Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine your girlfriend's brother, who also is your best friend, taking drugs. Imagine someone as close as your brother selling drugs. In the book That Was Then This Is Now all these things happen. It is up to one person to figure out what is happening. Why is everyone changing? Where is M&M? Why is Mark acting so strange?
Bryon and Mark are not brothers, but they are like brothers. Mark lives with Bryon's mom and Bryon. Mark's parents were drunk so they started to fight and they killed each other. Bryon's mom felt sorry for Mark and she took him to live with Bryon and her.
Mark and Bryon always go to the bar to go see their friend Charlie. They go see him even if they are only sixteen years old. Charlie is around 22 years old. Charlie is a very nice friend. What Mark and Bryon don't know is that they are in huge trouble. When they got out the bar when they got in to the alley next to the bar some guys attacked them. What they weren't sure of was if those guys had guns. Then Charlie came out to help them. Then suddenly he fell to the floor. The guys ran away. When Mark and Bryon checked his head it had a bullet through his head. After that incident everything changed. Mark and Bryon went to go see their mom at the hospital because she got really sick. Anyway she told them that there was a 16 year old boy across the room like who was really hurt. He never has anyone visiting him. Bryon went to go eat something at the lobby first. When he got there, there was a girl who called his name. He didn't now who it was. To his surprise it was Cathy, M&M's sister. M&M is one of Bryon's closest friends They talked a lot. So Bryon Thought she was really cute so he asked her to the school dance.
When Bryon went to go see the kid the kid told him why he was in the hospital.
He said it was because when he went the store these guys were bothering this black girl. He got really mad and then he told them to leave her alone. They let go of her and they just mugged him but they didn't fight him or anything. They just went back inside the store. Then after he asked the girl if she wanted a ride because she was waiting for the bus and it wasn't going to come till in a long time. Finally she said ok. When they were on their way she started crying so he tried to comfort her. When he got there a group of black people were there. This big guy saw that she was crying so he got mad and started asking the girl, "what did he do to you?" She didn't answer him.
He was really scared. He said, "I didn't do anything I promise". Then the big guy came and said" what if we don't believe you". Then he said, "Ask her, just ask her." The guy called from across the car, "Connie what you want me to do with this white cat?"
She said "Kill the white bastard." And sure enough they almost did.
I think this book is one of the best books you could ever read. It makes you want to never stop reading it. And what I mostly like about this book is that these kind of stuff do happen anywhere in the world
This is a really good book. If you keep on reading this book you will know were M&M is. Why is Mark acting so weird? What is going to happen in the dance to Ponyboy Curtis and Mark? And what is wrong with Bryon? What will he do that will change both Marks and his lives forever?
