yippie! another Jack one! hehe!
Here it is:
Chap. 12
I walked down the stairs that led to the main room. I saw Kloppman standing at the front desk.
"Kloppman, do you know where Jack is?" I asked him smiling at the old man who had done so much for me.
"Yea, I think he's sittin' on the roof. I don't know why, though. He seems thoughtful tanight." He said looking confused.
"Oh, ok. Thanks Kloppman." I said, not feeling like explaining to him why I wanted to talk with Jack. Then I made my way up the fire escape to the rooftop.
I saw Jack standing over by the air vent. He looked like he was going to cry, but I might've not seen right because it was dark out. He didn't turn when I walked up to him, either because he didn't hear me, or he didn't want to talk to anyone. I said hi to him, and he jumped. Okay, so he didn't hear me.
"I wanted to ask you something." I said, scared of how he was going to react to me confronting him, the leader over the Manhattan newsies, which included me.
"Yea, I knew somebody would want to talk ta me 'bout dat." He said, fully aware of what I was talking about. "What is yer question, though?"
"Um… how do you feel 'bout Sarah?" I asked him, feeling defiant.
"Ya know she and I used to date." I nodded my head. "Did ya know that she broke up wit me?" I didn't know that, and he must've noticed the surprise in my eyes, because he continued. "Well, she did, because I was 'holding her back' from doin' somethin' great."
He seemed so sad when he said it, and I felt bad about making him remember.
Jack then assured me, "I got over it quickly, though. Den one day, I had just gotten me papes, and some crazy goil walked up to me and introduced herself." He laughed, "She was so exciting and nice, and we sold papes wit each other dat day."
He looked at mefor a second with one eyebrow arched up, as if he was waiting for me to realize something. I just looked right back to him, so he continued on.
"I've started ta like her more and more as time has gone on, and I could never imagine going without her, but I don't think she knows dat." He said grinning.
I was outraged that he would do something like that to Three. "I can't believe you!" He just stood there with a smile on his face, and I wanted to slap it off of him.
"Hey, hold on! I'm talkin' 'bout Three, here!"
"Wait-" He just nodded at my sudden understanding.
"Then why don'tcha tell her dat?" I asked him, now very confused.
"I was gonna, but Sarah kinda ruined it." He said with a disgusted look on his face. "After lunch, today when we were walkin' around I was gonna say somethin', but now it has ta wait."
"I'm so sorry, Jack. I jumped ta conclusions" I said, now embarrassed about what I had done.
"Don't worry 'bout it. Could ya not tell Three 'bout dis? I wanna tell her myself." I agreed, and then headed back down the fire escape.
