Somewhere // Spot Conlon

Chapter 39

Spot's POV. (A/N: Betcha didn't see that coming. Lol)

"What's your problem, son?" The bartender asks before sliding me over scotch.

"I can't find the girl of my dreams," I frown.

"Cheers to that, boy!" He laughs," Don't let it trouble you."

"I found her, but she left me when I got angry," I sigh letting the alcohol burn while it goes down my throat.

"I know a girl, left her boyfriend after he hit her. She's living with Medda, but I've seen Newsies go into her room and talk to he-" The bartender gets cut off by Ace.

"Spot, ya won't believe who I just found," Ace rushes out," It's Allyson, she's here!"

"What? Where?" I ask looking around.

"Come on! I'll show ya!"

I slam a couple cents down on the counter.

"Good luck, young man."

************

Allyson's POV.

"Allyson," a voice pants out.

I snap around and stare at him," No."

"Please, I'm a mess witout ya. Everything's lost it's color, my heart can't rest. Please, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, and I'll do anything to get you back."

"I don't miss you," his face looks like a just broke his heart," I miss the man I thought you were."

"I can be 'im again. I'll do it, I'll stop drinking."

"Just so in a couple months you can start up again?" I ask.

"You'se can help me stay off it. I would have if ya would have stayed, Al. Don't you realize, you'se is my happiness and what makes me wake up in the morning. I wish ya would have stayed a little longer, I wish I'se was good enough for you. I wish everyone understood, I wish you'd come with me. But I wish I didn't convince ya dat life and love is war," he gets down on one knee and holds my hand," Please, you'se got no idea how sorry I am and how I'd give anything to getcha back."

"Blink would never let me," I sigh.

I want to be with him, the old him.

"He doesn't gotta know, just ya and me," he lightly kisses my hand," Princess, please, I'll never lay a hand on ya like that again. Please, take me back."

I pull him up off his knees," You promise me not to drink anymore."

"I swear."

I cup his face gently and pull his lips down on to mine. My heart starts racing like it always did. I shouldn't be kissing him again, but I never stopped loving him. His arms wrap around my waist and pull me into closer to him. Now, its like everything's right, but the boys will kill me if they see us. I pull away to catch some of my lost breath.

I lace my fingers with his and pull him towards my room," Allez, Spot."
