Disclaimer- (pretend this is in the first chapter, *wink*)I do not own Newsies, nor do I claim to. I do not own the song 'Big Spender' either. It belongs to Fosse. That's all I really have to say. Read and enjoy!
Chapter Two
"O-oh…that's terrible…" I said, looking down at the floor. "It is, isn't it. But there's nothing I can do about it. This is my home, this is my life" She said, facing me again. Her eyes looked terrible sad.
"But it doesn't have to be! You can leave this place, you can stay somewhere else and get a new job!" I said, trying to comfort her. "Where shall I go? I have no family or friends."
Half of me wanted to say, "Stay with me!" The other half wanted to say, "well, I'm sure you'll find some place." Luckily, the first half of me won.
"You can stay with me, at the Lodging house! You can be a Newsie!" I said quickly, worried at what she might say. To my surprise, a huge grin spread across her face and she threw her arms around me. "Oh Really?! That would be so wonderful!" she said happily.
I was a bit in shock, I hadn't expected that reaction at all. I hugged her back and smiled, getting almost excited as she was. "It will be wonderful! You'll get to meet all the guys, a-and there are some girls to. They're all so nice, I'm sure they'll be happy to have you!" I said.
She laughed excitedly and began dashing around the room tossing her things into her pillowcase. She was so happy…I wish I could still see her like this…
"Oh Blink! Lets hurry, I want to leave this dump before someone stops me. Let's go!" Dove said, grabbing her pillowcase and my arm and pulling me towards the window.
"W-wait, are you going to go out there in that?" I said, pointing at her red undergarments. She laughed. "Silly me!" A few minutes later she was more properly dressed and we slipped out the window and into a dark alley that lead to the streets of Manhattan.
