"I'm not going ta sleep wit ya!" I quickly picked up my bag that was left on the stairs and started to walk out of the Lodging House. I stopped in my spot as soon as I felt someone grab my arm.
"Youse aint going anywhere!" I turned to face the angry Queens leader. "If Ise want sometin den Ise gonna get it. And no whore is gonna stop me from getting what Ise want." His eyes were cold as ice and I felt myself tense to his touch. Tears threatened to fall but I couldn't let this bastard see me cry. So I swung my bag at his head. He put his hand up to his head where I had hit him. "Youse are gonna pay fer dat youse stupid whore." He growled and pushed me onto the floor. He came up to me and kicked me in the stomach.
"What youse doing dere Lion?" A voice came from the door and I couldn't see who it was since tears were flooding my vision.
"Ise teaching dis whore a lesson, whats it to ya?"
"Shes one of me newsies! Ise tought wese had an understanding on not soaking me newsies?"
"Ise didn't know she was one of youse newsies. Maybe youse should keep dis one on a leash, cause all she'll be is a stupid whore!" I then felt spit come from above me and knew it was from Lion.
"Youse getting on me nerves." I heard footsteps come closer to me and i started to shake. I only trusted one person and that would be Kid Blink. But he wasn't here to save me like many other times. The person from the door picked me up and left. I could hear Lion slam his fist into something as we left. The person who had gotten me out of the Lodging House let me down and let me fix myself up a little bit. I turned around and saw a tall boy who looked the age of 17 who had a red bandana on.
"Aren't you Jack Kelly?"
"Yea Ise am and youse would be?"
"Oh, how rude of me. I'm Bridget Lee."
"Well, nice ta meet youse. Where do youse belong?"
"Nowhere. I deserve to die, but of course Blink would have nothing of that kind of talk."
"Youse know Kid BLink?"
"Yea, he's one of my best friends. We used to be neighbors before his parents died."
"Well den dat means youse can stay wit us. Cause dats where Blink stays. Dats if youse want to."
"I think that will be okay, as long as your boys try nothing."
"Don't worry, me boys are better den dese losers here in Queens." I gave him a smile and we started to walk in one direction which must mean that was the way to Manhattan. Boy, was I wrong.....
