Chap. 11

When I got back, Three was sitting on Dolly's bunk with her. I noticed that she looked pretty mad. She also was talking loudly, which was unusual for her. As I came over, I heard her say:

"-think she is? Coming in and trying ta take him. I was lucky ta be dere!"

I sat down next to Three, who quickly informed me of what had happened.

After David had left the booth and gone with us, it was just Sarah, Jack, and Three. They were almost all done, too, and Three was wondering how they were going to tell Sarah to take a hike, without being mean. Jack told Sarah that Three and him had to be going, but it was nice to see her again. She then asked to go with them, because what else did she have to do. Jack looked at Three, who didn't look very happy about it, and reluctantly agreed. They walked around Manhattan, going all over and seeing a lot of the sites.

"In fact," said Three, "we saw you, Sweets. Were you crying?"

"Long story," I said. She shrugged and continued on.

About a half hour ago, they were on their way back to the Jacobs' apartment. Right before they got there, Sarah said that she forgot her shawl at Tibby's that afternoon.

"Why didn't she notice dat earlier? I thought to myself." Three said.

Sarah asked Three if she could go get it for her, since it was only a block from the apartment. Jack didn't want Three to go alone, but Sarah insisted that she would be ok.

"So controlling!" said Three.

Jack agreed after some convincing from Sarah, so Three went back to the restaurant, where there was no shawl at all. Three ran back to the Jacobs' apartment, and walked up to room 51. At the door, was Sarah right about to kiss Jack! Three walked up to them, and asked what they thought they were doing. Jack looked relieved but somewhat guilty that Three was there, and Sarah looked angry that she hadn't gotten what she wanted. All the way back to the Lodging House, Jack had been trying to explain that Sarah had been the one to try and kiss him, not the other way around. He also apologized numerous times to Three for not listening to her warnings.

"Dat's what happened. Now I don't know what ta do 'bout Jack, do ya think he was telling da truth?" She asked Dolly and me.

"I think he was. Why would he do something like dat, it seems odd ta me. I would believe him." I said, convincing myself that what I was saying was true.

Dolly shook her head and frowned. "I wouldn't believe him; doesn't he have a way of improving the truth?" Three started to snivel and hid her head.

I knew we were all thinking the same thing- Dolly probably knew what she was talking about way more than me. She had a lot more experience in the boy department. Three rested on the bed with her head down.

"I told him dat I believed him because he sounded so truthful, but now…" She paused and looked up at us. "I think I'se gonna go talk wit him 'bout it." She went to stand up, but we stopped her.

"You have to let him come over to you, or at least wait 'til tomorrow." Dolly said.

I then said, "He should know how ok you are wit him being friends wit Sarah." She went to object, but I continued on. "Just friends, nothin' more."

Three agreed to wait until tomorrow to talk with Jack, when they were selling their papes. I didn't like what Jack did, or was going to do. I told Dolly that I was going somewhere for a little bit, and left her to comfort Three.

haha... I think that last line is funny, I just left Dolly to talk w/ Three who was basically bawling and walked away. Don't worry! I swear I have a good reason for doing it!
