Life From the Past.

Disclamer: I don't own the Newsies, but we already knew that.

A.N – I just want to give a shout out to my one and only reviewer Singin-newsie-goil! Thank you so much I'm glad you like the story! Here is the next chapter, it's gonna be really short because I need to have a small casting call to get some people to be Vegas Newsies and a couple young want to be show girls. Well here it is! CC at the bottom.

As the train pulled into the Los Vegas Station, Sparks awoke. Her eyes had grown heavy from crying and it was all she could do to stay awake. Her heart was aching and she wished that she had never left Manhattan, her new home. She knew coming back to Vegas was not going to be a fun trip. Prestly and the boys were not going to be pleased with her for leaving in the first place and now coming back met she would have to face them and come up with an excuse for leaving.

Stepping off the train the bright lights of the city hit her eyes, making them even more swore then they already were. She had forgotten how bright that city was at night, it was just like the sun was still up. 'alright .' she said to herself. ' I better go to the Lodging house and talk to Prestly before I do anytin else.' And with that she set of threw the station and out on the road to the Vegas newsboy lodging house.

As she reached the lodging house she saw that it had become older and more worn down since she had left. But to a lot of boys it was home. She pushed open the door and entered the building. It was almost eleven o'clock at night but she knew that they would all still be up. She walked past the empty desk. Mr. Hoffmen must have quit, he had talked about it for a long time. 'Oh well,' she though. 'He can do so much better then this job. and the boys can take care of dem selfs.' Her thoughts were interrupted buy yells and hollers coming from above her. She continued up the stairs until she reached the top stair, and stopped in her tracks. She was so scarred of what Prestly would say and do to her.

"oh well. No turning back now. You have to do this. For you, and for Race." She said to herself. She took the last step and stood in front of the open door. The room went quite as all eyes turned to her.

"Well, well." A dark figure said from one corner of the room. "If it ain't lil miss Campbell the traitor and run away." The boy stood up. He black hair covering his eyes, he pushed it out of the way as he moved closer to Sparks. His brilliant aqua blue eyes, staring straight into her emerald ones. His nose was a little off center as it had be broken so many times in fights over they years. He had two small scars above his left eye. He was about 6'2 which made him tower over her, he was well built. Which made his deep blue shirt almost too small for him, as well as his deep black pants.

"well hello to you too Prestly. Long time no see. And I ain't no traitor. I wasn't da one who ratted you out to da cops. I ain't that low." Sparks said.

"Sure you ain't. if your not den why did yous run away right after I got busted buy day cops?" his eyes flashed when he spoke to her. You could see the hatred in his eyes. It reminded her of Spot back home, but un like Spot she feared Prestly.

"Cause I didn't want to be dragged into your little problems that I wasn't part of. So I left to live wit me cousin over in Manhattan. But when word came to me that you was outta the joint and wasn't to happy wit me, I thought it best to come back and explain me self instead of yous coming and startin fights that don't need to be started." She replied.

"So you came back to live you life of the past again did ya?"

"Yea. And dis time I ain't gonna leave no matter what. I promise. Dere ain't nothing for me back in Manhattan." Sparks said looking at the ground and knowing that the last part was a lie. Everything she ever wanted was waiting for her back in Manhattan. She looked up only to see Prestly's fist hit her in the face. Her vision started to grow dark.

'What? Why did he do that?' she asked herself. ' I wish Race was here, I'm scarred now.' And with that last thought flouding through her mind her vision went black and her thoughts went blank as she hit the floor.
