stand by me love story

Chapter 4 teddy your crazy

We met up with teddy and vern and the rest and we started walking

What do we need a pistol for anyway?

It's spooky sleeping in the woods we might see a bear

Or a garbage can

We started to laugh

I brought a comb

What's that for?

Well we want to look good on tv

A lot of thinking vern

Thanks

Two for flinchin'

Then teddy punched vern in the arm

Lola looked at them weirdly and took Charlotte hand

How far do you think it's gonna be?

I don't know Lisa said

If we follow the tracks into Harlow, it would be about 20 miles

Sounds about right to you, Gordie?

Yeah, it might even be 30

Maybe we should just hitchhike

No way that sucks

I agree with teddy Christan said

Thank you teddy said

Why not?

Why not?

We could follow route 7 to the Charlotte church, then down back to Harlow road

We'll be there by sundown

That's pussy

It's a long ways

Did your mother even have any kids that lived?

Yeah me and Lola Charlotte said to him

What do you mean?

Then we sang

Have gun will travel

Reads the card of man

A knight without armor

In a savage Land

His fast gun for hire

Heeds the calling wind

A solider of fortune

Is a man called paladin

Then we stopped

We have to fill up at the junkyard

My dad said it's a safe well

Not if Chopper's there

Then Carol hid behind Chris

It's ok, Carol bug he said and picked her up

We'll send you in

Will send one of girls teddy said

Hell no your not I said as smacked his arm

Ha ha very funny

I'm kind of hungry who's got the food?

Oh, shit did anybody bring anything?

Not me Gordie?

Oh, well this is great

Are we supposed to eat our feet?

You didn't bring anything either?

This was vern idea, why didn't you bring something?

Or the girls?

What am I supposed to do, I can't think of everything I brought the comb

Oh great you brought the comb, what do you need a comb for, you don't even have any hair

I brought it for you guys

Then Gordie and Andrew stopped everything

Let's see how much money we got

We sat down and got out our money

Yeah, I got $1.02

10.00 from Abigail

Did you steal that from dad Chris asked

She nodded

Good thinking Carol said

2.00 from Christian

1.50 from Carol

7.00 from Tammy

3.08 from Olivia

5.90 from Charlotte

4.10 from Lola

1.68 from Andy

.98 from Anna

And .68 cents from Chris

60 cents from teddy

7 cents, vern

I haven't found my pennies yet

Well 269.28 not bad

Quidacioluo's is at the end of that road

That goes by the junkyard

We can get some stuff there

Train coming

Then we got up

Geronimo

Sacagawea Tammy said

Then teddy just stands there on the tracks

Come on, teddy

No, uh-uh, I'm gonna dodge it

Come on, teddy, get off, the tracks, you're crazy

Train dodge, dig it

Teddy your crazy I yelled

Get the hell off the tracks, you want to get killed?

Just like the beach at Normandy

Then Chris got his stuff off and passed Carol to Gordie

Come on, man

No, no

I want to dodge the train

You asshole, you son of a bitch

Then vern and Olivia held on to teddy

And Gordie and Lisa held on to Chris

Then they kept arguing

Don't tell me what to do

I'll kill you, you son of a bitch

I'm just trying to save your life, do you want to kill yourself?

God damn it

You tried to kill yourself?

I don't need no babysitter

You do, too

Skin it

I could have dodged it

Listen, teddy, you can dodge it on the way back, man

Peace

Skin it

Then we got back on the tracks and started walking more
