"Race, what's goin' on? Where 'ave ya been?" Crutchie asked, eyeing the boy with worry. Race ignored him and continued limping to the stairs.
"Race, get back over here. Crutch and I stayed up waitin' for ya, the least you can do is tell us where youse been."
"I'm fine," Race mumbled, not stopping. Jack quickly stepped forward and grabbed the younger boy's arm, not missing the way he tensed up.
"C'mon Race, look at me. What's wrong?"
Race slowly turned around, keeping his eyes down with the brim of his hat casting a shadow across his face. "I just had a run-in with a couple of guys who were lookin' for a fight. I got a little beat up. Really, it's nothin'."
"It's not 'nothing' Race. You're walkin' worse than I do!" Crutchie exclaimed.
Jack grabbed Race's chin and tipped it up and Crutchie gasped. Jack's eyes widened too as he and Crutchie got a glimpse of their brother's face.
Crutchie's face turned red with anger, his hand clenching his crutch tightly. "Who did this to you?"
***
It's a month after the strike, and everything is going great... until it's not.
It starts with small arguments with newsies from the other boroughs, and only gets worse. None of the boys know whats going on, but they're trying to ignore it, until one day something happens that none of them can ignore.
A/N: Sorry about the sucky summary, I'm bad at writing those.

The Possessive Gang Leaders Princess
I sit down on my bike looking around the school parking lot. Listening to music, I stand up begin to walk through the student-less parking lot. Honestly, it's not like I meant to be late. My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child. She still went through them. Her mother blamed her for everything. She would get into Street fights. As in, she would fight in a dark alley with whoever she could. Sounds bad, huh? Wrong. *** Dante Kings is the most feared gang leader across the world. While he does have his fuck and Chuck's, he's been looking for his princess.

Brooklyn Bridge
"Jack why's do I have ta come?" Race questions. "Because Racer, your my second which means you have ta come ta meetings and that includes Brooklyn." It's not that Race didn't like Brooklyn, he loved Brooklyn, he even sold his papers in Brooklyn, but the leader of Brooklyn terrified him in many ways. He was terrified of Spot physically and romantically. Race had seen Spot a few times and saw him during the strike, Race had fallen hard for this Brooklyn boy, but so many things could go wrong if Spot or anyone else found out about it. " Ace! Hotshot!" Spot yells. "Be ready by the time Jack Kelly gets here!" Spot yells again. To say the least Spot was nervous, he wasn't nervous of Jack, but he had heard rumors that Jack's second was coming with him. Spot new for a fact that Jack's second was Racetrack Higgins, the boy that Spot lets sell on his turf, the boy that he made laugh in the court room, the boy he had fallen in love with. Of course nobody can know about it, the things that they would do to Spot is the unthinkable. This is also kind of a musical, some of the Newsies will sing songs, some won't. I do not own any Newsie characters except Spike. I do not own any of the songs either. This is A sprace story if you haven't figured that out by now. I try to have two chapters in each week, might be more than that, might be less than that, just depends how my schedule's look. Some chapters are pretty short others are long. There's really no consistency with me. Hope you enjoy it!Complete
Jack Kelly x Reader
A bet, a scheme, and a wonderful love story. One day Race makes a bet with Albert on who Jack likes, and (y/n) reluctantly follows along with his scheme to make him fall in love with her. Will they ever be able to be together, or will (y/n)'s guilt about following along with the scheme ruining their blossoming love? -REVIEWS- "This book was amazing holy sh!t. This captured the friend group but in a modern setting. I will read this again probably (definitely)" -jackkellyshorse "Jack Kelly x Reader is an excellent story in which you can tell the author took their time. The story is a good length and contains a bold story line that will draw you in. Unlike the other stories, the grammar for this book is immaculate. You can tell the author isn't an 11 year old sitting at their school laptop typing this in 1st period. Newsies may not be my favorite story but this fan fiction sure inched it a lot closer to being it." -Reeeellll "wattpad is literally my life since i don't have one. so ive read all the newsies fics so naturally im a harsh critic. this book is amazing. i love it." -arxzie "Oh my god this was so good. You rarely come across an amazing, finished book on Wattpad but that's what this was." -saffire3001Complete
Unscripted (Jack & Crutchie)
I decided I would try my hand at writing the history and "future" of Jack and Crutchie, if they had ended up together, unlike the script states. **Please read the first "chapter" for my author's notes. This is based on the MUSICAL. Not the 1992 movie. (Obviously MANY characters will appear, however, it asks to only list main characters)Complete
Crack the whip|| Newsies
Under editing I follow the storyline of the 2017 Broadway Musical. The strike is over and everything turns out the way they wanted... or not. Snyder managed to escape somehow and together with some familiar faces he's determined to bring down Jack at all costs. (I'm terrible at this... so sorry. If my English isn't really correct, I'm sorry but I'm dyslexic and English isn't my native language.) ⚠️Contains abuse and maybe more that I don't know yet. I ain't gonna warn you in each chapter, because it might take the surprise away.⚠️ This is the first story I really did finish, so I'm actually proud at myself. *Characters are not mine, but Disney's*Complete
This Ain't Just Newsies No More ~ Sprace & Javid
What could possibly make Spot so shaken up he'll hand over Brooklyn? What could make Jack so shaken he'd give up Manhattan? Only one thing: Race and David have been taken. But where? How? Why? But why do they care so much about them? Well, first we need to go back to the beginning. We need to go on their journey with them. From their first meeting, to working side by side in the strike, to growing closer and falling in love, and all the things in between, dealing with the problems their kinds face in the unforgiving world. But the whole thing is bigger than all of them. This isn't a fight for just Newsies anymore--it's a fight for love, family, friends, rights for all, and the fight for the right to exist in a world like this and the right to tell those stories. But can they fight all these fights and finish them Once and for All? (I DON'T OWN NEWSIES. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE MINE. ONLY THE STORY IS MINE.) Please, no slurs, hate, homophobia, etc. in the comment section.Complete
New Kid, New Century • A Newsies Fanfic
It's been over a year since the strike has settled and the newsies haven't had any problems with Pulitzer since. But that's not to say that they didn't all have problems outside of work. Jack and Katherine were unhappy together. They didn't feel the love towards each other that they used to feel. Yet they were too scared to say something to one another. Crutchie wanted for his long-time crush to love him back, although he knew that would never happen. Still, one could dream. Davey and Les's father had been severely injured by an incident at work. He wasn't so lucky this time around and passed away due to blood loss. This drove their mother into a state of insanity, forcing Davey and Les to pack up their things and leave. They now live on the streets with their fellow newsies, struggling to support themselves just like every other newsie. Their lives were still pretty crappy and hopeless, but hey, they were still alive and that was what mattered. Then, a new kid shows up at the gates of The World and sends their lives into chaos once more.Complete

In 1899, two aspiring reporters get caught up in one of the biggest events of their time; a newsboy strike. Eleanor, Ellie, and her friend aim to be more than vaudeville reporters, and when opportunity comes their way, they immediately jump on it. But with the strike comes the leader. Jack Kelly. Ellie finds him both endearing and annoying. Sweet and frustrating. All is well until the strike goes wrong and then he finds out who she truly is. But the newboys and their fellow reporters are resilient. They refuse to quit before they're done, and that strength and courage may save them in the end. And perhaps there is also a chance for love. *I don't own Newsies. All credit goes to Alan Menken and Jack Feldman. I only own Ellie.*Complete
