In this chapter, we learn that a few months before, luke had wanted to kill Joey. Joey had no money to help him, so he had no choice but to do what he could to save her life. He tells us that he even thought about burying her body in the woods, but he couldn't find a place to do so. He also says that luke's behavior has changed, and that he's still the same person that he was when he was younger. He says that his father hates him because he dares not face his mother's death, and this is the reason why he hates luke. .
