She woke up with back cramps and slowly made her way to the bunkroom. She looked into the mirror and laughed. Its great being back! She finally got ready and headed out into the city. Everywhere she went she saw the newsies. Every now and then one of them would glance at her and some would even smile. Maybe there is hope for me. Jersey walked around in her blue dress which resembeled a dress in the fanciest of stores. Many 'scabbers' nodded her way and actually acknowledged her presence. As Jersey neared Tibby's she saw two young men hassling a young girl. It turned out to be the Delancey Brothers. Jersey quickly walked over there and tapped Morris on the shoulder.
"What do youse--" Morris said as he turned around. His mouth dropped and didn't finish his sentence. oscar turned around to see what made his brother stop talking.
"When did youse get back?" Oscar asked her as the three of them movied to a bench.
"Just yesterday." Jersey replied as she looked over to the little girl and smiled--then the girl ran off in a different direction.
"Whyse are ya back?" Morris asked as he picked up an apple from the ground.
"I belong in New York. No matter how hard I tried to forget about this place, I can't." Jersey sat on the bench and crossed her ankles.
"Youse know, us and da newsies aren't on great terms anymore." Oscar chimed in-changing the subject.
"Really?" She looked up to him. "Why is that?"
"ISe really don't know. Its like dey blamed us fer ya missing. But dat is just what Ise tink." Oscar replied.
"Oh." Jersey said sadly. "Well. I guess I should be going." She said after a few minutes of awkward silence. She stood up and said her goodbyes to the brothers. As she arrived at Tibby's, she realized the newsies were in there. She softly opened the door and without anyone (who recognizes her) knowing, she walking to an empty table in the corner. She sat there starin at the cheap paint that was starting to peel off the wall and imagined herself somewhere else. She soon came out of her daydream when a person took the seat in front of her. It was Blink. Blink removed his hat and placed it on the table as he patted his hair back down. He then folded his hand and exhaled deeply.
"Whyse are ya heres?" He looked at her like she was a complete stranger-like an enemy.
"Blink. When I left, it wasn't suppose to be for this long."
"But it was. It was three years. Ya hear me? THREE YEARS!"
"Yes I know! Do you even know how much I miss you! I could NOT stay!"
"And whyse not?" Jersey soon realized that both of the were standing and the whole restaurant was quiet.
"Because I...I...I..."
"I what? Whyse did ya go?" He looked at her with intense eyes.
"I was pregnant." As soon as those words came out she walked out of the restaurant and towards Brooklyn. Blink, on the other hand sat back down and put his head in his hands.
As Jersey arrived at the Brooklyn Lodging House she contemplated whether or not she should go back or not. She didn't have much time to make a decision because the door opened and out came Spot. He looked at her and leaned against the doorway.
"What are youse doing here?"
"I don't know" SPot looked at her with one eyebrow cocked up as Jersey sat on the stoop. "I don't know anymore." Spot saw the confusion within her eyes, so he sat down beside her.
"What are youse doing here?" Spot asked softly, tilting his head to look at her.
"I don't know." Jersey said sighin. After a few minutes a tear rolled down the side of her cheek. "I'm sorry for leaving, I really am."
"Lets not talk bout it." Spot said as he lifted himself off the stoop and stood in front of Jersey. "Whats done is done. Nuttin youse can do to change it." He looked upon Jersey as she slowly nodded her head. "Now youse better head back if youse want ta make it before dark." With that said, Spot retreated back into the Lodging House.
Jersey wiped the tears off her cheeks and headed back to Manhattan. She felt better after talking to Spot. his presence always made her feel at ease. Jersey's walk back to Manhattan didn't feel like it took too long. Once she arrived at the Lodging house she saw the lights on with the door wide open. Poker Night. Jersey thought. She crossed her arms and proceeded to enter the building. She waved to the Kloppmann as she walked up the stairs. SHe entered the first door to the left. The storage room. Inside were a couple of beds and boxes. Jersey closed the door after her and went to the bed nearest the window. She soon fell asleep.
During the night a figure entered the storage room and sat next to Jersey's bed. The figure took her hand and whispered, "Ise love you. Please take me back." The figure then fell asleep, still holding onto Jersey's hand.
Now review!
