thank you for the one review that I got. sorry it took so long to update but here are a few more chapters. again I do not own the newsies but i do own my own characters.

Spots POV

The girls eyes started to water and tears formed at the corners. I absolutely hated it when girls cried and I had to resist the urge to wipe a teardrop away that zigzagged down her cheek. I was used to having girls in the bed for the night then waking up and they were gone. I had never pictured myself, the Spot Conlon as a shoulder to lean on. I am the man who can take and throw away all the woman that I want. But she made me feel different. The girl had told me a lot about herself except the most important part, her name. I knew the perfect place for her to go hide out and that was with the newsies. Iknew the Manhattaners would welcome her with opened arms and take really good care of her. I gave her a reassuring nod before speaking.

"Well I'se happen ta have some friends here if you'se need a place ta stay fer a little bit." I smiled at her. She glanced swiftly back at me and smiled back through tears nodding her head slowly. She was so upset that I had to basically carry her. So I gathered her small petite frame in my arms and carried her to the front door. She was extremely light and extremely gorgeous. As soon as we got to the front door I adjusted her to better suit myself. I had a feeling how Jack would react but I was far from concerned.

"Jack!" I yelled kicking the door open, well actually I kicked it a little to hard and it came off its hinges. "Get you'se big ugly mug down here. I'se need ta tawk ta you'se."

It didnt take long for Jack to come running down the stairs. As soon as he saw the girl in my arms and the broken door his jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

"What in da woild did you'se do ta 'er Spot!" Jack yelled a little louder than necessary." What is wrong wit dat dame in you'se arms conlon?"

"Nothin" I glared at him trying my him trying my best to stop my ears from ringing. "
She jes need a place ta stay an' hide until coitin tings blow ova. I'se will be payin fer her lodgin and I'se will bring her meals. Don't you'se dare let her outside and don't eva let da delanceys know dat she is here." I nodded once at Jack before turnign back to the girl. I watched as her eyes shifted nervously from newsie to newsie. I also caught half of the newsies drooling over her but I knew who would be perfect for her and he was in Brooklyn at this moment.

"Well", I began "Since I'se don't know you'se name yet den I'se will see you around again sonnah den you'se tink." I smiled and turned to walk out the door. Suddenly before I could even take a step forward someone grabbed at my arm. I turned quickly ready to knock someones face off but instead found myself face to face with the girl.

"My name is leilana, please don't leave me here with them. I don't know them and I don't want any of them to try to hurt me." She whispered pleading with me to not leave her.

"It's gonna be ok Leilana, you'se can trust dese guys. Dey'se will neva let anything happens ta you'se." I told her pulling her into a reassuring hug. "Dese guys will takes care of you'se." I told her before turning to walk out the door. I honestly didn't feel like answering anymore questions. I was

already ready to kick of my shoes and hop into my bed.

Leilanas POV

I glanced nervously around the room, these boys looked absolutely harmless but I definitely did not want to chance it. Just then that Jack kid started coming towards me. He was looking at me with a weird mix of confusion and excitement. I could tell by the look on his face that he did not think that I was supposed to be there. My suspiscions were were confirmed when he walked towards me slowly he was talking to another newsie with an eyepatch.

"Dat goil don't belong here blink." he began "I'se mean look at her. She is to good looking and clean to be a newsie and to sweet and innocent ta be a whore."

"But Jack you'se hoid what Spot said." The Kid named Blink replied then he loooked my way and hurried off to join the other newsies in a game of poker. Jack on the other hand kept coming my way.

"Hiya da names Kelly, Jack Kelly but you'se can call me Cowboy." He said holdingn out his hand. I eyed him up and down caustiouslu before taking his hand into mine. I did not want to get to close to him. There was something about this jack kelly that I did not like I just couldn't figure it out.

"I'm Leilana." I replied then giggled at the expression on his face. "I'm from Austrailia." I said in an attempt to clear things up for him a little bit.

Jack Kelly or Cowboy whatever you want to call him sat down next to me. He wore a red bandana that was tied around his neck and had an I don't care demeanor to him. He was cute in a weird way and looked to be about seventeen. I had already told Spot part of what was going on and I had no intentions of telling anyone else. I was extremely tired and I just wanted to go to sleep.

"So, uh Leilana, what brings you'se all da way here ta dese poits of town?" Jack looked at me curiously.

"I'm so sorry Jack but I really do not want to talk about it right now. I'm very tired and I just want to go to sleep. But I promise you that I will tell you everything in the morning." I said then yawned and stretched my arms to emphasize my point. Then I glanced around the lodging house, to my disappointment it seemed to be packed with teenage boys.

"You'se gonna have ta get one of me boys ta share wit you'se or give up dere bed." Jack smirked noticing the look onmy face. Jack Kelly had a smirk that was nothing like Spot Conlons. Spot had that cocky smirk that made you want to jump on him and kiss him passionately, but Jacks made you want to slap it right off his face. I got up from the bed I was on and walked around the lodging house. It didn't take me long to find the right bed right by a window. There was a boy sitting in it smoking a cigar. He looked to be around sixteen years old and italian. He was very cute and looked to be an inch or so taller than me. He had short dark brown hair that slightly waved with chocolate brown eyes and spoke with a slight accent. He grinned at me then patted the bed next to him inviting me to sit down next to him. He had an extremely cute grin with crooked teeth that reminded me of my brother who had died in Austrailia. Just by looking at him I felt as if I could tell him anything and everything.

"So me names Racetrack and I'se will make you'se a deal." He said grinning at me.
