That morning when I woke up my head had a heartbeat. My stomach was bruised and also covered in something but when I tried to sit up to see what it was there was too much pain and I was forced to lay back down. But feeling around I could tell it was a bandage. I could also tell that this wasn't my bed and it wasn't my lodging house. Jack was gonna flip out. He doesn't know where I am, I don't even know where I am. I don't know where this bandage came from. The last thing I remember is....
"Hey your up." Yep there he is. That's the last thing I remember. Spot.
"Uh..yeah"
"Ya feelin any better?" He said walking over to me and buttoning up his shirt. It must have been early if he wasn't out selling on a Thursday.
"A little, I guess. What time is it"
"Eh a little past 11"
"Shouldn't you be out sellin?"
"Nah I took the day off, hadda make sure you woke up ok an' all that"
I shifted around in the bed a little
"Where am I?" I asked
"Brooklyn" he smirked and went over to the small mirror on the wall and started running a comb through his hair.
"What you got your own house or something?" I asked noticing we were in a room with one bed a dresser, mirror, small bathroom, and a window.
"No this is the Brooklyn lodging house"
"You all get your own rooms here?"
"No, only I gets my own room"
"And why are you so special?"
"Because" he said smirking and then turning to look at me "I'm spot Conlon"
I sighed "you must love saying that"
"Yep I really do" he said moving on to rolling up his sleeves to his elbows. I held my breath and pushed back the pain and sat up and then stood up, It took me a second to catch my balance but I stayed up well enough.
"Woah woah where are you goin?" He stepped over to me and reached his hand out in case I was going to fall, I waved him off.
" I have to go back to 'Hattan, jacks already gonna kill me since I wasn't there this morning I might as well be there when he gets back. It'll give me enough time to come up with a lie about where I was"
"Yeah, no way. Youse is not ready ta walk all the way back yet"
"Are ya kidding me? Do you know how much trouble I'm in? I have to go"
"Nah we can getcha out of that" He was so chill about this. How was he so chill? I almost laughed and how small of a deal he thought this was.
"Umm no ya can't. You are the trouble I'm in. Youse is in just as much trouble as I am"
"Me? Whatever for?!" He said jokingly putting his hand on his chest and gasping
"This ain't a joke spot! I was out later than I shoulda been, I got soaked, I was with you of all people, I went home with you, I slept in your bed!" I was getting really worked up. I took a breath and put my hand up to my head. " thanks for saving me spot but I have to go"
I walked out of the room and navigated out of the house and home.
