its been a long time since a song has given me chills, like the song i was listening to tonight. YOu might have heard "Where did you go" By Fort Minor. I dont know what made me think of him, perhaps it was beacuse we were really close to the crash site, maybe it was just beacuse today was a day he would have loved.
In November of 2003, a friend of my sisters, who everyone loved was in a very serious accident. It happened about 2 miles from my house. DJ was rushed to the hospital, where he was put in ICU, on life support. On December 1st 2003, they pulled the plug. His girlfriend who was also in the crash, walked away with a scratch on her left arm.
DJ, you were beautiful in everything you did.
You were taken so soon, you had so much to live for.
I know for a fact i am not the only one who misses you.
You were an amazing person all together, an we all miss you . It brings a smile to my face to see when cars still have your memorials on the back window. You touched so many people, god it was hard to let you go. I wish i could have known you better than i did, but what i did know of you, you were one of the sweetest people i have ever met.
*~REST IN PEACE~*

The cold rain poured down on her head, only bringing more pain. She felt the hard brick behind her head, and began to remember where she was. It hadn’t been a dream as she had hoped, it had all really happened. She coughed once and every muscle in her body began to ache. She lifted her hand in great pain to wipe away some of the blood that was still coming from her nose and lip. She began to stand up, but her knees buckled beneath her and she fell again. She knew there was no use trying to get up again so she crawled towards the nearest crate and closed her eyes.
She woke up to the early morning sun of Manhattan. As her eyes adjusted to the light she took in her surroundings, since it had been to dark the night before for her to see much of anything. She was right next to the opening of an alley way, to what she guessed was next to a restaurant because the sweet smell of Peach Cobbler was wafting out into the streets. Using the crate she had slept against, Kleio got to her feet for the first time in almost two days. A voice from behind her startled her and she lost her balance again. She closed her eyes and braced her self for the familiar impact with the unforgiving dirt alley, but no impact came. She opened her eyes to find her self in the arms of a stranger.
“Wow lady, I didn’t mean to scare you, are you okay?” The stranger asked still holding her. Kleio studied his deep brown eyes for a moment, and felt the beating of his heart against her.
“I’m fine, do you mind letting go of me now?” She replied a few moments later
“Oh, yah sorry” The stranger said standing her upright. “Are you sure that you are okay? You don’t look so great.” He said sounding genuinely concerned. At first Kleio didn’t know how to react. Now one had ever talked to her like that, no one had ever showed any inkling that they cared the slightest bit for her. So she responded in the only way she knew how. Anger.
“I told you I am fine. Do I look like I need your help?”
“Well lets see, your bleeding from your nose, you have cuts in bruises all over ya’ body, ya’ can barely stand by ya’ self and from the looks of ya’. You haven’t eatin’ in a few weeks. So yes…. Ya’ do look like you need me help.” He responded quickly, though Kleio could tell that he was taken aback by her anger.
“Didn’t your mom ever tell you not to judge a book by its cover?” Kleio responded.
“I never met me mum. I was just trying to help, if you want me to leave then I will.” The stranger responded looking straight into her eyes. This also startled her. No one had ever respected her enough to look her in the eyes.
“Well I don’t need your help, and I do want you to leave” She said taking a step towards him. As she did her legs went weak and her vision went black, and she fell unconscious into his arms.
~
They were after her again. She ran as fast as she could down the street, but they were faster. “This will teach you to steal from me you no good…” Their voices trailed on as they shoved her into the wall repeatedly and hit her with whatever they could get their hands on. “STOP IT! YOUR HURTING HER!” Kleio heard a familiar voice say. She opened her eyes to see her little brother Stefan running towards where she was being beaten. “Stefan…. No… just run” she tried to yell, but she was in to much pain. She could barely talk at above a whisper. She lay there defenseless as they continued to beat her. Stefan came up and started pounding his fist against their backs. “STOP IT!” he yelled over and over. The biggest of the men turned around and picked Stefan up by his throat and threw him down the alley. Kleio wanted to scream and fight back, but she couldn’t move. One of the other men picked up Stefan by the back of his neck while the bigger man began to punch him in his face and stomach. Stefan tried to fight them off but he was just to small. Kleio knew he wouldn’t be able to take much more. She saw the mans fist raise in the air to deliver one last blow.
She awoke from her nightmare with a scream, and sat bolt upright. The pain came shooting through every muscle in her body, and she screamed again. The door next to the bed she was lying in burst open as the stranger from the alley came bursting into the room. “What’s… wrong” he asked out of breath as he sat down on the bed next to her, and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“It’s none of you business. I told you I didn’t need your help and I meant it. I don’t even know you.” Kleio said angrily to the stranger and tried to get out of the bed. But the pain was to much, she groaned again and laid back down on the cool sheets.
“God your hard headed. Will you just admit your hurt, and lay down before you hurt yourself more!” He exclaimed looking aggravated.
“Why should I listen to you. I don’t know who you are. I have never meet you. I don’t even know where I am.” Kleio yelled growing angrier and angrier by the second.
“Fine you want answers? My name is my business but you can call me Mush. Your in the Newsboys Lodging House in Manhattan. You should trust me because I brought you here to help YOU, and I didn’t just leave you there in that alley way. You should trust me because I caught you back in that alleyway, instead of letting you fall. You should trust me because I sat outside that door for the last 6 hours, just to make sure that you are okay.” This boy, who Kleio now knew was called Mush. She didn’t talk to him again for awhile. She just thought about what he had said. She had only know Mush for less than a day and already he had done more for her than any person in her past.
“Look, I’m sorry I have been so mean..”
“And hardheaded” Mush interrupted her.
“Yeah…. Mean, cross hardheaded, every thing like that. My name is Kleio. I dont know how the hell I got here, or why you care so much. I have only know one person in my life that gave a damn, and I don’t even know if he is still alive. So excuse me if I haven’t been little miss prim and proper.”
“Kleio? Whatja’ mum hate you or some thin‘?” Mush asked with a laugh.
“ Pretty much” Kleio answered. And for the first time in she couldn’t remember how long, she smiled. She didn’t know why either. Her mom threw her and her little brother out on the street when she was 8, and he was only 3, and she didn’t have a single happy memory of her. But it wasn’t her mother that made her smile. It was Mush, something about him, just made her want to smile forever.
“Um… if you don’t mind me asking” Mush said “How’d ya get beat up this bad?”
“it’s a long story” Kleio said looking away at the wall, not wanting Mush to see the pain in her eyes. Not wanting him to see how weak she was. He gently touched her chin and turned her head back toward him.
“I’ve got time” Kleio didn’t know how to respond. It seemed like he really did care. But why?
“Maybe later. I am still kind of tired. Is there any way I can get something to eat?” Kleio asked, the pain in her stomach throbbing.
“Oh yeah, I’ll run over to Tibbys for you. Anything ya’ craving?” Mush asked with a smile.
“As long as its edible.” Kleio answered. Letting a smile come across her own face.
“You should smile more often” Mush said as he was walking out the door “Ya’ look pretty when you do.” And with that he walked out the door.
~
A few minutes later there was a soft knock at the door, and a boy with really curly hair and a nice smile entered Kleio’s room.
“Hey” the boy said “I’m Itey, I live here to. Mush asked us to come check on ya just in case you needed any thin’. “
“No I think I am good for right now, but I appreciate all you guys are doing for me.” Kleio answered, with another smile.
“Okay well if you need anything just yell for me…. I shouldn’t be to far off.” Itey said looking down at the floor. Kleio could tell there was something else that he wanted to say.
“Itey, is there something else you want to say?” Kleio asked, slowly sitting up against the wall so she didn’t feel so helpless just lying in the bed. She winced as she did, because every time she moved the pain was excruciating. Itey saw that she was having troubles and came over to help her sit up.
“Well… there is something else. I have know Mush since he got here, but I have never seen him like this. He sat on the floor outside your room for 6 hours, he didn’t even want to blink because he might not get to you fast enough if you woke up. And when he came downstairs after you did wake up, he didn’t stop smiling. Now don’t get me wrong he is usually all shit’s a giggles anyway, but not like this. This was different. So I just gotta ask” Itey said stopping to see Kleio’s reaction.
She couldn’t help but smile. Someone actually cared about her. She had never felt this before, this feeling of being loved, of being cared about.
“Go ahead Itey, I don’t have anything to hide.” She answered eager to hear what his question would be.
“Did you drug him or something?” Itey asked with a smile and a laugh. Kleio laughed to.
“What’s so funny? Mush asked coming through the door.
Itey turned pink and quickly said “Nothing Mush” and quickly walked out the door. “God that kid is strange.” Mush said with a laugh. Kleio smiled as Mush made his way over to her bed. He sat down next to her and helped her sit up so she could eat. Once she was settled he ran back outside. He came in a few minutes later with a wooden tray with soup, fresh bread and a glass of milk on it. Next to the glass of milk was another empty glass. He sat the tray down across Kleio’s lap and handed her her spoon.
“Soup always makes me feel better when I am sick, I thought it might taste good” he said with a smile. “Oh I almost forgot!” he said and ran back out of the room. About a minute later he came back into the room with one hand behind his back. He sat back down on the bed and placed a single red rose in the empty glass. “Saw this on the way back from Tibbys, and it reminded me of you.” Mush said blushing a little. Kleio smiled and picked up her spoon again. She began to eat and Mush stayed right there with her until she was finished. When her bowl was empty and the last drop of mile was gone Mush took away her tray, but left her rose on the table next to her bed. When he came back upstairs he said “Well, you are probably tired of hanging around in the stuffy old room all day, how bout we go downstairs and you can meet the boys?” Mush said from the doorway. “That sounds great,” Kleio responded “but I cant exactly walk at the moment. You should go and be with your friends though. You are probably tired of waiting on me.” Mush started walking towards her bed, and then pulled off the comforter she was lying under. “Come on,” he said “I’ll carry you.” Kleio didn’t object. She wrapped her arms around his neck and grabbed her legs and carried her downstairs.
~
“Hey Itey, grab my girl a chair would ya?” Mush said as they got the bottom of the stairs.
“Sure thing Mush” Itey said getting up from the table he was sitting at with 5 other Newsies. He grabbed a chair and a stool from behind the front desk and set them up next to his at the table with the rest of the boys. Mush brought Kleio over to the chair and gently set her down in it. Then he sat down on the stool next to her and started to introduce the boys.
“That is Kid Blink’ He said pointing to the blonde of the bunch with a patch on his left eye. “That’s Racetrack, Bumlets, Specs, Spot and Jack.” he said introducing every one else around the table. “Boys this is Kleio.” They all laughed when Mush said her name, which made her smile.
“Um… sweetie, na’ offense or nuttin, but I think you needs a nick name.” Kid Blink said with a smile. “Whatya think boys?”
“Well Mush found her, shouldn’t he be the one to name her?” Spot said.
“She’s not a dog guys!” Mush said looking irritated at his friends stupidity.
“Its okay Mush” Kleio said. “What do you think my name should be?” Kleio said, interested in what he might come up with. Mush thought for a minute and then said
“Flash. That’s gonna be your name.”
“Why Flash?” Itey asked, as interested as I was, even though I tried not to show it.
“I dunno, I just like that name….. You guys got anything better?” Mush said turning a little pink.
“No, I think Flash’ll be fine.” Spot said. “Now lets play some poker.”
Racetrack dealt out the cards to each of the boys and said “So, Flash, you’re the girl that has Mush walking around this place with that stupid smile on his face all night long.” He said with a crooked smile as he lit up a cigar. Flash turned to look at Mush who was now bright pink.
“That’s what they tell me” Flash said with a smile as she winked at Itey.
“Can we just play cards?” Mush asked sounding as embarrassed as he looked.
“Sure” Racetrack said “I’ll be happy to kick your butt now” he said with a smile.
The boys played poker and laughed and told Flash crazy stories about all of their experiences as Newsies. About an hour later Spot decided he should probably head back to Brooklyn. He got up from his seat and gave Flash a hug goodbye. Itey went upstairs a few minutes later, but not without giving Flash a hug before he went. A girl named Sarah came in about a half an hour later and so Jack left to. Bumlets was getting tired and so he went off to bed to. Mush saw that Flash was getting a little sleepy, and so he carried her back up to her room.
Flash thought he was going to go back down and hang out with his friends but he stayed in there with her.
~
“So…. How do you like the boys? Mush asked just trying to make conversation.
“You have some great friends. They are all really nice. Your lucky.” Flash said sitting on the end of the bed. Mush sat down right next to her, and put his arm around her shoulders. She didn’t fight him. She leaned into his shoulder and just sat there. They didn’t talk they just sat there for what felt like an eternity. Suddenly the door swung open and Spot appeared in the doorway. Mush stood up, because he knew something was wrong. Spot came in the room and started mumbling. Mush took him by the shoulders and looked him dead in the eyes “What is it?” Mush asked “Whats wrong?”
“I found him in the street, he was just laying there alone. I didn’t know what to do. I heard the bull coming so I just grabbed him up and ran over here. He’s hurt bad, real bad…” Spot was going to say more but Kid Blink came in right then with a limp body in his arms. Mush took one look at was Kid Blink was carrying and said, put him there on the bed. Spot, go get Klopman, tell him to come quick.
Blink made his way over to the bed and laid the body he was holding down on the bed. Flash screamed. She couldn’t belive what she saw on the bed next to her.
“Do you know who this is?” Mush asked, hearing her scream, and seeing the look of utter horror on her face.
“He….. He is my brother.” Flash said, trying to choke back her tears. “The men who beat me, they took him away, I couldn’t move or I would have helped him. Oh god Mush this can’t be happening… I always told him I would protect him, and now look what hap….” Mush cut her off before she could finish. “Flash this isn’t your fault. Don’t tell yourself that it is.” he saw the tears in her eyes and pulled her close into a hug. “It’ll be okay, I promise you. Klopman will take care of him. He’ll be okay.” Mush didn’t let go, he just held her tight as she wept silently into his shoulder.
Klopman came into her room a few minutes later followed by Kid Blink and Bumlets. “What’s wrong wit’ Flash?” Kid Blink asked when he saw her still crying in Mush arms. “Its her brother” Mush answered. A look of concern came over Klopman’s face as he examined the boy. “C’mon Mush” Bumlets said, “We should get her out of here.
Flash didn’t want to let go of Mush, and so he carried her out of her room. Kid Blink and Bumlets went into the boys bunk first, to make sure all the other boys were decent. About a minute later Jack opened the door and Mush brought Flash over to his bed. “He’ll be okay Flash, I promise.” Mush got up to go back and help Klopman but Flash grabbed his hand. “Please, don’t leave” she said choking back her tears. “Sure thing babe, I’ll stay as long as you want.” Mush said and kissed her on her forehead. He picked her up off his bed, sat down and then sat her down in his lap. “Don’t worry Flash, I’ll never leave ya.” Flash sobbed silently into his chest. She sat there for what seemed like forever, and then her eyes began to get tired, she shut them, and fell asleep in his arms.
~
When Flash woke up it was still dark outside. She felt Mushs arm around her waist, and turned to see him sleeping next to him. She gently lifted up his arm and climbed out of his bed. She looked back down at his sleeping figure and petted his hair softly. “Thank you” she whispered, and got up and limped slowly to the room she had slept in earlier. She slowly opened the door to see Stefan sleeping in the bed. She opened the drawer in the table next to the bed quietly and pulled out a pencil and a piece of paper. On it she wrote
“Dear Mush,
Thank you for all that you have done. I will never forget you. But I don’t belong here, and you don’t need me. I am taking Stefan with me, and maybe one day we will meet again. Thank you for all that you have done, and thank you for helping me find my smile.
~Love
Flash
She then folded her note in half and grabbed the rose he had given her from her bed side table. She stuck the rose in the inside of the note and limped back into the bunks. She laid the note down on the bed next to Mush and kissed his forehead. Tears began to form in her eyes, but she choked them back and walked into Stefan’s room. She knelt down next to the bed and gently began to shake his shoulder. “Stefan, sweetie, come on its time to leave, we need to get out of here.” Stefan slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Kleio’s face. “I missed you” He said in a hushed voice. “I missed you to” Kleio said with a smile. “Now come on its time for us to get out of here.” Most of Kleio’s pain was gone, and so she was able to carry Stefan on her back. She left another note downstairs on Klopman’s desk, thanking all the newsie’s for every thing they had done for her and Stefan. She made her way towards the door and looked back one last time, and whispered a silent
“Goodbye.”
~ THREE WEEKS LATER ~
“EXTRY EXTRY FOUL PLAY EXPECT IN BROOKLYN MANS DEATH” Kleio recognized that voice and made her way towards it. The newsie had his back to her, so she came up behind him and whispered “I missed you” into his ear. He turned around and smiled when he saw her face. “Hey ya Flash, where ya been?” he said with a smile. “I been where I belong Blink, out here on the streets. Just me and Stefan the way its always been.” Flash said looking at the ground. She still felt bad about the way that she just left the newsies like that. They had been great to her and she just walked out on them.
“Wait who’s Stefan?” Blink asked a little confused. “Oh ya I forgot you guys never really got introduced the right way did ya? Stefan is my little brother, the one Spot found.” Kleio said with a smile “Whodja think it was, me boyfriend or something?” Blink laughed and said “Well, the way you broke Mush’s heart they way you did, we kinda figured their was sumbody else wit cha already.” Kleio’s smile faded. “I hut him that bad? Didn’t he get my letter?” Kleio said sadness starting to dwell inside her. “Yah, he got it” Blink said still looking at the ground. “He carries it around everywhere, he doesn’t go anywhere without it. The only time he’s not reading it is when he is selling or eating. And he wouldn’t eat till last week. You hurt him pretty bad Flash, leavin’ the way ya did. He hasn’t been the same sense. Barley ever talks to no ones no more, including me. I have never seen him go so long with out smiling. He’s hurting pretty bad.”
Kleio wanted to throw herself of the Brooklyn bridge at that moment. She never thought he would take it like that. Never thought that she could cause so much pain. She was about to say something when Stefan walked up next to her.
“Why you botherin my sister?” Stefan said taking a step towards Blink. “Shut it Stefan, he’s my friend.” “Oh,” Stefan answered looking defeated. “Nah worries kid” Blink said smiling “I wouldn’t want no stranger hangin round my sis neither. ‘Specialy not one that looked like me.” Blink laughed. Then he looked over to Kleio. “Look Flash, I know you don’t want to stay wit us, but can you at least come back and see the boys. We all miss ya. Maybe it’ll cheer Mush up a lil’, seeing you again.” Kleio smiled and said “Sure Blink I think I owe him that much. But what about your papes? Ain’t you gotta sell today?” Kleio asked, knowing that she would only be costing him money if he took her now. “I only got two papes left, not that big of a deal. Besides, I want ta get ya back before Mush gets back from sellin. It’ll be a nice surprise.” Then he took Kleio’s hand and lead her back to the boarding house, all the time being carefully watched by Stefan. He defiantly didn’t like the idea of Blink holding Kleio’s hand.
When they got back to the boarding house Racetrack and Bumlets were already back and playing some kind of card game in the lobby downstars. They both got up when they saw Kleio come through the door. “FLASH!” Race yelled, “Where you been beautiful?” Race said making his way over to Flash to give her a hug. Bumlets ran upstairs to get the rest of the boys that had already gotten back from their day of sellin. The first one down was Itey. He came right up to her and gave her a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I missed you he whispered into her ear. “I missed you too” Kleio whispered back. Itey smiled and gave her another hug.
“Hey, back it up” Stefan said getting a little irritated at all these strange teenage boys hugging and kissing on his sister. “Cool it Stefan, they are friends. They took care of me, and of you, so show some respect.” Kleio said glaring at her little brother. He was younger than her and he didn’t have the right to be so protective, but he always was. “Wait a minute, is this the lil’ ankle biter Spot found” Itey asked with a smile. “Hey, I am almost 11 years old mista, and I aint appreciate bein called an ankle biter.” Stefan said, horrible offended at what Itey had called him. “You really almost 11? Why aint you come up to my bunk for a while, I should talk to you bought a few things” Itey said. Stefan looked over at Kleio with questioning eyes. You heard him” She said “Go upstairs”. Stefan looked at her for a about a minute longer, and then just shook his head and reluctantly followed after Itey
~
Slowly more and more Newsies came back to the boarding house. Each one giving Flash a hug, welcoming her back, and then joining their game of poker. An hour after Kleio had arrived, there were eight of them laughing and joking and kicking Racetracks butt in poker. But still Mush hadn’t come back. It was starting to get dark, and Blink and Kleio were starting to get worried. “Has he ever been out this late?” Kleio whispered into Blinks ear. “Not that I can remember, he usually sell pretty fast. But don’t get to worried, bad headline.” Kleio looked back at Blink and couldn’t tell by his eyes that he was just as worried as she was.
Just then the door opened and in walked Mush. Kleio breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to give him a hug. He stopped dead in his tracks. “Why the hell is she here?” Mush asked looking a Blink who was standing next to Kleio.
“Mush, cool it man, she came back to see you to…” Mush cut him off. “To break my heart again? To make me cry myself to sleep every night. To make me worried sick that she might be hurt again, that whoever hurt her the first time, might come back and finish the job? I don’t need that again” He said with tears in his eyes. “I don’t need you.” And with that he ran off upstairs.
“I should go” Kleio said turning to Blink, her heart ripped in pieces. “No” Blink said flatly, “he’s got his head on the wrong way, let me go talk to him, try and bring him to his senses”. “No” Kleio answered, “I’ve already caused enough pain, you don’t need me any way.” She turned to leave but Blink grabbed her hand “Yes, we do. Stay down with Race and the others, I’ll fix this.” “Thank you Blink” Kleio said. And then she hugged him and he kissed her on the cheek. “It’ll be okay, I promise.”
Kleio didn’t feel like playing anymore so she sat next to Race with his arm around her and her head on his shoulder. While he played. She had almost fell asleep when the boys decided that it was time to go get some food. As the boys got ready to go to Tibbys, Kleio went upstairs to try and find Itey and Stefan who hadn’t come downstairs yet. She looked in the lobby, in the extra room she had stayed in, and even up on the roof and on the fire escape. Still she couldn’t find them. Her last ditch effort was the check in the boys bunks. Knowing that the boys were probably changing to go to Tibbys, she knocked before she came in. Blink was the one that answered the door. Kleio looked at him with hopeful eyes, wanting to know weather or not he had gotten thought to Mush. Blink looked down at the ground and softly mumbled. “I’m sorry Flash, he wont listen to a word I’ve got to say. I tried every thing but he just wont listen.” Kleio somewhat expected this result and so she said, “You guys go on ahead to Tibbys, let me stay behind and talk to him.” She said trying to force a smile. ’Sure thing Flash. You want me to lock the door just in case he tries to make a quick escape?” Blink said with a laugh. Kleio laughed to, and then they hugged again. Blink kissed her on the cheek like most of the newsies did when they were saying good bye, and rounded up the boys to go out to Tibby’s. Stefan came up to Kleio and asked if it was okay if he went with them, which she agreed to. The less people that were here the easier it would be to talk to Mush.
All the boys filled out of the bunks, but Mush didn’t come. After waiting a minute or two to see if he was just being slow changing, Kleio went into to the bunks. She found him sitting on his bunk with his head in his hands. She walked silently over to his bed and sat down next to him. He looked up and saw it was her, scooted over on the ned and put his head back in his hands. “What do you want?” he asked sourly. “I want to apologize.” Kleio said, scooting back next to him. “I don’t want to hear it” he answered standing up from his bed. “You know what I am gonna tell you something that a great person once told me” Kleio responded getting to her feet as well. “And what is that?” Mush said taking a step towards her “ God your hard headed. Will you just admit your hurt? And let me apologize?” Kleio said with a smile. Mush didn’t smile. “Then let me tell you something someone once told me” Mush said his formally warm eyes that Kleio loved so much no ice cold and angry. “I do want you to leave”. Mush said looking down at the ground. Nothing he could have said could have hurt Kleio more. It was like he had just ripped her heart straight out of her chest. “Look Mush, I am gonna say that I am sorry, and hope you forgive me. I cant think of anything else to do. Its up to you. I know I am not your favorite person right…”
Mush cut her off. “Don’t you get it? it’s the exact opposite of that. You ARE my favorite person. I love you.” Tears began to form in Mush’s eyes and he looked back down at the floor. “Well I did love you.” And with that he walked out the door, down the stairs, and into the dark Manhattan streets. Kleio hated herself. She just sat on his bed and cried. She cried for what seemed like hours. She put her arms around her knees, put her head down and silently balled her eyes out. It seemed like an eternity before anyone came in the room. Blink was the first one to get back from Tibbys.
“Flash, are you okay?” Blink asked running to her side. “ I can’t belive I did this to him” Kleio said, face drenched with her own tears. “I am a monster, how could I hurt him like that? I don’t deserve to live.” She said and put her head back down against her knees. “Hey!” Blink said with a sound of authority in his voice. “Don’t ever let me hear you say that again. You are a great person. Mush is to god damn to hard headed to see that, then it is his own fault. But don’t ever. EVER wish that you were dead. Ever.” Blink said lifting up her chin. Kleio began to ball again. Blink picked her up of Mush’s bed and carried her over to his. He tucked a stray hair back behind her ear and kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry Flash, it’ll get better. I promise.” “How do you know that?” Kleio said still crying “You cant promise that, you don’t know that!” She was beginning to yell. Blink lifted one finger and put it on her lips to quiet her. “Yes I can” he said. He got closer to her, his arms still wrapped around her, and he kissed her. Kleio wanted to fight him off, but she didn’t She just sat there in his arms, and let him kiss her, feeling the warmth of him cover her body. The door opened and Blink turned around. But it was to late. Who ever had come in the door had seen them kissing. Kleio’s vision was still blurred form her tears so she wiped her eyes with her hands, she never expected what she saw. It was Mush. He had another single red rose in his hand. He just stood in the door way and starign back and forth from Blink to Kleio. Then his eyes zeroed in on Blink and he dropped the rose to the floor. He started to make his way towards Blink “You little… You knew how I feel about her, how could you do this to me?” Mush yelled. “Do this to you, do this to you… have you even seen her?” Blink yelled back. “She has been crying her eyes out ever since you left, because you told her you didn’t want her anymore. You need to think about what you have done to her Mush, your not the only one getting hurt here.”
“What the hell Blink, we are supposed to be friends, how the hell can you do this. That is the shittiest excuse you have ever come up with.” Mush yelled. “Cool off Mush” Blink said taking a step towards him. “Cool down?” Mush said “Cool down? Why you little…” Mush threw the first punch. Right to Blinks cheekbone. Blink retaliated and punched him in the nose. Mush felt the blood flowing from his nose and tackled Blink to the floor. They started punching and kicking each other and rolling around on the floor. Kleio tried to pull them apart, but they were to strong. She called downstairs for anyone to come and help. Jack, Bumlets and Itey were the first ones up to the bunks. Jack grabbed Blink while Bumlets and Itey held on to Mush. “LET ME GO” Mush yelled trying to get back at Blink. Itey and Bumlets shoved Mush down to the bed hard. Blink sat on his bed with his hand on his bad eye. Kleio could see the blood coming from beneath the patch, and evidently so did Jack. He took one of the pillowcases off the nearest bed and gave it to Blink to stop the bleeding. Jack stood between the two and tried to get some answers. Kleio felt horrible, not only had she ruined Mush life, but she had just ruined his and Blinks friendship as well. She felt the tears well up in her eyes and she ran out of the bunks.

Kleio jumped out the window onto the fire escape and climbed up to the roof of the Lodging house. The sun was setting over Manhattan and the purplish pink of the evening sky cheered Kleio up a little. But as she sat there on the roof the sun slipped away and the sky turned black. This reminded Kleio of her life. One minute there is a glimmer of beauty, the tiniest hint of hope, but before she knows it it slips away and she is back lonely on the street with no money, no food and a little brother that she is supposed to be taking care of, that most of the time was looking after her. She thought about this past month and how much she had changed. She couldn’t remember a time when she had cried so much in her life. But she could also not remember a time where she had smiled so much. She had never been in this much physical or emotional pain, but she had never felt this much love. It seemed that every thing good in her life, had something that made it worse. She sat there thinking for a long time, probably almost an hour. She was getting ready to go back down, and get Stefan and leave again. She wanted to stay with all her heart, but she knew it would mean breaking to many other peoples hearts. She stood up and stretched out her legs which were still stiff from her beating. She started to walk towards the edge of the roof, when she heard footsteps coming up the fire escape towards her. She backed up towards the other side of the roof, not knowing who was coming up. Mush climb over the edge, and the knot in her stomach instantly loosened. Figuring he was still upset with her she turned her back and watched the stars glimmer in the evening darkness. “Its really beautiful out here” Mush whispered in her ear. She turned around and Mush was right in front of her. She couldn’t help herself. He jumped into his arms. “Oh God Mush I am so sorry” she cried into his should her arms tightly around his neck. “I never meant to hurt you, I thought I would only be a burden if I stayed. I never had some one who has cared for me as much as you, I’m not used to any of this. God I’m..” Mush put his finger on her lips to quiet her. “You’ve got nothing to be sorry about. It was all my fault, I never should have acted the way I did. I mean look at me, in the past day I have yelled at 4 of my best friends, punched a guy who is like a brother to me in his bad eye, and told the goil I love that I didn’t want her no mores. Now, if either of us is messed up, its me.” He said with a smile. That beautiful smile that Kleio loved. Mush saw the tears running down her face and wiped them away with his thumb. Then he put his arms around her waist and hugged her close. They just stood there on the roof, holding each other. The dark clouds from earlier that day where finally over Manhattan, and a steady rain began to fall. Mush pulled Kleio away from him, and they both just looked at each other and laughed. The rain started to pour even harder, but neither one of them wanted to go inside yet. Mush looked straight into Kleio’s eyes and said “Dance wit me Flash, dance wit me.” Kleio thought he was joking and laughed “Where Mush, up here, on the roof.” Mush smiled and said “Yah Flash, right here, dance wit me, right here right now in da rain.” Kleio laughed again and held her hand out for Mush to take. He took it and she put her other hand on his shoulder and they danced. Right there on the roof top in the rain. No music, just him and her swaying back and forth in the rain, holding each other close.
As the rain began to pour even more steadily, Kleio found something she had never found before. Not something that could be bought in a store, or from a vendor on the street, but a feeling in her heart. That feeling was belonging. As she swayed back and forth in the rain in his arms, her head against his chest, she felt at home, like she had finally found where she belonged.
A big crack of thunder roared overhead. The sudden noise scared Kleio and she clung tightly against Mush’s chest. He looked down at her with a smile and they both laughed. “Maybe its time we go inside” Mush said with another smile. “I think so too” Klieo said.
It wasn’t until they got inside of the Lodging house that they realized how wet that they actually were. “Why don’tja go back to da guest bedroom whiles ise find you some dry clothes.” Mush said as he tried to ring some of the water out of his hat. Kleio agreed and walked back towards the extra room next to the stairs. About five minutes later there was a knock at the door, a pause and then Kid Blink walked in.
Kleio didn’t know what to say. She figured that he and Mush had worked out their differences, but when she saw him all she could think about was that kiss. “I brought you some clothes” Blink said motioning toward the pile that he had just laid down on the bed. They both stood there in somewhat of an akward silence, neither one looking up from the floor. “Look…” Blink said finally breaking the silence “ I am not going to stand here and lie to, I need you to know that I do have feelings for you, and that may never change. But Mush is like a brother to me, and he really does love you, and I don’t want to come between that. I am sorry for what I did earlier, sometimes I do stuff before I think, this was one of those times…” He trailed off and looked back down at the floor. Kleio took a few moments to put what she wanted to say in the right words. “Blink you have nothing to be sorry for. I have known you for less than a week, and already you have done more for me than almost any other person in my life. You have treated me like family, and you helped me when I needed it. If anyone has to be sorry its me, for every thing I have caused to go on between you and Mush. Like you said, you guys are like brothers, and I almost broke that up. So pick your head up” She said as she took a step towards him and lifted his chin so that he was looking her straight in the eyes. “Thank you” She said with absolute sincerity. “Thank you” she said again. And then he gave her a hug, and started towards the door. “Hey Blink” Kleio said as he reached out for the doorknob “Yah Flash” Blink answered. “Have you seen Stefan lately? Can never keep track of him anymore” She said with a smile “Yah he is making up his bed in the bunks. Wait… forget that I said that… in fact I was never here.” Blink said with a sly smile, and then walked out the door.
Kleio didn’t think anything of it, and went over to the pile of clothes that Blink had brought to finally change out of her soaking wet ones. There were a pair of long shorts on the top (That must have been Mush’s because he was the only one who had shorts) that looked like they would most likely fit. There was a pair of brown suspenders that she wouldn’t need, but she put them on anyway. Underneath that was a under shirt, and a green button up. Kleio quickly put those on and rolled up the sleeves to keep them from going past her hands. Thinking that was all they had given her she started to walk towards the door when something on the bed caught her eye. It was a small brown package that had been roughly wrapped. On top was a note that said
“You ever leave us again, and we’ll soak yah.”
Race Blink Skittery
Itey Snitch Mush
Dutchy Spot Bumlets Boots
Crutchy Jack Swifty Jake Specs
Anxious to see what was inside, Kleio immediately started tearing away at the paper. What she saw made her want to cry. Not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy. |
