Memories

A.N – here's the next chapter hope you all like it! Review and I'll luv ya forever! lol

Sparks ran and ran as fast as she could, taking sharp corners and trying to avoid the people in front of her. She had no clue where she was, but she didn't care. As she slowed down and was about to take the last corner she ran smack into some one. She fell to the ground and papers flew every were. ' oh great just what I need someone else who's gonna yell at me and tell me off.' Sparks thought to herself as she slowly got up off the ground.

"Can't you watch where yous is going. You don't own the streets you know." A girl about Sparks' age yelled at her. The girl started to mumble to herself and tried to pick up the papers around her.

"Hey those are mine!" Sparks yelled running over and grabbing the papers away from her.

"Not all of them is. You ain't the only newsie in Las Vegas." The girl barked and snatched the papers back.

Sparks shot her and angry look. The girl was about three inches taller then her and had blond hair that fell to the middle of her back. She had a bigger build then Sparks but it suited her, and she looked older then she probably was, but that's what the streets can do to you. She had very pale skin around her eyes and mouth and nose, however most of it seemed to be burnt to a crisp. Her blue eyes looked as if she was hiding her emotions and secrets too. Sparks had never seen her around these parts before. She couldn't be a newsie. Sparks knew every girl newsie their was in Vegas, because well she was the first girl newsie. After she had became a newsie, Milkshake and Hollywood had came.

"So you're a newsie den? I ain't ever seen you around here?" Sparks said, picking up her share of the papers.

"I could say the same for you." The girl retorted loudly. "What's your name?"

" Meggera Campbell. And you?" Sparks said in an almost hoity totiy manner.

"De names Elizabeth Krueger. But I ment yous supposed newsie name. Dat is if you are one." Elizabeth said pointing a finger at Sparks.

"It's Sparks thank ya."

The girl gasped. "You mean as in like Prestly's old flame Sparks, the foist goil newsie in Las Vegas." Sparks nodded. A pleased and disgusted look on her face. She hated being known as ' Prestly's old flame.' "oh gees I'm sorry Sparks. I'm Spitfire." The girl said a little more quietly.

Sparks was taken back. She didn't expect an apology for anything. It was weird. The girl had changed her personality almost in the blink of an eye. "It's ok Spitfire, I'm just having a rough go. I'm not usually like dis it's just...well...oh never mind. So how long have you been a newsie?" Sparks asked.

"Half a year. Me mum had told me to go for my dreams and I thought she was serious. But den when she left me in the streets I had really no dreams to go for anymore they were all shattered. So I came here and well you know." Spitfire said looking at the ground.

"Eh don't worry, if you've got friends den everyting will turn out better." Sparks said, feeling a guilty plunge in her gut. "you do go friends here right?"

Spitfire looked up. "Course I do. Der's..ahh Milkshake and Hollywood at the lodging house. And den there's me good friend over at the Roll 'N 'Ruckus theatre. Well it's not a theatre is more of a show house I guess I don't know."

Sparks laughed. "I know where ya mean. I ain't been there in forever. I think I'll go over and revisit the old place and take in some old memories. Want to come wit me?" Sparks asked.

"Sure! den you can meet me good pal Sunshine and all de rest of the goils there." Spitfire said.

As the two of them started back down the road towards the distribution centre, Sparks began to wonder if everything had changed more then she thought it would have. All the buildings looked the same, but maybe on the inside everything was different. Maybe the people of the town had changed too much for her, what if she didn't fit in anymore. And then it hit her. If she didn't fit in she couldn't leave, everyone back in Manhattan was probably mad at her. no one would forgive her. And then there was Race. He was probably so over her already and if he was she would be broken. She would never be over Race in a million years. Finally they stopped in front of a large building with the words Roll 'N 'Ruckus on the front in pink florescent lights.

"Haha it looks just like I remember it. There use to be some pretty crazy parties going on here." Sparks said .

Spitfire looked at her and laughed. "I bet there was." She said. "Come on lets go in side."

Spitfire walked up to the door and pushed it open and went in. Sparks stood out side the door looking in, unsure if she wanted to enter or not. She knew that around ever corner lurked a memory of her past.

"You coming Sparks?" Spitfire called out to her.

" Ah..yea I'm comin." Sparks replied back to her.

Entering the building she could almost see herself in front of her years ago. Hand in hand with Prestly Waters. They had supposedly been in love. He told her everyday that he would never do anything to hurt her. She had been young and naive, and she believed him. As they turned a corner she saw the old table they use to always sit at. They would always be there every Friday night, they would never missed a show. Sparks stopped. As she looked at the table she saw herself sitting there laughing. The memories flooded her head.

It had been two years ago on a Friday night. She was sitting laughing and flirting with Prestly like she did every nigh. Suddenly he got up and moved in front of her, and as gentlemen like as he could he asked her to dance. Sparks grabbed his hand and curtseyed and they began to dance, slowly turning in circles. Her head lying lightly on his shoulder, and his head on top of hers. He whispered in her ear "I promise you dat as long as I live you will always be safe and I will always love you."

Sparks smiled and looked into his aqua blue eyes. "I know you will. I love you too." She replied. Slowly his eyes moved from her eyes to her mouth and back again. He leaned in. his lips touched hers. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. It was as if she was in a dream, at first the kiss was so soft that she could hardly feel it and then it turned into a deep passionate kiss, and slowly faded back to softness. As they pulled apart she opened her eyes and looked into his. He was smiling. Sparks couldn't help but smile back at him.

It was after that night that her world as she knew it came crashing down.

"HEY SPARKS!!"

Sparks snapped back to reality. "What?" she asked confused.

"you were kinda zoned out there." Spitfire said.

"Sorry. Just remembering things." Sparks said shaking her head and following Spitfire down the hall, to a big door that said 'dressing room.' Spitfire knocked on the door. A young girl of about 16 opened the door.
