Hey guys i will be posting mostly every other Wednesday because of school and other things. So here the next chapter. And sorry about not ppstingg on wensday like i said i totally forgot what day it was.
Medda came a half an hour later with a med kit and was fixing up Jack all night. Throughout that time Race sat there watching Jacks chest rise and fall at an unsteady pace. He fear that Jack wasn't gonna make it due to his injuries. So he sat and watched him lay there waiting for some kind of change.
A few days had past and a boy finally went over to Race. He instinctively jumped when he felt something being placed on his shoulders. But when he turned he relaxed because he saw a boy with a soft smile looking at him. "I'm Mouse nice to meet you."
"I'm Race." He then looked away only to see a fuzzy multi colored blanket draped on his shoulders. "Thanks for the blanket." With out even noticing his eyes and mind drifted to thoughts of Jack and how he helped him that night. As he thought of Jack he dozed off and fell asleep.
By the time he woke up it was the next day he was hungry. He got up not even looking at Jack so he can find some food. When he came back with a apple and looked around to see all the boys asleep and a clock that read 2am. He then crawled onto the bunk above Jack only to be woken up a few hours later.
"WAKE UP RACER, WAKE UP!" his whole body was be shaken by someone. He groaned a response and roll over and ignore it until he heard Pickles, "For Christ sake Jack let the kid sleep." At that name he jumped up and look around to see Jack standing in front of him smiling. His whole face lit up as he hugged Jack.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" One of the other boys yelled causing a bunch of the kids to jump out of bed and run over to the heater. Jack, Race and Pickles stood there laughing. "I'm gonna go make sure they don't hurt each other with there craziness." After that Pickles went off to the crowd of boys leaving Jack and Race alone.
The boys jumped up on to Races and started to talk. About an hour later Pickles walked up to them with two boxes, one labeled Jack and the other Racer. They both started to open they'er gifts. Race had gotten a blue and gray cap and he also got a grey and orange blanket. Jack unwrapped to find a sketchbook with pencils and a blue and black blanket.
Little while later all the boys where sitting around the table telling jokes and playing games. The boys called Race the king of card because he never lost and while this all was going on Jack sat in the corner and was drawing. After a few games Race went and sat next to Jack. "whats that your drawing?"
"Santa Fe. You know where that is?" Jack looks at Race who shakes his head. "New Mexico. The buildings are made of clay and sky is clean and the air. The air is so fresh. And there's nobody to get it your way. I hope someday to get out of this city. This place it eats you alive."
"BOYS TIME FOR THE ULTIMATE FEAST!" Pickles yelled over all the commotion. After that boys pilled in around the table taking handfuls of food.
I'm working on this on my computer now so the spelling and such should be better and i'm not typing it up at like 1 in the morning. So that should make it better.
