I finally felt free when I went outside! It was kind of weird but hey I'm glad that I did go outside because it's been quite a while and it's like I was a ghost of a dead person who suddenly is real again. But one night I heard screaming and it was coming from outside my house and I remembered the voices, it was Finch's kids. So I grabbed a kitchen knife and ran outside to see what was going on. I saw Bob Ewell standing right there hurting Jem about to tear him apart like a piece of something forgetting that he was a human. It was an inconvenient time for the kids for this to be happening to them because they were alone at night who knows what else could've happened. Bob Ewell was persecuting the kids. He was pushing Scout around and on top of her and everything and when Jem tried to save her, Scout's Halloween costume was ruined. So that's when Bob hurt Jem and so that's when I came in the picture. The kids looked at me like they knew me or recognized me, well atleast Scout knew because I look like my dad and they always talked about me and tried to figure out who I was and they finally did.
When Jem pushed Bob off of him, Bob rolled over and I put the knife up his ribs so he died. Then I took Jem home because he was unconscious and his left arm was broken. While I was just standing there, Mr. Heck Tate and Mr. Atticus Finch were talking about what happened and they were questioning Scout but she didn't remember. Atticus thought that Jem allegedly killed Bob and Heck thought that Bob killed himself but they were both wrong because I went outside and killed Bob. Finally they both consented that Jem didn't kill Bob because he is a just a kid and he was hurt himself so he couldn't do anything. I think that I did the right thing because Bob was just a mess. He made everybody's life miserable and everybody hated him and wanted him dead. Nobody felt sorry for Bob because what goes around comes around so what Bob did all this years came right back to him and he died. Heck Tate was tired of assessing Bob's death with the Finch's because it was a long night and he already had a rough day.
I can tell that Scout and Jem were in shock because I saved their lives. I'm the last person they would expect to see not only because I never came out of my house but I never really associated with the Finch's like that. When the night was almost over, I had a long talk with Scout and we got to know each other a lot more. After that we were done so she walked me home and I held her arm like a man. Then I walked inside and said bye and never walked outside again. We wanted Ms. Stephanie Crawford to see us so she can see me walking a lady like a gentlemen. When Scout left my house, she had flashbacks of all the things that I left outside on my tree and in my yard for all the kids. She realized that I did that because I was only trying to have a childhood again since I really didn't have one and I was basically locked up inside my house all my life.
