(I just wanted to say Thank you for the reviews! And I actually got a really good twist idea from a guest review ;) So Thanks for review and hope you enjoy! :D)
-At the Lodging house-
(Jack's POV)
'Gez, this kid has brought so much trouble since she showd up da othera day. I need ta protect my boys. Maybe she shoudln't be a newsies' So many thoughts were racing through my head om my way ta da lodging house.
'Wait! What are ya thinkin'? Fora one thing she is a goil, and ya can't just leave 'er on da streets! You saw 'er brother's way of handlen trouble. No Ya need ta take care of Klutz.'
I made my decision. Klutz is now my new little sistera. "Ya. I'm gonna be 'er new brothera." I told myself. 'Dat scum bag she used ta call a brothera was trash'. I finally arrived at da lodgin' house. Runnin' up the steps, I found Mush and Boots trying ta get Specs ta come round. 'Boots must of came 'ere after dropping off Crutchie and Klutz at da hospital'
I walked into the make shift kicken and got some water outta the tub we called da sink. Walking back out ta da loddy wid a cup of watera I dumped it on Specs. Who jumped awake. I let out a small chuckle bout Specs' looks of confused bout how he got ta da loddy house.
Looking around confused he asked me, "Where is Racetrack and Sniper? Did Klutz and Crutchie get ta da hospital? Did Spot every come and help? When did we get back ta da lodging house? Did we win?" My smile faded quickly,
"Well Racetrack got stabbed and pumbles unconsious and Sniper 'nd Pocket took 'im ta da hospital." It hit me dat I pretty much put three of my newsies in ta da hosptial cause I wasn't dere for them. "And I have to go check if Klutz and Crutchie are ok still." Dead silents came upon us. Not many newsies were 'ere. They all went ta Tibby's tanight. "I better go" And wid dat I turned and left.
-At the hospital-
(Race's POV)
'Ow I can barely move my arm' When I woke up I wad in a hospital room wid Crutchie in anothera bed next ta me. Sitting in some chairs in da corner wad Sniper and David playing poker. Les was asleep in anothera chair next ta David. "'Ey? playing a game wid out me?" I spoke up, but suddenly regreted it when my chest started hurting form me talkin'. 'Ouch!' I grimaced and they walked overa ta me.
"Ey. Well we gotta have a chance ta win pokera sometimes." Sniper said. David agreed, "Ya, but ya know I should get Les back home. Ma is gonna worry about us." Sniper said goodbye and I nodded goodbye, which wasnt a good choice eithera.
"It hurts doesn't it?" I let out a soft 'Yea'. he stood dere for a minute before I finally spoke up. "Where Klutz? and hows Crutch doin'?". 'Er i gotta stop talkin. its hurts to much.' His smile faded. I went to speak but he staretd before I could.
"Foist don't talk. Ya got a few broken rids and I can tell it hurts ya when ya try to talk...Crutch just got a small concussion, and some bad brusies, but he is gonna be as good as he used ta in a week or two 'nd klutz didn't get so lucky." He trailed off for a second before lookin' me in da eyes.
"Klutz got it really bad...and she is -" He was inturted by Jack bursting through da door. "Hey Sniper. Pockets leave wid Spot?" Then 'is eyes trailed overa ta me, "hey Race, how ya feelin'? I looked dat Sniper ta tell 'im what was going on. "'ey Jack, Well Race got some stiches in 'is shoulder and its gonna be sore for a while and he gotta wear a sling for a while too." He explained.
He looked between us talking, "And I haven't seen Conlons since I lefted da ally way. And Pockets ran after he help me get Racetrack 'ere." Jack nodded, "I saw Boots at da lodgin' house and David when i was coming inta the building. But I asked 'im bout Klutz and 'is face dropped.. Where is she anyways?" He asked.
Jack and I both looked at Sniper, whos eyes fell ta his feet. 'Was he gonna say Klutz didn't make it? Its gonna crush Crutchie if she is... No stop thinking bout dat. She is gonna be fine'.
"Um well as ya already know, Klutz had some pretty bad head injuries from before, 'nd they did a nice job giving 'er a beatin'. And some bones were broken too." He looked up dat us for a second before he continued. "Klutz is um well..."
Dead silents. "Is alive, but not be for long."
