Author's Note: Ok...whew! Finally able to start my second fanfic. I wanna say an extra thanks to Brunette, ilovecherries123, LadyRach, and ducks-go-quack-00 for reviewing my first story "Baby It's Cold Outside". I had a lot of fun writing that one, but then had a total writer's block afterwards. So I'm finally able to write another story. Hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Jack from newsies (too bad) but I do own Ice and Hope from this story, and any other non-Newsie characters I make up in future chapters of this story. I also do not own the story outline of the movie "Ghost" (great movie by the way if you have never seen it!) This story is just kind of based on that movie.
There he was again. Always in the same spot. Always waiting for closing time at Medda's.
Ice leaned against a brick wall and took a long drag of his cigarette in the cold December weather. He had his grey coat wrapped tightly around him, and a pair of gloves with no fingers on them. Ice could handle the cold weather though. That's how he had gotten his nickname. Jack had found him huddled under a bridge one day while selling papers. His hair, eyebrows, and clothes were covered in frost and ice.
After rescuing him, Jack and Ice became the best of friends, and Jack appointed Ice as his right-hand man in his reign of Manhattan. Little did Jack know that Ice had an even colder heart than his name.
So there he was again. Waiting for her to exit Medda's.
"Bye Medda! See you tomorrow"
Ice looked up to see Hope wrapping her coat around herself and placing a scarf around her neck.
"Hello gorgeous…what's new?" Ice asked in a big-shot manner.
"Nothing new with you Ice. I told you we were finished a long time ago" Hope replied sharply, and she began walking away.
Ice grabbed her wrist and pulled her back quickly. "How's bout something for the road?" he asked with venom in his voice. He pulled Hope into a rough kiss. Hope frantically pushed him away from her and slapped him hard across the face. She looked at him with pure disgust.
"I can't believe you Ice!" she yelled. "I can't believe you're betraying Jack like this! I'm with him now, not you! I never want to see you standing outside of Medda's again. If I do, I will have to tell Jack and the authorities. Goodbye Ice."
Ice stood there face to face with her. He replied with a smirk "You'se think that you'se can get rid of me just like that? Well baby, you'se got another thing comin."
"Ooo. What are ya gonna do?" Hope asked getting right in his face.
"Oh you'se just wait baby. When we were together I told ya's I'd never leave ya. I certainly can't break a promise now can I?"
"But we're not together anymore Ice" she snapped back. She was tired of this stupid game he was pulling. "I'm with Jack, and if that irritates you because you two are friends, well then that's your and Jack's problem, but YOU leave me alone." She left it at that and walked away.
"Oh your right baby. I guess it its Jack and my problem." He began walking back to the brick wall, and he lit another cigarette. "Guess I'm just gonna have to fix this problem."
