"Fine." Race said

I told them the whole story pulling Race closer. In all honesty the story still scared me. Race made me feel more safe and comfortable.

"Crutchie go ta bed." Race demanded

"Why?" I asked

"Wes need ta talk now." He said clenching his jaw

"See ya y/n." Crutchie said leaving

"Arm." He said turning around

I slowly pulled up my sleeve revealing the word. Race scared me because he just sat there and stared at it. He took my arm and kissed it.

"You ain't no slut. Youse is beautiful. Don't let any one tell Youse otha wise." With every sentence he kissed the word.

"I love ya Race." I said wrapping my  arms around his torso

"I love ya too fox." He said hugging me back

Eventually I was laying down on the roof and Races head was on my chest. We stared at the stars.

A lot of newsies think that Race and I are dating but I didn't have any feelings like that towards him and neither did he. We did try once. It only lasted for about two days. It felt weird kissing my best friend. I know he feels the same way because he was the first to say it was awkward. After that ended we talked and found out that we both didn't want to upset the other by not enjoying being together in that way.

We soon fell asleep.

"Sorry ta interrupt but it's time to go get our papes." Crutchie said

"Ok I'll meet ya down there." Race sighed

"I gotta get to da Bronx. I'll come visit again soon." I said hugging Race

"Bye, ill see you soon." I told Crutchie side hugging him

"Alright, see ya soon." He sighed as I left

I managed to get there as the newsies were just gettin their papes.

"200." I said when I got to the counter

"Comin up." He sighed

I got my papes and walked to a new spot.

"Extra extra several nude corpses found on twelfth street!" I yelled only to have a crowd rush over as usual.

I walked over to Jes and Trucky and hung out with them while these sold their last pape.

"Why 'hatten?" Jes asked on our way back

"Ise got a brudda and a best friend ova der." I said

"So that's were old racy is." Jes said

"Yeah." I sighed

"Help! Please someone please help me!" A voice yelled from an alley near by

I ran over to the voice to see two men cornering one of the younger newsies. I snuck up on them and soaked em.

"Thank you, so much." He said

"Don't mention it. What are ya doin sellin alone?" I asked

"Wes got no leader so technically no younger Newsie is supposed to be in a group." He said

"Well dats about ta change." I said

I walked the little fella back to 'home' I found out that his name was Peaches. They called him this because he was the sweetest Newsies they had ever met.
