Julie started to walk away when she heard Jack's voice behind her. "You will nevah understand," he muttered. "Ya obviously don't care what happens ta all these boys. I'll bet you only care about this strike 'cause you want ta get money.'
She turned, eyes livid, and stared at him for a fraction of a second before throwing herself at him. Jack fell to the ground in surprise. The other boys fell silent as her fist connected with the side of his face.
"You know that isn't true," she said breathing shallowly. "I'll bet you are the one whose only in it for the money. You're losing money every day that this strike drags on,"
"I think we should end this because I actually care what happens to these kids!" he shouted.
"Like I don't care?" she yelled, hands shaking with fury. "Who ran away when his best friend was being beat up by police officers?"
"I already told you.."
"DO NOT give me that again!"
"It's true!"
"It is NOT! You and I both know you could've helped him!"
"Julie..."
"You abandoned him and now you're abandoning us! Nothing in the world can explain that away."
"THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!" he roared.
"Yes. It. Is." she fired back.
"Why don't you just run away again?"
Julie launched herself at the boy she had once called a friend, gripping him by the throat. "What did you say?" she asked in a menacing voice. She heard Katherine gasp from the side lines.
"You're a coward," he spluttered. "You're always running."
She hit him hard in the jaw. He doubled back in pain. "You do NOT call me a coward," she hissed.
He jumped to his feet, scowling. "I told you," he said walking away. "You wouldn't understand."
