Mickey was left standing in front of three of her old friends, Jack, Kid Blink and Paris. The blonde that was on Spot's lap gave Mickey an evil look and left Tibby's. They were chocked to see her, they just sat there speechless. Mickey didn't want to talk to them, she wanted to talk to Spot, so she left. When she got outside she looked left, then right and couldn't see him anywhere. She had a feeling she knew where Spot went., to his "thinking spot" (no pun intended). Mickey was the only person who knew where it was, whiled she was walking she ran head on into Racetrack.

"Mickey?" Racetrack said.

At first Mickey didn't recognize him because he had grown facial hair. "Race?" Mickey said once everything clicked. Racetrack hugged Mickey, he was so happy to se her.

"How have you been?" He said taking her hands in his.

"Bad." Mickey said.

"Wanna talk about it?"

Mickey thought about it for a minute because she wanted to talk to Spot, but she figured he would stay there all night, like she remembered him to. "Sure." They walked to the docks, sat down and let their legs dangle over the water.

"Would ya care to tell me about what happened. Youse know, da whole you bein married thing."

Mickey sighed. "My parents died when I was 14. I had no other livin relatives and they were gonna send me to an orphanage. I didn't want to go to da orphanage. One of my neighbors, who was 23 at da time said dat he would marry me so I wouldn't have to go to da orphanage. I woulda done anything to avoid it, and I did, I married him. At foist he was da sweetest man on earth, but eventually he started to beat me. I couldn't take in anymore and when I turned 16 I left New Joisey for New Yawk City. When I got heah I had no way of makin money so I became a prostitute. And well youse know da rest of da story from dere."

"Why didn't youse tell us youse was married?"

"I didn't think it would matta. Besides, I wasn't expectin ta fall in love with Spot. He is da only person I eva loved. Race, I still love him."

Seeing Mickey like that broke Racetrack's heart, "What happened afta youse got back ta Joisey?"

"Well things got back to da way dey used ta be. If I did somethin he didn't like he'd beat me. He was killed in a bar fight last week. After his funeral yesterday I took a train out heah. I used da only money we had left ta pay for da ticked. Race I NEED ta talk ta Spot. I wanna chance ta explain."

"Dat would probably be a good idea." Race watched as Mickey stood up.

"Bye Race, see youse lata." Mickey said as she ran to Spot's "thinking spot." His "spot" was the rooftop of an old abandoned warehouse. When she got to the roof she saw Spot, but he wasn't alone. He was making out tith the blonde from Tibby's. It pained Mickey to see that. HE'S NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU, NOT AFTA WHAT YOUSE DID TA HIM. Mickey thought. Mickey walked up behind the two quietly. She wasn't sure of what to do, so she tapped him on the shoulder. Spot turned around.

"Spot I need ta talk ta youse." Mickey said.

"What if I don't wanna talk to ya." Spot said, he and the girl standing up to leave.

"But I wanna talk ta youse." Mickey's presence was commanding, and after five years, he was still intimidated by her.



"Fine. Marissa go back to da LH. I'll be back lata tonight." Spot said kissing Marissa. It hurt Mickey to see them kiss, she wanted so badly to be he one kissing him. Once Marissa left Spot sat down, Mickey sat down next to him.

"Spot, I came back because I need ta explain some things to youse, I'm not expectin things to go back to da way dey were. I'm planning on leavin once I explain.

"Ok explain." Spot said without looking at Mickey. Mickey told him everything. By the end of her story she was crying, she longed for Spot to hold her like he had that night many years ago.

"Oh, well I'm glad dat things are cleared up now. Ise guess I'll see youse around." Spot said getting up and leaving. Mickey watched as Spot walked through the door and leave. It didn't go the way Mickey had expected it at all. Mickey had a small hope that Spot would gather her in his arms and take her back. She thought he would at least say that he forgave her, but he didn't. Mickey started to cry harder as she sat and watched the ominous rain clouds approach. She sat on the rooftop until it started to rain. Once it started she left to find a place to sleep. She wandered the streets aimlessly looking for a place to sleep, but she couldn't find anything so she decided to head over to Manhattan. She couldn't find anywhere to sleep in Manhattan either. IF I DON'T FIND A PLACE TA SLEEP DEN I'M GONNA HAVE TA DO WHAT I USED TO. Mickey thought. Mickey eventually got desperate and turned to drastic measures, she tore of her clothes and was left standing in nothing but a corset, underwear and shoes. She decided to walk over to Tibby's to see if she could get a guy to buy her a meal. She got to Tibby's and looked around, none of her old friends were there. She sat down in a booth and when I waiter came over she flirted with him until he gave her a free meal. Mickey was about half way through her meal when her old friends came in, including Spot. They all saw her right away, but chose to pretend they didn't know her, everyone except for Racetrack who sat down with her.

"Race, youse don't hafta sit with me." Mickey said.

"You're right, I don't but I wanna." Racetrack.

"Dey hate me don't dey?"

"I don't know. I just think dey were expectin to neva see youse again and now you show up and dey don't know what ta think"

"I talked ta Spot."

"I know, he told us."

"What did he say?"

"Just dat youse two talked and dats all. Hey why are youse dressed like dis?"

Mickey looked down at her clothes, or lack there of, "Oh I had no way of getting money and,"

Mickey was interrupted by Racetrack, "Mickey you didn't hafta resort to dat. Do youse have a place ta stay tonight?"

"No, I've been walkin in da rain all night tryin ta find a place ta sleep."

"Stay with me."

"At da LH?"

"No, my apartment. Let's just say I came into some money."

"Okay."

"Come on let's go." Racetrack said standing up.

"Alright." Mickey said, also standind up. The two left Tibby's and Mickey could feel her old friends staring at her as she left. When they got to his apartment Racetrack gave her some of his clothes to wear. In the middle of the night Mickey woke up to the sound of someone tapping on the window. Mickey looked out on the fire escape and saw someone standing on it. She wasn't sure if she should open the window or not, but went against her better judgment and opened it.

"Come with me." The stranger said.

"Spot?" Mickey asked.

"Yes, now come on. I need to talk to youse."

"Come in." Mickey said trying to get Spot inside.

"No, come out."

"It da rain?"

"Yes, now come on." Mickey agreed and stepped out onto the fire escape. Spot started to make his way down and Mickey followed. Once they were in the alley Spot motioned for Mickey to follow him. Mickey hesitated, and then followed. Mickey followed until the got to Spot's "thinking spot."

"Sit." Spot said once they were on the roof. Mickey went and sat down next to Spot, but not too close.

"Why'd youse bring me up heah?" Mickey asked once they were seated. While she waited for Spot to answer she lifted her head to the sky and let the rain fall on her face.

"Because I need ta talk to youse." Spot said at last.

Mickey turned to look at him, "Okay talk." Mickey was dreading to hear what Spot had to say.

"Mickey, you hurt me like no one eva had. I trusted youse. I thought you were one person, but you really were someone else. You were da only person I eva loved. Youse can't just come back heah expectin me ta take youse back and have things go back to da way dey were."

"Spot, I just came heah to explain things. I'm planning on leavin soon to go back ta Joisey."

"Ya mean youse aren't planning on stayin heah?"

"No, once I talked to youse I was planning on leavin."

"Why don't you wanna stay?"

"Cuz I figured if I stay heah I would see youse on a regular basis, and it would hurt too much. Spot," Mickey said turning to face him, "I'm still in love with youse and I know dat by livin heah seein you would be a constant reminda of something I'll neva have again."

"Why do youse say dat?"

"Cuz I know dat afta what I did ta youse, youse will neva love me again."

"Mickey," Spot said placing his hand on her face, "I will always love you." Spot kissed Mickey, a sweet and simple kiss, like the one many years ago.
