We decided to stay the night to make sure Scott was ok. Everyone decided that while we were there we weren't allowed outside incase someone like Amber was around and recognized me. Even though I had to stay in with Bailey, Spot was allowed to go out and sell. Spot said he could manage himself, but I think I was the only one that worried when everyone agreed with him.
"Spot, I really don think it's a good idea." I said frowning as he got up and got dressed. "I don think ye should go out derre."
"Angel, I know but it's only fer a few days. I promise."
"But Spot-"
As I was trying to convince him to stay, he turned to me. "I know yer against it but ye know I can't jus stay in hea teday. Besides I can't afford te not sell wid de way youse eats." He chuckled.
"I'm serious. Whudd if he finds ye!" I shouted shaking my head. "I don wanna take dat chance."
"Angel." Spot said now kneeling beside the bed. "I promise I'll be careful. I'll be back an won't even go te Tibbys."
Reluctantly I had to agree. I knew we did need the money, especially since he still owed some of the newsies for the ring he bought me on my birthday as an engagement ring.
When Spot left I went to see who else was around. Scott was still asleep and I also found Kevin sitting and talking with Bailey. They seemed to be having a deep conversation, since they didn't notice me walking up to them.
"Uh, hello." I sighed showing my irritation.
"Hey Ang!" Bailey smiled.
".. Yeah hey." I sat down next to Bailey.
"Whudds wrong?" Kevin asked.
"I dunno. I jus don like de idea dat Spot can go out te sell but I can't. An not te mention its dangerous out derre wid Treva an dat gun."
"Ang, I promise he'll be fine. Derre ain't nuttin out derre dats gonna keep im from doin whudd he loves best or from youse. Not even a gun." Bailey hugged me.
"I guess I jus dunno whudd te do. Sittin hea is killin me and I can't go out."
"Calm yerself Angel, we ain't lettin nuttin happenin te Spot." Kevin grinned.
"Yer right. Mebe I jus need te keep me mind offa alla dis. I really wanned it te be ova de night at de party. 'Specially since we hadn had trouble wid im since." I shook my head. "I musta been stupid te think dat."
"Ye ain't stupid!" Bailey yelled slapping me upside the head. "Ye jus wanned te finally be happy an wid someone ye really love."
"Yeah, shes right Angel. It ain't yer fault ye waned te be ova alla dis. We all did."
I sighed knowing somehow I knew that day this wasn't over yet. Though I really wanted it to be. I went on the roof for a while and just sat in silence thinking to myself what I should do if I ran into Trevor. After a while I decided I should go back in before Bailey and Kevin started to worry and decided I should go see if Scott was awake.
I over heard Scott talking to someone "I think Angel needs te go back te Brooklyn wid Spot. She'd be mora safe derre. Bailey and Kev, ye both should go wid her. It ain't right makin her stay hea and havin Spot go out te sell. It'll drive her outta her mind if he keeps dat up."
"Yer right but ain't it fer her te decide. I mean she ain't a child and mebe Spot'll realize whudd its doin te her before anythin happends. I mean If Angel wants te stay hea and be wid her friends an family den she has a right te."
I walked into the bunkroom and saw Scott talking to Jack, Bailey, Kevin and Race. I was pretty mad but I calmly intruded. "Whudd eva yer plannin. I ain't leavin. I don care whudd ye say I have a right te be hea. I ain't goin back jus te come back and find out someone else's been shot."
"Ang, I'm only tryin te look out fer ye."
"Scott, I ain't a child and I came hea fer a reason. If ye don like me bein hea yer jus gonna have te deal wid it."
"Ang-"
"No, I won have it. I'm stayin as long as I gotta." With that I realized I stood up for myself and stalked off to my room with a smile.
"Hey! Took ye long enough te come back in hea! We was jus thinkin bout ye!"
"HeyaBarret an Blaze." I smiled.
"Well, we was told te try an talk ye inte goin back home. But we hoid yer speech an well. Guess we ain't got a choice."Barret grinned.
"Really, whudds dat?" I asked suspiciously.
"Well eida we drag ye back, yet Spot would kill us. Er we let ye stay an be yer body guads."
"I think de second choice would be a wise one." Blaze smiled standing up. "We don want Spot te kill us an break Angel's heart." He winked.
"Whudd can I say. Bein wid Spot really gots its benefits." I chuckled. I sat down on my bed to think. "When do ye think he'll be back from sellin?"
"No idea, he sometimes has a detoua on coiten days ye know." Blaze shrugged.
"Detoua? Whudd ye mean detoua."
"Dunn worry bout it. Nona us know eida. If ye didn't notice. Coiten days he comes back lata den usual."
"A'course I neva noticed. We always meet at de docks when he's done so I neva keep track o de time." Just as I was about to leave the room Spot came into my room. "Whea have ye been?"
"Dunn worry bout it. I'll tell ye lata."He said laying down on my bed.
"Spot! Ye had me worried! Don ye think I have a right te know if yer gonna be late an I have te stay hea?!"
"Angel! Dis has nuttin de do wit youse!" Spot snapped sitting up.
I was thinking he might be right but I at least deserved to know if he was going to be coming back late. I felt like a fool standing there right after Spot just yelled at me. I looked at both Blaze and Barret, knowing they both felt it too. I left the room both frustrated and upset and ran up the stairs to the roof.
As I walked onto the roof top I yelled to get my frustration out. I sat down and realized that me and Spot hadn't had an argument since I didn't want to meet my father. I didn't even know what made Spot so made to yell at me. 'Whudd if its anudda goil?' I asked myself. "Bailey would know whudd te do." I said reassuring myself. I wanted to go into the bunkroom but was afraid of seeing Spot at the moment. Yet still, I sucked it up and was searching for Bailey to help me with some answers.
"Angel!" Bailey obviously found me before I could find her.
"Somethin wrong?"
"Yeah, I think we need te talk." She whispered pulling me outside.
"Bai! Whea are we goin?!"
"Hush yer face! I don want Spot gettin mad since hes lookin fer ye, at least I hope lookin te apologize."
"Ye know he yelled at me?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Not only me, almost everyone in derre knows. We hoid him yell at ye silly. I dun care whudd it was bout, he had no right." She shook a fist at me. "Loin te defend yerself, even against yer own man! I dun care if its somethin poisonal, him bein out hea and you in derre, he needs te tell ye whudds goin on so ye ain't gotta worry!"
"Look, I know whudd yer sayin. I jus don think bringin me outta de Lodgin House is a good start."
"Hush! We're meetin Doodles at Christina's place!" She grinned. "Kevin is already derre wid em waitin fer us!"
"I ain't goin back te Brooklyn."
"No one said yer goin back hun. No jus follow me an we'll make suure ye loin te kick some real ass tonight!"
