Burton has by now realized that maybe he was getting too close to Stanton. All the watching and learning he did at the begining has finally caught up to Burton. He finds that maybe he didnt want to know everything about Stanton, but now its too late. He's dug himself into a giant hole with no way out. Burton has to stick it out with his lips shut and chin up. Burton has found himself in a whirlwind of troubles and complete confusion and unsure of what to do.
In the begining of chapter 5, as the paternity questions begin, it shows just how uncomfortable Burton really is. On there way to see Momma Stanton makes the statement that Fat Willies daughter must have a paternity test. At this point Stanton tells Burton that he must be the one to tell Fat willie. Immediatly Burton says he was shivering. He askes "Why me?" But it was left up to Willie in he wanted to talk to him. Burton is left in an unfomfortable situation in which he wants to have nothing to do with it. Burton can't believe that the Stanton hes been so close to might possibly have done something of this extent. Perhaps there is still more for Burton to learn about Stanton that he has no clue about. Maybe Stanton isn't the good guy he appears to be.

I think I know what you are trying to say--that Burton is pretty confused right now and isn't going to walk away when he is unsure of where he stands. You just need to focus your thoughts a bit better.
