Daniel pt. 2
Pulling into the busy parking lot Savannah slows down as she drives into school with Jasper in the passenger seat. "What the—" she reacts as they stare around, "are those news vans?"
"Yeah, look" Jasper points as they turn towards the entrance to find newscasters, and cameras pointing at them standing at the front of the school. "The fuck's going on?"
Finding a spot Savannah and Jasper get out the car and slowly walk towards the crowds and commotion, the closer they get the easier it is for them to hear what the reporters are saying.
"Good morning this is Daily News and we are coming to you live in front of Everton Prep Academy, where Daniel Atkinson son of Richard Atkinson is currently finishing his senior year." Jasper and Savannah look at each other at the sound of Daniel's name, "early this morning the court reached a verdict on Richard Atkinson's case and he was found guilty on all counts—"
"Oh fuck..." Savannah looks at Jasper, "what does that mean for Daniel?"
"I don't know." As the reporters continue Jasper scans around the parking lot for Daniel's car, maybe he already knows about the chaos and is skipping it.
Would it be weird if Jasper texted just to check on him? They haven't spoken since the hospital, even though they exchanged numbers.
Jasper didn't want to seem pushy to text or call first so he didn't bother. After taking a few days, Jasper was ready to go back to school he just wasn't expecting to return to this. All he can think about is Daniel now, how will he handle all of this? What does his dad going to prison mean for him and his mom?
Feeling his phone vibrate in his hand Jasper raises it to look at his screen, shocked at the name he quickly opens the text.
Hey, will you be back at school today?
I'm already here, where are you? Could you meet me in the locker room?
Sure.
"I'm heading in," Jasper says to Savannah "Do you need help?"
"No, I'm ok,"
"Ok, I'm gonna wait for Carlos out here then,"
"K, see you later," the boy limps into school leaving all the noise behind him. Walking towards the elevator Jasper rides it down to the first floor then slowly heads toward the boy's locker room. Pushing one of the double doors, he enters the seemingly empty space, the sounds of his slow footsteps echoing in the room. "Daniel?" He calls loudly but not a yell Stopping Jasper looks around until he sees a figure coming from a corner, Daniel stops when they see each other. It's been five days... but why did it feel like forever to them? "Hey," Daniel greets him
"Are you ok?" Jasper asks and Daniel watches as he struggles to walk closer
"I'm fine, are you ok?" Daniel asks causing Jasper to stop realizing how embarrassing he probably looks hobbling all over the place
"I'm good, do you know about all the news vans and reporters outside looking for you?"
