Hey another newsie story yet again yet it is slightly sad but
slightly happy! I don't own any of the newsies. I do own Rose (that is
her newsie nickname). Well I hope you like it please Review!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 1
Rose stood on the roof of the Brooklyn Newsboy's lodge house, overlooking the city as she watched the sun go down the orange mixed with the lavender it looked like a painting. Rose often did this so she could think about what her future will be like, all she knew was that she wanted to be with Spot and sing, but only one of those two things will ever come true, and it was that she was going to be with Spot not that it was a bad thing it was just there is no future in being a newsie I mean lets face it we hardly earn money, the bulls are always waiting for us to break a rule and you always feared for you life wondering if tomorrow you might get beaten into a bloody pulp or raped or arrested or even killed. Rose never cried she just smiled and nodded, to some she didn't even have a name she was just 'that lucky bitch who dates Spot Conlon' even though Spot didn't think of her that way he loved her and cared for her though he still had his ego and he was a bit over protected with her, he still respected her want to be a virgin till she turned 18 and she still had a year to go. Tonight everything just had hit her at once she just had lost her one friend that made sure to keep her dream alive, Raven. He always talked to her and convinced her to hold on to her dream he had saved her from being raped when they first met he was like her personal diary, she loved him, but in a different way then she loved Spot. Everything was different now it no longer mattered if she cried she had a reason to slowly one tear after another slipped down her cheeks.
Rose quietly sang a song Raven had sang to her the night before he was killed.
"Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding to all I think is safe It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over Reflecting on all of my mistakes I thought I found the road to somewhere Somewhere in His grace I cried out heaven save me But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me But I still believe there's somthing left for me So please come stay with me 'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me For you and me
Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking." Rose finished her song quietly praying to god to take care of Raven.
On the other side of the roof Spot stood there watching the one girl who could tame him, the one girl who didn't pretend to have a snappy attitude or fake being tough she just showed herself and he was happy about that. He knew she wanted to sing he had always known all those nights he had fallen asleep to her singing on the roof, though every time she asked if she could audition at Medda's he said no, he knew she would get in right away he had no doubt. He was afraid she would have no time for him in her knew life and he would lose the one girl who had showed him his true self. He could see everyone could see it her spirit was going away and if he didn't let her sing soon she would go away and tonight was the night he had to let her like Raven said before he went into an endless slumber "You have to let her sing, if you truly love her you have to let her be free." Spot watched her for a few more minutes until he decided to come out from his hiding place.
"You really want to sing don't you?" Spot said coming out from the shadows where he had hidden. "Yeah I do." Rose said turning around to face him. 'I thought so I see how you die a little everyday cause I force you to stay as a newsie, everyday I see a part of the Rose I fell in love with dying and I know the only way you can be truly happy is if I let you sing. I want you to be happy even if there is no room for me in you new life and don't tell me it is not certain that you will get into Medda's, cause I know it, I have heard you sing and you will get in, I love you Rose and I want you to do this." Spot said looking away at the sunset and Rose grabbed his chin and turned his head so he was looking her straight in the eye. "Spot I love and I will never push you out of my life and tonight you just proved how much you love me, and thank you." She said letting go of his chin she hugged him. "Do you want to sleep up here tonight?" Spot asked as he went back into the shadows and came out revealing two blankets and two pillows he laid them out as Rose watched the whole him, Soon sat down with his back against the wall as Rose sat in between his legs with her head against his chest she felt the steady heart beat soon they both fell asleep.
The Next Morning
Spot and Rose, were walking towards Medda hand in hand that night brought them closer together. "Spot I really appreciate you doing this for me!" Rose said Spot gave her hand a squeeze as the entered Irving Hall. "Medda?" Spot called into the empty. "Right here darling, and who might you be?" Medda said as she came down the steps from the stage. "My name is Rose and I was wondering if I could audition to sing for you?" Rose said kindly. "Why sure we were looking for someone to take over Sarah's spot so feel free just to sing an easy line." Medda said happily. "Thank you so much!" Rose said excitedly.
"This song is for the children crying in the night for people lost and lonely searching for the light for those who feel abandoned and don't know what to do for children everywhere we say a little prayer and we sing this song for you." Rose had finished Medda smiled brightly. "Oh dear that was wonderful! Come on I will introduce you to the crew and everything and Spot you had better get back to your job with that Medda pulled Rose away and rose just glanced back to see Spot turning around to leave. Spot was right and he knew it Rose and him were over, as he knew it.
TBC.
Please review and I will post the next chapter.
