Jessie Monologue

I didn’t really know what happened during the fire. All I heard was T.J. getting injured and going to jail. Mama told me that The Logans and The Wallices were putting out the fire and how T.J. went to jail. “Mama,” I asked softly. “Why did T.J. go to jail?”
Mama put her arm around me. “Honey, he did some bad stuff. He had to be punished.” Somber and quietly, Mama woke up. “Danny, go wake up Harley and Jessie. It's time for breakfast.” Harley and Jessie were my brother sister. Jessie liked going by Jess even though he knew he would get picked on because of the nickname. He was 17 and he did not have a care in the world. Harley is the youngest out of us. She acts like she is the responsible one it the family even though she is only 9. I am the middle child. Danny Jones.
“I guess we will never know.” Pointed out Jessie. As we were walking to school, we saw someone. All of a sudden, Manny-Wills came walking up to us in a rude manner. “How you doin’ Jess?” Manny-Wills asked. Jessie ignored him. “Hey Jess, why is your name Jessie? Isn’t that a girls name?” Manny-Wills anteginised. “Shut up Manny. You can even count to ten so why you bothering me?” Insulted Jessie. “Man I was jus’ joking! Don’t take it so seriously!” Manny-Will joked. I never liked Manny-WIlls. In fact, I think he is bad news. He’s kinda a jerk to Jessie.
“Whatcha doin’?” asked Manny-WIlls.
“Going to school. What are you gonna do?” asked Jessie.
”After school, I’m going up to the Wallace store.”. Bragged Manny-Wills. The Wallace store is owned by Mr. Wallace, Melvin, and R.W. They were also known as the “Night Men.” “Man you knew what happened to T.J. so you need to stay away from them whites.” Yelled Jessie. “Man jus’ be quiet. You don’ know nothin’!” Argued Manny-Wills Jessie was fired up about what Manny-Wills said. He suddenly pushed Jessie out of the way. “What do you think you doin’?” Jessie
