A/N: I want to start off by apologizing for not updating anything for, well, months. But I do have an excuse, not a good one, but it does exist... So, I'll now give you my excuse, I've been working on writing my own manga graphic novel. Well, I hope that you all forgive me please. Now for the next chapter:
Chapter 4
"When you know a lot... Keep most of it to yourself."
--Unknown
Blink's P.O.V.
Mush was right, there was nothing he could do to stop David from dying. But now we had another challenge before us, telling the other newsies.
"Hey guys, Come over here, Mush and me have something that we have to tell all of ya." I yelled as we got into the lodging House, Mush remained silent.
Jack was the first one to come down. "So, what's so important that you couldn't wait a few hours to tell us?" He smiled as he looked at Mush's and my hands, "Oh, I get it...you and Mush are getting married!"
I just stared at him blankly, "Just wait, Jack, you'll know soon enough."
"Hey boys, come down here now! I wanna hear what they have to say!" Jack yelled up the stairs. The rest of the newsies came running down the stairs, laughing and smiling. "Now what is it that you have to tell us?" He asked eagerly. I don't think he'd be so eager if he already knew our news.
I nodded as Mush squeezed my hand, "Well," I began not quite knowing how to put it into words. "David Jacobs was kinda...um...he was...err..." Man, I wish Davey hadn't have died, because he was a lot better at saying these types of things... Wait, if Davey was alive we wouldn't even HAVE to say this. It was so selfish of Davey to go and die.
Jack crossed his arms, "Spill it Kid, Mush."
"Well, Daveywashitbyacarriageonhiswaytoschoolthismorninganddiedagrusomedeath." Mush said as quickly and quietly as he could.
Jack blinked, "Can you say that again, in English this time?"
Mush looked at me with his best puppy eyes, I sighed in defeat, "David died this morning."
Jack blinked, his eyes searching mine and Mush's, probably looking for any sign that this was just some kind of sick joke. I wish it was it was, but of course it wasn't. "How?" Jack finally asked, his eyes almost in tears.
"He was hit by a carriage and dragged for two city blocks before they realized he was there." Mush whispered.
"How did you know about all of that? Did you watch him die or something?" Jack asked his voice starting to sound with anger.
I tried to lie Mush's way out of it, "We asked someone at the scene."
Jack was now crying, "Why did it have to be Davey? Why not one of Spot's boys, eh?"
I heard Mush take a deep breath before his mouth opened and words managed to find their way out, "It was his time to go."
Jack glared in Mush's general direction although it was obvious that it wasn't intended for him. Mush gently squeezed my hand once more before exiting the room. I could tell that this was harder for him then he let on.
Mush's P.O.V.
I walked out of the Lodging House alone. I used to hate being alone before this, but now it seemed as though it's going to become a major part of my life.
It took all that I had not to start crying my eyes out. Yet I didn't want to cry because one of my best friends had just died. I wanted to cry because I didn't care that he had died, I only cared about myself. But part of me also wanted to cry because of the glare Jack sent me because of the death. If he reacted that way about it being David's time to go. How would he react if I told him that I had known about it ahead of time and didn't tell him?
For the first time since this morning, a voice came into my mind repeating Death's fateful comment, "...No matter how much you love him, and he loves you, he will not be able to understand."
I felt a tear come down my cheek as the door creaked open. Kid sat down next to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he put his arm around my shoulders.
I looked into his eye before throwing myself into his shoulder crying like a baby. Death was right, I do have to let him go.
A/N: Well, I did it, I finally updated, and know for the long awaited shout- outs:
Inquisitive- I'm sorry that I killed David. But I did have to kill someone for the sake of the story and David seemed like the character that'd hit closed to home ya know. Sorry I made you have to wait almost nine months to read more, and I promise I won't do it again.
SpecsGlasses- Lookie! I updated again... I feel sorry for all of them too, but I guess I'm just an evil person right? Well, I hope you will update your stories soon, because you are just about as bad as I am about not updating!
Liams Kitten- Lookie! I finally updated and I owe it all to my cute little second cousin Kyler, he was quoting newsies, and it was so cute!!! Well, I'm happy you liked it so far, and I'm sorry for not updating for so long.
Dakota-Jones- Thank you for reviewing, but you know I think the foreshadowing works for the story, right? Well, sorry for not updating for what feels like an eternity.
Rannoch-Dude, we really should write about Jack the knife! Well, thanks for your review and yes, you are a genius my little Canadian dollface. Thank you for reviewing.
mushs-grl13- I make slash stories good, eh? That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Well, I hope you're still enjoying it. Thanks for the review!
Gryffin Parker- Mort by Terry Pratchett, eh? I'll try to find a copy and read it. Oh, and don't worry, I found away to write the next chapter with out needing to know anything about Jewish funerals... Sorry, that your review won't be on the list anymore, because I'm deleting that author's note chapter for fear that someone will report it thinking that it's new...and then my story would be deleted, and I'd cry and yeah. Well, thank you for your review!
