I nodded. I let Spot go and I closed the door. I went back over to Spot and gave him a kiss. We gently swayed onto his bed. We stopped kissing when we heard the door creak open. There stood two newsies. "What is it fellas?" Spot sounded aggravated.
"Bambies sick again and she won't come out of da bathroom." I felt Spot start to get up but I pushed him back down.
"Let me go." Spot nodded while the two newsies showed me where the bathroom was. As soon as I got there I motioned the newsies to leave. I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Its Sweetz, Ise tought dat youse would want a goil to see howse you feel instead of Spots."
"Come in." I opened the door to find Bambie on the floor next to the toilet and sweating.
"Oh my, are youse okay?"
"Ya, but Ise not feelin too good."
"Ise can see dat hold on." I stood back up and went to the door. I opened the door and looked for someone I recognized. I saw Tiger and so I shouted towards him.
"Tiger come here." He looked over and walked up to me.
"Yeah?"
"Ise need ya to get me a bowl of cold water and put it next to Bambies bed." He nodded he walked away. I closed the door. "Do youse tink you're done?" She laughed and nodded. I went over and helped her up. We walked over to the door and we walked over to her bed. I laid her down and grabbed the washcloth out of my back pocket. Tiger came in with the bowl and placed it on a chair that was next to her bed. I thanked him and he walked away. I took the washcloth and put it in the bowl and squeezed the water. I folded the washcloth and started to wipe away the sweat on her face.
"Youse so sweet."
"Tanks, dats how Ise got my name." I smiled at her.
"Do youse know Rocket?" I nodded. "Well do you know if she's coming back?" I shrugged.
"She's going out wit Jack so she gonna be stayin in Manhattan fer awhile."
"Oh, well tanks fer taking care of me."
"No problem." I smiled at her. "Ise stay her 'til youse fall asleep." She nodded. I put the washcloth in water again and squeezed and put it on her forehead. A couple of minutes later she fell asleep. I pulled the covers over her and took the bowl and washcloth to the tub and dumped the water out. I left the room and went back to Spots room. When I walked in he was in his boxers lying down on his bed reading the newspaper. He looked up and saw me.
"So hows she?"
"She's fine, she's sleeping." He motioned for me to sit on his bed. I went over and my head fell on his lap. He gently smoothed back my hair. I smiled up at him.
"Youse really made an impression."
"What do youse mean?"
"Well, first youse nice to da newsies and den witout hesitation youse help one dats sick, I hoird a lot of compliments bout youse." I smiled.
"Youse were getting jealous when all do'se guys were kissing me!" I giggled.
"No I wasn't." I looked up at him and he looked up and smiled. "A little." I smiled.
"I knew it! I win!" He smiled at me and I sat up and walked over to my bed. "Spot, can Ise youse a shoit of youse?" He nodded and got up and went over his dresser. He threw me a shirt. I started to undress when Spot asked me,
"Should Ise leave?" I shook my head.
"No youse can stay, its not like youse haven't seen boobs before."
"Yeah, youse right."
"Hey!" We laughed and I quickly put on his shirt. "Dat aint funny."
"Den whyse did youse laugh?" I gave him a funny face and he laughed at me. "Haha I win." I rant to him and I tackled him onto his bed. I sat on top of him.
"Win and I always win!" He rolled over and sat on me.
"Now do youse win? Ise don't tink so, Spot wins!" He bent over and kissed me. The door opened again and I looked over to see who it was. It was Tiger looking at us. I pushed Spot off of me and looking embarrassed.
"Spot, wese have a problem."
"What is it Tigs?"
"Bambies stopped breathing. Crow took her down to the hospital and a few followed." I stood up surprised and I ran over to my bed to grab my pants. I put my pants on and ran to where Tiger was. I looked over and Spot was buttoning his shirt. (He did have his pants on.) Tiger, Spot, and I walked over to the hospital and entered and were to wait in the waiting room. We saw the other newsies. I looked at them and they looked like they all needed sleep.
"You all go back and get some sleep. I'll make sure she's okay." They all got up and patted my back and left. I looked over and saw Spot and Tiger. "Youse two can go."
"Ise stay, Tiger you go, you need sleep." Spot said. I smiled because I was glad that he was staying here with me. He knew I had a fear of hospitals and he wanted to make sure that Bambies would be ok. Tiger left and Spot and I were the only newsies left in the waiting room. We sat in chairs next to each other and held hands. We didn't know what to say to each other. So I squeezed his hand. He squeezed back and I squeezed his hand harder. We kept squeezing each others hand until I said 'Mercy!' Spot looked pleased that he won. "I win." He whispered to me. I had to laugh. He was so obsessed with winning. I stopped laughing when I saw a doctor come in. I stood up and went over to him; Spot was still holding my hand.
"Am I in the right room? I could have sworn that this room was filled with boys."
"We told dem to go home. So how's Bambies?"
"Yes, she's fine. She's sick but with medication, she'll be fine." I sighed in relief.
"Can wese see her?"
"She asked only to see you; you must be Sweetz, right?"
"Ya." I turned to Spot. "Will youse wait fer me?" He nodded. I turned to look at the doctor again and he took me to Bambies room. I walked in and I saw her hooked up to IV's.
"Hey Sweetz!" She sounded excited to see me which made me feel happy.
"Hey Bambie, how are you?"
"I'm good, Ise wanted to ask youse a question."
"Shoot."
"Can youse go tell Rocket dat I'm here and dat Ise want her to visit me?"
"Sure." A nurse stepped into the room and looked at me.
"Visiting hours is over."
"K, well feels better." Bambie nodded. I walked to the waiting room where Spot was waiting for me. He saw me and walked to me.
"Howse she doing?"
"Good, she's doing fine."
"Good." He said with a sigh of relief. "Now we can go get some sleep."
"Not me."
"What?"
"Ise going to Manhattan to get Rocket."
"Youse can do dat tomorrow, Ise wants sleep." Spot whined.
"Ise neva said you had to come wit, youse can go back id youse want. I'll be fine." Spot went to the waiting room door and I followed. I followed him into the parking lot. "Where youse going?" I hope he's not pissed off at me.
"To Manhattan." I smiled.
"So youse don't tell me and den you don't wait fer me and den youse made me tink dat youse mad at me." He walked to me and hugged me.
"Ise neva would be made at you." He kissed my nose. (AWWWW……..HOW CUTE!!!) We wrapped our arms around each other and headed towards Manhattan. When we got to the Brooklyn bridge we stopped in the middle and talked a little bit on how we first thought of each other the first time we met. Then we headed out to Manhattan once again. When we finally got there it was about five o'clock. We knocked on the door and the Kloppmann answered it.
"What are youse doing? I was just bout to go wake up everyone. Come in." We walked in.
"Do youse tink wese can wake dem up?" I asked.
"Yeah sure. Make sure dat Jack wakes up. If he doesn't then get Rocket to wake him up." Spot and I nodded and ran up the stairs and entered the bunkroom. I went straight to Jack's bed. I kneeled down so that I was next to his ear.
"WAKE UP COWBOY!" Jack jumped up, almost hitting his head on the bed above him. He looked over and saw my smiling face.
"Sweetz," he said groaning. "Why youse do dat to me?" I shrugged. He sat up and looked at me. "What are youse doing here anyways?"
"I'm here fer Rocket and da Kloppmann says dat Ise could wake youse up. Spots here too." I pointed to Spot who was by Race's bedside. We heard him scream,
"RACETRACK! GET YOUR LOUSEY ASS OUT OF DIS BED!" Race jumped also and Jack and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn you Spot!" Race looked over at me. "Hey Sweetz. Is dis what youse do to yourse friends when youse say youse leaving?"
"Race, youse know I love ya."
"Yeah, and youse also want to see me piss my pants of fear." I laughed so hard that most of the newsies woke up. Jack, Spot, Race and I went to the still sleeping newsies and screamed in their ears. I went over to Rockets bed and shook her awake. She looked up at me. What are youse doing here Sweetz?"
"Bambies in da hospital." At that moment Rocket sat up.
"What happened?" I could tell she was worried.
"Well, I come to da house last night and she was sick and I tought she was okay and she fell asleep, so I got back into my room."
"You mean Spots."
"Whatever, well Tiger came in and he said dat she stopped breathing and dat she was at da hospital. So we went to da hospital, and she's telling to get youse, she wants to talk to youse." Rocket grabbed a re bandana from a chair next to her bed and put it around her neck.
"Well when are wese going?" I ignored the question.
"Is dat Jacks bandana?"
"Yeah, he told me dat he gave it to me so dat everyone knows I'm his."
"Aww…dats so cute." I got up and walked back over to Jacks bed. He was buttoning his shirt. "Youse are so cute!" I said while messing up his hair. He tried to stand up but I pushed him down and I ran over to Rocket. Jack tried to catch me but I'm to fast for him. When Jack came over to Rocket, he gave her a kiss on the lips and on the forehead. He looked at me and I stuck out my tongue. He laughed and messed up my hair." He smiled.
"Jack, Ise going to da hospital, youse wanna come and meet me best friend?" Rocket asked as I looked for Spot.
"Yeah, sures when?" Rocket looked at me fer the answer.
"Meet Spot and I at Tibby's at noon." They nodded. I finally spotted Spot and he was over by some other newsies. "Jack, can Ise sleep in youse bed?" He nodded his head and I went over to Jacks bed and lay on my side. (Rocket had taken my bed) I felt another person come up on the bed and put their arms around my waist. I twisted my head to see Spot smiling at me. He was too good to me. I went back to my original position while he kissed my neck. His lips felt like flower pedals touching my skin. We finally fell asleep and when we woke up we went right to Tibby's without talking on the way. We walked into Tibby's and there I saw my mom. I went for the door but my father was blocking the entry. Then police came out of some doors and had Spot and I surrounded.
"Youse give up Samantha?" My mother asked me.
"Only if you let him go and dat you don't hoit him." My mother nodded and my father pushed Spot out of the restaurant. My mother came up to me with a belt in her right hand. I looked out at Spot and he had a worried face on him. I saw him run off to some newsies out in the streets. They all ran off. Was Spot leaving me? Didn't he love me anymore? I started to cry. I heard my mother crack the belt. I turned all my attention to her. She hit me a couple of times and then my father came and held me down while they brought out a cane and whipped it against my back. I soon passed out from the intense pain from the cane. The next thing I remembered was me being carried into the back of a police cart. I looked down at where I was lying and I could see a puddle of my own blood. I got up and sat oat one of the corners. All of a sudden I saw a bunch of newsies chasing the cart. And Spot was in front. The cart stopped and two policemen exited and began to fight. Spot knocked them both down and he climbed onto the cart while the other newsies took care of the policeman. I was sitting in my corner and I couldn't move. I felt so numb and cold. My eyes were getting heavier and heavier until I fell into a dark place. I heard someone yell my name and I tried to open my eyes but it was useless.
I lifted my eyes slowly and observed the room around me. It was white and when I looked over I could see an IV hooked up to me a few other cords. I saw Spot sitting in a chair next to my bed with his hand on mine. I looked over at the other bed in the room and I saw Bambie. And next to her was Rocket sleeping and then Jack was sleeping the middle of the room in a chair. I smiled. I wanted all of them to get some sleep. So I decided not to say anything. I sat in my bed and thought about how my life has changed. I had Spot and family. Family who I wanted to be around and family that didn't hurt me in any way. All of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted when a nurse stepped into the room who gave me a bowl of jello. It tasted horrible but I was hungry and I needed to eat something. I moved my hand that was underneath Spot's hand and he woke up.
"Hey." He whispered.
"Hi, go home and why don't youse get some sleep, dat chair doesn't look to comfortable. Wheres everyone?"
"Don't worry bout me and all da newsies are at the lodging house to wait fer some news. Race will be heres later to see yas. Hes worried bout youse. Should I wake up Jackey boy and Rocket?"
"But I do worry bout youse. But please go home and gets some sleep. And don't wakes up anybody. Dey needs sleep too like youse. Youse don't always hafta be my side."
"Youse sure your okay?" He knew that I wasn't acting like myself.
"Youse too good to me Spot." He smiled.
"So does dat mean I win?" I laughed.
"Yeah. So what's going on wit Bambie and Ise?"
"Bambie is fine, she's being released today and youse are going to be released tomorrow since youse were out so long. But youse two will be fine."
"How long was Ise out?"
"About two days."
"Youse gots to be kiddin me."
"No, Ise aint."
"Well at least I gets to leave tomorrow, cause I hates da hospital." I started to cry.
"Whats wrong?" Spot stared at me in concern.
"Ise want to tell ya sometin."
"Okay."
"Ise love you Spot Conlon, and Ise don't want to loose you ever. Ise afraid dat youse going to leave me and go gets another goil."
"Sweetz, Ise mean Samantha." I smiled. "Ise love you too, and Ise can't live witout youse. Ise almost cried when I pulled youse out of dat cart." Tears filled my eyes. "Ise always be dere for youse and make sure you safe. Ise love you. And even when Ise not around, Ise knows fer a fact dat youse can handle youse self." He jumped on my bed. "Ise love you Sweetz." He took of his necklace with a key on it and put it around my neck. "Dis is a special necklace, it was da first ting I got, it was a box and it opened wit dis key. Da box was filled wit all da stuff dat I take to heart. So youse can say dat dis is da key to my heart." I hugged him with tears running down my cheeks. We pulled away and he wiped away my ears and we kissed. I was so happy. This was the key to my life. Spot's the key to my heart and I never want to loose him.
"Bambies sick again and she won't come out of da bathroom." I felt Spot start to get up but I pushed him back down.
"Let me go." Spot nodded while the two newsies showed me where the bathroom was. As soon as I got there I motioned the newsies to leave. I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Its Sweetz, Ise tought dat youse would want a goil to see howse you feel instead of Spots."
"Come in." I opened the door to find Bambie on the floor next to the toilet and sweating.
"Oh my, are youse okay?"
"Ya, but Ise not feelin too good."
"Ise can see dat hold on." I stood back up and went to the door. I opened the door and looked for someone I recognized. I saw Tiger and so I shouted towards him.
"Tiger come here." He looked over and walked up to me.
"Yeah?"
