Hearing You (Newsies | Sprace)

Chapter 2

"Race," Spot said running to the boy who was picking a book out of his locker.

"You are?" Race asked closing his locker and facing Spot.

"Spot, I'm Mush's friend," Spot answered.

"Well good for you," Race stated while walking away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Spot called attempting to keep up with Race.

"Why do you care?" Race said stop and turning to face.

"Because of your Mush's brother," Spot said.

"Foster. Foster brother," Race corrected.

"You're still his brother," Spot encouraged.

"No, I'm not I'm his foster brother. Meaning I will be here for a month top and then Mush's family will get rid of me and I'll have to start over again. That's what a foster kid does. A family shows you so much love and pretends they care about you, but then the next day your social service worker shows up and tells you that you are getting moved," Race explained as tears threatened to fall.

"Race, I'm so sorry I didn't know," Spot tried to explain but was cut off by Race.

"Of course you didn't no one ever knows, so please just leave me alone it will be easier in the end," Race said before walking away.

Spot didn't want it to be easy for Race to leave him. Running in front of Race, Spot grabbed his books under one arm and throwing Race who was short than him over his shoulder.

"Spot put me down," Race yelled hitting his fist into Spot's back.

"Not a chance, little man," Spot laughed as they went into an empty science room. Spot placed Race on top of the counter while placing his hands on opposite sides of his so he couldn't escape.

"Spot please just don't pretend that you care because it only makes it harder," Race pleaded.

"Race, I do honestly care about you," Spot exclaimed.

"Spot please ju-" Race started but what cut off as Spot crashed his lips onto Race's.

"Race I love you, and I don't want you talking like no one cares about you because I do," Spot said after he was done kissing Race.

"But you don't car-" once against Race was cut off by Spot kissing him.

"I'm going to kiss you every time you talk bad about yourself," He stated looking into Race's eyes, "I don't care where we are or who is around us."
