Chapter 4

ALBERTS POV 

Y/Ns breath hitched as she saw the Delancey Brothers. She started to shake as I put a few coins in Race's hands telling him to get the papes while I take her away from them. Just last night Y/N had a terrible night mare about them causing her to sob I couldn't imagine what seeming them in person was doing to her. 

I put my arm around Y/N but she was stiff and scared we turned the corner and she  started crying. I gave her the biggest hug I possibly could I was trying to engulf her and reassure her she was alright. "We won't let anything Happen to you'se Okay Y/N" She gave me a little smile as she hugged me again. I kept my arm around her shoulders as we made our way to the selling spot. 

I showed Y/N how to hand a paper to someone so that if you lied about the headline they wouldn't see it.  Race came up behind us with the papes as he gave Y/N a hug making sure was okay. She grabbed a paper from the bag and yelled her first headline which I would definitely steal in the future. "MASSIVE FIRE HUNDREDS DEAD" many people scurried over to see if a loved one was in the supposed fire Y/N had come up with. 

We finished selling a few hours later and went back to the lodging house to hang out when Mush suggested we go to Tibbys which is what we did. All of the newsies in one big group Y/N was standing next to me and we talked I officially made it my mission to get Y/N to laugh whenever I could. 

We got to Tibbys in no time there were even a few newsies from Brooklyn. Including Spot Colon. Y/N took a seat accross from me next to Race and Jojo. We ordered as much food as we could afford which was not a lot of food. 

Just then Spot Colon came over pulling up a chair. "So who's goilfriend is dis" Spot said pointing to Y/N. "No ones" Y/N said with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Ahh so who are you" "Y/N" she said blatantly. Y/N didn't know to suck up to Spot like the rest of us did which was a dangerous on her part. "Well Y/N I'm da King of Brooklyn and pretty soon you'se is gonna learn to talk to me wit respect" he grabbed Y/N's face so she was looking at him I could see a mix of anger and fear in her eyes. "Get your hands off me" Y/N said clearly ready to hurt him. Out of nowhere Spots face came way too close to hers and it looked like he was going in for a kiss her but Race had stood up Pushing him away from her. Just then every Manhattan Newsie stood up ready to defend Y/N. Spot didn't know what she had been through and it was crazy that people respected this dimwit when he acted so terrible to everyone in sight. 

Jack went up to talk to Spot as the rest of the Manhattan newsies decided to call it a night. In a large group we all left except Jack. 

"I CANT BELIEVE SHE STOOD UP TO SPOT COLON HIMSELF LIKE THAT" said Finch clearly in a bit of awe. "Cause Y/N went all angry on Spot Conlon I say her newsies name should be Heat. We all agreed and went back to talking and laughing until we made it back to the lodging house. Y/N still wasn't sure where everything was because this was her second day so she had to ask Race to show her back to our bedroom. 

After we all got into out bunks Jojo asked "So how was your first day of selling Heat?" It was pretty good except for the one hiccup this morning" She said Race and I knew what she was talking about however Jojo did not so I waved my hands at him like a monster signaling to shut up. I didn't want to take any chances of making Heat upset again. 

"Night Everyone" said Heat
