Queen's And King's ~Third book in my Newsies stories

Chapter Six

{A.N- it's all back to Brooklyn's POV btw. That was just for the last chapter}
Blink left to go sell papes, leaving me in the lodge.
I was okay with it.
I liked being alone.
I sat on the top bunk, reading a newspaper as the door creaks open.
I look up, and see Jack.
"Aye, Jack." I say, folding the newspaper.
I climb off the bed and grab my crutches, limping over to him.
"Hey, lil' sis" he smiles, ruffling my hair
"What's up? Why aren't you out sellin'?" I ask
He shrugs
"Needed to talk to my sista'" he replies
"Oh, ok"
We walk out and sit on the fire escape.
We sit there in silence for a few moments.
"So, why'd you really leave Santa Fe?" I ask
"What do you mean? I told you." He answers, confused
"That's not the real reason. I know you, Jack." I say
"Ok, ok." He starts "I felt guilty for leaving you guys. Especially you, because we're the only family each other has."
"You didn't leave me ALL alone," I say "I have Blink."
"I know, but you're my sister. And I missed you" he sighs
I hug him.
"You can go back, ya know. The strikes over, we'll all be fine"
"You would be okay with me leaving?" His tone changes to serious.
I nod.
"If you want to, I'm fine with it."
He nods too.
"Okay."
I smile.
"Hey, Brooklyn, I love you, you'll always be my little sister. No matter what."
I smile.
"I love you too."
