SOOO i know its been so long since ive undated or even touch FF. But IM BACK! hopefully for good now to finish this story and i promise its almost done not much longer. :)

Ive got my muse back BABY!


A Change in Events.

"Were you two out there all night?" I hear Sarah's say. I sit up and stretch trying not to wince at her voice.

"Yeah we were" Jack says looking over at me then back to Sarah

"Why didn't you wake us?" Sarah says completely ignoring me.

"Well, I didn't want to disturb nobody. Besides it's like the Waldorph out here." Jack says lightly.

"Great view" I say looking at Sarah.

"Cool air" Jack fished completely oblivious to Sarah and I glaring at each other.

"Go on the roof ill get you two some breakfast." She says flatly.

Jack gently grabs my hand and helps me up from where I was sitting. I ended up falling asleep on him last night. Whoops, We both get to the roof and eat the breakfast Sarah made for us. They end up talking about a few different things while I completely zone out due to the little sleep I got last night.


Later that night at Irving Hall

"Carrin the Banner!" Jack yells from the stage hes on with Newsies from all over the state watching him. While Medda and I are back stage listening.

"So, we've come a long way, but we ain't there yet and maybe it's only gonna get tougher from now on. But that's fine, we'll just get tougher with it. But also, we gotta get smart and start listening to my pal David, who says 'stop soakin' the scabs'." Jack says.

"What are we supposed to do to the bums? Kiss 'em?" Race says sarcastically. I chuckle hearing the comment from him. I then feel Medda grab my arm to get my attention.

"You're going to help me get ready Angel. Also I have the perfect dress for you" she says lightly dragging me back to her dressing room. Medda and I both get ready and by the time Jack is done with everything the curtains open and Medda goes out onto the stage while I head to the table Jack and the boys are sitting. My eyes then connect with Jack and his eyes grow huge seeing what I am wearing. I smile lightly to myself and sit down next to him.

He leans lightly over to me and whispers in my ear.

"You look stunning Angel" he says leaving goose bumps on my neck. I blush lightly and turn my attention back to Medda on the stage. Suddenly David runs up to Jack and grabs him and yells at him. I see the look on Jacks face and suddenly I know whats going on. Jack jumps up and grabs me, Sarah and Less and gets us out of there before anyone can see us.

I quickly get Sarah and Less home, but not without many questions from both of them.

"Angel please tell me they are going to be okay" Less says with tears in his eyes. I sigh and sink down so we are level.

"Everything will be okay Less they know how to take care of each other" I say trying to convince him that they are okay. But am I trying to convince him or myself? I stand back up and look at Sarah who is silently freaking out.

"Sarah" I say putting a hand on her arm, "There big boys they know how to take care of themselves" I say giving her a reassuring squeeze. She just gives me a sad smile. I ended up staying with them all night.

The next morning I head to the Lodging house hearing nothing from my brother or anyone else. I start pacing back and forth waiting for News of what happened last. Suddenly the door slams open and all the Newsies come in. I rush over to them.

"Mush what happened?" I say panicked. He sighs as he sweeps me up into a crushing embrace. I hug him back confused as to what is going on. He sets me down gently and leads me over to the couch to talk. He tells me everthing that happened at the Court House and about how Jacks name isn't Jack and everything. Suddenly I feel slightly guilty about not telling him. I sigh and look down, tears forming in my eyes.

"Mush, Angel we are going to Tibby's, you coming?" Race says lightly.

"Nah you guys go ahead im going to go see how Medda is doing" I say lightly, standing up and walking out the door. I end up staying with Medda the rest of the day and into the next. Being with her really helps me sometimes, she may not know exactly what happened to me in order for me to be in the refuge, but she knows enough about it.


I walk up to the distribution center to see what is going on considering all the people around.

"DAVID" I yell in order to get his attention, he spins around to see me. "What is going on here?" I say flatly.

"Its Jack, hes dressed like a scab" David says. Wait a minute, WHAT? I push my way through till I get to the police line and sure enough I see Jack there in a fancy new suit. I just look at him.

"You wana talk to him?" Weasel says, I nod as the police let me through. I walk gently up to Jack just looking at him. His eyes then connect with mine and I see the guard that is up in his eyes, One that is never there with me. I sigh and we both pull off to the side a little to talk.

"What happened Jack?" I say looking up at him. "And don't lie to me I can always tell when you do"

"He was going to use everything against me" He says in a broken voice. "Everything I worked so hard for, I would have lost everything and would have been responsible for Davy loosing his family. I cant have that on me Angel." He says looking at me pleading me to understand.

"Jack I know this isn't you, you would never hurt them like this. Its almost to much though Jack they love you. You lied to them, I lied to them. No matter what that wont change." I say looking up at him with unshed tears. We finish the talk and step back to where everyone is. I gently press my hands to his chest and lean up and gently kiss him on the cheek whispering something in his ear.

"I will always forgive you" I say lightly before I slip back into the crowd of Newsies. I hear the things they all yell at him. Calling him a liar and a traitor, in a way it was true but I didn't want to except it. Spot comes over to me and wraps his arms around my shoulders. I lean into him and wrap mine around his waist. He lets out a light chuckle.

"Well Davy" I say looking at him. "It looks like its all you this time, Be your own voice"

"Looks that way doesn't it" He says with a sad smile.


The next morning

The last day and a half I've spent it watching Less and trying to help Davy with the whole thing. Less and I are walking down the street to find Davy when I hear a voice that I wish would just vanish.

"Wheres your older brother kid, Huh? Where's Davy?" Morris says shoving Less, he pops right back up and Charges after Oscar as Morris grabs me around the waist. Oscar easly picks me up and carries me into the ally as I kick and hit his back. Its hard though because I'm so small compared to everyone. He sets me down on the ground and as soon as he does I punch him hard in the jaw. He yells letting me go but the only place to go is farther into the ally. I'm an idiot its official.

"Angel!" I hear Davy yell.

"Davy No!" I yell

Oscar suddenly punches David and I turn around and hit Morris but he catches my stomach and knocks the breath right out of me also ripping open the scab. I fall to the ground clutching my stomach as Less runs over to me.

"STOP IT PLEASE!" Less yells at them and Less keeps yelling at them to stop as I keep trying to get up. I suddenly see Jack come up behind Morris and punch him in the face as David jabs Oscar in the rids effectily getting Oscar off of him. Jack rushes over to me.

"Angel you okay?" Jack says, gently helping me up.

"Yeah, Im fine Jack, just a little sore" I say wincing, he sighs and just brings me into his arms. I smile as I hug him back taking in his smell of paper, ink and tobacco.

"What you couldn't stay away" David says

"Well I guess I cant be something I aint." Jack says wrapping an arm around me waist to keep me up.

"What a Scab?" David says sarcastic like.

"No, Smart" Jack says smartly back. I end up laughing at them.


WOOO one more Chapter. Im SORRY again about just vanishing. Im working on the story again and almost done this time :)
