Disclaimer: I don't own the Newsies. I also don't own the song Spot sings. That is owned by Daniel Bedingfield. The song is called If You're Not The One. It's a really good song.
Chapter 10
For the next couple of weeks, Kate rarely saw Spot. She figured he had leader stuff to do. When Friday night rolled around though, he was no where to be found. Spot had never missed Medda's shows. That was mostly due to the fact that Kate was usually performing, but even before she had started working there, he never missed a show. Kate just decided to go with the rest of the Brooklyn boys and meet Spot there. For all she knew he could be there already.
When Kate got to Medda's, she tried to find Spot but he never turned up. She figured he was running late from a meeting or some such thing and he would come later. Kate was definitely excited for this show though. She had heard that there was going to be another special performance and that she had to be there. Kate found a seat with Jack, Blink, Race, and Mush. Soon after she was seated, the show started. After a couple of acts, Medda came out on stage.
"As I'm sure you have heard we have a special act for you tonight. It is a real treat to have him here again. So without further delay, here he is."
The lights went down in the theater and the stage was completely dark. A few chords were played and a gorgeous voice started to sing.
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
The spotlight came up on Spot and he continued singing.
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms
If I don't need you then why am I cryin' on my bed
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms
'Cause I miss you body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms
The whole theater was completely quiet when he finished. Spot called Kate up on stage and she walked slowly up the stairs. Spot watched her as she walked. He gave her a nervous smile when she stopped in front of him.
"Kate, I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I feel like I've known you me whole life. I love you Kate with everything that's in me." Spot then took out a simple gold ring, took her hand, and got down on one knee. "Will you marry me Kate?"
Kate stood there for a moment in complete and udder awe. This was the last thing she had expected. She knew Spot loved her, but she never, in her wildest dreams, expected this. A smile came to her lips though as she thought about it.
"Yes." She said nodding her head.
"Yes?"
"Yes!"
Spot slipped the ring on her finger then gave her a passionate kiss and a huge hug. The whole theater got to their feet and applauded. There were whistles, catcalls, and a few "way to go Spot".
Everyone was still applauding when Kate and Spot walked off the stage and went back to the table she had been sitting at and sat down.
"Hey Spot, how come ya never sang for me?" Lady asked.
"Shut up Lady." Spot replied while pulling Kate onto his lap.
The rest of the night was filled with congratulations, music, and laughter.
