Chapter 3 - Stupid Questions
---------------------
She walked back to the Lodging House her head down not looking where she was going. She knocked into someone but didn't look up and mumbled 'sorry.' But the person she walked into was not so forgiving. He grabbed her arm and threw her into a near by alley.
"Hello dere, sweet face." The person said with a deep voice. She looked up and saw two boys, assuming they were brothers, standing tall over her and grinning wildly. Lady chocked. The taller one of the two picked her up and shoved her into a wall. She closed her eyes tightly, but the boy pushed her into the wall again, knocking her unconscious.
Skittery, Race, Blink and Mush were walking down the street just talking about random things. Skittery wasn't really paying any attention to them. He was mad at himself for not saying anything to Lady about Laura. When he had cleared his mind, not wanting to think about it anymore he was startled to see Laura sitting on a bench outside of the little general store she worked at.
"Hey Skittery, dun you'se tink you'se should go see what she's doin'?" Mush teased and elbowed Blink.
"Yeah! She looks awful lonely" Race said with a playful sympathetic look. Skittery smacked him upside the head and walked over to Laura. Laura watched him walk over and sit down next to her.
"Hey," he said and gave her a half smile.
"You'se got any cigarettes?" she asked with out looking at him and picking at her finger nails. Skittery checked his pockets and pulled out a box and gave her one. "Thanks," she whispered taking it from his hand and pulling a match from her own pocket. Skittery watched her light the cigarette. She took a deep inhale and turned to face him.
"Is sumtin' wrong?" he asked, feeling like he did something and didn't know what.
She took another puff of her cigarette and nodded. "Um Skittery, did you'se evah tink 'bout uh..." she closed her eyes trying to avoid him when she said this, "...uh... family?" she scratched out. Skittery was confused, what was she trying to say?
"What do ya mean?"
Laura rolled her eyes at his lack of common sence, "I'se might be pregnant, thats what I'se mean!" she yelled a little annoyed.
Skittery got wide eyed and almost feel off the bench. The other boys were eavesdropping from where they had been standing, then just walked away casually acting like they didn't hear anything.
"What... How could... I mean... when... what... how...?" he was struggling on what to say; then took a deep breath. He knew he shouldn't ask her this but he didn't know what else to say. "Is it mine?"
Laura gave him another annoyed look, "Yes stupid!"
"Right," he said so quietly it was almost impossible to hear.
"Look, if ya dun wanna be a pawt in dis den leave now!" she was harsh with the words. 'Why is she sayin' dis tah me, of coise I wanna be a pawt in dis.' Now Skittery was annoyed, "Why ya bein' so mean tah me?"
"'Cause yer asking stupid questions and sayin' stupid tings."
"Well I wasn't exactly 'specting ya tah tell me you'se havin' a baby!"
"Well neithah was I, you'se tink i want dis!"
"Yer makin' it sound like its awl my fawlt!"
"Dat's 'cause it is! Shesh men are so stupid!"
"We ain't stupid we jist don't like it when our goilfriends shut us outtah dere lives!"
"I'se ain't shuttin ya out!"
"Den why'd ya tink I'd leave!?"
Laura looked down and started to cry. "I'se sorry, I'se jist not feelin' so good and me muddah and faddah kicked me outtah duh house 'cause I told dem foist and not you."
Skittery never really understood her parents very much. They were nice, but did weird things for weird reasons. He decided not to question what they did because he knew it would come out as another stupid question.
"I'd awffah you'se a bed in duh Lodging House, but we'se already got a goil and Kloppman ain't too happy 'bout it, so bringin' ya in is outtah duh question."
Laura sniffled and put her head on his shoulder. "I'se so sorry," she whispered.
"Don't be, thin's 'ill get bettah, promise." That was the end of the conversation, but it didn't stay quiet. They heard banging coming from down the street. They jumped up and ran towards the direction of the noise. They reached an alley where they saw the Delancy brothers struggling with something, and then Skittery realized that something was Lady. Laura gasped when she saw a girl lying on the ground. She pushed Skittery in the alley to help her.
