Chapter summary: Jack and Pecks fight! Pecks rats on Gem and Jack finds out the truth about Gem working for Crooks he gets mad!!!!!!!!!!!
My head was pounding and hitting the ground just made it worse. I squinted and tried to clear my blurry vision after a few blinks I could see strait again. Jack and Pecks were circling around each other staring glare to glare. A few punches were thrown just testing one another's fighting skills out. I searched for something that could be used as a weapon; my hand fell upon a piece of broken wood kind of resembling a bat.
"Is dis da best you could do Gem! You leave Crooks for a few days and find a Manhattan boy? Da plan was ta head ta Brooklyn in case you don't rememba'" He smirked and landed a punch on Jacks jaw. Jack took three strait hits to Peck's jaw, and his left eye twice. Peck's anger was now refreshed but Jack was mad too. I didn't wait for Pecks to continue "blowing my spot" I took the piece of wood and slammed it down on the back of Peck's head as hard as I could. He fell to the ground with a loud thud and didn't move.
"Ya freaking bastard!" I kicked Pecks in the ribs. He still dint move, but I could see him breathing so I wasn't too worried about him. I kicked him again then walked past Jack and out of the alley. The sun was bright and the birds were chirping. I hated birds! My head was still pounding and I didn't even want to hear what Jack was going to say now that he knows I was with Crooks. This day was the worst of the worst days in the history of the world. No other day could have been this bad ever!
"Gem!" Jacks voice intruded into my thoughts, and he didn't sound to happy. I stopped and turned around. Jacks lip was cut and his hair disheveled, I looked down at his hand and his knuckles were bloody. Aww he did that for me…no…maybe he didn't, he wanted to fight Pecks anyways. My thoughts keep contradicting each other. "Is is true?" he demanded an answer. "Are you working for Crooks?"
"Listen Jack it aint what ya think… see me and Crooks…well uh Crooks and I we'se kinda are…no we were…well according to me…actually it all started when… Wait ok, I met Crooks in Santa Fe he told me about New York he said he would take me here and he did, but he was a different person back then. We dated and according to him are still dating…I spied on Brooklyn for him for a few days and them I kept noticing he wasn't the same person I thought he was so I left…and then I found Manhattan I was going to stay out of it I just needed to get away from him for a few days… I didn't mean it to go this far. Now …"
"No! just stop dere I don't want to hear anymore! You knew all along about Crooks and you just sat dere! Half of Brooklyn is being picked off one by one and you knew all along that dat is what he was going ta do?" he raised his hand up to strike me but stopped. "Ya know what go back to Crooks ya freakin skank we don't need you! I'll see you in two days… Tell Crooks we'se bringing da fight ta him!" Jack stormed off not even giving me a second glance. How could I be so stupid I knew dis would happen! I should have just stayed with Crooks, I should have left Manhattan! Now I cant go back to Crooks, cause he'll kill me and I cant go anywhere else cause dey think I'se a traitor! Good job Gem way to screw things up for ya self!
"Don't worry Gem! Crooks is expecting ya! I'm sure he wont beat you too much! He's a somewhat forgiving guy! If you say da right things I'm sure he'll be reasonable." Peck's smirked and gripped my arm, dragging me back to the Bronx.
**Bronx**
"Look what I found Crooks, one skank just da way you ordered it!" He grinned. Crooks eyes glistened.
"Hey Gem, whats dis?" He titled my head toward the light. The dropped my face and hit Pecks square in the nose. "I told you not to hurt her!" Pecks stood perfectly still and let his nose bleed. Crooks glared in my direction and through me up the stairs, then grabbed my arm once we were at the top. This was just the beginning. He threw me into a room of which I hit the opposite wall. He hit me a few times then I felt ropes encircling my wrist.
"If you cant stay put like I axed ya den you'se is gonna stay put when I make ya!" He lifted my chin and kissed me roughly then smacked my face and left me on my knees with my hands tied behind my back. I wanted to cry but held back the tears, tears only make you weak!
