Dreamer Conlon-Thanks for the review. I can't really think of much else to
say, but I'm glad you like.
Clips-Since you're mad at me maybe this chapter isn't a great one. Maybe it's just really short one that isn't very good. Everyone you can thank her. Tonya dying isn't in my plans yet but not a bad idea..no I wouldn't. Yea I was planning on ending the story and then I thought of that little twist so whatever. I'm trying to get better I really am, it's just hard. Thanks for another review. Oh and there's a lot more I could do believe me.
Merp- Yea this was another emotional chapter which is really kind of weird for me. i'm glad you liked the chapter and thank you for reviewing again.
Angel Fish7-Well of course we know Spot loves Raven. I mean it's dead obvious to everyone except well Raven lol. It was kind of sad, damn Raven and her conscience and her damn pride ya know? Thanks for another great review.
Sarah Kate- I figured that twist would be unexpected, everyone expected happily ever after but I have to change that lol. I'll try and update faster, we all need things to keep us sane during school. Another review, thanks.
An undercover newsie-Well yea Raven wasn't supposed to do that but it's all noble and all self sacrificing and so sweet. Okay I'll try and keep updating and thanks for the review.
Chapter 30
Raven morosely turned over in bed. Cowboy was supposed to be coming back any minute to take her back to New York. God how she missed it. Things hadn't been the same in a while. She wanted to go back to the lodging house and see everything again. To see Snipeshooter stealing Race's cigars, the poker games. Everything. It seemed like such a long time had passed.
"Ya ready ta go?" Jack came in and sat on the edge of her bed.
"More den you'll eva know." Raven remarked drily.
"Did ya miss us?" Jack asked with a smirk. Thankfully he had not asked about Spot the whole time he had been here so Raven had been relieved but still on guard for that name to pop up.
"Yea, I miss da pokah games." Jack laughed.
"Well ya cin join one as soon as we get back." He grew serious. "You are not ta sell for weeks. Is dat clear?"
"Yea crystal." Raven replied sadly.
"Ya have ta give ya body some time ta heal."
"I know. It's just I'd give almost anything to be healed and normal right now." Raven thought longingly of Spot.
"I know ya would. I'd like ta see ya healed up and talkin ta Spot again."
Raven winced inwardly. "I was rather hoping we wouldn't have ta talk about him."
"Raven, he's my best friend. You're one of my newsies and I care a lot about ya. I'm worried, Spot is depressed, everyone could tell it da moment he walked back inta da city."
"Well he's goin ta be fine. He'll find anuddah goil and she can be the leader's goil. I can't."
"and why not?"
"I just can't Jack. Please don't force da subject. I don't want ta talk about it right now. If I do feel like talkin bout it then I'll come ta you." Jack looked so crushed that she had to add that last bit.
"Alright but I want ya ta know dat I'm heah fer ya." Jack patted her shoulder comfortingly. "Now let's get ya out of heah."
"Yes!!" Raven nearly jumped for joy. "Now please."
"Come on." Jack picked her up and they walked to the door.
"Thank ya very much fer everyt'ing." Raven said as they passed the doctor.
"It was no problem, it excited up my life for a bit. Never had a guy come in here and threaten the receptionist. She resigned the next day. Thank God. I've wanted that woman out forever. She was just the best applicable." The doctor smiled sheepishly and then motioned them out.
"Bye." They called back as they left.
A few days later they arrived back in New York City. Raven took a deep breath and sighed happily. "It's good to be back."
"I bet."
"Yea now let's go back ta da lodging house." Jack swung her up into his arms and they set down the street.
Jack carried her into the lodging house and up the steps. They walked into the room and the boys all immediately shut up.
"Raven. Good ta see ya back." Race said. It had an underlying emotion but Raven couldn't make out what it was. He didn't sound totally thrilled with her being back, almost as if he knew something she didn't. It was more of a feeling she got from his words, not something that most people would pick up.
A few more greetings came from around the room but none were very enthusiastic. Raven didn't comment on it and Jack didn't say anything so Raven assumed that being a guy he didn't really pick up on it. "I'm kind of tired so I'se goin ta bed."
"Alright." Jack glared at her sternly. "You aren't sellin tomorrow."
"I know. I can't wait until I can sell again."
"Three weeks."
"Two."
"Three."
"Two"
"Three" All the newsies looked on in amazement. Raven ignore them. Why would she have changed in the time she had left?
"Two"
"Three."
"Two and a half."
"Deal." Raven smiled and then went and laid down on her bunk. "Night all." She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
A/n: I updated faster. Yay me. lol. Please review.
