All I have left (Jack Kelley one-shot)
Part 1
I don't own Newsies in any way.
It's been a year since he left. All I had left was his red bandana and the memories. I wandered around Manhattan, when I came across Tibby's. I hadn't even realized that I wandered that deep into Manhattan. I walked over to Tibby's. I opened the door and was flooded with memories. I looked to the corner, his booth. I noticed Spot. I walked over to the booth.
He looked up and said nothing. He just stood and hugged me.
I hugged him back tightly. "You're all I have left of him", I whispered to him.
He stroked my hair and lightly pressed his lips to my neck.
"Daze!" voices yelled.
Spot let go and I was attacked with hugs. I looked at Kid Blink and kissed him on the lips.
He went stiff.
I stepped back and he fell to the floor on his back. I laughed and hugged Racetrack.
"Missed you Daze", he said.
"Me too Race", I said.
Next, was Mush.
I hugged him the longest.
He was my brother after all.
The boys stopped and looked at my neck.
"The bandana", David said.
"He…left it on my bunk, before he decided to leave", I said, "I have to go".
"I'll come with you", Spot said.
"Okay", I said.
I led Spot to my flat.
"You live alone?" he asked.
"Not quite", I said.
"Mama!" a little voice yelled. A girl with chocolate brown pigtails came running up to me.
"Spot, this is my daughter", I said.
"Is she?" he asked.
"Yeah", I said, "Hazel. Why don' you go play, while me and Uncle Spot talk?"
"Otay mama", she said running off.
"Her smile is just like his", Spot said.
"I know", I said, "It's nice to have something left of him".
"I'll be here for you Daze", Spot said.
"I know you will Spot. Jack would want it that way", I said.
"Do you think he'll ever come back?" Spot asked.
"To tell you the truth, I don't think so", I said.
