Hey guys! This chapter was just a really quick figment of my imagination.
I don't know where I thought of the idea or why I would use it, but now
that I have actually written it and thrown it at you guys, I think that
something else I have in mind will happen. I can't really tell you because
it's a surprise. All I can really tell you is that, Snitch is going to be
a jerk in one of the chapters and well Liz is just Liz. That chapter will
be the dramatic one, and the next chapter after that will be the funny one.
You guys have no idea what I have planned for that chapter! LOL *laughs
evilly* But, I'm not sure when that'll come up, hopefully soon, so be
aware of that. Sorry that I can't give you more info on it, but I don't
wanna ruin the surprise.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, if you guys don't, I'm sorry, but I just kinda liked the idea for this one. I don't know why, I just wanted something different to happen. Everything was just the same old thing and I wanted something new and fresh to come up and lo and behold, here it is! Enjoy all!
Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies, I only own Liz. Blue Boxer and Chicken Wing belong to themselves. So, yeah.
Chapter 17: Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you were born to stand out? ~*~*~*~*~*~* Everyone awoke to the usual screaming of Kloppman. That was a regular morning ritual for all the Newsies. They all got up and got ready for their day of selling newspapers. Everyone was running around and acting all crazy. People went back to bed and others just ran around the bunkroom before they headed out the door. Of course Liz and Snitch went out together. Snitch stopped talking as he noticed that the one person he hated with a passion was walking past the Lodging House. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth at the sight of Oscar. He ran over to him and pushed him. "What do ya think you're doin' here?" He yelled.
"Woah, hey, Snitch, hold up, stop!" Oscar pleaded as he was being pushed backwards. "Hey, no, Snitch just stop." He put his hands up in surrender, not wanting to fight.
"What are you doin' here, Oscar?"
"I was jus' passin' by, honestly. I was jus' runnin' some errands for Uncle Wease. Dat's da truth, I ain't lyin'." Oscar said.
"Ooh really? Just some errands right? You turnin' intah some good Samaritan, Oscar? Is dat it?" He taunted. "You ain't nevah done nothin' good in your life an' now you expect me tah believe dis? What do ya think I am? You think I'm fuckin' stupid? Is dat it?" Snitch screamed.
Skittery was standing beside Liz and a few other Newsies to see what was going on. He put his hands on her shoulder to comfort her crying. He knew she hated it when Snitch would give everyone a hard time, especially when they weren't doing anything wrong.
"I was tellin' da truth, Snitch. Honestly, Wease needed some help an' I offered tah help him, dat's da whole story. Dere ain't nothin' more to it, jus' what I told ya." Oscar explained.
"You only came by tah see Liz, am I right Oscar?
"Snitch, I..."
"Answer da question!" He demanded.
"No, okay, no! It nevah dawned on me."
Snitch laughed. "It nevah dawned on ya? It nevah dawned on ya? Get outta here you bastard, you're insultin' my intelligence. It nevah dawned on you?"
"No."
"You can't come up wid a better answer den dat? What da hell, it nevah dawned on you? Oh my God, well it better not ever dawn on you, because if it does, I swear tah God, Quasimodo, dat I'll kill you." Snitch threatened. He got up in Oscar's face to frighten him. "You don't believe me? Try me. I got a knife in my pocket," he said slowly. "An' all I have tah do is pull it out an' all hell will break loose. Do you understand me?"
"Yeah."
"I ain't jokin' ya, Oscar. I really mean it. If you even touch Liz, I swear tah God dat'll be da las' time people will be seein' Oscar Delancy around New York, do you understand me?" Oscar nodded. "Good, den dere won't be no more problems den, right? Den get outta here." He pushed him away. "Go on your merry way an' finish dose errands for Wease."
As Oscar walked away he looked innocently at Liz. "I'm sorry." He muttered.
"Keep walkin' faggot!" Snitch yelled as Oscar gave everyone a final look and walked away. Snitch then walked over to Liz and attempted to put his arm around her. She brushed him off immediately.
"Don't touch me, Snitch." She backed away from him. "He wasn't even doin' anythin' an' you, you jus', you don't get it. Okay, you jus' never know when tah stop, do you? Do you, Snitch? You don't. You just keep goin' until you ruin everythin'. You were wrong about him, Snitch. You were wrong about everythin'! You say he didn't change an' he ain't ever goin' to. Well, you're wrong. He has changed, can't you see dat? Can't you see da difference in him?"
"Liz, guys like dat don't change. Dey may look an' act like it, but dey never change."
"Guys like who, Snitch? Guys like you? You know what I used tah see in him, Snitch? What I used tah see in his eyes? I used tah see da same thing I see in yours when you were yellin' at him. In other words, I used tah see you in da way he used tah act. Don't you get it? He turns intah da Snitch dat I used tah know, an' now you're turnin' intah da Oscar dat I used tah know. You're no better den he was. You're just as slimy if not worse den he was."
"Oh is dat so?"
"Yes, dat is so." She said firmly and walked off.
"Oh okay, well did I ever hit you, Liz? Huh? Did I ever hit you? Did I ever threaten you or feel you up? Huh?"
"I don't have tah listen tah dis." She continued walking.
"Well, next time think about what you say before you say it, okay. It's an insult tah be referred to tah someone like dat."
"Oh I'm sorry, Snitch. I wouldn't want tah ruin your image."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey." Skittery said as he sat down beside Liz at Tibby's. He set down the cup of coffee he ordered beside her. "You okay?"
"Quite, thank you." She sighed as she took a sip. She sat back in her chair and thought for a while. "Do you believe him?"
"Oscar you mean?" He asked. "I really don't matter what I think. It ain't a matter of if I believe him or not. It's a matter of what you really think, an' how he treats you. But if you wanna know my opinion, I'm sayin' no. I don't believe a damn word he says an' I believe dat all he's doin' is just foolin' ya wid a bunch of bullshit, but dat's just my opinion, ya know. I ain't one tah judge, an' it ain't about me. Da only thing it's about is if you believe him an' if he treats ya good. Dat's all dat matters."
"So I'm basically alone on dis whole thing?"
"Yeah, you're alone Liz." Skittery said honestly. "But dat ain't always a bad thing, ya know. I mean, we could be wrong. You could be right, Liz. You never know. But it's good dat you're alone. I mean, bein' alone makes people stronger an' it makes den fight harder for whatever dey're figthin' for, ya know. I know you ain't fightin' for nothin', but if you were it's good dat you're alone. I know you want someone else tah believe the same thing dat you do, but just, I don't know, keep believin' what you do. Maybe someday you'll prove us wrong." He shrugged.
"Yeah, sure." She smiled. "You know what? Dis reminds me of somethin'. Everyone is jus' so different nowadays, ya know. I mean, dis whole thing about you bein' here wid me, missin' out on seein' your boyfriend an' all, it kinda reminds me of da way me an' Snitch used tah be. I mean, not dat Snitch had a boyfriend or anythin', but jus' missin' a day of sellin' tah be here wid me an' tah listen tah me. It's jus' like old times."
"Well, I really didn't have much tah do, ya know. I mean, Chicken Wing can go a day without me. He don't need me, sometimes. But, no, I'm glad tah be here wid you, I mean, seriously, I'm just really, I – I don't know." He scratched his head. "I-just- really- sometimes, like, - um – Snitch can be an asshole. Yeah, he can be a big asshole sometimes, an' ya know, you need someone tah talk to an' you need someone tah listen you to. I'm doin' dis because of what you did for me. You just-I had tah tell someone. I couldn't just keep dat a secret any longer, an' I had tah tell someone. I'm really glad dat I told you. I know dat sounds pathetic, but I'm really glad dat I told you. I mean, who else could I tell? You couldn't beat my ass even if you tried." He laughed. "I really don't know what I'm tryin' tah say here, but I'm jus' really glad I can be here wid you, ya know. God dat didn't come out right." He blushed with embarrassment.
"No, Skittery, I know exactly what you mean. I mean, I used tah hate you. I mean, not a lot, but what you would put Snitch through, I used tah hate you an' everythin'. Now it's just, 'hey Skittery' not 'get da hell outta here Skittery'. It's just really great not tah hate anybody anymore, ya know. I'm really glad you came around. God, what am I talking about? I'm talking like complete crap." She laughed. "Sorry, my mind is just going blah! An' everythin' wid Snitch ain't helpin' much."
"Hey listen, don't worry about da whole Snitch deal. Dat ain't nothin'. I'll talk tah him, okay. I'll just, you know, I'll talk tah him an' everythin's gonna be okay. I know it." He said confidently. "You guys are gonna be okay, I promise you. It's just a phase or somethin'; he'll grow out of it. He's just in dis aggressive sort of stage, I guess, I don't know. He's different, ya know, I'm sure everyone goes through somethin' like dat, he just wants tah go kick some ass. Sometimes I feel da same way, but I just don't handle it da way he does, ya know. You ever feel like dat sometimes? Oh my God, what da hell am I askin' dat for?"
"Me? Ever feelin' like kickin' someone's ass?" She laughed. "Yeah, I sometimes feel like beatin' someone up an' everythin', but I just sort of beat up Snitch." Skittery gave her a look of disbelief. "I do, really! I beat him up sometimes."
"What could you possibly do tah him? Put a little scratch on his arm an' call it quits?"
"I know where it hoits, Skittery. I know where it hoits, don't forget dat." She smiled. "God you're right, I am so helpless ain't I?" She frowned.
"What are you talkin' about? You're not helpless. Did I say dat? Did I ever say dat you're helpless? If it sounded like dat, I didn't mean it dat way. Liz, you ain't helpless, you're one of da strongest people I know. I mean, everyone is so much bigger den you are an' you have tah understand dat. So physically you're not much tah deal with, but you're strong mentally an' emotionally an' I know dat sounds like a crock of shit, but it's true." Liz started to laugh again. "Don't laugh at me, it's not funny. I'm tryin' tah have a serious conversation." He joked. "Don't try tah be like everyone else, Liz. You're your own person an' dat's all dat matters. I've always admired how you would jus' be yourself an' refuse tah do stuff jus' because everyone else was doin' it. Dat takes a lot of guts; guts dat a lot of people don't have. I mean, dat whole gettin' laid thing. I wish I would have been like you sometimes."
"You got laid? When? Ew! Skittery, no, dat's gross!"
"No, no, no, no! It ain't what you're thinkin'. Hell no! Me an' Wing, no, we ain't never done anythin' like dat. No." Skittery explained as he leaned into the table.
"What all did ya do wid him, Skitts?"
"Liz, our relationship isn't like you an' Snitch's okay. We don't do da stuff dat you guys do. I've never done anythin' bad wid Wing, ya know. I've only jus' held his hand a few times, nothin' else. I don't think I'll ever do anythin' like dat, I mean not yet at least. It's too soon for all dat stuff. I mean, our relationship is more like a friendship then anythin' else, ya know. Now back on tah you! C'mon, let's get going." He pounded the table playfully. "What I'm tryin' tah say is, like, why do you always let what other people say bother you? Why don't you just be like 'fuck it', ya know."
"Skittery, I don't understand."
"I mean, sometimes you try tah be like everyone else an' you ain't like everyone else. You're – you! You're Liz, da only goil in da Lodgin' House! Da only reason why Kloppman lets you stay is because you've been dere your whole life right? But, you live wid all us guys an' you just are different, ya know. I mean, not like dat, but you're just somethin' else dat a lot of goils in 'Hattan ain't. Dat's probably da reason why I gave up on goils, because dey're all da same. Once you meet one you've met 'em all it seems. But, you're different, you're somethin' dat I've never seemed tah find. What I'm tryin' tah say is, why are you tryin' so hard tah fit in, when you were born tah stand out? (A/N: I have to give credit to What A Girl Wants for that last line!)" What was it, getting caught in the moment or something? I have no idea what it was, but it was definitely a magical moment between Liz and Skittery. Something had happened between them that had never happened before. The world was changing and so were they; everyone and everything was changing it seemed. It was so unexpected and so unimagined, it was almost like a hidden force was leaning him forward. It was like they both weren't even in their own bodies; they had no control over their bodies. Skittery leaned in and ended up finding his lips locked with Liz's. Why did it happen? I don't know!!!! For one moment they were kissing for the first time and for the last time as well. They both pulled part as quickly as they realized what was going on.
"Oh my God!" Skittery panicked.
"Oh my God!" Liz shrieked! "You?! I-woah!" She jumped up out of her chair and started pacing around the restaurant, causing quite a scene. Her hands were glued to her head as she tried to figure out what the heck she was thinking.
"Liz, I am so sorry! I just- I-uh- I don't know what came over me." He tried to explain, not understanding either.
"I-woah-I just – oh my God, Skittery! I just had an affair! I'm an adulterer! Oh my God!" She panicked.
"Woah, calm down, hold on! Hey, no! Liz, listen tah me, okay, shh, hold up." He tried to comfort her. He looked around at everyone staring at them with wide eyes. "Ahem, how about we take this outside." They both walked outside. "It's okay, Liz, don't worry about it. It's alright."
"I don't know what came over me, I just – I." She cried with disbelief.
"Shh, no, I know how you're feelin'. You're okay, alright. Everythin's gonna be okay, Liz. God Liz, you're shaking, just calm down for Christ's sakes, don't worry about it. You did nothing wrong, okay. It just happened. You didn't commit adultery, you're not an adulterer, you didn't have an affair, okay it was nothin'. It was just an unexpected kiss, it didn't mean nothin', alright. Everythin's fine. You don't have to worry about a thing. Snitch ain't gonna find out an' if he does, den I'll tell him da truth, dat it was my fault. Okay, it was my fault an' I take full responsibility for it. Jus' don't worry about a thing, okay. I mean, it ain't like it actually meant somethin' tah you, did it?"
"Skittery, I think it did."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yayness guys, this one is out and ready for your reviews! Thanks so much to all my reviewers! I love you all!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I don't really have anything planned for the next chapter yet, but I'll write what I know.
~~ Did that kiss mean anything to Liz and Skittery?
~~ Will the kiss ruin the friendship of Liz and Skittery or make them stronger?
~~ Can Liz keep the secret that might ruin her whole relationship with Snitch?
Yeah sounds kinda dumb, because I don't know what I want to put in that one. *shrugs* Oh well, thanks you guys! Love you all!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
SO's!!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Blue Boxer ~~ There ya have it! Your answer to your question. I told you the truth, I couldn't answer the question because I didn't know. Now I know and you have it written out on the computer. Read it and weep or read it and cheer or what ever you want. Also, one more thing: LOSER!
~*~*~*~*~*
Splashey ~~ I'm so glad you liked the last chapter. That one was written for my sister, Blue, because she wanted me to put her in the story and I kinda found a place for her to fit. LOL. I hope I didn't make you cry too much, I have to save up some tears for the end *wink wink* Don't worry, there are enough emotional chapters coming up soon. They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, they'll make you put a hole in the wall with anger. I have a really humorous one that'll be coming up fairly soon (I hope), I still am debating on whether I want certain incidences to happen or not, but I'll definitely throw a funny one in there for you.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, if you guys don't, I'm sorry, but I just kinda liked the idea for this one. I don't know why, I just wanted something different to happen. Everything was just the same old thing and I wanted something new and fresh to come up and lo and behold, here it is! Enjoy all!

"Quite, thank you." She sighed as she took a sip. She sat back in her chair and thought for a while. "Do you believe him?"

I mean, not like dat, but you're just somethin' else dat a lot of goils in 'Hattan ain't. Dat's probably da reason why I gave up on goils, because dey're all da same. Once you meet one you've met 'em all it seems. But, you're different, you're somethin' dat I've never seemed tah find. What I'm tryin' tah say is, why are you tryin' so hard tah fit in, when you were born tah stand out? (A/N: I have to give credit to What A Girl Wants for that last line!)" What was it, getting caught in the moment or something? I have no idea what it was, but it was definitely a magical moment between Liz and Skittery. Something had happened between them that had never happened before. The world was changing and so were they; everyone and everything was changing it seemed. It was so unexpected and so unimagined, it was almost like a hidden force was leaning him forward. It was like they both weren't even in their own bodies; they had no control over their bodies. Skittery leaned in and ended up finding his lips locked with Liz's. Why did it happen? I don't know!!!! For one moment they were kissing for the first time and for the last time as well. They both pulled part as quickly as they realized what was going on.
"Oh my God!" Skittery panicked.
"Oh my God!" Liz shrieked! "You?! I-woah!" She jumped up out of her chair and started pacing around the restaurant, causing quite a scene. Her hands were glued to her head as she tried to figure out what the heck she was thinking.
"Liz, I am so sorry! I just- I-uh- I don't know what came over me." He tried to explain, not understanding either.
"I-woah-I just – oh my God, Skittery! I just had an affair! I'm an adulterer! Oh my God!" She panicked.
"Woah, calm down, hold on! Hey, no! Liz, listen tah me, okay, shh, hold up." He tried to comfort her. He looked around at everyone staring at them with wide eyes. "Ahem, how about we take this outside." They both walked outside. "It's okay, Liz, don't worry about it. It's alright."
"I don't know what came over me, I just – I." She cried with disbelief.
"Shh, no, I know how you're feelin'. You're okay, alright. Everythin's gonna be okay, Liz. God Liz, you're shaking, just calm down for Christ's sakes, don't worry about it. You did nothing wrong, okay. It just happened. You didn't commit adultery, you're not an adulterer, you didn't have an affair, okay it was nothin'. It was just an unexpected kiss, it didn't mean nothin', alright. Everythin's fine. You don't have to worry about a thing. Snitch ain't gonna find out an' if he does, den I'll tell him da truth, dat it was my fault. Okay, it was my fault an' I take full responsibility for it. Jus' don't worry about a thing, okay. I mean, it ain't like it actually meant somethin' tah you, did it?"
"Skittery, I think it did."

Yayness guys, this one is out and ready for your reviews! Thanks so much to all my reviewers! I love you all!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I don't really have anything planned for the next chapter yet, but I'll write what I know.
~~ Did that kiss mean anything to Liz and Skittery?
~~ Will the kiss ruin the friendship of Liz and Skittery or make them stronger?
~~ Can Liz keep the secret that might ruin her whole relationship with Snitch?
Yeah sounds kinda dumb, because I don't know what I want to put in that one. *shrugs* Oh well, thanks you guys! Love you all!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
SO's!!

Blue Boxer ~~ There ya have it! Your answer to your question. I told you the truth, I couldn't answer the question because I didn't know. Now I know and you have it written out on the computer. Read it and weep or read it and cheer or what ever you want. Also, one more thing: LOSER!
~*~*~*~*~*
Splashey ~~ I'm so glad you liked the last chapter. That one was written for my sister, Blue, because she wanted me to put her in the story and I kinda found a place for her to fit. LOL. I hope I didn't make you cry too much, I have to save up some tears for the end *wink wink* Don't worry, there are enough emotional chapters coming up soon. They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, they'll make you put a hole in the wall with anger. I have a really humorous one that'll be coming up fairly soon (I hope), I still am debating on whether I want certain incidences to happen or not, but I'll definitely throw a funny one in there for you.
