WAKE UP!!!! SELL PAPES!!!!
I just rolled over and tried to fall back to sleep. That was until Jack came and picked me up.
Jack put me down! I whined.
He put me down on the floor and I grabbed my cloths and headed to the bathroom to get changed.
Hurry up Loyal I got to go. Race yelled from out side.
I am going race you can hold it.
I got dressed and let Race in. Then me and the boys started singing carrying the banner to go get our papes. We waited for the headline to get posted and it was the trolley strike for the 3rd week in a row. Selling papes was going to be slow again. I was my 14th birthday in October and it it September so I was  getting excited for it to come. I was still warm outside which it better than cold in my opinion. Well I was waiting in line to get my papes Oscar came up and grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the group. He though me on the ground and kept kicking me in the stomach. JACK HELP ME!!!!!! By then they had gotten Oscar and Morris away from me but I just stayed there on the ground Jack and Race were kneeling next to Me as I just cried. Loyal, sweetheart they cannot Hurt you anymore, the other boys are giving them a good soaking just for you. What hurts me and racer will make it better. Jack say trying to calm me down. M-my st-stomach! I managed to say though tears. Jack lifts up my shirt to find a huge bruise forming.Loyal , baby this is going to talk awhile to get better okay. He said I a sweet voice that he only used for me. Race had left to beat the crap out of Oscar and Morris well me and Jack talked. Okay jacky, I will be okay, we have papes to sell! I yelled. Thats the sprit! Jack and me got to to get the other boys.
