Chapter 30

- one week later -

Davey and y/n walk down the street together. They had just finished selling the last of their papes.

"How's Sarah and Katherine?" She asks.

She kicks a pebble, watching it fly across the sidewalk.

"They're real good. Kath comes over a lot. They're cute. You know I still can't believe her dad is Pulitzer." He says in shock; still not able to process it.

"Wait what did you say?" She spat.

He stopped in his tracks and tensed up.

He slowly turns to her.

"You d-didn't know?" He asks timidly.

Her eye twitches and her fists clench.

"Kath is gonna kill me-" he says quietly before being dragged by his tie, to where he assumed was his apartment.

Y/n burst through the door and pushes Davey aside.

Katherine and Sarah are sitting on the couch cuddled under a blanket with cups of hot chocolate in their hands.

"Oh hey y/-" "why didn't you tell me your dad was Pulitzer?!" She interrupts, anger lacing her words.

Katherine shrinks into her chair.

"Davey!" She shouts, glaring at the boy.

"Y/n!" He shouts, face palming.

"Sarah!" Y/n says angrily, giving her the 'why did your girlfriend lie to me?' look.

She shakes her head and looks at Kath.

"Sorry babe this is all you." She kisses her cheek before getting up, taking the mugs to the sink.

Katherine sighs.

"Let's go on the fire escape." She says getting up.

~

Y/n and Kath lean against the fire escape.

"Why did you lie to me?" Y/n asks, breaking the silence.

"I didn't lie to you- I just didn't tell you the whole truth..." she trails off.

Y/n gives her a sarcastic side glance as she shrugs her shoulders.

"We'se been best friends for, how long now? And you didn't think to tell me who you're own father is?" She asks, trying not to sound too betrayed.

"Y/n I'm really sorry. I thought you would hate me-" she admits looking down.

Y/n looks at her and starts laughing.

Katherine looks up confused.

"Kath I could never hate you." She says pulling her in for a hug, which she immediately returns.

"Just lets not keep anymore secrets from each other okay?" Y/n finishes.

Katherine nods. "Okay I promise."

They pull away.

They smile at each other. After a few moments y/n breaks the silence.

"I guess that means that I should tell you-" y/n says nervously.

Katherine raises an eyebrow.

"Ooh do tell!" She mocks a girly tone.

"I think I like... no- I like like-" "hey you girls should probably get in here, it looks like it's gonna rain." Davey cuts her off.

Katherine glares at him.

He raises his hands in defense and walks back inside.

"We'll finish this later." Katherine says sternly.

Y/n chuckles.

"Okay Kath. Hey I think I'm gonna head home." She says.

Katherine nods and crawls through the window.

Y/n sticks her head in and says goodbye.

She makes her way down the stairs.

~

Y/n walks alone on the streets of Manhattan. The only light being the moon and the streetlights.

She kicks a pebble.

"Hey!" She hears a man shout.

This startles her. She looks up to where she heard it.

A rugged, middle aged, man approaches her at a fast pace.

"Youse that goil from the poster!" He shouts, breaking into a sprint.

Y/n panics and runs as fast as she can away from the man.

If only it was fast enough.

- morning -

"Hey any a youse seen y/n?" Crutchie asks frantically.

"I don't think she came home last night." Snitch says, adjusting his suspenders.

"She probably stayed with Dave and Sarah." Jack says, running a finger through his hair.

Crutchie calms a bit.

"Yeah, yeah I guess youse probably right." He says continuing his routine.

~

"WHAT DO YOUSE MEAN SHE DIDNT STAY AT YOUR HOUSE?" Jack yells at Davey, who flinches from his sudden change of mood.

The boys erupt in loud shouting.

They were all gathered in newsies square, by the statue, to try and find out where y/n was.

"She said she was going home last night! Did she not?" Davey shouts back.

They all yell again. A series of "aw come on"s and "are you stupid?"s could be heard from the newsboys.

"No dip shit. Obviously she did not come home- ARE YOU STUPID?" Race yells, tugging his dark wavy hair.

"WELL WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?" Blink yells.

At this point everyone is panicking.

Mush paces. "Oh man oh man what if she's hurt- or worse- what if she's dead?" He says frantically, stopping pacing as soon as he finishes.

"WHAT IF SHES DEAD!" He repeats, grabbing Snipe's shoulders, shaking him violently.

This makes them panic even more.

They start yelling again. Everyone is in pure panic mode.

Suddenly everyone goes silent.

Their gaze shifts over to a figure standing in front of their gathering.

They start whispering to each other; all of them confused.

An ashamed voice calls out over the whispering.

"Hey boys."
