TKAM#7 Boo Radley

I watched Jem as he slept. I care about the Finch's deeply. I love them. I followed them to protect them after the pageant. Bob Ewell attacked them and almost killed Jem. I stabbed him with his own knife and took the children home. For years the kids would come by my door. They feared me. They didn't understand that I was their shadow. I was there to protect them.

Jem's elbow was completely broken. I wish I could've done more sooner. I stood around as Heck Tate talked to Atticus. He tried to convince Atticus that Bob Ewell fell onto his own knife. Atticus was convinced that Jem killed Bob Ewell. He was being awfully stubborn. Scout was happy to see me. She led me to Jem. I ran my hand over his hair.

I will always look over Scout and Jem. Scout walked me home that night and I hurried into my dark lair and let go of the night. I had showed myself to the children but I will now go back to my old ways. The children are safe. Bob is dead.
