Disclaimer: I don't own the Newsies. I also don't own the song that Spot sings. That is owned by Daniel Bedingfield. The song is called If Your Not The One. It's a really good song.
Chapter 10
For the next couple of weeks Kate hardly saw Spot. She figured he was busy with leader stuff. When Friday night rolled around, Spot wasn't anywhere to be found. Spot never missed Medda's shows. Mostly because Kate usually performed but even before Kate started working there he never missed a show. Kate decided she would go with the rest of the Brooklyn boys and meet Spot there. For all she knew he could already be there.
When Kate got to Medda's, she couldn't find Spot anywhere. She figured he had gotten tied up with something and would come later. Kate couldn't wait for the show to start. She had heard that there was going to be a special performance. The show started a couple of minutes later. After a couple of acts, Medda walked out on stage.
"We have a special performance for you tonight. It is a real treat to have him perform. So without further delay here he is."
The lights went down in the theater and the stage was completely dark. A few chords were played and a gorgeous voice started to sing.
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
The spotlight came up on Spot and he continued singing.
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I cryin' on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not the one then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not the one then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray the you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you whether it's wrong or it's right
And though I can't be with you tonight
I know my heart is by your side
I don't wanna run away but I can't take I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
When Spot finished, the whole theater was completely silent. Spot called Kate up on stage. Kate walked slowly up the stairs to the stage. When Kate reached him, Spot turned around and looked at her and gave her a nervous smile.
"Kate, I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but I feel like I've known ya me whole life. I love you with all my heart and soul." Spot then took out a simple gold ring, took her hand in his, and got down on one knee. "Will you marry me Kate?"
Kate stood there for a moment in complete and udder awe. This was the last thing she expected. She knew Spot loved her, but she never expected this. A smile slowly came to her lips.
"Of course I'll marry you!" exclaimed Kate. Spot put the ring on her finger, stood up, and gave her a passionate kiss. The whole theater got to their feet and applauded. There were whistles, catcalls, and a few "way to go Spot".
Spot and Kate walked back to the table Kate had been sitting at and sat down. Everyone was still applauding.
"Hey Spot, I didn't know ya could sing. How come ya never sang for me?" Lady said.
"Shut up Lady." Was the response she got.
The rest of the night was filled with congratulations, laughter, and music.
