A.N. I appreciate all of your support. Here it is folks the Last Hurrah. Slightly… Dickenson style ending. But, first Dave has to feel the let down of Rose leaving him in this ultra short chappy. Only one chapter after this. And, as always I have no ownership of the Newsies and not affiliated with Disney in anyway. Thanks for all the Reviews. Please, Please, Please Review. LyxnLion
The One Left Behind
David laid down to sleep that night knowing he wouldn't sleep a wink. She had left. She wouldn't say where or how she was going. He suspected Spot knew where she was going, but he wouldn't give. He came home that night feeling slightly giddy, guilty, and desperate. What he had been dreaming of had happened, she loved him. But she was gone, he knew how much the rest of his family had been hoping to see her again. Even Sarah, who had never met her but had finally returned home, almost normal. For days he had been trying to save the girl he couldn't live without, and his family had had to get by with what Les could make selling with Jack. Yet, it was only himself who walked in the door that night. It seemed like he was an actor reciting the day's events like one who had studied a monologue. Then, when the apartment went dark and quiet, his mind exploded with thoughts and feelings. Her life had seemed enchanted when he saw her at the Ball. She was like, a perfect painting, all sealed up and ready to be possessed. The small imperfections he knew were presents on her long studied face were smoothed and hidden. The Luxury in the place was spelled with a capital L. He could never hope to be the man equal to her, Miss Rose Llewellyn. When she was around, none of it seemed to matter or plague him. It will all work out if she can only come back. It would be a sleepless night.
Across town, Spot made it to Brooklyn. He motioned to small boy, "Hey Half Bit, I want you'se to find out where Thorns is and where she's going." Half Bit scampered off and Spot made his way to the Bunkhouse. In the morning, Half Bit was waiting for him. "Ya know where the goil is?" Spot asked. Half Bit nodded his head and then whispered into Spot's ear. Spot straightened and smiled, "Good. The goil's definitely gots the brains."
