"Just To Love"
By: Laney Sanchez
==============
Note: I do not own any of the newsies characters except for Reina. I really dunno WHY I'm taking on one more story, but I love Newsies and especially Spot [Who doesn't? ^_~]. This is of course a romance fic but I really hope to delve into the story before getting into the lovey dovey stuff.
Enjoy.

Chapter Two ~ "Dis Ain't No Heaven"
Reina's eyes stung as she opened them. She almost immediately closed them, unable to return to her gloomy reality yet.
"Uh uh uh...kitten. Time ta wake up!" a voice prodded her. This voice made her eyes open right away. However she regretted it greatly as the foreign light invaded her eyesight.
A young boy, about only sixteen, perhaps seventeen, stared down at her. Light seemed to surround him. At first Reina thought her eyes had deceived her. Perhaps she had not truly woken up. Perhaps she had died...
Was this boy an angel?
He had darkened brown hair with faint blonde streaks. His skin was that of a small boys, fresh and youthful and his eyes were pale blue, almost a misty gray. However...one thing her doubt her ideas...
"Ugh..." she said swallowing hard and wincing against the light. "You're a bit dirty for an angel..."
There was snickering. The boy was a bit taken back by her comment then a slow, smirk spread across his lips. "I ain't no angel..." then he backed up and gestured around. "And dis...ain't no heaven..." he said then crossed his arms, examining her.
Reina sat up slowly and glanced around. Her wavy brown hair was a bit tangled and a her bangs fell down over the right side of her face. She then realized indeed it was not heaven and that the young boy was not alone. Others stood near him.
"Who are you?!" she outright demanded. The boy's smile faded. "Spot Conlin..."
"...Why did you bring me here...Spot...?" she asked, her eyes burning into him. Spot glanced at the other boys in the room. "Okay scram. Ya got work ta do so get out dere and start!"
The other boys made a few comments mostly about Spot's "womanizing." A word that Reina was all too familiar with. Most boys were like that in this area...
"So why did- "
"Cause yer on my turf" Spot answered sharply. He turned towards the window and a brief silence fell upon them. Then he turned and flashed her another smile. Spot was the sort of boy whose smile could've made any girl melt on the spot.
Reina was just too sick to enjoy it.
"Besides...can't leave a pretty girl all on her own...now could I?" he asked, his smile now syrupy sweet and he leaned closer, grasping her hand. For a moment Reina stared. Spot brought her hand closer to his lips but at that moment she wrinkled her nose and hit him outright with the pillow.
"I'm FINE on my own!" she roared, throwing back the covers. She was still in her raggy clothes but for now that suited her just fine.
"'EY!!" Spot exclaimed, still reeling from the kiss with the pillow. He rubbed his face for a moment then grabbed a long slender cane from the corner of the room. Reina stopped for a moment. Neither was unsure of the others actions.
Reina stared back into Spot's eyes. Spot lowered the cane. He obviously hadn't intended to hit Reina as she had thought. "Look. I didn't mean to give ya the wrong impression. If ya wanna leave, den leave" Spot said, pointing the cane to the door.
Reina stared at him with eyes like a scared animal cornered in a cage. She then ran out the door, not daring to look back.
She only briefly heard Spot mutter "crazy broad" as she pushed past other boys in the crowded hallway.
