Chapter 3:
Books sat down next to Spot on the bed. Spot leaned over and kissed Books. Spot started to unbutton Books shirt but she stopped him
"Sex doesn't answer everything." Books moved away form Spot and sat against the backboard.
"Ya well it helps calm me down." Spot started moving towards Books.
"Spot no. You need to think about your sister and not have sex right now." Books moved her head when Spot went to kiss her.
"Books You know how hard it is being leader of like forty guys. My little sister is back, crazy as ever. Please Books, I want something to make this day better." Spot kissed Books and looked at her. "What's wrong now?"
"Sitting here and talking to me isn't making your day better. You need to get me in bed to make your day better. That's not love, that's lust." Books stood up and walked out of the room. Spot sighed and laid down on the bed.

Fire lit a cigarette and watched the stars. Race waked over to her and sat down next to her. He lit his cigar and watched her. Fire sat up and looked at Race.
"How upset was he?" Fire asked.
"Spot or Mush?" Race waited for an answer.
"Mush?" Fire looked at Race and smiled.
"Very. He missed seeing you everyday. He was fond of you Fire. He loved you and I believe he still does," Race answered.
"Spot?" Race frowned not wanting to answer.
"Well Spot is Spot. He was upset but by the next day he refused to talk about you or his family. He pretended like you didn't exist." Race looked at Fire waiting to see her expression, but one never came. "We all want the old Fire back." Race stood up and walked towards the fire escape. "Mush really wants to talk to you, but he doesn't want to be punched again."
"He won't." Race nodded and left. Five minutes later Mush appeared.
"Fire I want to know something," Mush said walking over to her.
"Shoot." Mush sat down next to Fire and handed her his hat. Fire smiled and tucked it in her back pocket.
"I thought you might have missed it. I will want that back you know. Okay is the reason you all of this because Spot and the rest of us left you?" Fire looked into Mush's caring eyes and nodded. "then you can stop. You're here and we…"
"Dolly and I leave tomorrow. We never stay in one place more the twenty-four hours." Fire laid back down and looked up at the stars.
"So do you still have a crush on me?" Mush asked. Fire sat up once again and kissed Mush. Mush didn't pull away but just gave into the kiss. After about ten minutes they broke apart. Mush looked at Fire and turned away. "Fire we can't. Your Spot's little sister. I love you as a friend and a little sister but…"
"Ever since I was eight, I have known I loved you. Why do you think I stayed in New York? I love you Mush. I feel something when you next to me. I felt something in that kiss." Fire waited for an answer.
"I didn't. That kiss felt stupid."
"Then why didn't you break it?"
"I wasn't thinking. Fire even if I did feel something in that kiss, you've become a slut. I wouldn't be able to trust you."
"I wont cheat on you if I love you and I know I do." Mush stood up.
"Your Spot's little sister." Mush started to walk away, but turned around. "Your out of here tomorrow. Keep the hat."
