"Goodnight," he smirked with his charming smile.

"Goodnight," I returned his gesture with a fake smile. He leans forward, but I back away. He gets the hint and leans backwards clearing his throat. "Bye," I spoke as I slipped into my appartment. I closed the door behind me and made my way to my bedroom, passing my mother in the process.

"Hey, (Y/N), how was your date with Jeffrey?" she asked as I pass.

"Oh, it was okay," I responded eager to finish this conversation.

"He's such a gentleman. I was so happy when he asked you to go with him and leave that good for nothing newsie," she remarks adding a bit of anger towards the end.

"Do you mean Jack?" I responded.

"Yes." she adds, "Jack-"

"Well, it's getting late. I'm going to bed. Goodnight," I cut my mother off. I sit down on my bed and lay down not wanting to do anything else.

I exhale a breath I was holding in and stared out the window. I can't stand it when my mother talks about Jeffrey so highly and Jack as if he is nothing. Jeffrey is perfect in everythingone's eyes. He is sensible and so incredible. All of the girls are jealous. It's like I couldn't ask for anything better. He's close to my mother and talks business with my father. He's the boy everyone loves. All the boys want to be him and all the girls want to have him. I was one of those girls until I met Jack. With Jack, everything was perfect. He was- and still is- perfect to me. I don't care if he's a newsie. He's free, wild, caring, smart, funny, and carefree. We had our ups and downs, but everyone does. I love him more than I thought I ever could love someone. And I miss him. I miss the ups and downs. The kisses in the rain. The sneaking around. Everything. I just wish I could rewind time. I would go back and not let my parents pry us apart. I wouldn't let anyone keep us apart. Jeffrey can't see the smiles I fake and how I'm pushing him away. I just don't feel anything.

The part of this terrible love story is that, he wanted me. He wanted me to stay. He said he loved me. He made me feel as if I'm the only thing important in this world. But I was too stupid to realize I need him. Without him, days just turn into months and time is slurred. With him, each moment was something new and special. This rollercoaster of a relationship is the best thing that has happened to me. And I blew it. My parents found us together and ordered me to leave. They didn't mean just physically. They wanted me to leave his life. Once I was home, the banned me from ever seeing him again because he's a newsie.

I close my eyes as I remember him. The way he looked. They taste of his love. The feeling he gave me. His intoxicating love drove me crazy. I fall deeper into the memory and slowly fall asleep.

....

I walk alongside Kayleigh as she talks on and on about Davey.

"Then he says he overheard me talking to Mush and Kid Blink. He said he really likes me too-"

"Kayleigh," I cut her off. "I've heard this story a million times," I laughed. "Are we almost there?" I ask eager to get to Medda's. The newsies are having a get together with some other newsies and because Kayleigh is dating Davey, she was invited and so was I.

"We are here," Kayleigh announces. We walk in as the smoke and sounds of the newsies hit me in one wave. We walked in and I followed Kayleigh as she walks over to Davey. I sit don next to her and look around not knowing what to do with myself. I look towards the door and see a familiar face walk in. He looks the same as always with the red bandana and cowboy hat. His arm is outsretched holding the hand of another figure. A sillouette came into view of a girl. She has light brown hair that was curled. She is very pretty. He leads her to the table we are sitting at.

"Hey, Jack," Davey says welcoming Jack. "Hey, Sarah," he adds before she mumbles a small 'hello'. I guess he moved on. But I can't blame him. I thought I moved on too when I started seeing Jeffrey, but I guess I didn't. Now, I feel as if I will never move on. They take a seat across from me. they turn to each other and talk. She giggles every now and then. I couldn't take it any longer.

"I- uh I'm gonna- I'm going to the bathroom," I tell kayleigh as I rise from my seat. I walk quickly to the bathroom not bothering to see Jack's reaction. I immediately close the door behind me and sit down as tears stream down my face. I whimper every now and then. I shake my head as if trying to rid myself of these past memories that haunt me every day. I wipe my face upon hearing knocks at the door. I stand up and look in the mirror. My blonde hair is slightly messed up and you could easily tell I have been crying by looking at my brown eyes. I open the door a little and see Kayleigh. I open the door more and let her in.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asks.

"Yeah, yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be okay?" I try to cover it up, but more images of Jack and Sarah appear in my head. My bottom lip quiver and more tears slide down my cheeks. Kayleigh wraps her arms around my and lets me cry in her shoulder. I let it all out and after a bit, I pull away.

"Does he love her?" I ask the question I've been trying to avoid.

"He can't love her more than he loves you. When you left, the expression on his face gave his feelings away," she comforts me. "So don't let him bring you down. We are going to have a good time tonight. It's been ages since your parents last let you out of the house with me," she laughs.

"Okay," I answer simply. I wipe away the tear stains and tidy myself up. We both walk out of the bathroom and back to the table. I sat closer to Kayleigh and listened in on her and Davey's conversations. Soon, Mush came up to me and we start talking about random things. In the corner of my eye, I could see Jack sneaking glances towards me. I laughed along to Mush's jokes and smiled at everything he said.

"Do ya want ta dance?" Mush asks me. I reply with a small 'yes'. (A-N- I don't know if they actually have dances, but just roll with it) Mush leads me to the dance floor as he places one hand on my waist and holds my hand with the other one. I smile as I take each step. I look behind Mush and see Jack walking up to us.

"May I take 'er from hea?" Jack asks Mush. Mush answers with a 'yes' and lets go. He walks away as Jack takes his hand in mine sending electricity through me with each touch already. His hand grips my waist as we take each step. I avoid his gaze, but finally, speak up.

"Where's Sarah?" I ask him.

"She left," he replies.

"Why did she leave?" I pressed further.

"'Cause she didn't want ta be in da same room wit me," he explains.

"Why?"

"'Cause she broke up wit me."

"Why?" I try to hide the smile.

"'Cause she found out something," he informs me.

"What did she find out?"

"That I like someone else," he states. I look up and my eyes meet his in a matter of seconds.

"Who?" I question.

"Just dis goil," he tells me.

"Oh really. Is she pretty?" I play along with his game.

"Goigeous. She has blonde hair and pretty brown eyes," he continues. "I think ya know 'er," he adds.

"Do I?"

"Yeah," he says simply before crashing his lips to mine. I lean my head to the side to deepen the kiss as the butterflies soar and the fireworks go off inside my head. the smallest part of me thought of Jeffrey, but I didn't care. I feel nothing with Jeffrey. And as our lips mold together moving in perfect sync making my knees weak, I couldn't care less. We both pull away to catch our breaths.

"I'm so in love with you," I whisper. "Do you think you could love me again?" I ask with hope in my voice.

"I neva stopped."
