                           Chapter 28

     I was devastated that my love left. Jamie was the 

only girl of my live! Jamie was the most sweetest girl I 

have ever met. When her and Charlie left I don't have 

much anymore. I lost my best friends.

   Our factory has sure grown a lot, we have more 

business then ever before! I'm as busy as a bee in 

that factory! I'm working more than ten hours a day! 

I get paid minimum wage now and can live with a 

good amount of money. Now we own the entire 

factory. I miss my friends but i'm still with my 

brother's. 

    I really do want my friends back but I have to 

stay strong and move on. Charlie sent me a letter 

and said his leg is getting better and better 

everyday. I never heard from Jamie yet but I wish I 

did. Big Alex McDonald died from scurvy. He was 

giving to much money out and he had nothing left.

    Two months went by and finally he saw his friend 

Charlie. It appeared that he had a fake leg. A bunch 

of metal bars came up to his haunches. He wasn't 

even using crutches. This was an astonishment to 

see Charlie walking again.  

       Charlie was happy to see me but he had bad 

news. Charlie's mother died! She was only 34 years of 

age. I felt bad for Charlie, he is a good kid. So he will 

be living with me.

       Jamie sent Jason a letter the next day. It 

read,"Dear Jason, I really miss you. I have some good 

news and some bad news. The good news, our show is 

getting really big. But the bad news is I can only be 

there for a few months. So Jason I will see you soon! 

From,Jamie." 

      Two weeks went by before he would see Jamie. 

Finally, he saw Jamie. She was prettier than he 

remembered. But there was a boy with her. As Jamie 

approached the boy followed. Jason was confused, did 

she have a boy friend.

      "Hey Jason, meet my butler,Maurice." 

     Jason felt relief as she said he was her butler. 

He thought she found a new man. So they went 

down b the lake. They talked for a while asking if 

she liked where she was simple things like that. So 

Jason Felt brave for a minute and was soon to ask her 

a question that he wanted to ask her a long time ago.

       Jason asked," Jamie would you like to be my 

girlfriend." Jamie answered," yes Jason I will!" So later 

that day Jason took her to the theater. There was 

nobody even close to being as good as Jamie. They 

watched a few plays.

       It was the most fun he had in a while. After the 

play Jason took Jamie to the river. He brought fishing 

poles hoping to fish.Maybe even swim if Jamie wanted 

to.He'd figure they would eat lunch after.

       They were having so much fun they forgot to 

eat lunch. It was 9:00 pm when they got back to 

the lumber yard. Jason couldn't see anything and 

bumped into something furry. Jason heard a sharp 

growl and immediately fell to the ground in pain. 

Jason awoke in a familiar place.

        Jason realized he was in the new hospital 

across the street. Jason felt a tightness in his chest. 

Did he get stitches? Finally he saw Abe and Ethan 

walk in the tiny room that he was in almost 

claustrophobic. L"Got attacked by a dog " said Ethan. 

        It took three months for the wound to heel. 

Jason would get bored out of his mind just sitting 

doing nothing. As the sawmill progressed and got 

bigger Jason felt more useless. After Jason healed he 

heard about a game recently invented a new game 

called basketball. Jason had to try it.

        It was a few days before Jason told his secret 

fascination to anyone. He thought that he would be 

able to go to Seattle and try it. His brothers surely could 

afford it. Their business was getting to be really popular. 

He would ask tomorrow.

          Jason would be in Seattle very soon. Jason 

didn't know any of the rules. Hopefully someone knew 

them. Jason was excited to be there in the gymnasium. 

At the end of the day Jason was the best the best player 

there.

        When he was in the locker room someone came 

up to him and said "Hey, you could be the best I've 

ever seen in the game. You know, this sport could be a 

profession for you. You're great! Stay with it kid.

      Jason stayed and took the offer. He would love to 

be a pro basketball player. If he didn't he wouldn't be 

able to get back home till later. Jason kept going to 

the basketball court every day. After three   days of 

practicing hours straight the old man came up to him 

slowly and said "Hey, if you want you can go to New 

York and try out for the basketball tournaments and 

become pro."

       Jason immediately said yes. He didn't even think 

about having permission to go to New York. He 

couldn't wait to be pro. When he arrived there was a 

guide waiting for him. He didn't even want to check in 

to the hotel he just wanted to go to the court. Jason 

couldn't believe that he was in New York, where he was 

selling news papers five years ago.
