Charlie's POV

We all woke up, got ready, and got our papers, what we usually do. I started to walk away but Jack stopped me.

"Hey, can I sell wit ya today?" he asked.

"Sure." I replied and we left.

We made small talk in between our yells of believable headlines. We soon sold all our papers and started to walk back to the lodging house.

"Wait... Charlie," Jack called when we arrived. I was about to go in before he called, so I turned around and faced him.

"Yes," I replied.

"Can ya meet me at da park again tonight?"

"Okay" I smiled back at him. I turned back around and went into the lodging house to see mostly everyone was already done.

I think I like Jack. And I think he likes me. But I still really like Race. And I don't want to hurt Jack. Maybe I should just forget about my feelings about Race. I know he doesn't feel the same way.

Mabel's POV

I sat next to Spot as we hung our feet over the edge if the dock. We've been spending a lot of time together and I really like him. I just hope he feels the same.

Night came sooner than I wanted it to. We looked up at the stars.

"I wish I knew where my sister is." I said to myself out loud. Spot heard it though.

"I wish if I kissed Mabel right now, she wouldn't run 'way." he said. I smiled. He does feel the same way.

"Do ya think me wish will come true?" he asked.

"I don't know. You'll never know unless you try." we met gazes and he leaned in. I met him halfway and our lips touched. Butterflies roamed in my stomach and fireworks went off in my head. He turned his head to deepen the kiss as my hands found their way on his neck. He wrapped his hands around my waist and brought me closer. I never wanted it too end. But all good things must end. We slowly pulled away to catch our breathes. We smiled at each other with our noses still touching. My hands fell from around his neck as we pulled away. He let go of my waist and we continued looking at the sky. I laid my head on his shoulder while he wraps his arm around my shoulders. I never want this to end. I never want us to end.

Charlie's POV

I slowly crept out of the lodging house and made my way to the park. I sat down on the same bench we sat on last time. I saw a figure come towards me. It was Jack. He sat next to me as silence filled the park.

"Why did you want to meet me here?" I asked.

"Did dat kiss mean anythin' to ya?" I didn't know what to say. Yes? Maybe? No? What if it meant nothing to him? Then I would make a complete fool of myself.

"Did it mean anything to you?" I asked back. I needed to make sure.

"Yeah. It did mean somethin'."

"Yeah." I smiled up at him as he came closer. He pushed a piece of my hair behind my ear as he leaned in again to repeat last night's events. Our lips met and I felt exactly what I felt last time.

Nothing.
