Chapter 10
As she arrived, she noticed some of the newsies heading in and she joined them.
"Hiya Specs."
"Raven. thought ya weren't goin ta make it."
"I'se jus out sellin me papes late, dats all."
"Oh, come on let's get inside." Specs lead the way to where the rest of the newsies were. Specs and Raven sat down with Jack, Spot, Bumlets, Race, Blink, Mush, and Skittery. They waited a few minutes and the first act finally came on stage. The singing sent her flying back to a long forgotten childhood memory.
**Her mother was singing to her before bed. She always sang every night. Then she would kiss Melanie's forehead and pull the covers up real tight. The covers would be torn off in just a minute anyway. After her mother left, and some time passed her stepfather would come in drunk off his ass. He yanked the covers away and he had a horrible temper, she never wanted her mother to leave.**
Standing up in the middle of the song, she headed to the back stumbling over things littered on the floor because the rooms were so dark. Her hands shook and she felt faint. Raven didn't want to think about her parents. Looking around she found a back door that lead out to an alleyway. She needed to clear her mind for a minute.
Spot just noticed the exit door closing. It shut with a clang and he opened it and let himself out. She was sitting against a wall, slumped over. He sat next to her and she lifted her head and spoke "I'se not crying."
"Neva thought youse would." He sat there uncomfortably, not knowing what to do. Spot kind of patted her shoulder awkwardly. "Why'd ya run out Raven?" She didn't want to tell him but he sounded so comforting that she told him part of her story.
"My muddah was a singer." She trembled uncontrollably. He took her in his arms and deposited her on his lap. He paused for a moment but she didn't say anything. Just as he was about to speak, she kept going "She'd sing to me every night and that was when she'd leave." Raven couldn't continue at the moment.
"So ya miss ya muddah? Dat's all?" He made her sound foolish and childish.
She lifted her head up and met his blue eyes that appeared to be full of pity, one thing that Raven could not stand. Her eyes were normal and she clearly hadn't been crying to his surprise. Raven pulled out of his arms and stood up. "I'se not some little goil that cries for her muddah. Ya didn't let me finish, I would of told ya bout my stepfatha." Giving him one last glare, she spun and sprinted for the lodging house.
A/N: Spot is so mean I know. Tell me what you think. Please review, thanks to all my reviewers. Sorry this chapter is so short.
