Our visit was short. I told her about being in the Lodging House. I told her about Kevin and Scott too. But what I couldn't tell her was about Oscar, Morris, and the events going on presently. We left before it got dark and went to the Lodging House. Scott and Jack were talking about something when we got there. I headed for my room and when I reached the door I heard Spot.
"can I talk te ye Scott? It's about Angel."
"Yea surre."
They left to go on the roof. I wondered what they were to talk about. Not too long after I had gotten ready to sleep and someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." I yelled. It was Scott. "Whudd ye want?"
"I hoid ye told Spot bout Trevor. Everythin alright?"
"Yea why?"
"I thought ye'd neva tell no one bout Trevor.
"It looks like I'm getting ova im." I said smiling to myself.
"Good." He hugged me. "G'nite."
"G'nite Scott."
That night I had a nightmare and woke up in a cold sweat. Trevor was in my dream. He had found me, that's what had been scaring me for months.
"Whudds wrong?"
"Spot? Whudd er ye doin in hea?"
"Jack an yer brodda've been talkin all nite. It's quieta in hea so I kinda came in hea while ye were sleepin. Whudd happened?"
"Nuttin really."
"Must've been a nitemare."
"Yea..must've been....Are dey still awake? Jack and Scott I mean?"
"Yea. Oh so I think I know who it is. I think it's Jacky-Boy ye like."
"Yer far from im. Ye should really stop tryin te find out." I said as I got up to find Scott.
"Yer still up?" Scott asked as I came into the bunkroom.
"Could I talk te ye Scott?" I asked looking at Jack who was also awake.
"Yea surre. Everythin alright?" he asked once we got to the roof.
"Yea...guess so."
"Whudds wrong?"
"I had anudda nitemare...bout Trevor."
"So dey came back?"
"I guess so...I thought I was ova whudd he'd said te me."
"I bet any goil who'd head at from im wouldn't be able te get ova it."
"It's ok. I'm fine now." I assured him leaning against the wall.
"Alright, betta gets some sleep if ye can."
"Thanks."
"Anytime." then he left me alone to think.
I thought for a little about stuff. I went downstairs and went straight to bed.
I must've slept late because Kloppman came in to wake me up. Most of the boys had gotten ready and had left. Spot and Bumlets were waiting for me when I came downstairs.
"Ye ready te go?" Spot asked grinning.
"Yea I guess." I answered.
"Well we betta get goin an get our papes before dey run out." Bumlets nagged already leaving.
We got to the Distribution Center and got out papes. Spot ad Bulmets sell with us just in case we ran into Crane or Knives. Spot heard the Delancey's hired six guys from the Crypts to beat up a girl, obviously they were talking about me. The only problem was we've seen only five of the six. He's also heard they found a random guy as the sixth member.
The morning went by pretty fast. I sold all of my papes before noon. I turned around the corner following Bumets and Spot. I thought I was someone I knew. My heart stopped and I froze. For a moment he looked at me and I just stood there looking back at him.
"S'matta?" Spot asked.
Spot caught my attention then I looked back to see nothing was there. "Nuttin. Must've been seein things" I sad looking around frantically.
"Ye surre?"
"Yea." I sighed.
When we got to Tibby's I saw Scott and sat next to him. "I thought I saw Trevor taday." I said quietly.
"Where?"
"While we was sellin. I must've been seein things. Ye don't think he'd find us hea dye?" I questioned nervously.
"I hope not. Dats why we came hea."
"Whudds wrong Angel?" Race asked sitting across from us.
"Nuttin." I was looking out the window.
"Ye surre?"
"Yea. Positive."
"If ye need anything er wanna talk ye know ye could always ask one of us." Jack said to me from the booth behind Race.
"Yea I know. It's ok really." I was still looking out of the window.
While at the Lodging House I didn't do much, but sit in my room. I couldn't stop thinking about the afternoon. Did I really see Trevor? Has he found me like he had threatened three months ago? Thinking of the three months before hand a flashback played in my mind. It was a week before we were leaving. Trevor just hit my for telling him I didn't want to be with him anymore.
"Yer neva leavin me!" he yelled.
We were in his house. His parents were at work. He hit me again but this time I was knocked into a glass table. It shattered as both it and I fell to the floor. I remembered also how I was cut badly from falling on the broken glass. Another flashback I had was from the day we were leaving. I was still cut bad and had bruises from him hitting me. This time Scott was with me.
"We're leavin taday." I told Trevor.
"Somewhere where ye can't find her eida!"
"I swear I'll find ye no matta whudd. Ye can't hid fereva. I'll find ye an things'll be back te normal." Trevor snickered.
I snapped back into reality from a knocking on the door.
"Ang! Can I come in? it's important!" Scott yelled.
"Whudd is it?" I asked opening the door.
"Ye weren't seein things." he said slowly.
"Whudd ye talking bout?"
"Trevor. He's hea in Manhattan. Me, Jack an Race ran in te him."
"He's hea?!" I asked starting to tremble.
"Oscar must've found im somehow. We didn't get de whole story from im. I'm so sorry Angel." he said hugging me.
"Whudd er we gonna do?" I asked.
"I'm not surre yet. I promise I won't let nuttin happen te ye!"
I couldn't sleep during the night. Spot came in quietly probably thinking I was asleep. He climbed on the top bunk. I wondered whether he knew Trevor was here.
"I'm awake ye know." I said aloud.
"Sorry. I thought youse was asleep." he said almost instantly.
"did Scott say anything te ye?" I sat up.
"Ye mean bout Trevor?"
"Yea."
"He told me bout whudd Trevor did te ye. He also said Trevor's in Manhattan."
"Well den I guess ye know I saw im taday."
"I guessed dat already. We decided mebe I should take ye back te Brooklyn wit me. You'll be safer derre."
"I guess I have no choice." I said laying back down. "When do we leave?"
"Two days." The rest of the night was silent.
It took me a while to fall asleep.
