He kept running. We ran all the way across the Brooklyn Bridge.
"I'm getting tired." I said.
My legs were starting to hurt.
"We're getting so close!" He said.
"Please."
Spot stopped.
"Just to catch my breath." I said.
I walked to the edge of the the bridge. I looked down at the water below us. Spot stood next to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah."
He took my hand. I felt the heat go to my cheeks.
"I love you." He whispers.
"You know I love you Spot."
He looked at me for a moment with his blue eyes.
"Are you ready to go?"He asked.
"I think so."
"We can walk now if you want."
"That would be nice."
We started to walk. Spot was excited for what ever was happening.
"So where are we going?" I asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you? It's a secret?" He joked.
I felt him squeeze my hand. I smiled. I loved Spot, I really did. I felt as if I was being torn apart by this love triangle...
"How much longer is this going to be?" I asked.
"As long as it takes."
I rolled my eyes.
"Don't worry we're almost there." He said.
We walked until we reached the front gates of Luna Park.
"Remember you said you'd never been to Coney Island?" H asked.
I looked at the front gates in shock.
"Spot, thank you!" I said wrapping my around him.
"No problem."
"Oh your the best!"
We run through the gates like little kids. I'm amazed! There are tall towers with electric lights all over (none of the lights were on because it was day but I saw the bulbs). ! Beautiful streams with gondolas. I could seethe many rides. I can't even believe it!
"What do you want to go on first?" Spot asked.
I looked around.
"That one." I said pointing to a ride.
"Shoot the chutes, okay."
On the ride a boat was taken from a high platform and slid down into the lagoon below it. We ran up to the top of the platform. We were lucky that there weren't any long lines. We rode all the rides, everyone.
"It's getting late I should go." I said.
"No this is when things just start to get good." Spot told me.
"What do you mean?"
"Wait for it..."
Suddenly all of the light turned on! It was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen!
"It's so beautiful..." I said in awe.
Spot wrapped his arms around me and I let him. In that moment everything was right. We were so close our foreheads were touching. I felt my heart pounding. Spot kissed me. It was the most amazing kiss I'd ever had.
"I love you." He said.
I wanted to tell him that I loved him too, I wanted him to hold me. But than I thought of Race...
"Spot... I-"
"Don't say it. Please don't say it."
I see all the hurt in his eyes and I have the worst feeling. He looks like everything had gone wrong. I felt tears coming to my eyes. I tried to blink them away but it wasn't working.
"Spot I'm so sorry... I never meant this for you."
I touched his cheek. He took a shaky breath. I loved him and seeing him like this killed me!
"Maybe we should go..." He said.
I nodded. Spot and I left the park in silence. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to go back to Manhattan. I wanted to stay in Brooklyn with Spot. We went across the bridge and to the boarding house.
"Goodbye..." He said.
"Goodbye."
I ran inside and upstairs. I walked to my bunk.
"I saw you outside with Spot." I herd.
I turned to see Racetrack.
"You love him more than you love me..." He mumbled.
"Race no-"
"I saw the way you acted with him. He needs you." He said.
I saw some sadness in his face.
"He really needs you... Go get him." Race said.
I looked at him in shock. What was this supposed to mean
"Race what-"
"Go." He said "It's whats best for you..."
I stared in disbelief. What should I do? I thought it over for a moment. I hug Racetrack.
"Thank you Race." I said.
I ran out the door and down the street until I finely catch up to Spot.
"Spot!" I called out. "Spot wait!"
He tuned around.
"Spot I love you." I said.
He smiled and and wrapped his arms around me.
"I love you too."
He held me close. Than he pressed his lips to mine. I loved him so much.
"So you want to spend the night?" Spot asked.
"Yeah." I said.
We went to the boarding house in Brooklyn. Spot led me to his room. I sat down on the bed when suddenly I notice something around his neck. It was a string but there was something on the string in his shirt.
"Whats that?" I asked.
"Whats what?"
I got up and took it out from his shirt. It was a key.
"This." I said.
"Thats nothing."
"Well it's obviously something. What does it unlock?"
He shrugged. "You never noticed it?"
I shook my head.
"I wear it all the time." He said.
"It's probably because you hide it like this."
I yawned.
"Getting tired?"
"Yeah."
He gave me some cloths. Then he left the room so that we could both change. I put on the cloths and wait for Spot. He walks through the door.
"Faith can I ask you a question?" Spot said as he closed the door.
"Of course."
"Why me?" Spot asked. "I'll be lucky to live past eighteen or even get a grave stone... You do know you won't give you anything in life."
"Spot this was about who I loved most. Not who was most promising. I love you Spot I told you that. You know that."I said.
He looked at me and smiled. I laid down on Spots bed. He laid there next to me.
"Have I ever told you how pretty you are?" Spot said.
I kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Goodnight." He whispered.
"Goodnight."
