You were one of the many performers at Medda Larkin’s theatre. 18 years old is what you told people. 17 years old was the truth. While it was only a year difference it 110% made you more money. Men didn’t wanna see a 17 year old girl that would get them in trouble if she said anything to the wrong person. But an 18 year old who was technically legal in the eyes of the law was a lot better to them. Well all men but one. Jack Kelly, the newsies who could sell some girls a paper or two with his pretty face but couldn’t fase others in the slightest. And sadly for you, you were one of the ones he could get to. Best friends since you were both 12. It was a few days before his birthday when you met each other. He didnt have anyone to celebrate with other then crutchie so you decided to show up when ms. Medda was leaving to see him. She had been like his mom for a while, and she was your mom so that made it a lot more fun to be working for her, a friend who also helped and a mom who supported every single thing you wanted to do in life. That included acting, and because of jack, sometimes selling a paper or two for him by persuading an older guy who already thought you were beautiful. There was…one thing you had never told jack though. When you were 10 your mom had sat you down and told you a reason that you had never met your dad…this guy named Snyder who seemed really mean. It Olay took a few years of knowing jack to know who the man you had to call your father was. The worst man to cross in the area. A man who would lock up kids in horrid conditions for money from the government. They didn’t even truly know what he was doing but you knew it was bad and that made you mad enough. So back when jack and the other newsies staged a strike with the help of your friend Davey and this kind writer Kathrine, who had a similar secret to yours with her dad meting joe Pulitzer the very man you were rallying against you wanted to tell your piece but couldn’t out of fear. After all you and jack had had this will they wont they thing going on for weeks and if he was going to fall in love with you you wanted to show your worth before he found out about your dads job and who he was.
You had just performed the most tiring show ever. You’d had to sing and dance like crazy the entire time and didn’t get not one break. You were gross and sweaty up close but beautiful from afar. You smelled like salt and sweat, but also strawberries and chocolate like the perfume that’s youd sprayed on yourself before you went on stage. “My dear you look so tired!” Your mother said as she walked over and hugged you from behind. “ thanks mom, you did pretty good too with your opener you always do amazing tho!” You responded. She always had a bright smile on. “Oh why thank you kid, oh also, you have a visitor incoming. Said quote ‘yous done a great job at looking beautiful and and cute at the same time.’ Hes on his way over here now i belive” she chuckled at her mimicking of jakc’s accent and way of speaking. “Jack’s here!” You beamed. He had missed your last show because of the strike efforts but now that they had won he was probably gonna be at all of them again. You looked at yourself in the mirror and started fixing your hair and makeup. “I’ll leave you to it! I have things to do anyway.” As ms. Medda walked away you heard a noise at the other door. “I know it’s you Kelly” you said to him while laughing “damn, i was tryin to surprise ya!” “You’re something else Jack Kelly, so what did you think” he chuckled and poked at you with those’d stupid eyes that got you every time “i thought that ya had found a way that made ya look both sexy and beautiful doll” you blushed at his comment.as you did he backed you into the vanity giving you the flirty look you knew by heart. “What do you want jack…” you looked up at him matching the look he’d given you. It felt weird flirting with him now, you had only more recently fallen for him and now here YPU both were pressed against each other in a dressing room that anyone could come into at any time. It was messy as hell, and you loved it. “I just wanna make my favorite doll feel loved ya know?” As he said that he started peppering your neck with kisses as well as grabbing you by your waist and making sure you’re cozy. “You okay princess? I dont wanna do to much? I wanna make sure you’re okay…after all you are my girl.” His voice was calm, too calm for what was going on. “Jack…I…I have to tell you something important” you began. You knew he needed to know. You knew it was wrong to keep such a bug part of your life from him…especially when he hated the man who just happened to be your father. “My dad he….he's not what you think” you continued but were cut off “what a dead beat? Or maybe he’s a more fun guy then I thought—“
“huh? One more time for me doll?”
“Snyder’s my dad…I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before but I don’t know I—“
he kissed you. You could tell he just wanted you to stop talking so fast. When he pulled back he started laughing…? “You thought I couldn’t tell?” He chuckled out. “Sweethart you look just like him but a different shade of skin and a girl..whit massive—“
“personality! Geez I’m not that crazy”
you smiled at him. You always found his stupid banter funny and cute. You stared into his eyes with this loving care before kissing him aggressively while giggling. He gave the same energy back to you .
before long you both were making out but not in an aggressive way, in the way that two star crossed lovers would in a situation where they had only moments left together. It was sweet and loving. Not too much not too little. He was sweet today…usually he’d be all over you and super excited but today he seemed to just want you, and nothing more
