her away from us boys, so she wouldn’t get hurt. She stopped him and looked right at me, “Tommy, right?” I nodded. “Tell your brother to get better, please; I’m sorry for Timothy’s actions.” With that she spun on her heel, and walked back to the car. After we won the rumble, I headed to the hospital with Luke. “Brown eyes, you think I should get a girl?” He just laughed. “Tommy, what happened to Abby?” he asked. “She has her eyes on Chris.” I mumbled. When we arrived, Jack was asleep. The nurse said he had surgery on his arm. We left and went to the Ribbon. I had blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and I was pretty built; I could take down anyone I wanted to. Most people would call me “shy guy”. We arrived at the Ribbon; I kept thinking of Angel and her long red hair with bright green eyes. I joined Jimmy and Skippy on Jimmy’s truck. I downed two beers and lit a cigarette right when Skippy nudged my arm, saying “Isn’t that Angel?” I looked up to see Angel making her way towards us. “Yea, hold up!” I said, jumping off the truck to catch up to her. “Angel, darling, how may I help you?” I asked acting like Timothy. She smiled “Can I hang with you? Timothy won’t leave me alone.” “Of course, stay by me, the boys will leave you alone.” I said while putting an arm around her. She was scared. You could see it in her face, and only God knows why. As I lead her to the truck, I look up to see a very mad Timothy making his way over to us yelling Angel’s name. Photo by: Amber MacLeod
