Still Hope Left
Loud Mouth's POV
Here I am, cold, tired, hungry, and worried. Where the hell was Azure? She should be here by now!
Then suddenly there was a shadow upon me. I looked up to see Jack standing there.
"Whacha doing here all by yerself?"
"Hey Jack...um where's Azure?"
"She got sick or somthin' and had ta take hospitality at David's house.Don't worry she's fine and David has a nice family"
Poor Azure! So that means that she didn't prevent Jack from meeting Sarah, she must be crushed! I guess I'm not the only one who's plans didn't go as expected.
"You didn't answer my question"
"What?"
"Why are you out here alone? Don't cha have someplace ta go"
"I thought I did. I thought I could stay here like the other newsies, but no, Race, Kid, and Mush told me otherwise. And now I here sitting alone with no place ta go!" I said crying on purpose for sympathy.
"And they wonder why they have no goilfriends" Jack said jokingly, then he said, "I pretty sure that Kloppman has a spare bunk and if not then you can use mine, come"
He's so nice! He's so perfect for Azure, too bad he already met Sarah! There must be some way to get his mind off Sarah……..Then it came to me, I then realized that there was one thing, one thing to make Jack forget about Sarah in less than a heartbeat! I knew now what I had to do! Azure is going to thank me for this!
We entered the lodging house. Although this was my first time there, it felt as if I have been here millions of times (but I watched it a million times), everything was so familiar! I'm in heaven! Well actually not really, heaven for me is at Brooklyn in Spot's strong arms, but it is really close. We walked to the front office where Kloppman was.
"Hey Kloppman"
"Heya Jack, did you eat well?"
"Yes I did. I was wondering, do ya have an extra bunk for my friend……"
"Loud Mouth" I said
"Loud Mouth"
"You know the rules Jack, no girls allowed past eight"
"Could you allow it just this once, please?" Jack said pleading with him.
"Wish I could, but I don't any of the guys harassing her"
"No they won't! I won't let that happen, trust me" Jack assured
"Please?" I said giving him my puppy dog eyes "Just this night?"
He smiled then said "Fine, but if anything happens, don't come to me"
"Yes!" I accidentally yelled out
Jack and I then walked up the stairs to the bunkroom. The room was dark and most of the newsies were sound asleep. They all looked so sweet and angelic sleeping, so cuddly. We walked to what appeared to be Jack's bunk and it just so happens to be a empty top bunk right next to his.
"Is this alright?" he asked
"Yes it's perfect"
It was a thin mattress with a small pillow and a raggedy blanket. I climbed on top of it and got under the blanket, then I realized something.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to leave for a while you change?" I was totally being so rude by not giving him some privacy.
"It's fine, just close ya eyes and I'll tell ya when ta open them" He was blushing, I then closed my eyes liked he said, although if this was Spot I would so keep my eyes open, but this was Jack and although he's hot, he's not Spot.
"Now ya can open them"
I opened my eyes, Jack was already in his bunk. There was a moment of silence, we were both laying there in our bunks. I smiled to myself, this is it, I'm going in for the kill.
"Jack" I whispered
"Yeah"
"What do you think of Azure?"
"Why do ya ask that?"
"I just wondering"
"Well I think she a very sweet goil, how do ya know her, is she ya sister or somethin?"
"No we're jus friends, we don't even come from the same place"
"Where's Azure from?"
This is it! In a few seconds all the feelings Jack had for Sarah will vanish!
"Santa Fe"
At that moment Jack bolted up, I had him right where I wanted.
"Santa Fe, Thee Santa Fe?!"
"No Santa Fe, New Jersey! Of course Santa Fe! What ya think I lying?" Which I am, but he can't tell "Don't you know who she is? Do you even recognize her? She's Azure Blue Eyez, the most famous cowgirl of Santa Fe."
"Then what the hell is she doing here in New York?"
Shit!Think Loud Mouth, think! Suddenly I thought of something!
"You see, it's a very tragic story, of how Azure ended up here. On one beautiful spring day, Azure was competing at a rodeo, but this competition was different, for her horse, Lightning, was sick so she had to rope with a different horse. The new horse was so wild and untamed that could have been a stallion. Well her turn was up, she was quite nervous, she had to rope up many cows possible to win. She got on the wild horse, the calves we let out, and just when Azure was doing a lasso, the horse suddenly went crazy and leaped forth causing poor Azure to loose her balance and fall off the horse and onto her arm breaking it." I was thinking about the time Azure had broken her arm in soccer, " After Azure went to the doctor and was told that she can never be a Cowgirl again, for her arm will never perfectly work right again and so she bought a train ticket to New York in hopes of finding a suitable job for her condition" I looked around and luckily to my surprise all the newsies were awake and listening to our conversation.
"She doesn't seem like the cowgirl type" Said Kid Blink, I wanted to blind his other eye for not taking me to Spot and leaving me out and alone in the cold!
"Well of course she doesn't, she trying to start all over again with a new life style" I said
"So she's a 'has been'" Said Race, that little smart-alec
Just when I was going to say another thing to Race defending Azure, Jack cut in instead
"Yeah, and what would you do if you were a famous and somthin' happened and you making you lose it all?"
I smiled and laid back. There's still hope left Azure, for Jack is totally falling for you and you'll get your kiss.
You better watch out Sarah for here come Azure Blue Eyez!
.....To be continued
Up next: Oh no! Jack thinks Azure is a Cowgirl from Santa Fe! Will Azure be able to play along? And finally the moment you all been waiting for has arrived! Loud Mouth's first encounter with Spot! Will it be all she dreamed……or more?! Will she become the Queen of Brooklyn?! Tune in next time in………………..
Azure and Loud Mouth's Excellent Newsies Adventure!
