" Jack. Its me." Knots said stepping towards him.
" Ise sorry goily, but Ise dunno who youse are." Jack said guiltily
" Jack." Knots said starting to laugh a little. "I can't believe you don't recognize me. Its me, Knots."
Jack Laughed.
" Ok which one of da boys put ya up to dis? Was it Crutchy? How about Racetrack? Eh I'll soak em." Jack said playfully.
The smile on Knots's face disappeared.
" Jack." She said with tears in her eyes. "Its me. Honest."
She stepped closer to him so he could look at her face." Look at me Jack. Really look at me, and tell me you don't recognize me."
Jack looked at her face and touched her cheek. His face fell.
" Knots." He whispered. "It is you."
" Yea Jack. I even have your bandanna to prove it."
She handed him the red material that was in her hands.
" Oh Jack I missed ya!" she said throwing her arms around him.
Knots noticed that Jack wasn't hugging her back.
She looked at Jacks face and he looked mad.
" Whats da matta wit you Jack? Aint ya glad ta see me?" Knots said confused.
Jack just stared at her with rage in his eyes.
" Say something Jack." Knots was starting to get annoyed.
" Who da hell do you think you are?" Jack said furious
" What?" she said not understanding why Jack was acting so weird.
" You tink, that you can just come back to me five years later...and expect me to drop everyting for ya?"
" No! Jack no its not like that! I.. I promised you I would come back!"
" Yea well your back, and you kept your promise. Now you can go back to whatever rich hoity toity snob youse with."
" Jack! I'm not with anyone! I told you I was gonna wait for ya and I did damn it!"
" Ya right. How the hell do I know that. For all I know you forgot about me and then just remembered to drop in when youse was passing through the neighborhood."
" Jack Kelly you couldn't be more wrong!" Knots said furious.
" I thought about you every damn second I was awake, and when I was sleeping I was dreaming about you!" Knots said tears falling down her cheeks.
She walked over to the bed and picked up the journal. She slammed it against Jack's chest and walked out the door.
Jack stood there astounded at what had just happened. He walked out the door and saw that Racetrack and Milkshake were standing in the hallway.
" Where did Knots go?" Jack said to Milkshake even though he didn't know her.
" She left the lodging house Jack. Probably went out to give ya some time." Racetrack said. "I can't believe ya got mad at her Jack. After all the times ya talked about her, and wished she would come back. Ya finally got what you wanted and you got mad?"
Racetrack turned and left the lodging house as well.
" Everything she said Jack." Milkshake said speaking up, even though she didn't know Jack. "Everything that goil said was true. She went through hell trying ta get back to ya."
" Ya? Well how am I supposed to know that?" Jack said.
" Just read the journal wills ya? It explains everyting."
Milkshake went back into her room.
Jack decided he would go for a walk.
He walked to the park where Knots had broken the news to him about her having to leave. He sat up against the same tree that they had carved their initials into.
He opened the journal, and began to read.
