Chapter 15:

Fire looked at the man standing in front of her. He stood about a foot and six inches taller the her. She sat down on his bed. It was as soft as she remembered it. The room was painted a forest green and the trim was white, a pearly white. She had helped him paint his room, there were so many memories in this room, some good and some bad. Only one candle had fire burning above the white wax. The candle barely gave of any light. Fire couldn't make out the expression on his face. He was across the room from her. Fire's dark red hair looked almost black cause of the rain. Her white shirt had turned see through, her black pants had mud up to her knees. She had mud smeared don her face and her hands. She took her cigarettes out of her pocket, they were all dripping wet.

"Here's a change of cloths. You left these pair of pant here when you left." Fire caught the cloths thrown at her. The shirt she had received from him was a pale blue shirt. She knew the shirt was his and was gonna come to her knees. "Take a shower in my bathroom. No one with disturbed you. When you are done I'll be in the bunkroom playing poker. Come get me." Fire watched him leave and he slammed the door behind him. Fire stood up and made her way over to the bathroom. She light the candle in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There was nothing special about her. Guys only wanted her cause she was easy. Baby Doll was prettier then her with her blonde wavy hair and green eyes.

Fire wiped the tears away from her eyes. Dolly had abandoned her not he other way around. Fire was disgusted with her looks. Dark red curly hair and stone blue eyes. She just hated the freckles that ran across her face. She was Irish, there was no doubt about it. She hated everything about her. Her figure was gross in her eyes. Her chest was to big for her body and she had no butt. She was ugly and she knew it. She was thin that was ht only good thing. She hated her height and all the jokes made about it.

Fire undressed and jumped in the shower. She relaxed a little, but soon she would have to go out there and face all of them. She didn't want to. The look he gave her when he saw her. All the others had hatred written all over their faces. It wasn't gonna be as easy as she thought.

As much as she hated him, she loved him. She knew it too. She loved Mush so much more, but she loved him too. They had so many great times and he was always there for her. He never let anyone get away with hurting her except himself.

Fire got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. She looked in the mirror again. All the dirt was gone but she still looked like trash, that's all she was, and all she was ever gonna be. Fire looked at her bag, everything inside had to be wet. Fire opened the bad and pulled out her make up.

She applied her silver eye shadow and brown mascara. She took her bronze lipstick and let it gently slide over her lips. All Fire could do was frown. No guy wanted her for love all they wanted for was lust. She did that to herself though, so she couldn't complain.

Fire let her hair fall in nice ringlets. She was to tired to but her hair up so she left it down. Fire dressed quickly. Like she had thought, the shirt did come to her knees. She took the shirt and tied it, unbuttoning buttons at the top too. Fire walked out of the bathroom. The room was dark but there was nothing she could do. She had already blown out the other candle. Fire walked slowly though the dark room, making sure she wasn't bumping into anything. She open the door and walked down the hallway. She reached the bunkroom. She herd the yelling and laughter from behind the shut door. Fire sighed before opening the door and all eyes fell on her.

"Slick," Fire said quietly.

"You got some answers I want. But I want them privately. Back to my room girl." Slick grabbed Fire's arm and dragged her out of the room antinomies room. "Sit." Fire sat down on his bed. "Before you say anything I wanna say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for treating you like crap two years ago. The truth is Fire I cried the night you left and took Jimmy. I love you Fire and Jimmy. I haven't been with another girl since you left me. I miss you Fire." Fire smiled weakly at Slick. "Now explain why you're here."

"Well I found my brother and I've living with him and the newsies. The found out that I have slept with married men in the past and ruined families. Dolly even told me that was low. She took their side and they kicked me out of Brooklyn and Manhattan. I need a place to go."

"So you come here. Not cause you miss me or love me. Cause this is your last resort!" Slick sat down next to Fire on the bed. "Thanks Fire."

"No I do love you. Slick I came here cause I love you, hoping you'd take me back. Slick I wanna be with you. I want this to be our room. I miss all the good times we've had together. I want more times like those." Fire sat on Slicks lap. "Slick please understand." Fire rested her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. Slick kissed her soft hair.

"I understand. You look like you could use some sleep. Come on." Fire stood up so Slick could. Then she mad herself comfortable in his bed. She loved being in his bed. Slick smiled at her. "You look stunning with your hair down." Slick climbed into bed next to her and pulled her close. She could hear his heart beating. She felt warm and safe in his arms. Slick kissed her softly on the lips. "Night baby."
