As the days past Spot and Sky got closer, they were inseperable, if
ever you were looking for one, you would just need to find the other
because then you would find wichever one you were looking for.
One night after went to bed, Sky went up to the roof to think, but
when she got up there, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the ledge.
"Watcha doin up heah Spot?" I asked him.
"I could ask the same of youse." He replied.
I could tell something was bothering him. He was soo cute when he was
thinking.....Woa where did that come from, oh well you know you like him.
Oh shut up sky, you have got to stop talking/arguing to yourself. Arrrgg
thoughts they always know the answer, but then also they are no good at
all. Ok stop now. Good thank you.
He didn't say anything else, so I sat down next to him, but as soon as
I sat down he got up and started pacing around.
"Whats the mattah Spot? Whats buggin ya so bad yer all wound up like dis?"
"Nothing, I'm jist thinking."
"Awww come on Spot, youse can tell me, ya always usually do."
"Fine ya wanna know, you, yer buggin me!"
"Me, What'd I do?" I asked bemused.
This was strange, I never done nuttin' what could it possibly be.
Then suddenly I was grabbed by the shoulders as Spot pulled me against
him hard. I only got a second to look into his eyes before he lowered
his face and kissed me, long and sweet. My first REAL kiss and it was
memorable.
When we pulled apart I was bewildered..
"What was dat?" I asked as I brought my fingers to my lips. Hated to
ruin da moment, but ya know, I'm a ditse when it comes ta dis.
"I taught I's was clear." Then he kissed me again.
"I's like ya Sky....a lot. I think 'boutcha all the time, and about what
could possibly happened to you that was soo horrible that it gives you
nightmares and makes you flinch all the time me or one a me boys moves too
fast or sumthin'. Don't look at me like that, ya I noticed. I know youse
try ta hide it, but sometimes yer not quick enough. I also wonder what
put that hurt look in your eyes that you show when you think no ones lookin,
well guess what, I was lookin' I always am. Sorry for saying it like this, but
it angers me ta think anyone could have done something that bad to you, so it's
hard for you to trust anyone fully, without any second thoughts about it. Tell
Sky, tell me who did dis to youse. Tell me everything. You can trust me. Please
trust me." Spot pleaded.
I started to say something, then I hesitated and thought it over again.
"I's can't, you see....well... um....I's jist can't."
I looked down at the ground, I couldn't face him knowing what I would find
if I looked into those eyes. After a awhile of silence I finally couldn't stand
it and I looked up. My thoughts were confermed. In his eyes I saw sadness and hurt.
Oh I wish Joey were here. I couldn't take my eyes from his, how can I say no to that
face. I hate it when he puts that wounded puppy dog face on I hafta tell him. So I did.
"When my mom married my dad, she didn't know his other side, but she soon found out.
He was always at a bar and stayed out late never coming home till 'round 2 or 3 on the
morning, smelling like cheap perfume. When he was home though, he was always yelling
at her and beating her. No matter what she did, she could never satisfy him. Then one
night he beat her sooo bad, he literally beat the life out of her. I witnessed it, so after
he went into the bathroom, I ran over to her. I held her hand, but she didn't have any
strength to do anything. After a few seconds of crying over her and telling her she had
to live, I felt a slight squeeze on my hand and then she went limp. She died there right
in my arms." I could feel the stinging of tears behind my eyes, threatning to break through,
but I pushed them back. I was not goin to cry, I am done crying for anything.
"After her funeral, he got worse and brought my brothers with him. Since mom was gone,
he thought I should take her place, so now I was the one always getting beaten. Him and
my brothers became a team and they would all take turns kicking the **** out of me.
Before I ended up here, I remember walking home from school, with me best friend, Joey,
and when I got home, my dad yelled at me for being late, then he started beating me, but it
didn't last as long as usual cus he was really wasted. I went to my room after wards and fell
asleep, but not for long, because then my brothers came home and did their share on me. Then I
fell asleep and woke up here." When I looked into Spots eyes, I saw anger and hatred in them, but
I could also see concern for me.
"Is dat what yer fight wit Jack was all about?" He asked.
"Ya, he wanted to know what happened, but I'se wouldn't tell 'im, so he got angry and said....."
I told Spot what Jack said and got kind of angry at Jack. But I told him not to worry about
it because some of it was my fault and plus Jack prolly didn't mean it.

"So did youse hear Spot's got anudder goil and it sounds pretty serious." said Jack
one day at Tibby's.
"So who's da unlucky goil?" Joked Mush.
"I don't know, but I's hear she's real purdy."
"All Spot's goils are pretty, but I bet she's not prettier then Sky." Blink said the last
part to himself, but Mush (who was next to him) heard him.
"Aw, have hope Blink." He said patting his shoulder.

Where is she. She's been gone for an awful long time now.
"Zoe, if you can hear me, this is Joey, tell me where you are. Oh please God
just give me sign, at least to tell me she's ok."
"Joooooeeeyyy!!"
"Yes mother?!"
"Time for bed!"
"Kay, I'm going. Goodnight!"
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Hey, youse alive?" Someone asked me, but they sounded so far away.
*nudge, nudge* What the 'ell who keeps nudgin me.
"Just 5 more minutes ma." I yelled groggely.
"MOM? Last time I's checked I wasn't no ones ma, let alone someone
I'se don't even know or met befoah."
"What the....." That woke me up as fast as if someone had thrown cold
water on me. I sat up and looked around. I was laying on the front steps
of a building. I looked up and read the sign outloud.
"Newsboys lodging house."
"Yup, so's what brings you here?"
Startled I turned around and met up with two brown eyes and a very handsome
face. I saw that it was a boy around 17, tall and lean. He wore a cowboy hat
and a red bandanna around his neck.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"Da name's Jack Kelley, but everyone calls me Cowboy. And if ya don't mind
me askin' ya da same question..' I shook my head..'whats yer name?"
"Josephine, but everyone calls me Joey."
"Well those are some pretty nice names,' (I know corny what can I say)
'Well den Joey, what brings ya here?"
"I was looking for my friend." My senses came back to me and I remembered
that if I ever wanted to find Zoe, I had better start asking around, so even
though I doubted she might be here, *cause it was like a different time zone*
I gave it a shot.
"Have you seen her? She's about this yay high, redish-blonde
hair, purplish-blue eyes, and answers to the name Zoe."
"Hmmmm, let me think. Zoe.......Zoe.' He stroking his chin and making it look
as if it took a lot just to think of it.
'Nope. I don't think so, Oh wait a minute, youse mean Sky. Yeah she was here
but den she put an egg in 'er shoe......and beat it." He said sarcastically.
"Oh wow your soo funny. But I'm serious."
"Ya so am I, she was here but den she ran away."
"What do you mean she ran away?"
"Exactly what I said. Jeez don't no body listen 'round here."
"Well, I'll just have to find her. I got to find her. Will you help me
Jack?......Please??" I begged him.
"Hmmmm, ok. Shoa, Me an' 'er have got a little unfinished buisness to attend
to." He had on an evil look. Kinda freaked me out a little.
