Second Chances

Chapter 8- Lenny, Lenny, Lenny

After a long morning of cleaning, Arthur has been writing in his journal all morning, which has been a lot lately actually.

I head over to my horse when Lenny comes riding into camp saying "Micah was taken!" Arthur walks up saying "Well it's about damn time" scoffing.

I say "Ain't that the truth" chuckling, gaining a glare from Dutch, he then declares "Arthur, go get him, he's a fine man, you know if I go my face will be plastered everywhere!"

Arthur says "I ain't savin' that damn fool!" Dutch says, "You know he would do the same for you" Arthur says "he sure as hell wouldn't and you know it" scoffing.

I say "He definitely ain't no fine man, and he sure as hell wouldn't save anyone of us" rolling my eyes, I walk over to Sadie and say"Can you believe we have to go get that rat out of prison!" and Sadie says"I hope you ain't talkin' about Micah!"

I say "Yeah, Dutch can't get him cause of his reputation or whatnot" Rollin' my eyes, Sadie says "I can't stand that ole scraggly ratface" Arthur walks up saying "alright y/n, we're going up to the saloon if ya want to come along, see what all the fun is about haha"

I say "Never been to a saloon before, how much fun can it be?" giggling, Arthur says "It can be quite fun" letting out a gutful laugh.

I say "Well then let's go!" laughing, I get on my horse as Arthur and Lenny do the same as we ride off towards the Valentine saloon, Lenny says "I dont like Micah, he's so suspicious!" he says "Well what happened?"

Lenny says "he got into some trouble with some friends  and ended up getting the law on our trial, i ran off towards camp, didn't want no part in what Micah does"

I say "I dont blame you, kid, I dont wanna bail him out but I gotta do what Dutch tells me to do" Arthur says "If it was up to us, we'd let him rot in that cell and die" as we all chuckle.

Lenny says "He was always like 'Oh I'm doing business kiddddd' or 'Stop worrying kiddddd or 'dont worry about it kiddddd' It's so annoying! I can't stand him!"

Arthur says "Yeah Micah don't like to tell what he's doin' never" I say "NEVER" Giggling quietly even though I've only known Micah for a small time,  Arthur says "he needs to rot in that cell, I mean every word" As we continue laughing and joking around the whole trip there.

once we arrive, Arthur says "alright, we're only havin' 2 drinks, got it?" Lenny says "Got it" Chucking', I say "Am I gonna get drunk off of 2?" Arthur says "No darlin' you'll be just fine" smiling.

Arthur says "Can we get a few beers over here!" the bartender says "Awww now I dont want to trouble!!" Arthur says "You'll get none from me! I was defendin' myself!" defensively.

I laugh to myself, we all start drinking more than just 2, Arthur makes a weird face due to the stench of the alcohol.

After a bit we lose Lenny, so Arthur shouts "LENNYYYYYY!! LENNNY BOAH WHEN THE HELL'D YOU GO!?!" I shout "LENNYYYYYYYYYY! LENNNNYY" multiple times stumbling around the saloon looking for Lenny.

We eventually find him, Arthur shouts "LENNY! MY BOAH WHERE THE HELL'D YOU GO! I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOE YOU" I say "OH LENNY! WE FOUND YOUUU LENNNYY"

We're all giggling around until Lenny says "Arthur, why ain't you married?" He says sadly "Cause no one'll have me, even though this is quite a mighty beautiful woman next to me meh" lookin down sad, I say "hell I'll have ya, Arthur!" Just as drunk as the others.

We're all talking about the most random things and dancin' like a bunch of fools, Arthur goes on a rant but Lenny rambles away without us knowing so we then go on another search for Lenny, except now we're both so wasted that everyone looks like Lenny.

me and Arthur are stumbling all over the saloon looking for Lenny until I witness him downstairs shoutin' at someone on top of the bar.

I shout "LEEEENNNNNNYYYYYYY! BOAH WHAT YOU DOINNNNN!!!!" Arthur says "LENNY! WHERE ARE YOUU" I say "OH LENNYY! WHERE YOU GO!?" as we get downstairs " Arthur says "LEAVE THE KID ALONE YOU ANIMALS!"

one of the men bothering Lenny says "who you talking to!?" Arthur says "Nobody, I'm talking to nobody!!!!" I say "come onnnnnn leave em aloneeee!!!" laughing hysterically.

all the boys get into a kickline and dancin' all goofy, meanwhile, I'm over in the corner as a man is flirting with me, once Arthur sees he shouts "WIFEEEE!!! WHERE IS MY WIFEEEEE! Y/NNNNNNN" as I stumble over to Arthur laughing.

I slur "I'm your wife now huh" giggling, he slurs "Could be" and leans in but a loud clank stops his actions, I see Lenny everywhere and shout "LENNY WHERE YOU HIDING NOW BOAH!?"

Arthur says "IVE BEEN LOOKIN ALL OVER FER YOU LENNY! MY BOAHHHH!!!" the man says "I'm not Lenny, are you crazy?" and walks away.

Arthur walks up to another Lenny saying "LENNNNYYYYY7 MY BOAHH" and the woman says "Are you insane do I look like a Lenny?" I shout "DAMN IT LENNY! STOP SLOPING OFF ON MEEEE!!!" Arthur says "LENNY....YOU....BASTARD" Slipping into a room and seeing two Lennys having some fun, he runs out yelling like a lunatic.

we somehow make it downstairs as we walk to Lenny, Arthur says "AHAHAHAHHAA FOUND YA LEEENNNNNYYY!!!" the real Lenny turns him around "Arthur, Arthur! what on earth are you doing!?"

arthur and Lenny get into a Slappin contest as I just stand there rootin' for Arthur, after a bit the man that was flirting with me walks up having small talk with me and Arthur says "Awww, not you again" and takes him outside dunking his head in the water multiple times.

All three of us stumble out to the pig den fallin' all over the place, I grab him by the arm to stabilize myself but we both end up falling down, me landing on top of him.

he says "Well darlin' you've got such pretty eyes" and I go to get up, I fall again, Lenny just laughs at me not helping me, although I dont think he'd be much help.

the sheriffs see us causing disturbance so they chase after us, Arthur shouts "NEVERRRRRRR! YOULLLLL NEVERRR GET ME ALLLIIVEEEEE" While running, meanwhile I ran into the side of the building knocking myself out.

Sadies pov-

I've seen the way he looks at her, and I've seen the way she looks at him, I need to find this journal, I start searching his tent and find it hiding under his bed.

I open it reading a few words until I find a few things written about my sister, I say to myself out loud "Oh my gosh, he's fallin' for her, I... i can't believe this..."

y/ns pov-

I wake up in the jail cell saying "Arthur?" Arthur? Are you alright?" he says "huh? ughhh I wanna die" rubbing his eyes and head.

he says "Where are we, what did we do?" to Lenny, he says "I dont know?" I say "Me neither, dammit" The sheriff says "There's a fine for drunken violence in this town, lucky no one was killed" standing up.

I say "nothin happened! We didn't do anything!" the sheriff says "Stumblin' drunk around the town is harm itself, now, either of yall have 10 bucks to get yall out?" as Arthur hands him the 10 bucks.

he lets us free and we all walk outside, Lenny throws up saying "That was a quiet drink" laughing, Arthur says "first one was pretty quiet" I say "At least it got our minds off of Micah"

Arthur says "Oh yeah, forgot about him" Laughing, I say "I think we should head back to camp" as we mount our horses.

we chatted about last night, laughing mainly, once we arrived at camp, Sadie shouts "ARTHUR MORGAN!!" He says "What? what did I do now Adler?"

she says "I need to talk to you, it's important" he says "Okay, what's up Sadie?" she says "okay, so, you're fancying my sister?" Arthur almost chokes "Do what now?"

Sadie says "I know you fancy her, what's your intentions ?" he says "I... I'm sorry?" she slaps him "Stop being so damn stupid and answer the question" getting angry.

Arthur says "I...well... she a beautiful girl " Smiling softly, he adds "That's all" Smiling embarrassedly, Sadie says "I guess I'll allow it, you seem like a good guy, just know... if you break her heart, I WILL kill you" and walks off.

Arthur says to himself "Dear lord" and walks over to me, I say "Arthur? Is everything okay?" he says "Yeah...uh... she just wanted to tell me something" smiling softly.
