I was walking to Brooklyn to see my best friend Spot Conlon. I waved to the newsies as I passed by. I approached Spot's "throne".
"Heya Spotty." I said waving.
"Hey y/n."
"How's it goin?"
"Pretty good."
"Pretty good, the king of Brooklyn cannot be living pretty good." Spot chuckled a little then winced. As I got closer I could see a bruise on his cheek. "Oh Spot, what happened to ya?" I said concerned. I put my hand on his cheek to get a closer look. Spot put his hand on mine and brought it down. "Just a little fight with some guys, I'm fine."
"You sure you don't want any ice?"
"Yes i'm sure, I'm okay."
"Okay well you would tell me if anything is wrong right Conlon?"
"Of course I would darling." Spot has always called me darling, it's what he does.
"How's your little broad you picked up, what was her name?"
"Emily."
"Oh, Emily. How are you guys doin?"
"Good." He looked a little nervous.
"Just good?" I pried.
"What do you want me to say? That everything is great, everything is grand! That my life is perfect!"
"Okay, I see you are a bit touchy about this subject so maybe I'll go." I said standing up from the crate I was sitting on.
"Hey." Spot called out. I turned around. "I love you darlin." I smiled.
"I love you too Spot." I waved to him and walked away.
The next day I walked down to Brooklyn and a girl approached me. Spot took off his cap and started messing with his hair, his wonderful hair. "Handsome isn't he." She said.
"Yeah." I agreed. I always had a crush on Spot but I knew that he didn't like me back.
"I'm Emily." She smiled and stuck out her hand. Oh no, it was Spot's Emily.
"Oh uh, hi I'm y/n. I'm Spot's best friend." I said shaking her hand.
"Oh yeah, he's mentioned you," I smiled. "Never!" My smile dropped. "Stay away from him y/n! He's mine, we don't need a hoe like you ruining our relationship." This made my angry.
"Excuse me! The only thing that's going to ruin your relationship is you!"
She scoffed then she shoved me.
"Don't shove me!" I said shoving her back.
"Oh it's on!" She said. Suddenly Spot came in-between us pushing us apart.
"Hey you two no shoving." He said holding us apart. I gave her a death glare.
"Y/n I thought you were better than this." Spot gave me a look telling me to back off.
"What! She started it!"
"I don't want to hear it, now it's best if you just go." Emily smiled like she won. I'll find out her plans, even if it's the last thing I'll do. I scoffed and walked away.
I walked into the Manhattan lodge and pouted on my bed. "What's wrong sweetheart?" Race asked wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Does anything about Emily seem off about you?" I asked.
"Emily, I don't think I knows an Emily."
"Spot's broad."
"Oh that Emily. I mean she seems a little territorial, but not anything out of the ordinary for an Emily." I heard a couple of the guys laugh. I didn't budge. "Why? What's wrong with her?" He continued.
"Spot totally chose her over me, he's never chosen a measly broad over our friendship." I pouted.
"That does seem a little unusual."
"And Spot has been getting in a lot of fights lately. Every time I go to see him he always has a new shina on 'is face."
"Maybe she's abusive." Blink said. It all started to make sense now, why Spot never really liked to talk about his relationship with her, or mention me to her. "That does make sense. I gotta help him."
"Now, y/n don't go fixing things that shouldn't be fixed." Jack chimed.
"A girl is beating up on my best friend and abusing him." I said giving Jack a dumbfounded look.
"Ahh, your right, go help him." He said. I got up and ran out of the lodge.
"Spot!" I yelled as I got onto the docks. "Spot!" I saw him hunched over on his throne. He looked up at me and I saw that he had a black eye. "She did this to you didn't she." He nodded slowly. "Come on down, I'll fix you up." He got down and we headed back to the Brooklyn lodge which I was quite familiar with when I used to stay there. "I'm sorry Spot, I should've noticed sooner."
"No, I should have told you, I was just, scared." I grabbed his hand.
"It's okay now, I'm gonna help you out of this." He gave a faint smile towards me.
"That's why yous is my best friend." I smiled and got an ice pack. I gave him the ice pack and he put it on his eye. "Uh, what are you doing?" Emily asked. I turned towards her anger seething through me.
"I'm trying to fix what you did!" I yelled.
"He's fine! He doesn't need help!" She said.
"Clearly he does you abuser!"
"Uh, how dare you! I would never abuse my precious Spotty!"
"That my nickname you whore!" I punched her square in the nose. Her nose started bleeding. She ran out of the lodge, never to be seen again. I turned around and was immediately met with a kiss on my lips. I wanted to deepen it but Spot pulled away. "Thank you darling." I smiled and gave him another kiss on the lips.
