Chapter 2
They started to walk to Manhattan to go to Tibby's. When they got to the Brooklyn Bridge, Kate stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't move. She couldn't break the promise she had made to herself. Spot turned around to find Kate standing at the entrance to the bridge. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. Kate jumped a little but she didn't say anything.
"Are you alright?" Spot asked Kate.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why don't you go ahead. I'm not that hungry." Kate replied.
"Are ya sure?" Spot asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Kate said. Spot looked at Kate with concern in his eyes. "I'm fine, really. Go ahead. I'll read the book I started this morning." Kate said trying to reassure Spot that she would be fine. Spot nodded his head and ran to catch up with the others.
A couple of hours had past and Spot hadn't come back yet. Kate was starting to wonder if he was okay. She was so hungry. Maybe she should've gone along. Maybe she should've have broken her promise. Her mind wandered to different things. She wondered why she cared so much about Spot. She'd never cared about someone so much since her dad had died.
Spot walked quickly down the street since he was half an hour late. He walked into the lodging house and ran up the stairs. When Spot got to the bunkroom, he saw Kate sleeping peacefully. He debated whether to let her sleep or wake her up. He decided to let her sleep since she needed a good nights rest and he'd give her the food tomorrow.
The next morning Spot left the food on the floor next to her bunk with a note that read:
I thought ya might be hungry so I brought ya some food. Sorry I had ta leave but I gotta make a livin'.
Spot
When Kate woke up, she once again noticed that no one was around. She also noticed a box on the floor with a note on the top. She read the note and ate the food quickly. When she was done eating, she decided to look around the lodging house. She left the bunkroom and went up the stairs right outside the door of the bunkroom to the third floor. At the top of the stairs there was a door. Kate opened the door to a large room with extra bunks and chairs. She walked over and sat on one of the bunks. She sat there for what seemed like hours. Kate didn't notice Spot walk into the room.
"Are you ok?" Spot asked
"Yeah. Thanks for the food." Kate replied never moving her gaze. Spot walked over and sat down next to her. There was an awkward silence between them.
"Ya need ta talk about anything?" Spot asked after awhile. Kate looked at Spot then looked back at what she had before. For the first time Spot realized how beautiful Kate was. Kate had brown blonde hair down to her shoulders. Her eyes where the color of the ocean on a sunny day, crystal blue. Her skin was a light tan color and her lips were ruby red and full. Spot couldn't take his eyes off of her. Suddenly he was ripped from his thoughts.
"We should go. The papes don't sell themselves." Kate said.
"Yeah, we should go." Spot replied.
