Hey splatty, your name sounds like my name! That poem rules! Wasn't that in a Garfield comic strip a while back? Zippers.cough. Sorry bout that everyone.I Do not own any one.hinton does,.. If anyone is still reading this please r &r. kinda short sorry:

(Mason-continued)

I was shocked. I knew Tex didn't always use his head but a guy gets him shot and he goes and keeps in touch with him. I've expressed my feelings about Lem to him many times. Lem is bad news. The new job he speaks of was probably some new drug deal. Tex wouldn't think of going up there would he?

Things were starting to get out of control with out me here. Tex got his ear pierced, bills were going unpaid, there was no food in the fridge, and Tex was keeping in touch with a drug dealer.

Then I thought good and hard. When I had been here the heat had been shut off, we were held up at gunpoint, Tex jumped a creek on a cycle, he fractured his arm, got in a drag race, and got shot. And that wasn't even all of it.

If things could go that crazy with me here to try and guide Tex what would happen when there was nothing to stop him from doing whatever he wanted?

I knew I had to get to Tex somehow before something really bad happened. If getting shot didn't scare him straight, what would? Nothing would. That was the answer. Tex was going to do whatever he wanted. He was the bravest person I knew. He wasn't scared of anything. I had never realized it before but Tex and Negrito were the same. Tex was a good kid but given the freedom and he'd run wild.

It was Pop I had to get to somehow. But how? I didn't know what to do but I knew I had to do it soon. Otherwise Tex may get hurt.



Sorry I know it was pretty short.. R&R Any flames will be used to roast marshmellows.lol (
