A/N: A one shot, Sorry, this is really corny. Well, not really, but in a
sense. And no, I do not usually listen to Avril Lavigne. I've had this song
stuck in my head all day and I HAD TO GET IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (sorry oracle, but yeah, I stole pie's only
line) LOL So yeah, I'm done for now. Please read and review.
An icy breeze cut through the deserted streets as the silver clouds flooded the sky, small diamonds falling from them. Upon hitting the ground, they shattered, splashing the cold cement of the streets. Shadows hung through the buildings, giving an effect of fear to any who dare to pass; an everlasting threat.
I'm standing on a bridge I'm waiting in the dark
Wisps of damn golden hair flew behind her, and her sea-green eyes stared out over the river. Tears filled her eyes as she listened to the gulls sing their haunting song.
I thought that you'd be here by now
The sky cried for her, and lightning flashed, followed by the angry sound of thunder. The long black cape blew back, and the dim light from the streetlamps revealed her tattered clothes.
There's nothin' but the rain No footsteps on the ground I'm listening but theres no sound
From the corner of her eyes she saw a group of three grungy boys heading her way. Her eyes lit up in anticipation, then fell as they walked past her, not even noticing her prescence.
Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? Won't somebody come take me home?
She knelt down, feeling the chill of the wet ground go up her spine. Lifting the hood of the cloak over her head, she leaned back against the bridge.
It's a damn cold night Trying to figure out this life
Gazing at the boys, laughing and joking together, she wished she had someone, anyone for her. She watched them until they disappeared into a Lodging house. A soaked newspaper sheet landed against her side. With a hint of disgust, she removed it and threw it with the wind.
Won't you take me by the hand Take me somewhere new
Sighing to herself, she lay down, curling into a fetal position on the street side.
I don't know who you are But I'm, I'm with you
The click of shoes echoed into her mind, and she forced herself not to look up. Silence hung low in the air. She reminded herself that no one would notice, or want to notice that she or any other orphan on the streets existed. She jumped a bit when a hand lightly shook her shoulder.
I'm looking for a place Searching for a face Is there anybody here I know
Supporting herself on her forearm, she looked up. A pair of bright blue eyes stared into hers with pity, and she lay herself back down, trying desperately to cover herself with her cloak. It was times like this she wanted to be invisible.
Cause nothings going right And everything's a mess
Once again she was frightened as the unknown boy scooped her up carefully and began carrying her towards the Lodging house the boys had gone into. She thought about fighting, but decided that any human contact was better then none.
And no one likes to be alone
Surrounding her were boys that she recognized as the newsboys, newsies. She closed her eyes ignoring the stares of them. He brought her to the fireplace and put her down in one of the three large armchairs. The light of the fire reflected in her face, as did the warmth that enveloped her. She looked around for her savior, but couldn't see him, so she just settled back into the chair, enjoying what she had for the time she had it.
Oh, why is everything so confusing Maybe I'm just out of my mind
He rubbed her arm, and her eyes opened. She saw in his other hand he had a dry set of clothes and a blanket. He put them on the end table next to her, then turned to leave. Not knowing what else to do, she grabbed his hand and pulled him back. He kneeled down to her level. Biting her lips, she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.
Was a damn cold night Tryin' to figure out this life Yes you, took me by the hand Took me somewhere new Now I know who you are, And I'm, I'm with you I'm with you I'm with you.
A/N: So whaddaya think? Horrible? Awesome? CORNY AS ALL F*CK? Can you guess WHO the newsie boy that saves her is? Hehehehehehehe Raven knows.
Oracle knows.
If they don't they aren't obviously very smart ones.. THEY'RE STILL MY BUDDIES THOUGH!!!!!!!!! Well, please review!!!! K, byes.
