"Listen, I can't tell you everything, because if I did, I'd be putting you in danger, and I know I may not show it, but I am very sorry I battered you around. I guess I had lost my mind in fright, it's just. my cousin John-" my voice cracked as I felt hot tears of fear roll down my cheeks. Concern marred his flawless features and his hand rose from holding down my leg to wiping off my tears with his soft hands.
He tried to comfort me but he didn't know John, didn't know what John was capable of when he tried to do something. If he wanted to do something, he would be able to do it.
I tried to explain, "You don't know. the things he could do-" again my voice broke with emotion and I cried all the harder when Spot drew me into his arms. Someone this nice shouldn't get hurt by you Jade! You're going to put him in danger! He doesn't deserve you!
My conscience told me that the best thing I could do for my newly found friend would be to get away, and run. I'd have to wait for a week, to be able to get around quickly again, I was too bruised up to be in any condition to be on the run.
He began to rock me as I started convulsing with my sobs, I couldn't get my breath, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't breathe. Spot pulled by face to his and said soothingly to me, "Calm down, calm down, it's alright, whatever it is, it's alright."
I tried to hold my breath to slow down my body racking sobs and soon had my breathing under control again. He rubbed my back with his hands in slow circles up and down my spine, I shivered, it was freezing on the third floor. He abandoned my back and started rubbing my arms to try and warm me up, I stopped him, "Spot, you must be really tired, I'll be fine, you can try to go get some sleep before morning, here" I said and got up from the bottom bunk dropping the thin quilt he had put over my small frame. I climbed to the top bunk and laid down without him answering. He stood up, his eyes were level with mine, "You didn't need ta do that," he said his eye questioning my motives.
"You've been up for a while, I see it in your countenance, your tired, and I don't want you to lose another minute of sleep, please, do it for me?" Wait, what was I saying? Do it for me? That was a stupid thing to say, you don't even KNOW HIM Jade!
His eyes were boring into me, searching for my reasons; I closed my eyes in response to this intimate moment, and turned my back to him. He sighed and I heard him sit down below me and in less than a minute, his breathing was even and slow-asleep.
It seemed mere minutes that I was asleep when I heard the ruckus of the newsies waking up and talking loudly.
I turned over and hung my head over the edge of the bunk; Spot wasn't there. However, there was a note left on his mattress, folded neatly-I reached down, but my arm was just too short, by one inch, if I leaned a little further maybe I'd have it.
I leaned forward, I heard the door open and then I was falling, slowly-I'd leaned too far, and falling slowly down on my head, things were swimming in my mind.
Now you've done it
Unexpectedly arms caught me I looked to the owner, a recognizable face- "Jack?"
"Yea, and I'd appreciate it if ya didn't make me fall ova again," he said grinning.
"Sure thing" I said smiling slightly, I smiled a little more broadly, "Mind putting me down Jack? I cant stay in your arms all day now can I? One can only dream I suppose!" I laughed lightly as he set me on my feet carefully.
"You watch ya self now, ima be out sellin my papes, and by da time I get back, I don't wanna se you'se hurt woise den when I see's you'se now." He said trying unsuccessfully to be stern with me, he pointed his finger in my face to make a point with me (thus the pointing of the finger.) I smiled even wider and his face lost all traces of even fake anger, I knew my smile would make any guy not mad at me, except John and my uncle.
I hadn't yet tried my charm for friends. John had made sure I never had any of those. especially of the same gender.
I looked at Jack, eyed him up and down and laughed, he raised his eyebrows and looked me up and down, and he smiled.
"What time is it?" I asked wearily rubbing my eyes clear
"Oh I'd say, six thoity?"
"Are you serious? Six thirty? DANG-I normally get up at eight." I said quietly mumbling to myself.
"What? You'se was too dern pampered I suppose." He said shrugging, I stifled a laugh
Me, pampered? Not in my life
