"Jackie-boi, youse can't just rum away from all o' your problems. This is my LIFE we're talking about here. And the life of my child, OUR child!"
"Liz. I ain't got any money. I can barely support myself, let alone a child."
"When this child was conceived, youse said you would marry me. Now, you're just gonna dump me for some little SLUT?!"
"Tut, tut, tut! Are youse really gonna talk that way about your best friend?"
I felt my face turn white, then red with rage. "You BASTARD! You dumped me when I'm two months pregnant to date MY BEST FRIEND??!! What the FUCK is wrong with you?!"
"Switchblade. Stop shouting."
"I'LL SHOUT IF I WANT TO!! I'M THE GODDAMN LEADER OF THE GODDAMN NEWSIES IN GODDAMN QUEENS AND NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!!!"
"See, Switchblade, that's one of the reasons I dumped youse. You're too loud. That, and your best friend is the physical opposite of you. Petite, slim, and quiet. And she puts out."
"So, in other words, you don't like girls who're tall and strong and curvy and can take care of themselves. And I DID put out for you, Jackie-boi. It got me PREGNANT, remember?!"
"Yeah, but I can't take care of a child right now." He gave me an icy smile. "You understand, don't youse, Switchblade?"
"Oh, I understand, Jackie-boi" in a voice of forced deadly calm. "But do youse understand this?"
And, pulling my knife out of my sleeve, I sliced him across his right eyebrow.
"There. Just a little reminder of how your ex-goilfriend got her name, and a little reminder of the living HELL you turned my life into."
And I walked away, leaving him standing there, trying to stop the flow of blood coming from his forehead.
A/N: Yeah, OK, I know this was kinda short and crappy, but it'll get better, I promise. Anyways, I need some people to be the Newsies from Queens, so leave your CC if you're interested. I PROMISE I'll be better about putting people in than in 'One Of Those Days.' But, if you don't wanna leave it 'cause you think I ain't serious, go right ahead. I'll just cry in my corner. cries
