Disclaimer: I. Don't. Own. Newsies. I need to keep telling myself that. I
don't own Trigger, Poker, Sapphy, Italy, HotShot, Taffee or Zippy either!
Or the song I Will Carry You sung by Clay Aiken. By the way, I did dissect
the song a lil...sorry! I own Tag and Melody though! *still beaming*
I love you reviewers! I don't get to know who all of you are b/c I'm updating like 5 minutes after the last chapter. Literally.

The piece of paper crinkled in Melody's hands as her eyes opened as wide as her mouth.
"Read it out loud!" Poker begged. Melody cleared her throat and began to read.
"Yeah, I know it hurts. Yeah, I know you're scared. Walkin' down the road that leads to who knows where. Don't you hang your head. Don't you give up yet. When courage starts to dissappear, I will be right here. When your world breaks down, and the voices tell you turn around. When your dreams give out, I will carry you. When the stars go blind, and the darkness starts to flood your eyes. When you're falling behind, I will carry you. Everybody cries, Everybody bleeds. No one ever said that life's an easy thing. That's the beauty of it. When you lose your way, just close your eyes, go to sleep. And wake up to another day. You should know now that you're not alone. Take my heart and we will find...you will find, Your way home." Zippy, Poker and Melody all stood there in amazement. "Is that...do you think...for me?" Melody stammered.
"Why don't you ask him?" HotShot challenged. Melody folded the paper back up and ran out the door.
"Hey! I wanna know, too!" Poker whined and stomped her feet.

"JACK!" Melody ran towards Jack as he was sellin' his papes. The bandage was wrapped tightly around her stomach, making it hard for her to breath properly.
"Melody? What are ya doing out heah?" Jack ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.
"I know I ''disobeyed'' you Jack. But...umm...I read this." She pulled out the poem and Jack's mouth dropped. "And I was wondering who it was for." Jack grabbed the poem from her hands and hastily put it back in his pocket.
"Where did ya find it?!?!" He yelled.
"In your vest pocket!" Melody yelled back, louder. "So, who's it for?"
"No one, ok?" Jack answered, sounding irritated. Melody took a deep breath in and stared Jack straight in the eyes.
"Is it for me? Tell the truth."
"Fine, ya caught me. It is for you, ok?" He moved closer to Melody and took her hands in his. "I know we've been best friends for lotsa years now and you know that I care about ya and I love ya. I love ya more than a friend, though." He leaned down and pulled Melody into a sweet, gentle kiss. She pulled away and looked at Jack with sorrow in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I don't love you." She turned away and ran. She ran as fast as she could to who knows where. And that was the last time that Jack and any of the other newsies saw Melody, ever again.
