Jack Kelly found twelve-year-old Ella Stanson crouched in an alley looking like Brooklyn. Brooklyn being death. After deciding not to hand her over to the nuns, he takes her home with him to the Manhattan Newsies Lodging House. For two years she remains with the Manhattan Newsies until she decides to strike out on her own. Queens opens their doors for her and it pays off two years later when she becomes the "King of Queens" π. After building her empire, Brookie, as she came to be called, is pretty confident of what she calls her "Queens Empire." But when the prices of papes go up, Brookie is forced to work in close proximity with people who could use her real identity to bring down the "Queens Empire." Will her identity be protected or will it all come tumbling out like the hair in her cap? And what happens if she starts feeling herself going soft for someone she could never be with? Find out in "The Bridge To Brooklyn!"
Sorry, the summary sucks!

Queen of New York (Jack Kelly x Reader)
Y/n is the Queen of New York, or at least that's what everyone calls her. But who wouldn't. She has everything. Great looks, great singing voice, luck with selling papes, and an amazing boyfriend who also happens to be the leader of the Manhattan Newsies, Jack Kelly. But her life isn't all that perfect. She has flaws like the fact that no one knows her true identity. No one knows her past, no one knows why she was in the refuge all those years ago, and certainly no one knows who her father is and she intends to keep it that way. But when a female reporter by the name of Katherine Plummer, shows up following the story of the newsie strike, y/n's secret is on the verge of being shared to everyone, and to make matters worse, it seems Jack isn't the greatest boyfriend ever when he constantly seems to be pinning over Katherine and ditching y/n. Can y/n keep her secret and her boyfriend or will she have to choose one or the other?
