Savior from the fog (David Jacobs One-shot)
I don't own Newsies in any way.
I ran down the streets of New York from some Bronx newsies that were chasing me. I sat down in an alley and was breathing deeply.
A figure came out of the fog.
*Jack's Pov*
I leaned down and touched the girl.
Her eyes shot up to mine. She had big hazel eyes, which were completely dilated.
"Hey", I said softly, "It's okay. Youse fine now".
She latched onto my arm.
I stroked her hair and held her tightly. I picked her up. I couldn't take this traumatized girl to the lodging house, so I took her to the Jacobs' house.
"Dear lord", Mrs. Jacobs said.
"Jack?" David and Sarah asked.
"Found 'er in an alley. Scared out of 'er wits", I told them.
David took the girl and put her on the couch.
She shyed away from him. She whimpered and looked at me.
I sat down and said, "Me name's Jack Kelley. Dis is David and Sarah Jacobs. Da Jacobs family is gonna be takin' care a youse".
"Hol…Hol…Holiday", she stuttered.
"Well, Holiday. Ise best be goin'", I said.
*Holiday's Pov*
Jack kissed Sarah goodbye and left.
David came over to me with a bucket of water. He took my hand and started washing my cuts.
I sniffed and whipped my face.
"So…what's your real name?" David asked.
"Holly", I told him.
"That's a pretty name", David said.
*David's Pov*
After getting Holly cleaned up, I read to her a bit. I picked Romeo and Juliet.
She fell asleep after the balcony scene.
I tried to get up, but she had her head on my chest and her arms wrapped around my abdomen. I settled down and marked my place in the book. I set it on my bed stand and turned the light off. I silently thanked Jack Kelley for bringing me this angel.
