Yay, another day another chap. Ok, yea Shout Outs:
Wisecraker88- I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU HANGING FOR LONG! I HAVE LIKE 19 PAGES WRITTEN! This is my longest story, ok maybe Capture the Bear is, try that one, it's more of a comedy.
Lucky- I love Hanson, ok well I love their first cd, didn't listen to any others. But I still love them. Conflict is good, I love conflict, I love plot.
I love reviews, well my friends who were reading this didn't review yet, but I'm sure they will soon. If they value their lives. ;)
Disclaimer- No Disney owns Newsies, I don't tears tears. I do own Olivia, and Gavin for that matter, and most of the char. Not seen in the movie. I don't own the song Ricky Martin owns it and it's called Private Emotion, good song I recommend it.
Jack stormed down the street, his face hot with anger.
'She lied!' he thought bitterly.
'No, she never said anything. You never asked,' another voice said.
'But she could have told me!' he argued. 'Wow, now I'm schizophrenic!'
'No, it's just your conscious. Now you are wrong, she broke if off FOR YOU! I repeat FOR YOU!' Jack scowled at the dust he was kicking up randomly. He realized that his feet had led him to Spot Conlon's home, for now.
"Spot, hey Spot, I gots ta talk ta ya," Jack called into the empty warehouse.
"Yea, Jacky-boy, what's goin' on now?" Spot said coming out from the shadows.
"It's about a goil," Jack looked at the ground and shuffled his feet. Spot smirked.
"I thought so, so what she do?"
"She had dis boyfriend and didn' tell me, so now I likes huh and she broke it off wit huh boyfriend and I don't know what ta do," Jack blurted in one breath.
Olivia sat at her window and looked into the darkness.
Every endless nightHas a dawning day
Every darkest sky
Has a shining ray
"Jack, I'se can see dat your dapressed so I'se gonna tell ya dis. She obviously likes ya so go get huh ya lousy bum!" Spot said. Jack couldn't help but think that this advice was good. He took off toward Olivia's.
When your soul is tiredAnd your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one-way street?
It takes a lot to laugh
As your tears roll by
But you can find me here
Until your tears run dry
She felt like nothing was right. 'You know death sounds really good right now, wait no death is bad. I would have tried it if it was fun,' she thought before getting out of frame. She made her way back down the stairs and saw her mother in the parlor with a book.
"Olivia! Gavin came by earlier, he said he was glad you found someone," her mother said. Olivia nodded and went to the dining room, sat at the table and intentionally slammed her head down.
"Ow," she murmured.
"Olivia, there's someone here to see you," Julie said coming in from the entrance hall.
"Tell them to go away," the girl replied not lifting her head.
"Do I hafta?" she heard Jack's familiar voice say. Her head shot up so fast she nearly got whiplash.
"Jack?" she questioned not quite believing her senses.
"Da one n' only," he smiled flapping his vest a bit as if to add to the experience. She got up and ran to him, but she stopped a few feet away.
"Are you still mad?"
"A little maybe," he replied. She nodded and moved into embrace him. Jack laid his head on hers and stroked her hair.
"Olivia, could you… Oh my I'm sorry! I'll just leave now," Mrs. Wenton said coming in and seeing them hugging. Her face was red and she ran out.
"She doesn't have long," Olivia whispered to herself.
"Who ya muddah?" Jack asked.
"Yes, she's dying," Olivia said sitting at the table again. Jack sat next to her and gaped.
"She's dyin'?" he said.
"Yes, she has cancer." Jack looked at Olivia and saw that she was used to the idea that her mother could be gone at any second. She was prepared. "I have to get my book!" she suddenly cried running from the room and returning shortly writing vigorously in it. "It's a private emotion/that fills you tonight/and a silence falls between us/as the shadows steal the night/wherever you may find it/wherever it may lead/let your private emotion/come to me," she sang to herself. She hadn't lied her voice wasn't that great.
"New song?" Jack asked. Olivia nodded handing him the book. He read it, her first full song. "Can I keeps dis book? Jus' for tonight."
"Yes, keep it as long as you want," she answered.
"Um, do ya want ta come ta da lodgin' house wit me? Like now?" he asked. She nodded and they left.
Jack and Olivia entered the lodging house.
"Hey, Jack, who is this?" Kloppman asked.
"Heya Kloppman, dis is Olivia, Olivia dis is Kloppman," Jack introduced. Olivia smiled.
"Hello sir," she said.
"Where's da boys?" Jack asked. Kloppman motioned to the stairs. They climbed the stairs and came to the bunkroom where Race had started a Blackjack game on his bed.
"Hey Jack come here! Oh you brought company!" Race called. All the boys turned and looked at Olivia. She felt her face get brighter; the boys were all just staring at her like she was an alien. Jack noticed the tension.
"Uh, boys dis is Olivia, Olivia dese are da boys."
"Hello." She looked at the boys and they all took the hats they were wearing off. "You don't need to do that." The boys kept them off and she sighed.
"Liv, ya want ta play a game a pokah?" Race called. She shrugged.
"I've never played before," she replied.
"Aw, it ain't hard," Race smirked perfectly ready to take on the money she had on her.
"Do you have any money?" Jack asked.
"No," she answered as she sat down next to him on the edge of Race's bed.
"Good."
Race dealt the cards and Olivia looked at her deck. Jack was helping her. She had a Queen of Diamonds, a 5 of hearts, a 6 of clubs, a King of Spades, and a 4 of hearts. Jack used his poker face and told her to just fold. Race took the money that Jack put in.
"Anuddah day anuddah dolla," he chanted several times. Jack glared as he searched his pockets for another penny or two.
"I'm outta money," he whispered to Olivia.
"Well Racetrack since your so unbeatable I bet you (she looked for something to bet) I bet you a kiss that I win this one," she said smirking. "But I get to pick the game."
"Deal," Race handed her the cards.
"The name of the game is 31," she said dealing three cards between her and Race. Race picked up his cards.
:"What do I do?" he asked thoroughly confused. He had a 2 of clubs, an ace of hearts, and a 3 of diamonds.
"You look at your cards and add them up, if they reach 31 or close to it you win. You go around picking up and putting down cards until they add to 31," Olivia explained. "Aces are 1 or 11, whichever you want them to be, Kings, Queens, and Jacks are 10."
Race added his cards and got 16. He picked up a 10 and put the 2 down. Olivia picked up a card and put down a 5. Race picked the five up and put down the 3. Race thought he was close.
"What do ya do when ya t'ink ya gonna win?' he asked.
"You knock on the table," Olivia replied, showing no emotion at these words. He knocked and put down his cards.
"26," he said.
"Race that is good," she sighed putting her cards down, an ace of spades, a 10, and a 9. "But not good enough. 30." Race stared in astonishment, so did everyone else. Race sheepishly handed over the dollar he had bet. Olivia gave it to Jack.
"I have to go now, I had fun, thank you boys," Olivia said getting up. Jack and her went down the steps and out onto the dimly lit street.
"So'd ya really like da boys?" Jack asked as the walked back to Olivia's house.
"Yes, they're so sweet," she smiled taking Jack's hand.
"Dat's good, day me best buddies," he looked at her lamp-lit face and grinned.
"Jack, can I trust you?"
Yay, cliffhanger, can she trust Jack? Yea, well anyway. I hope you guys read and review, I adore this story, I really do. It's my only serious story and yea, well you get the picture.
I love you all!
