Chapter 10: Sunken
I could still feel Race's protective arms wrapped around me when I woke up. I looked around to see the rest of the bunks were empty, guess the newsies were probably out selling their papes. I sat up on the bed and slowly shook Race awake.
After a few minutes of lightly shaking him I rolled me eyes and grabbed my pillow. "Get up ya lazy bum!" I yelled to him. It didn't seem to have much affect so I hit him with the pillow.
"Huh? What? Oh, Stormy.How ya feelin? Ya bettah?" He asked, moving closer to me.
I playfully shoved him away. "I'se fine, I'se fine, it was jist a bad dream is all." I said convincingly. He looked over at the clock that read: 11:47. The boys were about to head to Tibby's in a few hours so we decided to take a walk.
We walked out of the Lodging House and onto the crowded streets of Manhattan.
"Ya wanna walk ta Brooklyn?" Race asked. I looked at him. "Sure." I mumbled uncertainly.
"Whats wrong?"
"I jist thought it'd be weird, I didn't think ya'd wanna walk ta Brooklyn." I told him honestly, but leaving out the fact that I didn't wanna see spot.
We walked in silence for a few minutes and the streets slowly became less crowded.
"Why'd ya think ya was gonna hoit me?" He asked. I stopped, listening to the question. I had almost gotten the dream out of my mind, and of course he had to bring it up.
"Ya really wanna know?"
"Yea."
"Well, It jist seems that all of da people I love end up dying.alone.and unhappy, I jist didn't wanna see ya go." I told him, looking at my shoes.
"I'll never let ya leave me." He told me surely, pulling me into a hug. I pulled away and stared waking again, leaving him behind me, confused.
"I won't hug ya if ya don't want me to." He told me solemnly.
I didn't answer. By now we could see the docks of Brooklyn. I closed my eyes, turned toward him and kissed him. He tasted like honey and I never wanted to let go, I wanted to savor this moment forever but I couldn't. I pulled him into a hug, with a single silver tear making its way down my face.
"I love you." I said crying. Before he could answer I ran. I ran down to the docks, past the newsies, over the boxes, and I ran until I could feel the water in the air, and I thought my legs were about to fall off. And I jumped. I jumped into the water and I loved the feeling as it engulfed my body in its cool waves. And I smiled as I sunk, along with my heart, which already longed for Race.
~*~ YAY! That's not the end though. Lol. there WILL be more, just not sure when =) lol.*~*
