This is my first story so sorry if there are a lot of mistakes and thank you for reading my story.
And from now until forever I don't own newsies...... unfortunately.
Chapter 1
I ran as fast as I could up the fire escape. I knew my brother James would be home from work any minute and he would not be happy that I had snuck out again.
"Shit", I yelled, as I fell and banged my knee on the cold metal stairs. I got up as quick as I could and although now my knee was throbbing I had to get back in time. 'Why was I always so clumsy?' I thought as I lifted the window to our tiny Chicago apartment. I climbed through the window and came face to face with James. He looked furious. I'd snuck out plenty of times in the past and he hadn't caught me. But unfortunately it was the second time this week that he had, I guess I was getting careless.
"Where the hell were you this time?" he said angrily as if he were ready to burst.
"I went out for your information. What do you think you can just lock me in here for days?" I said icily.
"Its not safe why don't you ever fucking listen! You can't just go ignoring me. I don't want what happened to them to happen to you too."
"And what did happen to them?" I said knowing that we had had this conversation many times before but yet he still wouldn't tell. He glared at me. I knew I had brought up a sore subject but I really didn't care. I hated how he thought he could control me. "They were my parents too I have a right to know! But you have to think your helping by not telling me. Well locking me in this damn apartment all day doesn't help one bit. I'm fricking sick of you not letting me do anything and being so overprotective. Why don't you just leave me alone and let me live my own damn life!" I yelled right in his face. I watched his reaction and he looked a lot madder then before. Apparently I'd hit a nerve...
"Thats it I've had it with you. I raised you since you were 5. I spent 10 years of my life sharing everything I ever had with you. I protected you from the pain I have to bare. You would think you would be glad that I did all that for you, but instead you go sneaking out and blaming me for everything. All you are is an ungrateful little bitch. You don't deserve anything."
I glared up at him staring into his blue-green eyes that currently looked like a stormy sea with golden flecks. The same as mine. I reached out to slap him before I even realized what I was doing. He caught my arm in a steely grip and hissed, "If your not going to listen to me then fine I'm not going to put up with it anymore. I'm sending you to Aunt Linda's." I defiantly hadn't expected this.
"You don't even know Aunt Linda why would you send me there?" I asked suspiciously.
"Because it would be safer for you there and because I wouldn't have to worry about you or support you and maybe I could finally have a chance to live my life," he said.
"Fine!" I said extremely annoyed at him, as I stomped off to pack my bags.
