told her to want to live like nothing she had ever wanted to do before. What a silly boy! Of course she wanted to live. She had too many neat problems to solve to die. So many puzzles to solve. Some of the solutions would help lots of people. And, she couldn’t leave Dvora and she couldn’t leave Jack. They wouldn’t be okay without her. Jack wanted her to rest so she could heal. He was going to keep her safe while she rested and mended. So rest today and maybe tomorrow and then get to work healing. She knew how to work. She was so very, very tired. She knew how to rest when rest was what was needed. She would just go to sleep…now.
