Kyle shot up in bed. her head hit the low ceiling of the bunk bed. "OW! Where am i? who are you? why does my head hurt?" she screamed. david came over with a cold compress. she grabbed it and held it too her head. she let out a sigh as the swelling began to decrease. david mom came over with a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
"Thank you, Mrs…" it was then that Kyle realized that she didn't even know this lady. the lady was either very trusting or very foolish. she hoped that it was the first.
"My name is Jacobs. Mrs. Jacobs. this is my son David, and Les. And this is Sarah." they all seem nice enough, but there was a problem , kyle never trusted at first sight.
Jack helped her sit up and walked her over to the table to eat. After about a minute kyle was done with the large bowl of soup. she sighed and lay down contently. they left her to rest for the night. they each took shifts and made sure that she was doing Ok.
during david's shift, she started to toss and turn in bed. he laid a comforting hand on her shoulder and tucked a stray golden curl behind her ear. jack nocked softly on the door. "Hey," he said. "Hey," david replied, not looking back. "Do you think that she's your sister?" jack walked over and noticed that she was shaking , even though she was covered in many blankets. in fact, all of the blankets in the house. he took off the jacket he was wearing then he placed it on her shoulders. then self consciously he kissed her forehead in a way that he imagined a mother would.
he must have forgotten about david being there because when david spoke jack jumped. "I think that i'll take that as a yes." david chuckled and left the room. jack felt his sisters forehead and noticed that it felt hotter.
he tried to wake her up but she wouldn't budge. "DAVID! LES! SARAH! GET IN HERE!" he yelled. they all rushed in. sarah saw the problem and ran out to get some ice. les ran to get more newsies to help get her to the hospital, and david helped pick kyle up. the rested her down again when all of the blankets had fallen off. she kept trying to go into the fetal position. jack laid her out on the couch and david checked her pulse. there was a very feint heart beat, but her chest wasn't rising and falling. david did the first thing that came to mind and started to do CPR. after about a minute of that she started to breath on her own.
jack and david pitied her up again and ran to the fire escape. most of the newsies were at the bottom. "YO, JACK! DROP HER! WE'LL CATCH HER!" they trusted these guys a lot so they dropped her.
the boys acted as a cushion and carried her off to the doctors office. after all that she still hadn't woken up. they cold only hope that god was taking care of her
