My Apologies to Trigger for forgetting to mention her in the SO's in my last chappie!
" Jack. I tried to escape again today, but got caught yet again. This has been my fourth failed attempt. My punishment was worse than ever. I was in Mr. Markson's office getting hit yet again, and then the next thing I know I'm waking up in my bedroom. My head is throbbing like you can't believe. My mudda stopped by today. The first time in three years. She came to tell me goodbye. It seems she has met someone else, and he doesn't like kids. She's moving to Paris with him. That just means that Mr. Markson is gonna have it out for me now. I don't mind my mother leaving. I haven't seen her in ages anyway. I don't care if I ever see her again. She can go do whatever she wants to in Paris. At least now I wont have to worry about her when I go to New York. Jack I'm counting down the days till I'm in your arms again. I wont stop fighting. Never. I wish I could send you a letter, just to let you know that I'm still missing you and trying to get back to you, but they wont let you have contacts outside of the boarding house, and even if they did, I cant afford postage. I love you Jack. Love Always. Knots."
Jack read the journal entry aloud. He looked over at Knots who had tears falling down her cheeks. Jack put his arm around Knots and the two were silent. They realized they had been talking all day, and the sun was now starting to set.
" Jack, can we put everything in that journal behind us, and just live our lives like I never left?" Knots said.
" Of course." Jack said wiping her tears.
" But first." Knots said. "I have one more question."
" Alright shoot."
" When I first got here. How come you were mad at me?"
" I wasn't really mad at you. I was mad at myself. I was mad that you kept your promise and I sorta betrayed ya. I had the chance to go see you but I thought you would've forgotten about me. I was mad that I doubted ya. I'm really truly sorry for yellin at ya that day."
" Its ok Jack. Thanks for telling me." She said squeezing his hand.
" So what do you wanna do now?" Knots asked standing up
" Well some of da newsies from all around are comin ova to the lodging house tonight to play pokah and such. We'se could join." Jack was now standing up as well.
" Sounds like fun!" Knots started to walk towards the lodging house when she felt Jack tug on her hand.
" Hold on. Ise got something ta give ya."
Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver charm bracelet with a heart on it.
" Its never left my pocket." Jack said putting it on her wrist.
Knots was speechless. She could only smile. She was so touched and glad that he kept it.
" Now." Jack said. "Where ever ya go ya know ya got my heart with ya." He said smirking.
Knots giggled at Jack's attempt to be cheesy.
He then grabbed her waist and passionately kissed her.
Both of them hadn't been so happy before.
The pair walked hand and hand to the lodging house to embark on a night full of poker.... And more.
Okies so that was sorta a short chappie! But I hoped ya'll liked it. I tried to keep the cheese down to a minimum this time because well last chappie was covered in it. Thanks so much to my reviewers!
