It was two days before Jack and Blink could get back to come and see me. Headlines had been so bad that they had been out almost all day and were beat when they got back to the Lodging House.
They let themselves in to see the office was back in business. Mrs. Brown was working the desk and Dylan and Dr. Brown were seeing patience. They approached the desk. "Oh, it is you." Said Mrs. Brown looking at Blink. Blink saw in her eyes that he still did not except him and saw him and Jack lower than herself.
"Good mornin' ma'am." Blink said taking off his hat.
"Who's this?" She asked looking Jack up and down.
"De names Jack Kelly ma'am."
"Boy you can not just bring you r friends here to se Jennifer whenever you want." Many of the rich ladies watched and whispered. The less fortunate just turned to gaze at the floor, ceiling, or wall finding it at that moment very interesting. Dr. Brown also came out of the room he was in.
"Estella it is ok. Boys you can go up, I am pretty sure she is awake." Mrs. Brown looked up in pure shock. Dr. Brown just nodded his head.
"Dank ya sir." Said Jack as he and Blink headed for the stairs at the end of the hallway. Both were surprised to see Mr. And Mrs. Brown working and not sitting next to Jenny's bed. Jack knocked on the door softly.
"Come in." I smiled when I saw who entered. "Francis, Blink." My voice was now strong and full of life. Both were happy to see me sitting up in bed reading. Jack cringed a little to be called Francis again. "What?" I asked.
"I don't go by de name Francis Sullivan anymore. One I 'ate de name Francis and two it is not safe on de streets anymore. My new name is Jack Kelly." I thought about this for a moment. Kelly was our mother's name.
"Oh." I said. "Well then you are going to have to call Me Jennifer Kelly, I mean we are brother and sister, right?"
"Yeah." Said Jack. Blink stood by the door quietly watching them. A part of him was jealous that I was only talking to Jack and that Jack had his sister back when he knew he could never get Saline back. Images of his sister went through his head.
"Blink." His thoughts were cut off by my voice. "Blink is everything alright?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You seemed to have something on your mind."
"It's nodin'." Said Blink coming to sit on the other side of the bed, next to me. He leaned over and kissed me gently on the cheek.
"Jenny I gotta go, but I'll come back tanight."
"Ok, I'll see you later." He closed the door softly leaving Blink and me by ourselves. Blink looked at me and then out the open window. "What's wrong?"
"I told ya it was nudin'."
"Liar."
"Jist back off Jennifer." The sharpness of his voice took me by surprised. "I am sorry." He said lowering her voice. I took his hand in my and held it.
"Please tell me what's wrong. Did I do something?"
"No." Blink couldn't look at me.
"Then what is it?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do."
"Listen I jist don't wanna talk about it." His voice rising again. "So drop it."
"Fine." I said. I could feel tear swelling up in my eyes and I couldn't look at him.
"I talk ta ya lata." Said Blink heading for the open window and stepping onto the fire escape. He stopped abruptly when he found himself face to face with Jack.
"Blink." He said. Blink just pushed past him and climbed down the fire escape. Jack came in through the window and sat next to me. Tears that I had tried to hide started to stream down my face and cried harder than I ever did in my entire life. I was glad at that moment to have Jack back in my life, but a part of me felt incomplete without Blink.
"What did I do Jack?"
"I don't know." He said hugging me tightly.
"Don't leave me Jack." I cried not wanting to be alone.
"Never again."
Author's Note: I know this chapter is a little short, but I am going to try and make the next one a lot longer. ~*Moonlight*~
