The odds of crashing (Jack Kelley one-shot)
*Modern day*
I do not own Newsies in any way.
Jack sat in the terminal waiting for his flight to start boarding.
A girl sat down across from him.
Jack nervously tapped on the arm of the seat he was sitting in. Jack jumped when someone came over the PA system and said, "Flight 165 Santa Fe to New York. Now boarding". Jack stood up and got on the plane. He looked for his seat.
"C'mon Cowboy", the girl said.
Jack sat down and the girl sat down next to him. "My friends call me Cowboy", Jack told her.
"People call me Candy", she said.
The plane started moving.
Jack's breathing increased.
"First time?" Candy asked.
"Yes", Jack said.
Candy took his hand and said, "Don't worry. The odds of crashing are 10 million to 1".
"Great", Jack mumbled.
"Something tells me that you're not nervous about flying", Candy said.
"I left my best friend's sister without telling her. She was my one and only girlfriend", Jack said.
"So you're afraid to face her", Candy said.
"And David", Jack said.
The rest of the flight went smoothly.
Candy got off the plane first.
Jack tried to call out to her. He gathered his things and found a note in his cowboy hat:
Hey Cowboy,
I'm staying in Brooklyn. I'm sure you know your way around. Come find me.
Candy
Jack just smiled.
Candy added a note to her letter:
P.S. The odds of falling in love are 1 to 10.
