Authors note: well this is a story about a rich girl finding out about the
live of the
newsies. No Clara is not me she's just a character I made up.
"Miss, please try to stay with me there are a lot of people here" huffed a very plump women." I'll try, Ruth" Smiles the young Brunet who's name was Clara. Clara was no ordinary girl she was the daughter of a rich businessman. She and her nanny occasionally took trips to the city, far away from her suburban surroundings. Her father didn't approve of this, but he knew that she loved these trips so he never said anything. Clara's mother passed away when she was very young. Her father never talked about her mother, it hurt him to talk about it. So Clara never asked. Ruth was the only mother she has ever known, she took care of her after her mother died.
"Get yeah paper, Extra, Extra read all about it baby born with two heads" yelled a small boy with golden brown hair.
"Ruth, may I buy a paper" Asked Clara anxiously.
"What for, you know your father gets one every morning".
"I know, but that boy looks like he needs the money" Clara asked with puppy eyes.
"Alright alright I guess it couldn't hurt, your just like you mother always trying to do good deeds"
" Really I'm like my mother" Clara asked.
"Of course, your mother was a kind soul".
Clara went over to the small boy "hiya miss, buy a paper" the little asked with a smile. "Sure why not, what's you name" asked Clara
"Les, what's yours" Clara handed him a dime
"Clara" les gives Clara her paper. "Aren't you kind of young to be working"
" I suppose, well it was nice meeting you and thanks for the dime " less walks away but doesn't see the carriage coming and gets hit.
Clara runs over to les "are you alright".
"I think my legs broken"
Clara waves Ruth over "Ruth please calls a cab, I think we better take him home".
"I don't think you father will like that" Ruth says but calls a cab anyway. Clara carries les into the cab and they head for home. Ruth and Clara manage to get les into a guest room. "Ruth please call Dr. Roberts"
"Yes, miss"
"Les are you alright," asked Clara anxiously
"My papers, I forgot my papers, my fathers going to be mad"
(Chuckles)" Don't worry I'll pay for all the papers"
"You're a nice lady Clara"
"Why thank you, I think I better call your father"
"We don't have a phone"
"Oh, well if you tell me your address I could go over and give him the money and tell him that you'll be staying at my house, until you get better"
"Alright, it's 345 Manhattan blvd., it's a red building"
"Alright" Clara says writing down the address.
"Miss, the doctor is here" Ruth whispered
Clara walks into the hallway and closes the door
"I hope the boy will be alright," Ruth says with teary eyes
"I'm sure he will," Clara says hugging Ruth. Dr. Roberts comes out. "Well it's a sprained ankle, luckily that carriage wasn't going that fast. Just let him rest"
Clara shakes his "thank you doctor"
Clara and Dr. Roberts walk down the stairs "know Clara I'm wondering where you found the boy, I don't remember you having a brother"
"Oh, I was buying a paper from him and he got hit, I wasn't going to leave him in the streets" Clara opens the door
"I guess not, but keep an eye on him, and tell your father I said hi"
"Alright I will" Clara closes the door and goes upstairs
"What did the doctor say" les asked with tears in his eyes "am I going to die"
Clara comes over to his bed and fluffs his pillow "don't be silly, you just have a sprained ankle"
"Oh" relieved
"Well I'm going over your house right know, okay" clara tells him with a smile
"Okay" Les says with sleepy eyes. Clara hurries into her coat and tells her driver the address. She notices the change in scene from the beautiful suburban setting to a ghetto area. The driver stops at a red building. "Well this is it miss" the driver tells Clara "should I wait here. "Yes, thank you". Clara gets out of the cab and walks to the door. She can hear a lot of yelling inside. She slowly knocks on the door "who is it" somebody yells and yanks the door open "can I help you" asks a tall guy with curly hair
"Yes are you lesses brother"
"Yes, do you know where les is"? the guy shouts
"Can I come in"?
"No tell me where les is". A girl about Clara's age walks over and shoves David away
"Yes come in"looks at Clara's beautiful clothes then at hers "would you care to sit down
"Yes" Clara sits at the nearest chair. She looks around and sees that the guy at the door has already sat down and next to him sat a handsome guy with a cowboy hat. She also notices a man and a women who where very old. Clara automatically knew that they where lesses parents. "Hello I'm Clara" extends a hand to the man and the women. They shake it. "Do you know where our son is?" the mother asks with tears in her eyes
"Yes, he's at my house" everybody looks at her with a puzzled look "he got hit by a carriage, but he's alright"
"Is he hurt"? whispers the mom
"He has a sprained ankle and the doctors say he will be alright"
"Thank heaven" relieved
"I was wondering if he can stay at my home for a while, until he gets well"
"Absolutely not" Yells the mother
"Darling think about lesses health, he'll be better off at her home" says the father
"Yeah mother" chimes in the sister
"Well I guess until he gets better, but you better treat him right or I'll poke those pretty little eyes of your out"
Clara laughs "alright"
"Only one problem" says the dad
"Who is going to sell Lesses papers, where barely making ends meet"
Clara remembers the money and hands it to the dad
The father looks suprised "What's this"?
"Oh this is for lesses papers today, is it enough"
"We can't take this"
"Please do"
Looks at the money and decides to take it
"Sorry I over reacted at the door," the guy says extending his hand
Clara shakes it " it's okay, I didn't catch you name"
"Oh it's David and this is my friend Jack" David points at the handsome guy next to him
"Hi" spits in his hand and extends it
"Ummmm" looks in her purse for a hankie, finds it and shakes his hand
Jack gives Clara a weird look then laughs
"And yours" Clara looks at the girl
"Oh Sarah"
"That's a pretty name, I was thinking maybe I could sell lesse papers for him"
Everybody looks at her "what"
"I think I can, since you don't seem to like charity, I'll work"
"Miss you don't have to do that, David can just sell more papers"
"And I can help Davey" jack says with a smile
"But I want to"
"No offense but you don't know how to sell papers" Jack tells Clara
"I could learn, you could teach me"
the father interrupts Clara before she could say more "it's okay Miss, David will sell his papers"
"Well I guess I should be going" Clara heads for the door with a gleam in her eyes.
