To Kill a Mockingbird Ch. 32

The next morning, Jem woke up in severe pain, unaware of what was happening. He saw Atticus sitting calmly in front of him reading the newspaper.
"Atticus.What.. what happened?" Jem tried to get up, when he realized the throbbing pain in his right arm, and fell back down trying not to yell. Atticus got up quickly and told Jem to lay down and relax. He left the room to call Dr. Reynolds to check up on Jem. Only seconds later, Scout came runnning in, yelling" Jem, Jem, are you awake yet?! How are you feeling?!" She was jumping all over the place talking and asking questions faster than Jem could understand.
Jem sighed, "Hey Scout."
"How ya doing Jem?" replied Scout.
"Fine, but my arm still hurts a lot. Scout, what happened last night? Who was the person who attacked us? Were you hurt? Come on Scout, tell me."
"Well, Mr. Ewell attacked you, and you got hurt trying to save me. Boo Radley saved you Jem , he carried you home."
"What?!" Did you see Boo Radley? What happened to Mr. Ewell?" Jem was talking fast, with astonishment and shock in his eyes.
"Don't you know Jem, Mr.Ewell's dead." Scout said calmly.
Jem sat there thinking hard, trying to remember what had happened last night. "Wait, what about Boo? Is he okay? Did you talk to him?"
Scout told him all about how she met him yesterday and even walked home with him.
Jem looked frustrated as he realized how much he missed out on.
Later, Dr. Reynolds walked in with Atticus beside him. "Hey Jem, did you sleep well? How's your arm feeling?"
"Fine" Jem said quietly. Dr. Reynold walked over to the bed and told him he would have to take an x ray of his arm.
Scout and Atticus helped Jem sit up slowly so the doctor could examine his arm.
"Atticus" Jem spoke suddenly. " Can Scout and I go visit Mr.Arthur sometime soon?"
Atticus smiled and told him he could go with Scout as soon as his arm was mended.
Before long, the news of Bob Ewell's death and Jem's injury spread throughout the town of Maycomb County. Jem's arm was new and fixed, and soon became a hero. He and Scout went to visit Boo Radley often and became very close friends :)
