Chapter 7: Kitty and Mack: A Love Story

Eddie McCormick, who was nicknamed Mack, was an athlete. He was into basketball, track, but mostly baseball. He had an attitude problem, but everyone still likkeed him. However, Kitty changed that. She had moved in with her grandfather Duke who owned a barbershop.
One day in class, Kitty read a love poem dedicated to Mack. He fell head over heels in love with her. He talked about her all the time and dplanned their future. When around her, he pretended to be a laid back kind of guy. One unfortunate evening, when Mack was waiting for Kitty at a train station, there was a drive-by and they shot Mack. In the end, they had to amputate his leg.
After the operation, Mack would isolate himself in the room. Not even, Kitty was allowed to call him, only his friends were allowed. Kitty got sick of his behavior and put up a sign at her grandfather's barbershop saying she was waiting for him. She wouldn't even go to school. Days passed by and one day he showed up. He said he wanted to lead his life without anybody else telling him. Kitty still waited for him. People started to worry about Kitty and encouraged Mack to go to her. He arrived without crutches with an artificial foot. Mack told Kitty she needed a man. Kitty knew she had a man, Mack. Finally, they reunited.
