Chapter 11: Things from a tree.

"Jackson it's time to go to school!" His father called out.

It took a time before Jackson had arrived in the living room since he was in a wheelchair only because there was little chance that if he walked he would pop some stiches open and bleed very hard and he had already lost an amount of blood.

There wasn't really something spectacular about the wheelchair. It was just the average, black, metal kind of wheelchair you can rent in so many countries and even though the stitches were the reason he couldn't attend the dreadful exercise classes, they were also the reason he needed help from his dad to go upstairs to his own room and the wheelchair made sure that he couldn't play with Henry on the wooden play castle.

Mr. Overland pushed his son's wheelchair to the black car. He opened the left door to the passenger seats, lifted Jackson from his temporary wheelchair and put it in the cargo space of the car. Good thing his car had that.

Mr. Overland started the car after Jackson had the safety belt on and the door closed. After that he directly drove to the school. It was a good thing that you can't really have a traffic jam in a small city like Storybrooke, especially when no one from other places came to the city.

"Dad I was wondering, when will the stiches be gone?" Jackson asked while a soft melody came from the speakers of the radio in the car.

"A normal stitch would be gone in a week, but your wounds were pretty deep so it might take two or three weeks. Maybe even longer." Mr. Overland gave as an answer, but it was far from the answer Jackson had hoped for.

"Pleeeaassseee, tell me that you're joking. I can't be in this damned wheelchair for that long?" Jackson said, stretching the word please for a few seconds.

"Mind your language."

"Sorry, dad." Jackson quickly replied since he didn't want to anger his father, because he could get really creepy when he was.

After a conversation that was about girls, stitches, wheelchairs and Jackson asking for a new mobile phone once in a while, they finally arrived at the school just before the bus arrived.

Jackson opened the door and wanted to step out, but immediately stopped when Mr. Overland threatened, "If one of your stiches pops open, because you had been irresponsible, you'll be grounded for five weeks."

After Jackson had been placed back in his wheelchair by his dad, they told each other goodbye and not much later his father drove away in the car.

Jackson started to search for Henry, because according to his dad, he had spent most of the time with Henry and really wanted to know what he had done.

After a while he had heard a familiar voice calling his name and it didn't take long before he had figured out that it was Henry's voice.

He soon spotted Henry, who was walking towards him. He seemed to be really happy. That was probably because he had been worried about Jackson and Jackson was his only real, best friend so Henry must have been lonely.

"Is everything alright?" Henry asked, not knowing about Jackson's amnesia.

Jackson didn't really want to tell him. Maybe it would disappoint Henry. Maybe they had done something that meant so much for Henry that he would never forgive Jackson for forgetting it, but then again that didn't sound Henry-like. "Can you tell me what we had been doing since Emma got in town, because I can't remember anything about it."

Henry's eyes got wider. After a while he asked, "Had Mary Margaret found you near the border?"

"Yeah, why?" Jackson asked.
