AN: ahoy there matey. Sorry it took me so long to update but school started last week and I really haven't had time to write. Thank God for study hall. I hope you like this chapter. You get to meet some new characters and you get to know what happened between Spot and Lady. I do not own Angelfish. She owns herself. But I do own Kate, Reticent, Arts, Bookworm, and Lady. Without taking up anymore of your time here is chapter 12. I hope you like your character so far Angelfish. Let me know if I need to change anything.
Chapter 12
"What?" Spot yelled. He was completely and utterly shocked.
"I said I love you." Lady repeated.
"It's a little late ta tell me that now. I'm with Kate and I love her with all me heart." Spot yelled at her. He couldn't believe she was doing this to him.
"I know but I can't help it. When I see ya with her I wanna beat the shit out of her."
"Well ya sure as hell didn't love me when ya broke me heart."
"I was stupid then Spot."
"It's a little late for apologies."
"Do you really love her Spot?" Lady asked moving closer to him.
"I love with all me heart." Spot responded.
"Are ya sure?" she asked. Spot didn't even get a chance to answer her when Lady pressed her lips to his.
Kate had been waiting in the lobby for Spot and she was growing impatient. They had been in there for a while. She decided to go see what was going on so she got up off the chair she was sitting on and went to the door. When she opened the door, her heart broke in two. She saw Spot and Lady locked in a kiss. Kate couldn't do anything for a while.
"Oh my God." Was all she could say after a few moments. At the sound of her voice Spot and Lady parted like the Red Sea.
"Kate, this isn't what it looks like." Spot tried to explain.
"It looked like you two were kissing." Kate said very angry now.
"Yes, we were but..." Spot said.
"Did last night mean nothing to you? Do I mean anything to you? I thought you loved me." Kate said cutting Spot off.
"Of course last night meant something. It meant everything ta me. You mean everything ta me. I love ya Kate. Just let me explain." Spot responded.
"You don't need to explain. I knew it couldn't be true. I knew you couldn't love someone like me. You were the first person I gave myself to. I can't believe I thought you loved me. Here's your ring back Spot. Goodbye." Kate said throwing the ring at him with tears flowing freely done her cheeks. Kate then turned and ran out of the lodging house.
"No. Kate wait!" Spot called and started to follow Kate but Lady caught his arm and Spot turned to look at her.
"Let her go. She'll get over it."
"Shut up Lady. Why did ya have ta do that? Why do ya have ta ruin everything? For once if your life could ya do somethin' right?" Spot yelled at her then ran out of the lodging house to try and find Kate.
Kate ran all the way to Manhattan but she didn't want to go to the lodging house, but she had no other choice. She had nowhere else to go. Medda's was full, so she headed to the lodging house. Kate got lucky for when she got to the lodging house no one was insight. The newsies hadn't come back from selling yet. She entered the lodging house and went straight to the washroom. She figured if the guys came back they would know she was there until she came out and she would be ready to answer their questions. When she entered the washroom, she one of the boys' razors sitting on the counter. Kate stared at it for a little while then looked around her to make sure no one was there then she grabbed the razor and headed for the roof.
Kate sat on the roof for a while just staring at the razor. Should she do it? It would take away the pain. She thought. So Kate slowly slide the razor over her wrists. Blood ran down her arms. She felt free like a big weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. Kate just let the blood run down her arms. She didn't care. She didn't want to live. Her reason for living didn't love her. Soon she started to feel dizzy and she felt like all the energy in her body had been sucked out of her. She soon closed her eyes and passed out.
Spot had run all over Brooklyn trying to find Kate but no one had seen her and she wasn't in any alleys. Manhattan. He thought. Spot ran as fast as he could go to Manhattan. He had to find Kate. There was no telling what she might do.
The first person he came to was Jack. He knew Jack would know where Kate was.
"Jack!" Spot shouted over the crowd.
"Hey Spot. Didn't ya just leave?" Jack asked.
"Yeah but I'm lookin' for Kate. Have ya seen her?" Spot replied.
"No I haven't seen her but I'll let ya know when I do." Jack answered.
"Alright. Well, I'll be in Brooklyn."
"Alright. See ya Spot."
"See ya Jack." Spot walked back to Brooklyn worried and heart broken.
When Kate woke up, she looked around her to see that she was in the bunkroom. To her right sat a girl with shoulder length brown hair with strawberry blonde highlights, gray-blue eyes, and an olive complexion. Kate also noticed that this girl was not over weight but not skinny either. She guessed the girl to be about 5'6". Kate saw that this girl was talking to another girl that was about 5'5" with short strawberry blonde hair, light brown eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a quiet sort of smile on her face. All of a sudden the girl sitting next to her turned to Kate then turned back to the other girl and started talking to her.
"Reticent, go get Jack." The one girl said and the other ran out of the room.
"Who are you?" asked Kate.
"I'm Bookworm. Blink's girl." The girl answered. Just then Jack came running in with Blink, Race, Mush, the girl Kate had seen earlier, and two other girls.
"Kate, you're awake. Thank God. We all thought you gonna die." Jack said.
"How did I get in the bunkroom?" Kate asked.
"Arts and Angelfish came up ta the bunkroom and found the window open so they went up ta the roof and found ya passed out and blood everywhere. They brought ya down ta the bunkroom." Jack answered.
"Who the hell are Arts and Angelfish?" asked Kate.
"That's Arts." Jack said pointing to a girl with ass length blonde hair, water blue eyes, and pale skin. Kate guessed she was about 5'8".
"She's my girl. That's Angelfish." Jack pointed to a girl next to Race. She had straight brown hair with red streaks that lay just below her shoulders, milk chocolate eyes, and tan skin. Kate guessed she was about 5'6".
"She's Race's girl. Reticent and Bookworm have been taking care of ya."
"How long have I been out?" Kate asked.
"Three days. We haven't told Spot yet. He's really worried about ya. Do you know how hard it is ta hide ya from him?" Jack responded.
"I'm surprised he's even worried about me." Kate commented more to herself than to the others but Jack heard it loud and clear.
"Why wouldn't he be worried about ya?" Jack asked in surprise.
"Never mind. I don't wanna talk about it." Responded Kate.
"I think we should leave and let Kate sleep." Jack said standing up and moving towards the door with everyone following behind. Bookworm closed the door quietly behind her on her way out.
"Alright, here's the plan. I'll go over ta Brooklyn and tell Spot we found her. Bookworm, I want you ta wait until Kloppman comes back. Tell him that Kate's awake and find out when we can move her to her room. Everyone else go sell papes." Everyone nodded in agreement and started to leave. Before Jack left he remembered something.
"Oh and Bookworm." Jack said turning toward her.
"Yeah Jack?"
"Try and find out what happened between her and Spot."
"Sure thing Jack."
Jack started for the door but Bookworm stopped him.
"Were you planning on telling Spot about the Bronx and Harlem?" Bookworm asked.
"No. I figure he's got enough ta worry about." Jack replied.
"You should tell him soon Jack. The attacks are getting worse."
"I know they are Bookworm. I'll tell him."
"Alright and I'll see what I can find out from her."
"Thanks Bookworm." Jack gave her a quick hug then left the lodging house.
Back upstairs, Kate was trying every possible way to fall asleep but the images of the kiss kept replaying in her head. Kate heard the door open and saw Bookworm come in. Bookworm walked over to Kate's bunk and sat on the edge of the bunk.
"So how did you get the name Bookworm?" Kate asked and Bookworm laughed a little.
"I've always got my head in a book. I love reading. Do you have a nickname?"
"It's Nightmare."
"How'd ya get that?"
"When I first came to Brooklyn I had a lot of them."
"Oh. So what happened between you and Spot?" Bookworm asked.
"You heard my comment?"
"Yeah."
"Well I don't wanna talk about it."
"Come on. You can tell me anything. Everyone does anyway. I'm the person everybody comes to with his or her problems. I'm bond to find out soon or later."
"It all started when I saw my father killed. I ran away and that's when I met Spot. He got me a job as a newsie and taught me everything I needed to know. He was so kind to me. We both fell in love with each other. Everything was going great. We were happy together. We were going to get married. Then Lady came into the picture. She had wanted to talk to Spot so I waited in the lobby. They had been talking for a long time so I went to see what they were doing and when I opened the door I saw them..." Kate couldn't finish the sentence.
"Kissing?" Bookworm asked. Kate only nodded her head. Bookworm moved so that she was sitting next to Kate and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry Kate."
Jack kept his head down as he walked to Brooklyn. He knew the way like the back of his hand. He wondered how he was going to tell Spot that he had found Kate three days ago but never told him without Spot getting mad. He also debated about if he should tell Spot about the Bronx and Harlem now or wait 'til he needed Brooklyn's help. If he waited that long it might be too late. Before he knew it, Jack was at the docks.
Spot saw Jack walking down the docks and figured he had news.
"Did ya find Kate?" Spot asked as soon as Jack was close enough.
"Yeah, we found her three days ago. I wanted ta wait 'til she woke up ta tell ya." Replied Jack
"What? You waited three days ta tell me?" Spot yelled.
"Yeah, I did. She tried ta kill herself Spot. I wanted ta find out why and if ya had somethin' ta do wit it, it wouldn't help her if ya were around." Jack replied. Spot couldn't say anything. He couldn't believe she had tried to kill herself and he was the reason why.
"How is she?" he asked a few moments later.
"She's doin' ok. She's awake. Bookworm is takin' care a her." Jack replied. There were a few moments of silence between them.
"I know ya just found out about the whole Kate thing and I don't mean ta give ya more ta worry about but the attacks from Harlem and the Bronx are getting' worse. I would suspect that they'll launch a full-fledged attack on Manhattan soon. I'm gonna need Brooklyn's help." Jack said breaking the silence.
"Don't worry about it Jack. Ya got Brooklyn's full support. Just let me know when ya need us." Spot said. Jack couldn't help but notice the look on Spot's face. It was one he had never seen before.
"Ya really love her don't ya?" Jack asked. Spot looked at him surprised.
"Yeah, I do." Spot replied.
Kate had fallen asleep soon after her talk with Bookworm and when she woke up she noticed the newsies had come back from selling.
Race noticed that Kate was awake so he folded from the game of poke he was playing and walked over to Kate.
"How ya doin' Kate?" he asked sitting on the edge of her bunk.
"I'm doing ok. What happened to Moody?" Kate asked.
"It just didn't work out. Medda said I was spendin' too much time over there and was distracting her. She was gonna quite but I told her she shouldn't quite somethin' she loves doin' just for me."
"I'm sorry Race."
"I got Angelfish now. She's fun ta be around, speaks her mind, and outgoin'. She does have a quick temper though."
"She sounds great Race. I'm happy for the both of you."
"So what happened between you and Spot?" Race asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Kate replied.
"Ah, come on Kate. You can tell me anything." Race pleaded.
"Race, stop badgering the girl. If she doesn't wanna tell ya, she doesn't wanna tell ya. Get over it." Bookworm said from her bunk across the room never moving her eyes from what she was reading. Kate tried hard not to laugh, as did the rest of the bunkroom. Just then Jack walked into the bunkroom.
"Bookworm, can I talk ta ya?" asked Jack.
"Yeah." Bookworm replied and put her book down on her bed. So Jack led Bookworm to the lobby.
"So what did ya find out?" Jack asked her.
"I found out that Lady's causin' more trouble." She replied.
"That doesn't surprise me. What'd she do now?"
"Lady supposedly needed to talk with Spot so Kate waited. Well after a while Kate went to see what was taking them so long and caught the two kissing. I'm guessing not by Spot's choice." Bookworm explained.
"So that's what this is all about." Jack said not to surprised by it.
"I'm gonna kill him!" came a voice at the top of the stairs. Jack and Bookworm looked up to see Arts, Reticent, Blink, Mush, Racetrack, and Angelfish. Angelfish was the newest to the group so she really hadn't heard about Lady'd reputation.
"More like kill Lady. Spot would never cheat on Kate with Lady. Spot would never cheat on Kate period." Said Jack.
"What'd ya mean Jack?" Arts asked.
"Spot's hated Lady ever since she broke up wit him." Jack replied.
"What happened?" Reticent asked quietly.
"Well, when Spot first saw Lady it was like love at first sight for Spot at least. Spot finally asked her out about a week after they met. Everythin' was goin' great. Spot was completely head over heels in love wit her and it looked like she loved him too. Well, one day, she comes waltzin' in the lodgin' house wit a guy from Harlem. Spot walks over ta them and tries ta talk ta Lady. Her little friend asks if she knows him and she says she's never seen him before. Needless ta say it broke Spot's heart. That's one a da reasons Spot's so hard. Lady broke his heart even more when she went out wit practically every guy in Brooklyn and Manhattan." Jack explained but before anyone could say anything, the door burst open and a newsie came in with two other newsies behind him carrying a badly beat up newsie.
"What the hell happened?" Jack asked.
"We got trouble Jack." The first boy replied.
