A/N: I'm so sorry guys I fully intended on updating like ten chapters on Monday, but I got a little sidetracked, and then my friend/editor had my story over the week. So, yeah, I'm gonna type a lot over the weekend, maybe.

Chapter 6

Angel made her way back to the table where her all friends sat gaping at her. Several whistled as she walked by, but she ignored them. She smiled bashfully as she took er seat by Mush.

"Wow Angel! You look gorgeous!" Mush said once he came out of his daze.

"Yeah," Race and Jack nodded in agreement. Blink just starred open mouthed at her. She shot him a cold look, still not completely over what had happened that morning.

"Who is that," Angel asked Mush out of the corner of her mouth.

"Oh I forgots ya didn't know eachudda. Angel dat dere is Spot Conlon, leadah a da Brooklyn newsies. Spot dis is Angelface," Mush explained.

"Your name fits ya well," Spot said as he took he hand and kissed it.

"Thank you." She blushed even harder. Their eyes connected, and Angel felt a chill go down her body. They were the most beautiful eyes Angel had ever seen. "So you're the infamous Spot Conlon.?" She said when she was finally able to tare her eyes away.

"Dat's me," he said, flashing his smile that made her want to melt.

"Well are wes gonna play poker or not?" Race interrupted as he dealt the cards.

After nearly two hours of gambling and talking, Race won the game. Angel had come to the conclusion that no matter how beautiful his eyes were, she could not stand Spot Conlon! He was so egocentric [hehe I love that word!]. I mean the way he talked; you'd think he was the king of New York or something.

"So Angel, how would ya like ta come wit me ta Brooklyn sometime? I could... show ya around," he said slyly as he slid his hand onto her knee.

Mush was fixing Spot with a glare that Angel didn't know sweet, softy Mush was capable of. The rest of them were looking angry or worried.

Angel put on her sweetest smile and said, "Oh no thank you Spot, if the boys in Brooklyn are half as arrogant as you, I don't know if I'd be able to stand it; now could you please get your hand off my knee." Spot fixed her with an icy glare and rest of the boys laughed in disbelief that a girl would tell Spot off like that.

She shivered as Spot spoke; there was so much ice in his words. "You know it was awfully nice of Jack ta keep ya. Had it been me I woulda thrown ya on da streets like ya desoive [deserve]"

"I guess that's why Jack is a better person then you," she said coolly.

"Youse know de only reason Jack kept ya was 'cause ya looked like a slut. Dat's all your good for, is to be looked. Youse is worthless," he sneered. Angel looked at him, tears watering in her eyes. Then she punched him as hard as she could and ran out the restaurant.

"Dat was low Spot!" Mush yelled. "I oughta soak ya!"

"Oh youse couldn't soak me if I had me hands tied behind me back."

Mush ran at him, but Jack held him back. "Go find Angel, I'll talk ta Spot." Mush sent Spot one last menacing look before he dashed out the door in search of Angel.

"What'd ya do dat foah?! Angel didn't do nuttin ta youse!" Jack yelled, turning to Spot who was looking very pleases with himself.

"She can't go around talkin ta people like dat and not expect ta have anyone talk back," Spot said casually.

"I don't understand ya Spot. Ya can't go around treatin goils like dat!" Jack was losing his temper.

"Yea, well I just did, didn't I?" With that, Spot got up and walked out of Tibby's, the rest of Brooklyn following him.

Meanwhile, Mush was roaming the streets looking for Angel. She hadn't been in the lodging house, so he was heading towards Irving Hall. He was still two blocks away when he heard a small sniffle come from an ally way.

He ran to it, already knowing what he would find. And there she was; curled up in a little ball, head on her knees, and tears streaming down her face.

"Don't look at me, I must look horrible," she said as he sat down beside her.

"No ya don't, ya look beautiful, ya always look beautiful Angel," he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Thanks Mush," she wiped the tears from her eyes, "I shouldn't have gotten so mad at him. It's just when he said that he reminded me of ... nevermind."

"No, what is it? It's alright, ya can tell me. It'll make ya feel better," he said soothingly.

"He reminded me of my father. He was drunk and abusive. That's why you found me covered in bruises, it was him," she was sobbing now.

"It's alright, you're here now, you're safe," he hugged her. She put her head on his chest and just cried. They sat there in the ally until she fell asleep. Mush lifted her up and carried her back to the lodging house.
