Author's note: Okay. I bet you all are depressed after the last chapter. Even worse I bet your mad cause of the nasty cliffhanger.

Well then you're really going to hate me because this is the end folks. Yep! Surprise! *dodges knives and flaming objects* O_o

This is the last chapter of "Just To Love". Chapter 31 is strickly a THANK YOU chapter. Before you send me death threats...(Heehee) keep in mind that there is going to be a part 2. "The Edge of Tomorrow". However I have a lot of other FF.Net stories that I would like to see completed.
"Silent Hill 3" will be my first task, then once that is done, I'll move onto "The Edge of Tomorrow" where the Manhattan newsies will come in (Yay!!)
Thank you so much to everyone, EVERY SINGLE PERSON, who ever reviewed this story. You guys are what kept me going and what's more, what led me to my FIRST EVER completed, thirty chapter story. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for giving me the motivation. =)

Now on with the last chapter.

Chapter 30 ~ To Manhattan

The night had been long for the Brooklyn newsies. They had all slept outdoors for the first time in a long time. A few had broken off from the group and scattered and now their numbers were fairly small.

The sun had just arose. Butters, a young newsies with messy blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes, had watched it rise. Butters was usually known for his random comments and innocently stupid manner. Usually, but not today. Butters had become quiet. All that he had known, had vanished in one night.

He just didn't know what to say.

"Seen anyting?" his best buddy, Sticks, asked quietly beside him. Butters just shook his no. Sticks looked down. He knew his best friend was sad. They all were sad. At least he was.

Suddenly a stuttering made Sticks look up. "Wha-?"

Butters was pointing then finally managed to shout "It's...SPOT!"

At that point only a few newsboys raised their heads, a few looking at Butters like he was delirious. Butters shouted again. "IT'S SPOT!! SPOT'S HERE!!"

Now more newsboys stood up and when they saw what Butters did, they too ran over.

Spot was really out of it. The bottom of his white shirt was stained with blood and he was very pale. He was being supported by an older newsie. Not Kid though. This newsie had black hair and a sort of childish look about his face, despite the fact that he was older.

"Make room! Make room!" he shouted and laid Spot down gently. Spot winced painfully. "Geeze...I hoid dat Brooklyn had gotten inta some trouble, but I never imagined dat it was like dis..." the older newsie said, peeling up Spot's shirt just slightly to see a deep stab wound. The older newsie winced. "Spot, yous is gunna need a doctah..."

Spot was teetering on the verge of unconsciousness. He only managed to whisper "...to Man...hattan..."

The older newsie nodded. All Spot heard was Racetrack stand up and give out orders. Then he slipped back into the familiar blackness.

***

"Moira..."

Moira smiled sweetly. Her short black hair seemed to blow about her face. Spot longed to reach out and just hold her. He missed her so much...

"I'm gone Devlin..."

"I'se know..." Spot said painfully, clenching his eyes shut.

Silence.

Spot slowly opened his eyes. Things were black once more except for a blue light where Moira was. It twisted and turned, forming another human figured. A girl. She looked angelic. Her chestnut brown hair was in gentle, delicate curls about her face. She seemed to wear a dress of white light.

Spot stood still. He couldn't move.

The girl looked to him and her familiar aqua eyes seemed to burn into his. Moira was gone...

Spot reached out for the girl.

The darkness swirled and seemed to swallow the angelic looking girl. It was like a current bringing Spot further and further away from him.

"...Devlin...you've learned the greatest thing..."

"What?!"

"...Just to love..."

"I don't understand!"

"Just remember...and keep it in your heart..."

The blackness engulfed the girl, like a beast swallowing prey. He had lost Moira...

And now he had lost Reina too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Last note: This chapter is very meaningful if you read it while listening to "Nature Boy" but the one by Celine Dion. It's very beautiful. I highly recommend it. I tried to not go all Moulin Rouge (cause now that's what people associate this song with), because I've loved this song LONG before that movie and in my opinion it sucks that now when that song is played people go "OH! The Moulin Rouge song!"

Oh well...I hope I gave it another meaningful storyline, if only for a moment.

Thank you again...to everyone. Bye for now. ~ Stars *hugs*
