Thanks to ALL my reviewers! You guys are awesome! Sorry I haven't updated in a while...I need some ideas so if you have any let me know! On to the story!
We sold all morning. Jack had sold more than half of his 100 and I sold all of my 60 papes. At around noon we decided to go to Tibby's for lunch. We sat with Race and two boys who I had yet to meet.
"Davey, Les. Dis is Bailey. Bailey, dis is Davey an' Les Jacobs," Jack introduced. When he said 'Jacobs' I realized that they were Sarah's brothers. And they did not look to happy to see Jack with a girl other than Sarah.
"It's nice to meet you, Bailey," Davey said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You, too," I replied, trying to be nice. The table filled with silence as Davey stared me down. I stood my ground and just stared back at him. Suddenly, he turned away and looked at Jack.
"How could you? You just broke up with Sarah, don't you think your moving a little fast?" Davey was shouting at Jack, and Jack pulled him out of the resturant behind him.
"Sooo, That went well," I said more to myself than anybody else and everyone around me burst out in laughter.
"Ya got dat right," Race said.
"I don't see whats wrong wid ya. I think Davey's got problems," Les said after he stared at me for a while, just like Davey.
"Well, I appreciate the fact dat you know dat dere ain't nothing wrong wit me, little man," I said and ruffled his hair. "As for Davey havin' problems, I'd hafta get ta know him betta ta know dat, but he shoah does have a problem wit me."
Davey and Jack re-entered the resturant. Jack sat down while Davey grabbed Les and hauled him out of Tibby's. Jack didn't talk to anyone, he just ate his lunch. We all sat around talking before Jack got up and left. I looked after him and actually thought about following him, but Race stopped me telling me he needed his space.
Race then invited me to go to the races with him and I decided to go, try and get my mind off of things. The place was packed with people. There was barely enough room to move through the crowd. I lost Race a couple of times, but he always managed to find me.
We stayed there all afternoon and into the evening. We got dinner from a vender just outside of the racetrack. Race didn't win any money, but he didn't mind too much. He just loved being there.
We started home and met up with Mush, Pie eater, and Dutchy. We all talked and laughed on the way home. When the boys started talking to Crutchy and some other people I hadn't met yet, I went inside.
I found Angel sitting next to Jack and Spot by himself so I decided to sit by Spot. When I walked over to them I said, "Well, if your gonna talk ta my guy den I'll just talk ta your guy," and I sat down next to Spot, smiling.
"Ah da uddas back yet?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, dere outside talking te some guys who were walkin wit Crutchy." I said smiling at Jack.
Angel stood up and started walking to the stairs, but Jack grabbed her arm and said, "Wait where ah ya goin'?"
"Let her go, Jackey-boy," Spot said smiling at Angel and she ran downstairs.
"So, Spot, what ah ya doin' here?" I asked.
"Well, dis an' dat. Besides, Angel missed ya." Spot said grinning at me.
"ha ha, that's very funny. We both know dat she didn't miss me because she was only gone fer a day!" I said laughing.
"Yeah, well. I think she did," Spot mumbled.
"Maybe she was naggin' ya too much and ya wanted her ta nag me some," I joked.
"Ah you two done. Dere's somethin' we gotta talk 'bout," Jack said, making both Spot and I jump a little; we had forgotten he was even in the room.
"Yeah, yeah. What is it?" Spot turned his attention to Jack.
"Well, Flash told me taday dat Trevor is tryin' ta kill Ang. Evah since she broke dat bottle ovah his head, he don't like her no more," Jack laughed slightly.
"I'll go get Ang so we can all talk 'bout dis," I said and walked out of the room before either of them could protest.
"We gotta talk." I said grabbing her as she got up the stairs.
"'Bout what?" She asked annoyed.
"Trevor," I whispered.
"He hasn't done anything has he?" She suddenly looked frightened.
"No, well kinda. He's looking ta kill ya," I ment to tell her gently but it just came out in a rush.
"How do ya know he's gonna kill me?"
"Let's go in yer room. Flash told Jack yesterday. He came ta tell da rest what he hoid from him."
We went to her room to talk. Jack came in also to tell her about Trevor's plan. "So he's been goin' round an looking fer anyone dats seen ya. I think afta ye broke de bottle ova his head, he kinda ye know...don't like ya anymore."
"Well dats an up." she said sitting on her bed. "So whudd am I gonna do? Just stay in de Lodging House cuz he's afta, me ta kill me?"
"I ain't sayin dat. Ya just gotta be careful. Not ta mention da thing I hoid bout from Shadow…dat ain't a good sign when some guy ya don't even know kisses ya." Jack said slightly smiling.
"Look dat ain't funny!" she said irritated.
"Whoa ye neva said anything bout dat te me!" I wined wanting to hear the whole story, but knowing I wouldn't get it from Angel.
"Well dats cuz I hoid it happened taday." Jack said to me.
"Oh…I see… an ya don't even know him?" I asked.
"All I know is his name…well an before we left he kinda wanned ta talk ta me…" she stood up.
"What he say?" I asked as I held Jack's hand.
"Well..he told me…that he….(mumble)."
"What?" I asked giving her a funny look.
"He said he…he loved me." she said collapsing on her bed. "I can't take it anymore!" she yelled covering her head with a pillow.
"Whats wrong?" I asked taking her hand.
She uncovered her face. "I made a mess of things an now look…my life is fallin apart!"
"Oh c'mon, you've survived worse." I smiled standing up.
"I'd like ta think dat too!"
"Look how far you've come. You'll figure it out soona or lata." I smiled taking Jack and leaving the room.
