Always You and I
KidBlink Parker and Digger Milne walked hand in hand into the lodging house. They had just taken a stroll thorugh Central Park. They silently walked up the stairs content in their silence. When they entered the bunkroom they kissed goodnight and went off in different directions to get some sleep.
Digger was just about to her bunk when she noticed Slingshot Jones silently crying on her bed.
"What's wrong, Slingshot?," asked Digger as she walked over.
Slingshot had arrived at the lodging house about two weeks ago, looking for a job. She seemed to be fitting in well and selling a good amount of papers everyday. So Slingshot's sadness confused Digger.
"Nutting's wrong," sniffled Slingshot. "It's all great. I gots friends and money and ..." Slingshot's words were faded out by sniffles and a new rush of tears.
"Let's go to da roof. No one will notice yer tears dere," suggested Digger, wanting to comfort her new friend. Slingshot nodded and the girls headed to the roof. They sat down against the cold brick wall.
"I'se jist upset because...well...I like Jack..a lot," said Slingshot as tears continued to fall. "But Jack is still brokenhearted ovea Sarah. She did tell 'im 'e was an insensitive bastard unworthy o' someone like 'er...dat b****. She wasn't worthy of Jack."
Digger and almost every other newsie except Jack knew Slingshot's feelings. Sarah had broken up with Jack about a month after Digger and Storm had arrived. Digger and Storm hated Sarah's too girly and stupid attitude and Sarah didn't like their tomboy ways and foul language. Digger and Storm had been relieved when Sarah dumped Jack but still felt bad for him. For two months, Jack had been distant and upset. Jack was just now starting to act like a leader again.
"Oh Slingshot, give Jack some time ta recovea," said Digger. "Dey 'ad been going out fer ovea a year. 'E thought she loved 'im but dicovered da truth only two months ago. It's gonna take some time."
"Two months seems long enough. Ugh!! I hate seeing 'im hoit like dat," sighed Slingshot as she got up and headed back to the bunkroom. "Goodnight, Diggea."
"Goodnight," replied Digger as she got up and followed Slingshot to the bunkroom.
