Chapter 14

I sat on my bed and smoked for a while in my hotel room. I remembered an incident shortly before Allie’s death, when I wouldn't let Allie come down to the Lake on our bikes i said we were taking our BB-guns, and that we were planning on shooting things. I still feel guilty for leaving Allie out. When I went to bed I kinda felt like praying, but I didn't. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. In my pajamas, I opened the door to face the guy from the elevator, Maurice, who had returned with Sunny to collect the extra five dollars Sunny demanded. I tried to refuse, I really did but old Maurice pined me against a wall while Sunny took the money from my wallet. Maurice snaped his finger into my groin, it hurt like hell, that's when I started to insult him. Maurice slugged me in the stomach and left me on the floor. After he had left i tried to imagien myself as a movie actor and that i had been shot... how phoney was that i hate the goddam movies for god sake!!!!
