Chapter 20: Trouble in the Alley.
I woke up with Blink sitting by my bed. I looked at him for a minute and then remembered Race had left. I smiled up at him.
"Heya Blinky." I said cheerfully. "Your happy…" He said stating the oblivious.
"I'm glad he's gone, where's everyone else?"
"Tibby's, spot was gonna wait here, but I wanted to."
"Really? Why's that?" I asked him.
"Well, Race was me best friend, I jist wanted ta make sure ya were okay…" He mumbled. I laughed at him but quickly stopped when he looked up at me offended.
I smiled, "So even Ponine left without me?"
"Yea, Just me. Bettah go wash up cause we gotta meet dem at Tibby's."
"5 minutes." I answered him.
At Tibby's I got mumbles of sorry and confused looks. "Why are you so happy?" Spot asked. Jack nudged him.
"Its ok, I'm glad he's gone, I don't ever want to see him again." I told them. After I had a drink I decided to walk around by myself.
I walked around Manhattan and bought and apple from a vendor, when someone came up from behind me and took it.
"What the hell?" I yelled to them.
"Ooh, I thought you wouldn't mind sharing." Said Oscar I glared at him. "Well I do so give it back you man whore!" I told him, lunging for the apple but missing and landing on the ground.
"Whats wrong little goily, can't handle two of us?" Moris said while towering over me. I swung my legs in a circle knocking him on his back.
Oscar looked taken aback and threw the apple at me. It hit me in the upper arm when I ran toward him and tackled him. Moris had come up from behind me and hit me in the back. I guess someone heard us because Ponine and Chewy were joining us.
"Leave her alone you Jackass!" Chewy screamed as she hit Moris on the head with a bottle. I glanced back giving Oscar time to throw me off of him, and I hit my head on the wall.
"Hey! Back off you scrub! Ponine yelled as she took off her shoe and hit him square in the face. I looked over at Chewy who was now biting the hand the Moris had rung around her neck. I came up from behind him and hit him with the brass knuckles that had fallen out of his pocket. He stopped and yelled in pain, and we took that as an opportunity to run for it.
We stopped when we thought they were gone and laughed in the middle of the street. Jack walked up to us. "Whats so funny?" I leaned against him.
"Nuthin." Ponine said as she sighed. He saw me still wearing the brass knuckles.
"Where the hell did ya get those?" He demanded.
"We jist got in a fight wit da Delancys, and-"
"We won!" Chewy chimed in. He shook his head and started laughing.
"Lets go back to da lodgin house."
"I cant." I mumbled. They stared at me.
"Look, Stormy, I know ya miss him, but it aint worth-"
"That's not it." I said laughing. I have to go and practice with Medda.
They smiled and nodded as I walked swiftly over to Ivering Hall. As I was on my way I ran into some old friends.
"Well, well, well…" said Oscar.
"How's it goin?" I teased. He pulled out a gun and my smile faded.
"Good, very good. We'se was jist about ta get rid of a little problem."
"If you shoot me you will die." I told him.
He grinned. "Nah, nah, see, if we shoot ya in da head, we get it over wit quick. If we do dis-" He said as he shot me in my side. I automatically doubled over in pain.
"Then ya get ta suffer." Moris finished. They smiled as they tucked the gun away and left the alleyway.
*~*At the Lodging House*~*
Medda walked in the door. "Has anyone seen Stormy? She was supposed to meet me at the Hall." She said.
Jack looked around. "We thought she was wit you'se." It was quiet for a minute.
"I dunno. We'll go out and look for hoir. You guys stay here in case she comes back. And Medda, ya bettah go back ta da hall in case if ya missed hoir."
Ponine, Medda and Chewy nodded as Blink, Jack, Spot and Mush set out to look for me.
After a few hours Mush stumbled over something. He looked down. "Guys…GUYS!" He yelled, picking up my lifeless body.
"Holy shit." Spot breathed.
Jack ran over to Mush. "She was shot, who shot hoir?!" He yelled to no one.
Blink came over. "We bettah tell da goils." He stated, giving the body one more look before walking away.
"What do I do wit hoir?" Mush asked. Jack took my body from Mush's arms and told the guys he'd meet them later. After stealing a shovel he buried the body.
*~* Back with the Girls *~*
"WHAT?" Chewy yelled. "She was shot." Blink confirmed.
"No…" Ponine said before she started crying to Itey.
"What happened?" Crutchy said, just walking in. Chewy ran over to him and pulled him into a hug.
"Shes gone…" She said to him. He glanced around.
"Ya mean stormy? So she went ta Santa Fe?" He asked confused. "No Crutchy, shes gone." He stared wide-eyed at Chewy as tears began to fall from her eyes again.
Kloppman walked over and handed Chewy a small box. "What is it?" She asked him, taking the box. "From Stormy." He mumbled. She rushed to open it, and inside there was a note.
Chewy,
I'm gonna miss ya. If ya reading dis den it means I died. I know we wasn't related but I'se had ta tell ya sat you'se was jist like me sistah. I hope you and Crutchy are doing ok. Tell everyone I said hey. Love
Stormy
"So that's it, shes really gone." Ponine said. Chewy nodded her head as they headed back to the bunkroom.
