Spot had walked back to Brooklyn after the confrontation with Penny and now sat on the roof of the Lodging House. He had tears forming in his eyes. He couldn't live the rest of his life without Sara and if he was forced to, he'd get their baby. She couldn't keep that from him.
Ace came up later and put a hand on his shoulder. "I heard 'bout what Penny said...Sara's pissed ain't she?"
Spot took a shuddering breath. "We...ain't really tagetha anymore." He tightened his fist around the engagement ring in his hands. "I didn't do it."
Ace nodded. "I know. Ya want me ta talk to her?"
"No. She won't believe ya. I know Sara, Ace...she..."
Ace frowned. "She cares. Dat's all. She don't know what ta think, judgin' by ya reputation...I wouldn't eithah."
Spot closed his blue eyes. "I love her wit my whole heart, Ace...I don't undahstand why she don't even wanna heah what I gotta say. I didn't do nothin'! I could kill Penny for dis!"
Ace opened his mouth reluctantly, "What about da baby?"
"Fuck I don't know! Just leave me alone!" Spot put his head in his hands and struggled to control the sobs in his chest.
Ace stood up. "I'm goin' ta see her. She can't do dis." And he left before Spot could object, but Spot wouldn't have. He didn't care anymore.
Ace ran down the dark streets of the city toward Manhattan. He knew the boys were probably asleep already but that didn't stop him. He scaled the fire escape and climbed into the window. Sara was asleep on a bed next to Race's. He shook her awake and placed a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She started at him with a look of hatred.
"Sara, listen ta me."
She bit him. He drew his hand away quickly and glared at her. She stood up and dragged him out on the fire escape. "What are you doing here this late? Spot send you? Well, you can tell him I don't want to hear it!"
Ace clenched his fists and growled, "He didn't cheat on ya! Penny said dat ta get at him! He would nevah do dat!"
Sara jerked away from him. "You're lying for him! How could you do this to me?!"
Ace rolled his sapphire eyes skyward and sighed. "He loves ya! Ya know what, Sara? I've nevah seen Kyle Conlon cry until tanight. But you did it! Ya broke him." Ace turned away and began to walk down the steps. Sara grabbed his arm.
"He was crying?"
"Not when I was dere...but he probably did aftah I left."
Sara looked straight into Ace's eyes and whispered, "What have I done?"
He stared back. "I dunno...it ain't good."
She pushed past him and tore down the steps without letting the Manhattan boys know where she was going. She just kept running like she didn't have a chance to escape what she had caused.
She pulled herself into the window of the fire escape while Ace climbed in through the lower window. Spot was laying on his bed, eyes closed. Sara could tell he wasn't sleeping by the way he was breathing but she doubted he knew she was there. She sat down on the side of his bed and his eyes opened. "Sara?"
"I'm so sorry!" She hugged him. "I didn't listen to you and I should have. I love you."
Spot kissed her. "It's okay. As long as ya safe. Ya know I would nevah do dat though. I love ya too."
She curled up next to him. "I didn't know what to do because I heard about some rumors that you were...and I don't...I'm sorry."
He laughed. "It's okay. Ya back an' dat's all dat matters but remember I love ya more den anything in da woild. Ya mean more den life ta me."
"I know. I'm just scared. I don't know what I'm going to do...I'm only 17."
"I'll help ya. We're in dis tagetha. Don't forget dat."
She nodded and closed her eyes. "We better go to Manhattan tomorrow so they don't think I'm dead in an alley somewhere."
"Ya left without tellin' Kelly or Race?!"
She smirked. "You were more important."
"I'm honored."
"You should be."
