Queens POV:
______________
So I did know that Spot did like Sweetz, but the way he broke up with her wasn't right. He deserves to hurt. I might be his best friend, but I know when something has gone too far. I remember when he asked out Merp. It was the most......err....there are no words to describe it.
_________________Flashback__________________
"So Spot, have youse gone ta talk ta Sweetz today?" I asked Spot.
"Yea, but she yelled at me and told me ta get out....and as Ise was walking back Ise bumped into dis goil."
"And dats suppose ta mean sometin to me?"
"Well it should since she's my new goil."
"YOuse tell Sweetz dat or are youse gonna leave it ta her to figure it out."
"I'll tell her."
"NO youse won't." I shook my head. "And she really liked ya." I walked out of his room and into the bunkroom where I found a few Manhattan boys. One boy stood out in the crowd. I remember his name, it was.....Skittery. I walked up to him since he was sitting by the window staring out. "Nice view?" He looked at me and replied,
"Actually it is. WOuld youse care ta keep me company."
"Maybe, tell me what youse doing here?"
"Ise visited Sweetz and den came here since it was too late ta go back. Wait, aren't youse Queenie, Queens' Leader?"
"Yea Ise Queenie and youse are Skittery. Now dat wese know our names let me ask ya some stuff before Ise sit next ta youse."
"Questions?"
"Yea Ise got questions."
"Shoot."
"How's Sweetz?"
"Fine, upset dat she found da necklace."
"What are youse talking bout?" I asked as I sat down next to Skittery on the couch like thing. (So descriptive)
"Sweetz tought she lost da necklace SPot gave her and dats why she had him leave. She found out dat da nurse had it and now she won't see anyone."
"Ise wouldn't tell her dat SPots gotta new goil."
"Spots gotta new goil? He didn't break it off wit Sweetz tough!"
"Shhh keep it down. SPots gotta learn da consequences of breaking a goils' heart." He nodded. And we both sat there sharing our thoughts and our opinions and watching the sun set out the window.
_____________End of Flashback______________________________
I walked closer to the Manhattan Lodging House, basically because I wanted to see Skittery. He has been talking to me about my cuts on my wrists and he understands. We keep sneaking out in the middle of the night to see each other. I don't know why, its just, I feel so comfortable with him. I guess you have to know it to feel it.
"Hey Queenie!" I looked over to the entrance of the Lodging House and saw Skittery leaning up on the door frame smiling.
"How's it going SKitts?" He slyly walked over to me and embraced me into a big hug.
"NOt too bad. HOw's it going wit youse?"
"Came ova ta talk to me man."
"Who's yer man?"
"Dats what Ise gotta figure out." I said as I looked into his beautiful eyes.
"Maybe Ise can help wit dat." He smiled and he slowly leaned in to kiss me. It was one of those kisses where you know that your in the right place at the right time. It was....perfect. Something I've never felt before.

Sweetz's POV
I guess I should get on with my life. I think I've grown enough to learn that you have to make choices in life and they all lead down seperate paths. And those paths are gonna be bumpy.
And I bet people are real sick of me complaining that SPot doesn't love me anymore. How could I put them through soo much torture?
"Hey Sweetz!" I looked back over to the door to see Dirtie.
"Hey Dirtie, hows it rolling?"
"Not too bad. Jackey boy, Blink, and Spot went out so youse wanna sell wit me?"
"Have youse ever sold in Brooklyn before?"
"Nope, remember ise a newbie newsie."
"Oh yeas. Well den of coise youse can sell wit me." I grabbed my hat and both Dirtie and I walked to the Distribution Center and both got some papers. We walked over near the Brooklyn Bridge where there was usually good selling.
"So, whats going on wit youse and COnlon?"
"What do youse mean?"
"Well youse back tagether?"
"Nope and we will neva be."
"Don't say dat. Wese all know dat youse both have feelings fer each odder."
"Listen Dirtie, wese over and Ise getting over it. Don't make it harder fer anyones."
"So where youse gonna stay, well since yosue and SPot are over wit?"
"Manhattan most likely. I started out dere. Ise sure dey wouldn't kick me out."
***********At the Manhattan Lodging House***************
"Sorry Sweetz, deres just aint no more room." Jack said sadly.
"Its okay. Ise got other places ta try."
"Youse could always go back ta Brooklyn."
"Ise don't tink so. If Ise can help, deres no way dat Ise'll eva step inta dat Lodgin House freeingly. (I dont care if thats not a word, deal with it! :-D )
"Fine have it yer way." I walked out of the building and onto the dirty streets. Where could I stay with only $1.10 in my pocket. I looked over to a corner and saw a person that I thought I remembered. I just couldn't put a name to its face. I walked over to the girl and tapped her shoulder and she turned around.
"Rocket?"
"Sweetz?"
"What are youse doing?"
"Nuttin, what are youse doing in Manhattan?"
"Looking fer a place ta stay, what are youse doing on da street corner in a short skirt and a skimpy ass shoit?"
"Nutting. Ise just waiting fer someone." At that moment a guy I didn't recognize and came up to her.
"How much youse want?"
"NOt right now Phil."
"But youse on da streets. Ise'll give ya a big tip dis time."
"Come back in ten Phil."
"Fine whore." He walked off angerly.
"Youse a street whore?"
"Dere's just not enough money coming off of being a newsie."
"Den ask someone fer money. God damn it goil. Youse gotta guy." I pulled out my money and gave it to her. "Now go home."
"Ise can take dis."
"Take it, and if Ise ever find out youse do dis whore ting again, I swear Ill tell Jackey boy and Race." She looked at me like she could've strangled me and walked off.
"How could she do dis?" I asked myself and walked further down the streets. Every alley way that I saw was filled with both adults and kids huddling together to get warm. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Where was I going? I had no idea.
"Can Ise help ya Ma'am?" I turned around to see my father.
"Hi dad."
"NOw youse calling me dad, Ise tought youse were gonna call me from me first name?"
"Yea well Ise changed."
"SO have a lot of people."
"How's da family?"
"Well yer mothers gone." I stared at him in shock. "She left cause all the children left. So I'm alone in the house."
"I'm sorry dad."
"You should be. Its hard coming home and knowing that you were the one that drove all the children away. And because of that, my wife leaves me."
"Dey only left cause youse beat on dem after Ise left."
"Yea, that might be true, But i'm a changed man. So can you forgive me?"
"Dad, your part of the reason I'm here. You don't even need to ask for forgiveness." I knew he hurt me in the past, but everyone deserves a second chance.
"So would you like ta join me for dinner tonight?"
"Why not?" He walked me to Chierre Pier, the restaurant that I used to sell in front of, and a restaurant that I knew I could never afford.
