Four-"#FreeBilly"

Something was different about the note. Spot noticed how the word love was used twice and the word 'us' was written by hand. 

It was again too short for Spot to actually get some information out of it. 

"Spottie" 

Spot groaned as he heard Race shout his name. Before he could turn around two pairs of arms were wrapped around him. 

"What do you have there" He heard what he assumed was Albert asked. 

"Nothing" Spot said, carefully shoving the paper away before looking up at the two boys who still had their arms wrapped around him. 

"Now please let go of me and go be a sickly cute couple on the other side of the table so I can finish my last math problem" Spot said as he shrugged the two boys off. 

"Whatever you say mister king of Brooklyn" Race said, making Spot roll his eyes before he turned back to the last part of his homework. 

Once he was finally finished most of the other boys had already arrived at the table and were making a lot of noise. 

It seemed like they had a dumb conversation about a cyclops of the underworld called Billy or something. Apparently he had gotten a baby. 

Spot really didn't follow it anymore. Just before everyone disappeared to their own classes almost everyone shouted. 

"#FreeBilly" And Spot was just very confused.

(A/N If I feel like it I'm going to write the back story behind this because it's a really stupid thing between a few of my friends)

December started off on a good note as Spot's parents would go away till december 23. 

That would mean that Spot would be home alone for almost the whole month. The presents he got for the christmas game with the newsies were wrapped in 10 layers by now and since last year Race had the bright idea to do 50 layers they all had agreed to not go further than 15 layers.

After Spot had wrapped them in two more layers he decided to go on a walk. As he walked on the corner of the street he saw Race and Albert nearing. 

"Hey Spottie" Race shouted and ran up to him. 

This time he couldn't stop in time, sending the two of them flying to the ground. 

"Race you need to stop doing that" Albert laughed as he pulled Race of Spot. 

"This is the first time that I ever knocked someone over" Race mumbled. 

"What were the two of you doing" Spot asked. 

Race and Albert share a look. "Just taking a walk" Albert said, looking back at Spot. "And you" Race asked. 

"Trying to take a calm walk" Spot said. 

"Alright we need to go on see you monday" 

"See you Monday" Spot said a bit confused but shook it off. 

After walking for about two hours that passed faster than Spot had thought he arrived back home. He was so focused on getting to the door that at first he missed the pink thing aside from the door. When he was about to close the door he saw it and quickly picked the pink rose up. 

He went to his room without locking the door since he was home alone anyways. He opened the note to see that this time it was all written in the perfect handwriting the other notes had first with the word Love and by the last one the word Us. 

'Pink roses stand for 'innocent romantic love, and make a good choice for teen romance or the early phases of a romantic relationship. Pink roses represent a beautiful, fresh love and a pureness of emotion. Running out of things to write, Love. But waiting a little longer to tell for the right moment. Love Us' 

Spot sighed with a small smile on his face. He wanted to know who was sending these roses but knew he had to wait to find out.

Spot was happy it was finally December 20th. 

It was before christmas but since most newsies were going somewhere those other days so here they all were. In a huge circle in Medda's living room. All the presents were laid in the middle of them and a big dice was held by Jack. 

They went over the rules of the game before they started. At one point Crutchie had laying ten presents in front of him but then they had to move in place to the left which gave them all to Elmer. 

After going on for about three hours all the gifts were completely unwrapped. They made sure everyone had two of them before going to watch movies. 

And if Spot didn't feel single enough before he did now. Every couple was cuddling with each other and there he was laying on the side alone. He didn't know when he fell asleep but was woken up by a loud air horn. 

"What the fu–" 

"Spot" At least five boys yelled as someone elses hands were trown on his mouth. 

"What's going on" He asked as soon as the hands were taken away. 

"We just wanted to wake everyone up" Race said. 

Spot looked around to see more boys like Jack, Blink and Albert groaning. Spot searched for his phone as soon as he found it Spot saw that he had missed twenty calls from his mom and dad. 

He quickly pulled a sweater over his shirt before walking towards the front door. 

"I'll be right back" He said as he stepped out the front door ready to call back his parents. He was a bit confused as to why they even had called him, they never did as they went away and only should get back in a few days.
