^^^^^On the way back to the LH^^^^

Thoughts too many thoughts for my little brain to handle, trying to assess the situation I calmly thought of my current problems

#1- Crooks was looking for me and probably wants to kill me/ beat me severely for running away and hitting him.

Well I resolved that by hiding in Manhattan.

Then problem 2 came

#2- Manhattan and Brooklyn are very close and fight together against Crooks causing Crooks' guys to be in Manhattan and Brooklyn so I could be found…

I could resolve that by running to Midtown or Queens, but that's where problem three starts

#3- I think I like Jack Kelly a lot. Scratch that… I know I like Jack Kelly a lot…

So problem four comes around... I'm beginning to think my problems will never end...

#4- Jack has a girl friend so nothing can happen… yet I'm still in Manhattan.

Easily solved by giving up Jack… then again

#5- I like everyone too much, there was Hawk, Blush, Queens, Skip, Storm, Mush, Race, Blink, JACK. My head screamed involuntarily. I groaned. I could always control my emotions before why not now, why can't I this time?

Giving up my list, which wasn't helping me any. I walked in to the brick building sighing and still confused. A few boys turned around to see who had walked in and then turned back around seeing it was just me. I walked up stairs and collapsed on the windowsill.

"Hey ya Gem yous don't look so hot. Not feelin' well?" Mush asked genuinely concerned. I couldn't help but smile at his sad puppy face.

"No I'm fine I was just thinkin' 'bout stuff,"

"Like what?" He plopped down next to me, waiting for me to spill what was on my mind.

"Nothing that I'm gonna tell you." Like that I'm a scab! Who was working for Crooks. "It just some stuff that's been bothering me lately."

"You still worried about Jack?" He asked a little to loud for my liking.

"Hush you mouth! Yous think I want the whole world ta know." He laughed at my embarrassment.

"I wont tell no one… but I think I know the cure for your problems, at least for tonight anyway." He sounded smug.

"Oh yea and whats dat?" I challenged.

"Poker night in Brooklyn!" I shook my head violently. "C'mon it will be fun..."

"Dere aint no way I'se going to Brooklyn! Not that I don't like Brooklyn, but its just well…" Spot's one curious son of a… Mush interrupted my thoughts.

"Spot aint gonna hurt you'se.., he really aint as bad as people think."

"Yous think I'm scared of HIM??? Well yous is wrong!! I'm going to Brooklyn! So I don't want to hear another woid from you mouth about me being scared of him."

"Not another damn woid." He zipped his lips to show me. I laughed.

"Never fear Brooklyn is hear." Spot stated triumphantly announcing his presence in the bunkroom. "No applause necessary." He smirked. Jack who was smiling broadly followed him into the chaotic scene. My smiled widened with his presence. Mush pinched my leg breaking away my stare.

"For someone who doesn't want the whole world ta know yous sure make it obious." I blushed and pinched him back. He only laughed at my childish reaction.

"Well whoevers going to Brooklyn we'se leavin." Everyone jumped at Spots command. Me, Mush, Hawk, Queens, Blink, and Race, joined Spot, Jack, and the boy whos name I still didn't know from Tibbys on the walk to Brooklyn.

To be continued…Next chapters in BROOKLYN!!!! ITS DEDICATED TO LUCKY!!
