Hey and since you might read this I want to tell you how good your "Come what may" story is. The title is what got me to read in the first place… I love the movie Moulin Rouge!!!!!!!!!
I went back to read my last chapter and found out that it was my ruff draft so I went back and loaded my new one….so it actually goes with the story. See in that chapter is has Gem over hear the conversation between Spot and Hawk but she didn't know Spot till later in my original story…so I had to go back and change it so it made since but I didn't edit it so it still has a lot of mistakes but hey I can fix that later. So you can go back and read it or you can just read this one keeping those changes in mind.
Thanks a ton,

Chapter Summary: Gem sell again with Jack. Then after lunch sells with Mush but sneaks away when she finds out that Jack went with Spot and Hawk to the Bronx and decided to follow. ( not edited yet so there might be a lot of mistakes)
Another sleepless night went by and I reluctantly got up to the sound of Klopmen's voice calling through the bunkroom. My head was spinning with thoughts of the previous day. I watched Spot from across the room wondering just how much he knew, and another question was also running though my mind…why was Hawk informing him???? He looked over at me and smiled his I- know-you–want-me,-I-am irresistible smile. I rolled my eyes turning around to make my bed.
"Hey Gem. You wanna sell with me again today?" Jack came over his shirt halfway buttoned and bandanna loosely hung around his neck. He looked good, I held back a smile and concentrated on making my bed.
"you'se actually giving me a choice?" I mocked. Yesterday he had practically demanded that I sell with him. Boys confused me.
"Yea, so how about it?" he leaned close and added in a whisper. "As long as you don't throw me in an alley and kiss me again." I blushed.
"Hey dat was… well ya see there was dis … awww never mind." He laughed at my lack of words.
"So you'se wanna or not?"
I sighed giving in. "Sure I'll sell with you Jack, but I cant make any promises." Grinning he spit in his hand. I smiled back and did the same.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everyone waited in line at the distribution office I stood with the girls and Jack went to go get our papes.
"So Gem, how's sleeping with the boys?" Storm questioned.
"It aint so bad, except for the snoring the fighting the cigarette smoke…" Eveyone laughed.
"Don't worry as soon as we'se is back in the Bronx there will be plenty of space for you in da girls room." Blush smiled at me.
"Wait you'se guys aint from Manhattan?" This was news to my ears. I thought that the Bronx was in Brooklyn.
"Well you see this guy came and kicked us out. The boys went to Brooklyn ta stay and we came here, cause see Manhattan aint got no girl newsies, well besides Hawk dat is, and you'se will be dere second official girl newsie, so dey had some extra space." Queens, who was obviously the leader of the group, stated.
"Well dats a relief. I was beginning to worry I'd neveah have another good nights sleep again." I tried to blow it off.
"Well ladies I hate to break up a party but you'se better get sellin." Spot laughed as he walked out of the D.S. (distribution office)
I watched as many of the girls went with different guys. For instance Blush and Mush headed off toward bottle alley, Hawk immediately followed after Spot trying to look as discrete as possible, Blink followed Spunk who had a scowl on her face that I'm pretty sure is permanent, and Storm and Skip trailed off after Race and Skittery giggling to each other. Smiling I thought of Jack speaking of Jack I began to look around and didn't see him anywhere.
"Hey gurlie!" I turned around and was staring at a olive colored boy in a bowler hat, and right next to him a guy with a dark mustache smiled crookedly at me.
"Do I know you?" I snapped.
"Your about to get ta know me." He licked his lips, and started coming toward me. I backed up keeping my eyes on both boys, if they were looking for a fight I was gonna give them one. All the sudden I felt a protective hand grip my waist. 'Crooks?' I thought for a fleeting moment then looked up and realized it was Jack.
"Hey Cowboy, you gonna share the action. She's a real lookah." The one in the mustache asked stupidly.
"You, even come near dis goil and I'se gonna kill you, in fact you even think about coming near dis goil and I will kill ya's." He pushed past them his arm still secure around my waist.
"Who are dey?" I asked once we were clear from the D.S.
"Jus' a couple of dumb asses. Don't worry I don't think dey will bother you. For a while anyway." I waited for him to move his hand but he didn't.
"Well how about we sell some papes. I think I need some more lessons, I aint so good at dis game ya know." He smiled down at me and took his hand from my waist to hand me my papers. It might not be a bad day after all I smiled to myself and called out my first headline of the day.
To Be Continued…
