1Chapter 6:
"Hello Cowboy," Georgie said walking toward him and Sarah. "How have you been?" Jack turned around and made a grunting noise. "That's' normal."
"What do you want girl?" Jack placed his arm around Sarah's waist.
"I need to talk to you in private."
"Anything you have to say you can say in front of my girl Sarah."
"No this a talk meant between Onora's best friends."
"Who me? I am not that slut's best friend."
"Sleeping with one guy does not make a girl a slut."
"The way she did it does and I am sure she slept with many guys after Spot. That is just something Onora would do,"
"I don't get why Onora use to go on and on about you and how great you were and how much she loved that you were always there for her because all I have seen is a son of a bitch who doesn't understand anything."
"I'll tell you what I understand," Jack looked at Sarah and removed his arm. "Sarah will you excuse me?"
"What happen to anything can be send in front of my girl Jack. What you have a secret about this girl who I never herd of that you don't want me to hear?" Sarah placed her hand son her hip. "Is this a girl I should be worried about Jack?"
"No I just realized that this isn't fair to be talking about her in front of you when you don't even know her. It's not fair to her." Jack kissed Sarah on the cheek. "We are just gonna be over there by that tree." Jack grabbed Georgie's and quickly walked away. When they reached the tree Jack threw Georgie's hand away. "What I understand is that I loved that girl and I told her that I loved her and then she just said 'Cowboy no,' and walked out of my life and went to Spot's that night and the next thing I know they are a couple. Then I hear that she spent then night with him. And I see her cutting school and hanging out with him. Onora never cut school, she was so smart. Then one night she comes to the Lodging House and cries to me that her life is becoming a mess. Her step-mom is treating her like crap along with her dad and she slept with Spot and she is scared she is gonna loose him because now he is always surrounded by girls. Spot barely has anytime for her because he is now the secondhand man in Brooklyn. She has fallen so behind in school that she is failing. The next thing I know I am actually hugging her because I feel bad for her and Spot walks in the door and I got a black right eye. A fight breaks out and Onora is screaming for us to stop. And when we finally do she turns to me and says 'How could you?' She said it to me the one the was defending himself against her crazy boyfriend. Then about two weeks later she leaves town with no notice and leaves Spot emotionless. I've never seen a guy so down. She's a bitch and she doesn't care about anyone herself."
"I'm sure you need to hear her side of the story."
"No as far as I am concern Onora is dead."
"She just might be if you don't help me." Jack looked at Georgie, not understanding what she was saying. "The other day she was talking about how it would be easier just to kill herself. Now as of right now its all talk. But she getting more and mor depressed and hating herself more and more. She feels like she's got nothing to live for. She is scared of living anything but first class but she hates and she doesn't know what to do. She didn't want to leave. Her step-mom made her but that's not for me to tell you. I think you need to talk to her."
"She would never kill herself. She's not stupid. I can't talk to her. I don't trust myself."
"That you will say something mean or that you will follow your feelings?"
"Both. When I saw her the other night all the memories cam flooding back and I love Sarah but there is something about Onora that I cant help but to love. I just can't take that risk."
"I think you need to. You were her best friend. I know I will never be her best friend because that spot is filled by you. She admired you so much Cowboy."
