Okay, as I read are some things in my story confusing. I had already
suspected this.
But I had this story in my head for a wile now. So there are so many thoughts that want to be on the paper…;p But I'll try to stop this confusion. I promise I try. If there'll still be some confusing parts or so, just tell me and I'll try to explain.
I have some german sentences in this chapter. There also is a translation. I just don't want to be blamed for having german phrases in it. I read some reviews from other stories which were in german and some of the reviews weren't very nice. I also thought if I really should write some german in it, but then Blue, Vivianne and Thunderstorm/Gillian are from Germany. So it would sound strange if they'd talk in english all the time. But it will only be at the beginning of their talks and maybe sometimes when they (Especially Storm) become angry and they will curse in german. But I promise to translate everything. At least that you get the meaning of what they are talking. But the swearwords and insults will be translated worth by worth. Who knows when you can need it? ;p (I always liked to learn the swearwords in english and french lessons). But I'm babbling too much. So here's the story's next Chapter.
Chapter three
Spot had finally fall asleep. But he couldn't rest very long. It was around six when Jack and Blue knocked at the door. Spot came out of the room and told them to be quiet, so they wouldn't wake her.
"Wait. She had waken up tonight? Why didn't you wake me up?!" Blue was upset.
"She didn't want me to. She fall asleep a few hours ago. Now get ready for work. And send Tricks to me. I have to send a message to Harlem for me."
"Tricks ain't here. He left yesterday mornin' and didn't come back yet. He went for Harlem but nobody knows what for."
"Okay. Now get ready."
"I ain't working when I'm not sure, Storm's gonna be okay." Blue stood there his arms crossed. Spot sighed heavily. Normally he would have get mad if one of his newsies refused to do what he told them but this wasn't an ordinary situation. He could understand how Blue felt. But he had to work also.
"Blue, you can't do anythin' for her right now. I'll stay here and watch here. I promise. The doc said she'll make it. But she need to rest. So do me and her a favor and get this girls out for today. Go with them for a long walk to show them the city or so! Or show them how to sell papes, so they will make their own money. Just get them out of here!" Jack and Blue nodded and went to Daisy's room to wake the girls. Blue wasn't sure if he really should go, but Spot was right. He couldn't do anything right now.
Sharie and Viviane weren't happy as they heard that they should spent the day outside with the boys. They wanted to stay with Storm. But one look from Spot made them go.
Spot went back to his room looking out of the window to see Brooklyn covered by the snow. And in this white picture a person came to the lodging house. Spot tried to get a better look, to be sure he saw Tricks. It was him. He opened the door to the lodging house and came up. Jerry, the runner of the Brooklyn lodging house told him, that Spot had asked for him so he went directly to his room and knocked.
"Yeah, Tricks come in." Tricks went into the room and looked at Spot who was still standing on the window. Spot turned around and went up to Tricks stopping in front of him. Tricks was a few inches taller then Spot whit short light hair and gray eyes.
"What is it Spot?"
"You have to go to Harlem for me. Tell Ice I need to talk with him."
"About what?" Spot didn't know why, but he didn't trust Tricks. He never really had.
"Non of your business." Tricks look fell on Storm lying in Spot's bed. He narrowed his eyes.
"What's with this girl?"
"Just make what I told you!" Spot sent him out of the room slamming the door behind him. He couldn't stand this guy very long. He asked himself once again why he still let him stay in Brooklyn. But Trick's brother Ice was an old friend of Spot and had asked him to let Tricks stay because he had some trouble with a jealous boyfriend in Harlem.
Storm woke up as Spot slammed the door. She looked at him standing there lost in his thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" Spot jumped as he heard her voice.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"You didn't!" Spot lied.
"Sure." Storm smiled.
"How you slept?"
"Good, thank you. When will the others be here to kill my nerves?" Spot smiled.
"I sent them away for today. They didn't like it but so they will also be very tired this evening and they will be glad to be in bed." He winked at her and she had to smile.
"What are you some kind of guardian?"
"Maybe."
"So how long have I to stay in bed?"
"Three weeks." Storm sighed and made a face.
"Three weeks in bed. You don't think you could make them all to leave me alone, till I'm ready to go alone?" Spot shook his head.
"I don't think so. I'm sure, Blue want to see you when he comes home this evening." Storm nodded.
"Why don't you want to talk to Blue and the two girls?"
"As I said I have real bad news for Blue-Eyes. And for Vivi and Sharie, I don't want them to worry about me."
"Don't you think, they worry more when you don't talk to them?"
"No. As soon as they notice I'm awake, I promise you, you won't have your room. Vivi won't let me stay with a boy in a room. So they will stay here and sent you out."
"They should try! But let's talk about some other things. How are you feelin'?"
"I'm not sure. I think you should ask me again when I can go out of bed." Storm looked at him asking.
"Don't you have to work?"
"No, I'm good enough to make a few days free." In this moment Storms stomach began to rumble.
"When was the last time you eat somethin'?"
"Don't know. Maybe a week or so."
"I'll go and tell Jerry he shall make you somethin'. I'll be back in five minutes." Whit this he ran downstairs and came back a few minutes later with a plate of soup.
"Thank you." Storm smiled at him. She tried to sit up but the pain went through her whole body.
"Wait," Spot put the plate on the nightstand and sat down on the bed behind Storm. He softly laid his arms around her so she was almost sitting in bed leaning against him. Then Spot took the plate and hold it in front of Storm.
"So it may work bedda." He said and she nodded slightly. She didn't like it to be weak.
When she had finished She laid back and sighed.
"Spot?"
"Yeah?"
"It's cold here. Do you have any other blankets?" Spot went out of the room and came back with two blankets in his arms. He put them around her.
"'ere, Bedda now?" Storm nodded and yawned. Spot chuckled.
"Listen, I have to go somewhere, do you mind if I'm away for an hour or so?"
"No, I think I'll take a nap anyway." Spot nodded and left the Lodging house. He had almost forgotten about his date with Patricia, damn it, she surely wouldn't be happy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tricks was on his way to Harlem, his thought was still in the Lodging House.
Damn it, I thought she was death! If she wakes up again, and tells Spot what happened to her… and if she remembers me…. I can't let it come this far….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Spot, Where were you? I waited almost twenty minutes for you!!!"
"I'm sorry Pat, I really am."
"I almost thought you had another girl."
"O come on Pats. You know, you're my only one…" With this Spot kissed her neck and made Pat stop from thinking about any other girls….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About two hours later Spot walked back to the lodging house. His thoughts hadn't been with Pat. But he didn't know where they had been. He reached the lodging house and went back in his room to find Storm asleep. He went outside on the fire escape and let the window down so the cold winter air wouldn't get into the room. He had just thrown his cigarette away when he saw Jack, Blue and the two girls come back. He sighed and walked inside. When the four came upstairs Blue came up to Spot.
"Is she awake?"
"No, she wanted to take a nap a few hours ago. And had slept since then." Vivianne and Sharie had gone into Spots room to find Storm waking up.
"Gillian! Oh mein Gott ich bin ja so froh, dass du noch lebst, was ist denn passiert?!" Vivianne said at one stroke.
" Beruhig dich, Vivi. Mir geht es gut." Jack and Spot looked at each other and tried to understand what they were talking about. Blue smiled and translated it to them.
"The blonde told Storm that she was glad that she's alive and asked her what had happened. Then Storm told her not to worry and that she's fine."
After Sharie and Vivi were absolutely sure that Gillian/Thunderstorm was okay they left her and they boys alone to went to bed. They were really tired after they had to sell papes for the first time in their lives.
"Would you leave us alone? I need to talk to Blue-Eyes in private." Spot and Jack nodded and left the room.
"Okay, what's going on here? Why are you here? And where is Hans?!" Storm swallowed and looked down.
"Storm?" She still didn't response.
"Gillian Elisabeth von Bismarck! Will you at least say something to me!" Storm slowly looked up at him. Blue was expecting to see her angry of calling her by her full name but she just looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"He's dead." She whispered.
"What?"
"My father… he shot him…he found me somehow and Hans tried to protect me so my father just shot him on the street. Nobody did anything. MY father brought me back home and everything became like it was before I had ran away. When my father celebrated his birthday Vivianne, Sharie and me decided to run away. My brothers got us the tickets and so we came here. Hans told me to search you. So now I'm here."
"He's dead?! I can't believe it!" Storm nodded slowly.
"Storm, to come to another thing… do you remember the guy…"
"Blue, I don't want to talk about it right now! Okay?" Blue nodded and got up.
"Good night. Sleep well." With this he kissed her forehead and went away.
Spot walked in shortly after already changed. He looked at Storm and saw her laying in bed awake but lost in her thoughts.
"You alright?"
"Yeah." She smiled up at him.
"Nice lipstick!" She smiled nodding in the direction of his neck. Spot blushed and wiped away the red lipstick.
"G'night!" He said making himself comfortable in the chair.
"Night." She smiled and closed her eyes.
