Raven leaned against the wall for support clutching Jack's bandana tightly, her knuckles turning white against the dirty red. She slumped slowly to the ground as crystalline streaks downed her face silently. Her body started shaking violently as the sobs overtook her. Pure pain and sadness encompassed her body as she curled her knees to her chest in an attempt to shield herself from her own tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack stopped and watching silently as the train pulled into the station. He looked around carefully and hopped into one of the dusty cars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunlight streamed into the bunkroom and lit up the dusty wooden floor, leaving a path of gold on the wood grains. Heavy steps were heard climbing the steps slowly and deliberately making Raven sob harder with each pounding step, to her it felt as though her heart was ripping each time the sound came closer. The harsh realty that Jack had really left her settling in her soul with each stomp on the rickety wooden stairs.
"UP!!! BOYS UP!!!!!" Kloppman yelled at the top of his lungs. Each boy groaned and moved slowly in their bunk. Raven lifted her head quickly and turned to Jack's bunk...their bunk, no movement, and no noise. She jumped up quickly and dashed into the washroom, slamming the door behind her. Every single boy jumped at the sound of the door and Kloppman stopped his morning ritual. Race sat up and looked to Jack's bunk....empty....empty? wait that can't be right....why would Jack's bunk be empty?
"BLINK!" Race kicked the mattress above him and Blink groaned. "BLINK GET UP!" Kid Blink flopped his head over the side and scowled at Race.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YA WANT RACE!" Blink said angrily.
"Do a double check at Jack's bunk would ya? He ain't dere is 'e?" Race nodded his head over in the direction of Jack's bunk. Blink did as asked and his eyes widened at the realization.
"Race........he's gone!" Race nodded. "GUYS! JACK'S GONE!" Blink called to the room, everyone dropped what they were holding and froze. Gone?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack stood by the door of the railway car and studied it closely. Hay was littering the floor and a smell of horse manure hung in the air. He turned his head to a corner of the box and saw two men sitting there drinking and playing cards. Poker, he thought to himself, Boy would Race love this. Jack took a seat in the corner across from them and sat down hiding himself in the darkness. The dark...almost like her eyes, like Raven's eyes. Her Face came clearly to him then, with a shining smile, lighting up her outstanding features, creating an angelic halo about her. He leaned his head against the scratchy wood, closing his eyes and a tear rolled down his chiseled cheek. He could actually sense her broken heart, her pain matching that of his own. He could smell her hair, he could feel it brushing against him, creating small goose bumps on his skin. He opened his sad brown eyes and the reality smacked him in the face, she wasn't there, she wasn't leaning against him whispering in his ear, kissing his neck softy, he couldn't talk to her, he would never see his beloved again.
"Hey Kid!" One of the men called to him from the other side of the room. Jack turned his head to them and stared.
"Yea you...that's right"
"Listen I ain't in a chatty mood...undahstand." Jack said coldly to the blonde haired stranger .
"Hey...just tryin to find out about the new arrival" the man's blue eyes shot into him dangerously.
"Well don't do me any favors." Jack shot back "Come on Colin...Lay off, can't ya tell he's upset, leave him alone." The stranger's dark haired companion spoke up, not removing his eyes from his poker cards.
"Just tryin to talk to the kid Jesse." Colin looked to Jesse.
"Well don't, if he wanted to talk to ya he would have." Jesse replied.
"Where yous goin?" Jack asked, turning his body to face them.
"Santa Fe......Can't wait to get back" Jesse answered.
"My luck, that's where I'se headin"
"I can tell your a kid who can take the west....unless your heart is in New York."
"What do ya mean 'eart?" Jesse and Colin both laughed.
"Listen kid...your heartbroken, I can see it, I've been there, You never leave your heart behind and expect to move on." Jesse continued.
"If ya leave your heart...you become an outlaw." Colin said smartly.
"Shut up Colin!" Jesse snapped.
"Outlaw?" Jack questioned. Colin tossed Jack a beer which he caught and snapped open.
"Yea outlaw...like Jesse James."
"Shut up Colin!" Jesse repeated. Jack chugged some of his beer and watched the two warily.
"What's your name kid?"
"Jack Kelly."
"He's an outlaw alright." Colin assured himself. Jesse laughed.
"Yea Colin like Jesse James." Jesse said drinking a beer as well.
"Like you" Jack then realized who he was talking to, it couldn't be, why would he be all the way in New York.
"Your Jesse James?"
"Look what you did Colin, scared the shit outta him."
"Your no fun Jesse James, he ain't scared, just lookin for adventure right Jack Kelly."
"Yea...I think it's time to leave my 'eart behind." The three of them clanked their beers together and smiled at each other.

Raven locked herself in the lavatory and wouldn't come out. She sat leaning against the door.
"Ravy! Open up, Ya gotta come outta dere!" Race said as he pounded on the door along with Kid Blink, Mush, Skittery and a few others.
"GO THE FUCK AWAY!" She screamed through the door and flung the toilet paper over the wall. It clonked Mush in the head. They continued pounding on the door, until finally Raven shoved the door open and the toppled inside.
"There pee all ya want!" She hurried over to counter where all the bathroom needs were held and walked over to Jack's space. She looked at her face in the mirror, it was sunken in slightly and pale, her eyes were red and puffy and dark circles hung underneath. Her lack of sleep and crying had taken a toll on her exotic appearance. She opened her palm and stared at the bandana.
"Jack..." She whispered quietly to herself. She covered her face with it,sucked in his smell as new tears wet the course fabric. She wrapped the bandana around her auburn hair and tied it securely underneath. She smoothed her waves with her fingers. Her new kerchief let her hair flow through the gaping hole. She wiped her eyes and strode out of the washroom.
"ANY ONE OF YA SAY JACK KELLY IN MY PRESENCE AN' YA DIE!" The boys stared at her and nodded. She walked out of the bunkroom and ran out of the lodging house taking him the air of the day. The weather was uncharacteristic of the mood of the Manhattan newsie population. Sunny and bright contrasting with their Rainy and gray.
