“What? Really?”
“Yeah, he was watching the game and wanted to see how I was.” The yawn was out before he could stop it. “He even asked if I wanted him to come and visit.”
Noah groaned but didn’t say anything.
“Then he started up with that whole needing to talk to the three of us again. I wasn’t in any mood to listen and there’s no way I’m even going to bring it up to Simon.”
“Good call.” He sighed loudly. “Why the hell did he think tonight was a good time to bring that up with you?”
“Who knows? Maybe he thought I needed a distraction,” he murmured.
“It was just another selfish move on his part.”
Jax was about to say more when someone beeped in. Looking at the phone, he saw Tyler’s name.
“Listen, bro, I hate to be rude, but I’ve got another call coming in. I’ll talk to you tomorrow after I see the doctor.”
“Sounds good, Jax. Try to get some rest.”
“I will. Thanks.” Then he hung up with Noah and transferred over to his friend. “Hey.”
“Holy shit, Jax! Are you okay? There is all sorts of speculation going around. What the hell happened?”
So, again, he explained everything that had happened.
“Damn, I’m so sorry. How are you feeling?”
“Right now? Shitty. The shot they gave me finally kicked in, but I know it’s going to hurt like wild in a few hours.”
“It will, but be thankful it’s your left arm. It’ll make things so much easier with your dominant arm being okay.”
“Yeah, yay me.”
He heard Ty chuckle.
“What’s so funny?”
“Because I remember hating everyone who tried to say anything to cheer me up after the accident. I was pissed off and in pain and I just wanted everyone to shut the hell up and leave me alone.”
“Nailed it,” he mumbled.
“Fine. I promise not to point out anymore silver linings, okay? I’ll gladly sit here and listen to you rant and rave and carry on as much as you need. How about that?”
Now he was the one to chuckle. “Honestly, Ty, I don’t even have it in me. My head’s a little fuzzy and I’m in bed and…maybe I just need to sleep while I can.”
“That’s probably a good idea. Do you need anything?”
“The full use of my left arm would be nice.”
“Dude…”
He yawned and winced a bit when he moved the wrong way. “Clearly I’m not good company. Sorry.”
“Nothing to apologize for. You know I understand what you’re feeling, so…don’t give it another thought. Call me tomorrow if you’re up to it. We can talk about the camp stuff or something.”
“Is there anything new with the camp stuff? Did the zoning reports come back?”
“No, but we all know they’re just a technicality. I know the laws around here. Lucy and I were talking the other night and she came up with some ideas that I wanted to discuss with you. But not tonight. Obviously.”
