Rosie's POV
"Jacob?" I asked him. He smiles back at me as I wrap my arms wround his neck. "I thought you were dead." I said as happy tears brimmed my eyes from the little reunion. "How are you alive?" I asked still in shock that he is here and standing right in front of me.
"When the fire broke out, I managed to escape throught the window. I thought you died," he tells me.
"How come I haven't seen you around?" I asked. I'm a newsie. If he was living here, I would've known.
"I actually live in Rhode Island. I came here for business." he says. "What have you been doing all this time?" he asked.
"After the fire, I found a girl named Charlie and we became best friends. Then Bell came and we lived on the streets before we became newsies." I explained. "You have to meet them. They are great. And you also have to meet the other newsies. They are like my other brothers. There's one guy, Mush, that I talk a lot to. We are really close-"
"Slow down. Why don't I treat you to dinner and we can talk then." Jacob says and I nod. We linked arms and we started walking to Tibby's. Jacob then started to tell me all about his life back in Rhode Island.
"Wait, so when you arrived at Rhode Island, you married a girl named Elizabeth who already had a daughter named Lydia. And then you had two other kids, Dale and Christopher?" I asked and he nodded. We soon arrived and sat down. I told him all about the newsies and he told me all about his family and Rhode Island. The day flew by and soon we were leaving Tibby's.
"Marie, before you leave, I need to tell you. I'm leaving in two days and I want you to come with me," as soon as he said those words, I stopped walking. Of course I wanted to live with my brother, but I don't want to leave Mus- all my friends. I can't leave hi- them.
"To live with you? In Rhode Island?" I ask.
"Of course," he replied. "Here, you think about it and let me know tomorrow. I'll see you later," he started walking away. I walked back to the lodging house thinking everything over. I just got my brother back and I'm losing him again. What am I going to do?
