Chapter Twenty-Six
Saying Good Bye
Ginger hit the floor and everyone her frooze. They couldn't believe that someone had actually died. But she wasn't dead. They hadent taught about the costs of what they were doing.
Spot stopped punching someone and just stared. His face went a deadly pale. He ran to his love's side and fell next to her and hugged her.
Blood was all over them but that didn't matter."Ging youse gonna be ok, were gonna go ta a docta" said Spot through clouded eyes.
Ging just smiled, it was like she knew that she wasn't going to visit a doctor but she was leaving him, them, everything that she knew and loved. "I's love you Spot, and the baby that we's gonna have" she whispered. She placed Spot's hand on her stomach. Tears fell from Spots eyes he hadn't known that she was pregnant. He hugged her and again and kissed her lips for that last time.
"I will always love you Spot Conlon, always."
Then she died.
Spot stood up looking like a mad man. He ran over to Morris and started to beat the shit out of him. No one dared to stop him. No one from either side, the newsies or the bad guys (don't know what to call them!). and while every one just stared at him, Rhythm saw Danny slip away from the crowd. Morris wasn't gonna be the only one to pay, it might have been Morris' hand that held the knife but it was Danny's command.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The rain was getting very bad. It had started to thunder when Danny reached the room where Sarah was waiting. He opened the door and stumbled inside. He didn't want to adimit it but he had just gotten the worst beating of his life.
"Oh my God, what the hell happened to you?" Sarah asked as he helped him over to the bed. As soon as she got him laying down she went to shut the dorr. but three seconds later it sung open so hard the knob made a dent in the wall behide it. Rhythm was standing there soaking wet. Tears were mixed with the cold rain. "What the hell are you doing here?" Sarah yelled.
Rhythm had know time for her. "Youse either get out of me way or I's will do it for ya!" she she to the young woman stading in front of her blocking her way to the one man she hated the most.
"You have no fucking right to come bargin' in here an..."
She was cut off bye a fist colliding with her face. Sarah was thrown backword into an old and battered sofa, where she lay still. Now it was Danny's turn.
"So you finally want to fuck me? Or is it you just want your charm back? Is dat why youse here?" Danny said with a smirk getting off of the bed. She ignored his question.
"You son of a Bitch, you killed 'er! She didn't do nothing ta ya! What the hell is your fucking problem?" Rhythm screamed at him through tears.
"I's didn't do nothing to anyone I's was just trying to claim my title and she was in the way!"
"How was she in the way, and why did you have to take her life, she did nothing to you?" She was screaming at him as if he were millions of miles away.
"It's simple really, she was knocked up with the future leader of Brooklyn. And he had to go so the only way was to kill 'erto get rid of the kid of Spot Conlon."
"Youse sick son of a bitch! She didn't do anything to you!!!" Rhythm was crying to hard it was hard to breathe. she fell to the floor. She couldn't belive that this asshole had killed her best friend, no her sister! Well that wasn't gonna sit very well with her.
She got up off the floor and charged and Danny and his arrogent smile. She kick, punched, bit, did very thing she could to hurt him. But she wasn't quick enough. He grabbed her and swung her down on to the floor. She had bruises all over her body, but that didn't stop her. She got up and ran at him again. But this time he took out a knife. She had dodged knifes before but tears were clouding her vision. He swung at her but he missed. then she remembered something that Race had taught her when the selling was slow and the tracks.
When he swung at her again she grabbed his arm and twisted it behide his back. He was so suprised at what she did thtat he dropped his only weapon. Rhythm took this chance to pick it up and threaten him. She put his knife against his back.
"Now youse listen to me asshole, I's don't eva want ta see you face, hear you name or hear youse back in town. Leave New York and neva come here again do you under stand?"
"Crystal clear."
Then Rhythm remebered that he had something of hers. She reached up to his neck and ripped that string off that held her rose.
Just then Danny did something that no one expected. He through his body into the knife that was being held to his back. As soon as Rhythm knew what he had done she let go of the knife and stapped back horrifed. Danny fell to the ground and died almost immidetly. But Rhythm heard his last frightening words, "Either leader or dead, nothing less!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rhythm stood up in front of every one. They were all wearing black (or as close they could get to black)and had the worst expressions of saddness on there faces. She took a deep breath and began to sing a song that she had written the week before just for the passing of her best friend.
"It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the Wind Beneath My Wings."
Tears had begun to run freely down her cheeks as she sang. She closed her eyes tightly to stop the flow but they just fell, like rain in April.
"It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the Wind Beneath My Wings."
She looked up at Spot to see that silent tears were streaming down his face. He had asked her to do this and it was the least she could do. He was the one who had lost the most not just a friend but a love and a son that she had carried.
"Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the Wind Beneath My Wings,
'cause you are the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Oh, the Wind Beneath My Wings.
You, you, you, you are the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the Wind Beneath My Wings..."
She look at all the sad faces most of them with tears running down their cheeks. She walked of the stage and walked to Jack she threw her arms around him and cried there until she couldn't any longer. She got up of the floor with the help of Jack and Race. She took the single red rose that Jack was holding and went over to Gingers coffin. She bent down and placed it down and then kissed her fingertips and placed them to the rose.
She got up and stood with Jack hugging him. All the newsies waited for the last person to bid Ginger Caprona good-bye. Spot walked up to his love's coffin and kissed the black surface. Tears started to fall from his eyes on to the large pile of roses.
Every single head in the cemetery was bent in respect to the passing of their beloved friend.
A/N: Hope you liked it!!! Next chapter's the Epilogue and then well maybe a sequel but that won't come for a while!! Oh bye the way the song is called The Wind Beneath My Wings By Bett Middler, if you wanted to know!
