What did Jess do when he found out that Leslie was dead?

From the text:

"Your friend Leslie is dead, Jesse. You need to understand that."
Jess slid his hand out from under his father's. He got up from the table.
"I know it ain't a easy thing-" Jess could hear his father speaking as he went into the
bedroom. He came back out with his windbreaker on.
"You ready to go now?" His father got up quickly. His mother took off her apron and
patted her hair.
May Belle jumped up from the rug. "I wanta go, too," she said. "I never seen a dead
person before."
"No!" May Belle sat down again as though slapped down by her mother's voice.
"We don't even know where she's laid out at, May Belle," Mr. Aarons said more gently.
