It's getting longer! YAY! I have up to like chapter 8 or 9 in here I think, the ideas just keep coming. Yea, fluff is defiantly coming very soon, but hey every story has fluff at some point but anyway SHOUTS:
Chloe- No random PDA'S none! Yet!
Gryffin- I love you! Yea, it's pretty surface rite now, I think I get deeper as I go, I have 19 pages written and this is only pg. 10, so yea, it gets deeper.
Only 2 reviews, I feel hated! Hated! No cookies! HMPH! THAT'LL SHOW YOU. He, just kidding cookies, here!
Ok, storytime on the story mat!
Oh yea- Disclaimer- I don't own Newsies, NYC, the lodging house and all that crap. I own the plotline and Olivia, her mother, her father, I don't own Julie she's a girl from camp. I don't own the song either; it's owned by Caroline Dawn Johnson and is called Complicated. Now let's go.
Jack got back to the lodging house about an hour after lunch. Snitch and Snipeshooter were playing cards on the steps.
"Hey boys how's life fa ya? Me lifes great!" Jack said bounding up the stairs.
"What's wrong Cowboy? Ya just get laid? Again?" Snitch said. Jack smiled.
"Nah, this one hasn't even kissed me yet," Jack replied. He felt like King Kong on cocaine, not that he knew what King Kong was. Jack ran up the stairs and found Mush and Blink discussing the morning's headlines. Something about immigration numbers jumping up.
"Hiya Jack, how's it going?" Mush asked.
"It's great. Remember dat goil?" Jack asked.
"Yea, she gets ya laid?" Blink laughed.
"Why does everyone ax me dat?" Jack sat on his bed and looked across the room.
"Well?" both boys urged.
"I ate lunch at her house, and she said she liked me!" Jack was really cheerful. Nobody had ever made him this blissful. 'Why does she make me happy?' he thought. 'She's not absolutely gorgeous, she's not very subtle, and she loses her temper a lot. Well, at least she's human.' Jack looked at the ceiling.
Snipeshooter came into the room.
"Cowboy, some ugly goil's down here she wants ta see ya," he said. Jack assumed it was Olivia but when he went down he saw Sara.
"What?" he asked coolly.
"I wanted to talk to you," she said.
"Why?"
"I heard about you and Olivia Wenton, she goes to school with me. Why are with her? She's not that great. I'm better by far."
"I beg ta diffah." Jack felt his blood boil but held his head down.
"She's dating a boy named Gavin." Jack's head shot up. Sara smiled and left. Jack breathed deeply.
"She's lyin'," was his first idea. Then Jack decided against it, she never lied. That was true.
Olivia looked at her lyric book.
It's so complicated
So frustrating.
I want to hold you close
I want to push you away.
I want to make you go
I want to make you stay
She slammed the cover shut and through the book against the wall.
"Olivia, Gavin's here," Mrs. Wenton called up the stairs. Olivia sighed, 'here goes nothing.' She slowly proceeded down the steps and saw the blond boy in front of her. He was tall, blond haired, blue eyed, a typical love interest.
"Gavin, can we talk?" she asked. Gavin nodded and they went into the parlor.
"What's wrong?" he asked. Olivia felt her mind telling her to not do what she wanted to do. Gavin was a great guy; he wasn't snotty or mean, just nice and sweet.
"Gavin, I think we shouldn't be together anymore," she whispered.
"I thought you'd say that," he said casting a glare at the ground. That was another thing, Gavin never glared at Olivia, she glared at everyone at least twice a day.
"What? Why?"
"I've seen you with that boy," he looked sad. He tried hard not to say bad things about other people. "He's lower-class, why him?" Olivia was about to answer when someone knocked.
"I'll be right back," she said getting up and going to answer the door. "It figures," she muttered opening the door and seeing Jack there.
"Can we talk?" he asked. Gavin came into the front hall then. "This Gavin?"
"This the boy?" Gavin said. Gavin was even with Jack and they were staring daggers at each other.
"Yes," Olivia answered meekly. "Jack, Gavin, please. Jack can you wait here? I need to finish talking with Gavin." Jack nodded, never taking his eyes off of Gavin. Olivia closed the door.
"Him? Him over me?" Gavin yelled. Olivia knew Jack could hear every word. Olivia's mind kept telling her to get rid of Jack, but her heart was denying that. Hearts are annoying like that sometimes.
"Yes," Olivia said. With that Gavin stormed out leaving the door open for Jack to walk into. Olivia was doing all she could to hold back tears, she liked Gavin, she really did.
"Are you ok?" Jack asked. She nodded.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you," she said.
"I don't care if you're sorry." Jack wasn't very happy. Saying sorry just seemed to make it worse.
"How'd you find out?"
"Sara." Olivia's nostrils flared.
"Why that stupid little! Ugh!!!!!!" she screamed slamming her fists into the wall. Jack backed up in surprise. Olivia looked at him, tears staining her face. "I'm sorry." She sat in a hall chair and put her face in her hands. Jack was angry, very angry.
"I can't believe ya didn' tell me! How do ya t'ink it feels ta not know dat someone who says day like yas den ya find out she gots a boyfriend?" he yelled. This reminded Jack too much of what Sara had done to him. Dave had gone back to school and found out that Sara was seeing someone else besides Jack.
Olivia listened, she knew this would come, and she deserved every word.
"Jack, you're right, I had no right to not tell you. I thought you would just forget about me. I didn't want that to happen," Olivia whispered. She looked at the ground rubbing the back of her neck. Jack nodded and turned on his heel, leaving her alone.
