Newsie family
I don't own Newsies in any way.
My family dumped me at an orphanage, so I thought that no one wanted me…until I met the newsies. The Manhattan ones to be exact.
*flashback*
I sat on a curb crying.
"Youse okay?" a voice asked.
I looked up into the eyes of my future boyfriend Racetrack Higgins. "No", I said sniffling.
He sat beside me. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"My family didn' want me", I said.
He stood up and said, "Ise know who will". He held out his hand and I took it. He helped me up and took me to the lodging house.
I had seen it before.
We entered and two boys went running by.
"Ise gonna kill youse Mushy!" a blonde boy yelled.
"No runnin' in da house!" an older boy yelled, "Good Lord". He looked at us. "Heya Race", the boy said.
"Dis is…" the boy called Race looked at me.
I thought up a name. "Cheetah", I said.
"Heya Cheetah. Ise Ace. Da leadah around heah", he said.
"Are youse like da daddy around heah?" I asked.
"Ise guess youse could say dat", Ace said. I ran and hugged him.
"Ise love youse already", I said.
*present*
I walked into Tibby's and got a big hello from all the boys. I walked over to Race's booth and sat next to him. I turned to him and kissed him.
He kissed me back.
"A'ight! Ise tryin' ta eat!" Mush said.
We broke away and Race gave me another kiss, this time shorter.
"Ise can' help dat Ise love Italians", I said.
Mush stuck his tongue out at me.
"Love ya too Mushy", I said.
Jack walked in and kissed the top of my head.
"Hey big bro. What wese doin' tanight?" I asked.
"Goin' ta dinnah at da Jacobs' apahtment", he said.
"Again?" I whined.
"Youse love Mrs. Jacobs' cookin'", Jack said.
"Ise do. Its yer prissy goilfriend Ise don' like", I confessed.
"Fine. Ise will tell 'er youse sick", Jack said.
I kissed his cheek and said, "Tank youse". I got up, Racetrack following.
"Where wese goin'?" he asked.
"Da mahket", I said, "Ise cookin' tanight".
Racetrack whined.
"What?" I asked him.
"Can' Stah do it?" he asked lightly kissing my neck.
"Race, she's done it 3 nights dis week and Glittah did it da oddah 2 nights. It's my toin. Honestly, Ise don' know how you guys would make it widout us", I said.
"Me neiddah", he said.
"Go talk ta da boys and ask how many Ise can expect", I told him.
"Do Ise hafta?" he asked, pouting.
"Ise need ta get da poations right. Now go!" I said.
"Okay. Will youse miss me?" he asked.
"Of course babe", I said.
He pecked me on the lips and ran off to Tibby's.
I rolled my eyes. I have a crazy family, but I love them.
