Chapter eight

When the other newsies came home, Blue, Sharie and Vivianne wanted to see Storm. They went into the room and find her asleep in Spot's arms. They could see the tears that she had cried.

"What?" Sharie looked asking at Spot.

"It was Tricks! He raped her. He was here today and tried it again. Ice and I came in before he get too far." Blue looked at Spot. He knew he hadn't like Tricks. Never. And he could see in his eyes that Spot blamed himself for Storm's rape. Spot was responsible for everything his newsies did. At least that was what Spot thought. Tricks pulled Sharie and Vivianne away and closed the door silently. The two girls sat down on a bunk. Vivianne began to cry silently. As Blue noticed he sat down next to her and let her cry on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Storm's strong. She'll make it. C'mon, don't cry."

Vivianne really stopped crying and looked up at Blue. It was the first time he really looked at her. Her eyes were as blue as an...

"Ocean!" She looked confused at him.

"The perfect nickname for you." He smiled at her. Vivianne blushed.

"Ocean," she tried. "I like it." She said as she wiped away her tears.

Spot hold Storm in his arms. He flet guilty for what had happened. He promised himself that he wouldn't leave her alone anymore. Not a single minute! Storm slowly woke up and looked at Spot who was lost in his thoughts. She laid her hand on his arm what caused him to snap back into reality.

"Hey." He smiled at her weakly. She tried to smile at him as well.

"What's with this guy?" She asked afraid.

"He won't ever come back again."

"How'd you know him?" Spot looked down on the floor.

"He was one of my newsies till today." Spot still didn't look up.

"I should have known better. I, I should..."

"Spot, you don't blame yourself for what had happened?"

"He was one of my newsies. I'm responsible for them!" Strom forced Spot to look at her.

"Spot, you can't look into their heads. You don't know what they're thinkin. And you can't follow all of them just to know what they're doing!" Spot looked at her still the concerness and hurt in his eyes.

"Spot. There wasn't more that you could have done, then what you've done for me." Spot reached his hand for her cheek and touched it softly. Storm wasn't sure how she should react so she just sat there without moving as Spot leaned forward and kissed her softly on her lips. Storm couldn't do anything but close her eyes and wraped her arms around his neck. They got lost in this kiss for several moments. Then Storm pulled away.

"Spot, I can't!"

"Storm I ove you!" They said in the same minute.Spot looked hurt at her.

"I don't want to be one of your `girls of the week!'"

"You aren't. I mean it I really love you!"

"That's not good enough Spot. You've got to prove it!" She said concerned looking in his eyes before he went out of the room.
