Chapter2
After sitting for some time in the bar Jake got tired of Will's company. Will was with another table with some big burley men singing a tune and spilling drinks on themselves. Soon through all this commotion Jake heard yelling. The yelling was coming from the upstairs part of the bar and it sounded like a women. Jake got up and went to the sound and looked up the stairs. He saw the lovely girl Eleanor looking angry and broken and a women yelling at her complaining that she did not clean the floors well enough. Jake recognized the women as Eleanor's step mother, she was not bad looking, but her face did have the quality of a cruel person. Finally as if Eleanor had enough of it, she ran down the stairs with tears in her eyes and her cheeks red with anger. She was in such a hurry she ran right into Jake who did not have enough time to move out of the way. He, caught in surprise wrapped his arms around her and she grabbed his shirt as they fell backwards down the last few steps. She fell on top of him with a great thud which made everyone in the bar turn and look their direction. Eleanor got up fixed her disordered clothes and ran out the front door. All the heads were now watching Jake as he too got up and was dusting himself off. Jake stopped and looked to see allot of angry faces looking at him. Jake now put two and two together. He put his hands up as if to say please stop. "I know what it looks like." He said "but it's not true. I … mean I grabbed and then fell." He said with a nervous laugh. "oh no!' he said realizing what he had just said and seeing several men come toward him. "No one touches our innocent Eleanor!" said one very big bald man who had a hold of Jakes shirt.
Another man next to Jakes arm asked 'What should we do with him?"
"I say." Said a skinny man with yellow teeth we teach him how to treat women and make sure he never comes back here again."
And with that they all grabbed Jake, lifted him up in the air and headed toward the door. The rest of the crowd at the bar started cheering. And Will too drunk to notice who it was that was being thrown out, jumped up on a table and yelled " Be gone with you dirty scum trying to get with my brothers girl!"
"Will you no good ",but that's all he had time to say before he felt himself falling and he fell face first into the ground.
