I spent the next day in bed. I had a broken rib and a broken arm. But that hurt nothing compared to the decision I was faced with.

All the guys were real sweet. I got more flowers and candy from them then I did ever before. The Brooklyn guys were especially nice. I still wouldn't look Spot in the eye but I had forgiven him...sort of.

A couple young nurses came to help me out and check my temperature. The guys really got a kick out of that. Skittery and Blink especially. Kid Blink even wen so far as to cancel his date with the mayors daughter. 

"How do you guys manage to capture the hearts of every girl in Manhattan?!" I laughed with a scoff. "Every girl cept me," I thought. 

Kid blink grinned fixing his eye patch and clearing his throat. He began to sing,

"The girls today in society

Go for classical poetry

So to win their hearts you must quote with ease

Aeschylus and Euripides

Brush up your Shakespeare

Start quoting him now."

I laughed and clapped my hands. I knew what he was saying was true. If jack Kelly recited Shakespeare i'd tell him everything about how I was right then and there and marry whether or not the feeling was mutual. Boots walked over and started singing with a grin. Everyone seemed so eager to cheer me up. I wondered if my parents would had done the same. 

I clapped my hands together as they bowed. I wondered if Shakespeare worked on boys too. Nah, probably not. 

"Have you guys seen Spot?" I asked.

"Nah. He probably headed home. Why you askin?" They said curiously.

I shrugged, "No reason, just wanted to thank him thats all."

I needed my brother more than ever. I knew now I had to make my choice on my own.

I would always choose Jack.
