Disclaimer: As I've said countless times before, and I'm sure I'll say it countless times again, I, sadly, do not own any of the newsies. They are © to Disney, as hard as I try to get them for myself. I do, however, own Jess/Stress, Rip, Spindle and the O'Connor's. Any other character is property of the author I've borrowed them from.
Author's Note: It's about time that I've re-uploaded this story. Like I did with Cuts Like A Knife, I changed the New Yawk accent to English, as well as tying the stories a bit closer together. Other than that, the story is the same – and I hope you enjoy it. This is the first completed fiction I ever wrote, and I am extremely proud of it's existence.
Soul Mates Series: This is the third installment in Stress & Jack: Soul Mates. It is preceded by Cuts Like A Knife (I) & Secrets Behind the Lies (II) -- it is followed by Can't Keep Running (IV), in case you would like to follow the story further.
