"Leann Pulitzer, you come here right now!" my dad yelled. I turned around seeing him annoyed and frustrated. "You are my daughter and you will not disgrace your family like that," he continues with his voice a bit quieter. "Now go to your room," he ends pointing in the direction of my room. He recently found out about me befriending the newsies. I started helping them with the strike, too which only caused my father to burst.

I met Jack a while ago when he first started as a newsie. Since then, we've been really good friends. He's nice, sweet, funny, smart, witty, and cute-. 'We're just friends' I think as I trudge to my room. I walked as if my feet were anchors holding me down. I want to be there for the boys, but my father had other plans.

I get to my room and slam my door shut making it obvious I am in my room. I could hear the same slam coming from my father's office. I walk over to my windo and open it. I'm not letting my father stop me. I climb down taking each step very carefully. I safely get down and quickly run to the distrbution center. The boys were crowded around, but being pushed back by officers.

"Hey, Race," I call gaining his attention. I stand next to him and watch wondering what's about to happen.

"Race, just tell me I'm seein' things," I barely hear Spot say. I walk over and see what they were pointing to. It was Jack dressed like a scab. the newsies start screaming out different things. Some saying "What are ya doin'?" and others saying "I'll soak ya". I walk up to the outstretched arms of the police looking at Jack in disbelief.

"Oh, ya wanna talk to him? Here come and talk ta him," Weasel says to him as I walk up. Jack watches me as I make my way towards him.

"What are you doing, Jack? I thought we were in this together?" I ask as he turns away from me.

"Well, thin's change," he replies with a shrug.

"You're right. Things change. People change. You changed. And it only took a night. And to think I-" I ramble, but stop knowing what I was about to say.

"What?" he asks wanting to know what I was about to say.

"Nothing," I shake it off turning away from him. I heard him sigh as I start to walk away.

"Leigh, wait," he says as he grabs my wrist. I rip my arm away not wanting to talk to him anymore.

....

"Where's ya boys, huh, tootsie? Where's the newsies?" Morris says as Oscar comes up to us. I was walking with Davey's girlfriend, Kay, as they came up to us. They push us into an alley. By luck, Davey comes in an starts hitting Morris. Oscar throws me to the ground about to help his brother.

"Stop!" I scream as if it will stop the fighting. Morris punches Davey in the jaw making him stagger back. Oscar grabs Davey and holds him as Morris puts on his brass knuckles. "Stop!" I yell again and again, but they won't listen. Suddenly, Jack runs into the alley. He grabs Morris and turns him around.

"Remember Crutchy?" he says in his face before hitting his head against Morris's. Morris falls to the ground from the contact giving Davey a chance to break free. Jack sends Morris and Oscar unconscious. Davey comes up to us and helps us up. "Leigh," Jack starts.

"Why did ya come back?" I ask.

"I guess I can't be somethin' I ain't."

"What? A scab?" Davey asks.

"No, smart," Jack finishes. "Leigh," he starts again. I turn to him and look into his brown eyes as he looks into my blue eyes. "That's not the only reason I came back," he gives me a small smile.

"What was your other reason?" I ask returning his small gesture.

"You," he answers quickly before crashing his lips into mine. Fireworks go off in my head as butterflies roam in my stomach. He wraps his arms around my waist and I hold onto his neck. each touch gives me goosebumps. Our lips moved in sync making my knees buckle. We pull away upon hearing someone clear there throat. I realize Kay and Davey are still her. I look down feeling my cheeks heat up.

"We'll leave you two alone," Kay tells us sending me a smile. She pulls Davey out of the alley before Jack and I finish what we started.
