Chapter Four
As soon as Blink was a safe distance from the Jacob's apartment he stopped to catch his breath, this was getting weirder and weirder. He needed someone intelligent and quickly, Davey was definitely out now. Argh, Davey had just made a pass at him, and he'd thought that Blink was gay, was he really that camp? He put all thoughts of Davey from his mind and headed for the Tibby's, most of the Newsies should have finished selling their papers by now, he was bound to find someone. He walked through the door and sat at a table,
"Hey Blink, Blink, you looks like Death"
Blink looked up feebly
"Thanks Race"
"Yeah, right...So what up then?"
"You don't want to know"
"Sure I do"
"No, trust me you don't"
"Okay then, if you insist"
"Oh God Race, I think I'm going mad"
"What makes you think that"
"I-I-promise you'll keep dis to yourself"
"Course I will Blink"
"I kinda think I love Sarah..." Blink trailed off
Race made the sign of the cross, the look on his face was amazing, Blink wondered how he managed to keep it like that for so long, it looked really painful
"You'se have gotta get help Blink"
"Whaddya think I'se been trying tah do all day?"
"What about Davey?"
Blink shuddered
"Don't...say...that...name," He said pointedly
Race looked at him, Blink could tell that he was making his own mind up that Blink had gone crazy.
"Well I don't think I can help you there, havin' a crush on Sarah is pretty serious. I mean we could understand it with Jack, he's a bit on the crazy side, we knew when he started ravin' on about bein' a cowboy that he was kinda mad, so when he started lovin' Sarah we kinda just accepted it, but Blink, not you as well!"
"Oh look, I'se gonna go tah Brooklyn and see Spot!"
"Good idea, he might be able tah do something with you"
"Okay, bye"
With that he walked out of Tibby's, as he walked in the direction of Brooklyn he heard a voice behind him, shouting his name. He turned round and saw Crutchy
"Hey Blink, where're you going?"
"Brooklyn"
"but it's getting' dark"
"I know"
"Well what if the Delancey's come after you?"
"I don't care"
"I tell you what, I'll go with you, then I can bast them with my crutch if they try anything"
Blink was too distracted to argue, so Blink and Crutchy headed for Brooklyn together, Crutchy rambling on about Sauerkraut and Blink ignoring him.
