Day 29 Chapter 31


Chapter 31


Grant told the kids that they had to stay on their knees until he told them to get up, he couldn't stop thinking about what was going on with Jefferson, he then begin to questioned himself into why he's not with him and why did he make Jefferson feel as if God isn't real and that he said that he should listen to Reverend Ambrose because he is a smart man ans that he knows everything about God. Grant then told the kids that they can get up and that they need to come back no late then twelve o'clock, after they left, he begin to questioned himself again wondering what is going on with Jefferson at that moment. The kids came back no later then twelve and Grant told them to get back on their knees, one of the students asked him if they should pray and Grant said yes, Grant left the church so that he could walk until he lose memory if everything. Grant still begin to questioned him self about what Jefferson was doing and at that time it was twelve o'clock. Grant sat a a bus stop that is in front of Pichot's house, Grant refused to look at his watch because he knew that it would upset him knowing that Jefferson was going to die or probably been dead at that time. While Grant was walking back to the church he was looking at her house to, he was thinking if she knew that it was over. As Grant was close to walking in the church, he see a car driving slow which was Paul, when he got out , he was telling Grant how Jefferson was being the strongest man there. He told him that he was shacking a little but he was still the strongest man there, Paul asked Jefferson what else did he wanted to say before he was going to be deceased, and he said that tell is nanan that he was walking straight, which he did. Paul told Grant that he is a good teacher and Grant denied that statement because he thinks that Jefferson did it on his own, but it was actually Grant that got him through everything. Paul told Grant that he would like to be his friend and that he would be there anytime Grant needed him, Grant said thanks and he went back to the church, when he went in the students raised from being on their knees for the longest, Grant walked to his desk and begin to cry.
