Sorry, everyone – I have NO TIME HERE. It was all I could do to get this out, so shoutouts will not be possible this chapter. *sob* I'll really, really try for the next one, which is written. It just needs to be typed. And also – ANGIE WILL COME EVENTUALLY. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT. ok, is that it? I think so. Ok, enjoy! Jack

I love to lead the newsies

Through all our troubled times

The strike was our greatest victory

Now were back to yelling headlines.

Sitting here in shadows

Watching two kids fight

I want to help the smaller one –

But I don't want to go in the light.

To see me in my present plight

Is not a pretty picture.

I got these bruises and black eye

Defending David's sister.

Why I did it, I have no idea

Sarah and I broke up two months past.

But when Morris started saying "whore!"

I punched him really fast.

From there it was an all-out brawl

Newsies punching right and left

Blindly following the cries of "fight!"

Blink kicked me in the chest.

Maybe what Morris said today

Has a grain of truth

Sarah has been seen with a lot of guys

Even Saul, the one with that tooth.

Getting over me is what I told the boys –

Yes, that is what she's doing

And even thought I dumped her

I still like to watch her sewing.

Smooth brown head bent over

Her slashing silver finger

Creating a hat for David or socks for Les

On the old, battered Singer.

Her smile is so sweet –

She's so nice and kind and true

I dropped her because I had no time…

But Sarah, I don't think I'm over you.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick

So tough and strong and smart

But right now I don't feel any of those things…

Sarah Jacobs still has a piece of my heart.
