Dear Diary,

It's been three weeks since I wrote in toyou. The reason? I kind of forgot to put you in my bag.

Now on to London. The first week was wonderful. I went shopping anddancing, to plays and parties, but I didn't get to see the queen. Yes, the first week was wonderful. The next weeks were living hell, because I was sick with vomiting, diarrhea (that is so disgusting), fever, and sweating. Then for five days I eat hardly anything. Now I look so pale and thin, I feel as if I've lost ten pounds. So if course the day I felt good enough I could move around we had to go back to New York City and the whole time I was sea sick.

When I got home the boys were so happy to see me,and yet shocked on how different I looked . The first to greet me was Jack, accompanied by Tanya (I have no clue why she was there butshe and Jack had this look in their eyes that was really weird). Then came Race, (I swear he never takes that cigar out of his mouth) with cards in his hands, figures, next came the infamous Brooklyn leader himself, Spot Conlon - he was probably there for the game of cards (Spot's nice but I hardly talk to him). But there was someone missing... Blink. So I asked, among the talking of the newsies, "Jack do ya know where Blink is?" His reply was, " He's up on the roof." Then I was off dropping my stuff on my bunk and went up to meet him as quickly/fast/etc asI could.

When I got on the roof, there was Blink on the couch, just looking out onto the city. So I walked over and sat next to him.

Blink started, "So how was London?" Still looking upon the city.

"It was fun for the first week, but the next two I was basically sick."

Blink didn't reply. So I just kept on talking, "Look Blink I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I was leaving for London the next day, but I couldn't bear to tell you, on the night I broke up with you, that I was going to go to London the next day."

" Anna I understand, " his eyes looking at me understandingly.

"But who, how?"

" Jack told me. And I'se totally agree wid you, we should of taken it slower, I'm sorry."

"It's okay Blink. Bye."

I was about to get up when Blink turned me so that I would face him. " I missed you more than anything in the world Anna." Then he hugged me real tight and I hugged him just as tightly. "Anna, even though we ain't goin out anymore I still like you a lot."

"Blink, I still like you a lot too," After I said that he looked at me and kissed me on the forehead, and it wasn't just some peck kiss it had meaning and feeling of love and passion. From then till the sun had finally set we sat there on the couch talking about our past, families, dreams, everything. Then we decided to go downstairs. Of which we did and we engaged in a game of poker of which Race won for I dunno the trillionth time.

Well that's all for now. Tomorrow I'm gonna visit momma, she said I should come over the day after I came back at 9:00a.m. I don't know why, she just said that she loved me very much. Gee, I hope nothing happened to her. Well I'm gonna find out tomorrow cause Blink says so (his bunk is right next to mine, which is next to the wall near a window and I've been using a candle so its been bothering him since he gotten accustomed to sleeping) cause we need to start off early tomorrow to me momma's house. Yes, he thinks that I can't take care of myself, which by the way is true -I did learn to fight but not enough to keep up off the ground for 50 seconds, so he wants to accompany me plus he wants to meet momma. So good night!

Anna
