“Okay, I won’t leave just yet.” She allowed Jack’s arms to stay locked around her waist, her hand weaving into his hair. He’d been a little more clingy lately, or perhaps that was simply apart of Katherine’s imagination. She hadn’t always been so touchy feely with the people in her life, not even her family. A few hugs here and there, but that was about it. 

But Jack gave her more than a couple of hugs whenever he saw her. He kissed her, he gave her plenty of cuddles when she needed them most, and he knew how to make any day better. It was impossible not to smile when he was around. 

“You feeling okay, Jack?” She asked softly, working her hand through his locks.

“I signed on for a year.” He admitted rolling on to his back now and putting an arm behind his head, staring up at the celling. “But if things don’t go well I’ll be stuck out there for longer.”

He glanced at her form the corner of his eye, he knew this wasn’t fair to her, but he was almost 19 now. People had almost completely stopped buying papers from him. And he couldn’t get on anywhere else in New York. Most of the bosses were to afraid he’d start another Stroke if they hired him.

She sighed. A whole year without Jack? She knew that she felt her heart break into pieces as she was being told this information, and if Jack had already told his boys, they had to be crushed too. Katherine wished she could come out there with him, but she knew her father would never allow her to chase him like that. It would mean giving up her career for him, and it was blooming now more than ever after the strike articles she wrote for the boys. 

“When do you leave? Do the boys know?”

“Its really good pay. An I get three meals a day. An well… I kinda wanna save up for somethin’ I wanna get you some day.”

He figured she’d understand what he was hinting at, but none of this would matter in the end if she ended up finding someone else while he was gone.

“An I should probably mention the job is in the West. California ta be exact.”

She was clinging to Jack now, not wanting him to move all the way to California, not when he practically promised him to her forever. She knew that he was saving up to buy her a ring, or at least that’s what it seemed like. 

“You always did want to travel out West.” She snuggled into him, kissing his chin. She would certainly miss him if he was going to travel out that far, but what she fear most was him moving on, finding another girl out there that was better for him than Katherine was. “How long will you be gone?”

Jack shook his head slightly his face pressed up against her neck. He’d been putting this off for way to long.

“Theres something I ain’t been tellin’ you, an I’m running outta time.” He admitted letting his hands run the length of her body, scared he might forget it.

“I took a job working for the railroad.”

Katherine pulled away from Jack slightly to look in his eyes. 

“Why didn’t you tell me that?” Now it was Katherine who didn’t want to let go. She knew that if he worked down at the railroads, not only would they be able to see each other less than they already do, but she also knew that it could be dangerous. Accidents happen there all the time, Katherine’s had her fair share of stories of deaths down there. 

“You could get hurt baby, why didn’t you try and find a safer job?”

💪 - over the shoulder. @newsandink

Pick up my muse! 

@newsandink

“Jack!” Katherine squealed with laughter as she was abruptly thrown over the boy’s shoulder. She couldn’t help but squirm to get out of his grip, not liking the fact that she didn’t know why he was picking her up in the first place. 

“What the hell? Put me down!” She had a teasing manner to her voice, but did Jack really have to be so sporadic all the time? 

[writewhatyouknow]

Jack laughed. “Shh ya gonna wake up this whole house. An if the ole man catches you here I’m not gonna get dinner for a week.” He smirked holding on to her tightly, despite his warning to her he didn’t stop his teasing. He got bored in this old cabbin with 20 other guys, learning the same old useless skills every day. He didn’t want to be an apprentice to a shoe maker or a blacksmith. He wanted to be an artist. But sadly they didn’t offer that here, Jack should of been happy he was here, not many boys got opportunities like this. Still, it didn’t mean he liked it.

Katherine tried to hush her laughter, knowing she would feel extremely bad should Jack lose his eating privileges. 

“It’s your fault for suddenly picking me up like this!” She spoke in a softer voice this time, struggling around so she could try and face him but to no avail. She could only talk to the back of his head and hoped he could hear her back there. “What gives anyways?” He still hadn’t answered her curious question of why.

‘ because of reasons. there are reasons! they exist and i don’t want to explain them right now. ’ (for Morris)

Morris’ brows furrowed as he stared down at the redhead. This conversation was already a mess and he had half a mind to just haul her out of his way himself but he could already imagine the crap he’d get for putting his hands on a lady.

“I don’t care about your ‘reasons’, if there are any – fact o’ the matter is, lady, you’ll be gettin’ outta my way if ya know what’s good for ya. Your boyfriend ain’t gonna be here t’ save ya.”

[writewhatyouknow]

Katherine scoffed, almost laughing in Morris’ face - which wouldn’t exactly be the best thing in her situation. Katherine was strong, no doubt, but when pinned against a physically stronger enemy, she couldn’t do much but talk her way out of it, lest she wanted a black eye. 

“As if I need Jack to save me. I can handle myself, without swooping down to physical violence, like some people.” She pointed a sharp glared at him, not acting scared him in the slightest. Katherine was never one to back down from a fight, even when it was good for her.

[writewhatyouknow]

The strike was done and over. They had won. Everyone was together again, safe and sound. But sometimes, in the darkest nights, Jack would wake up with a scream, his face wet with cold sweat and hot tears as he watched Crutchie be dragged away from him - again. Crutchie was safe, Jack knew that for certain. The Refuge was closed and Snyder was imprisoned, but still the memory haunted him, even when he slept next to Katherine, who in the daylight calmed his worst fears. ((~~cowboy-newsie))

@cowboy-newsie

By now, Katherine had almost become accustomed to these nightmares. The two slept together quite often, weather it be Jack sneaking into Katherine’s window to avoid her father’s wrath or Katherine simply not coming home, and instead sleeping at the lodging house. Whatever one of those it may be, it didn’t matter. Neither of those settings stop Jack from having nightmares.

So, when Katherine woke up to his screaming and shaking once more, she already knew what to do. She shook his away, holding his body in her arms as she sat up. “Shh, Jack…” She soothed once he was fully awake. “Refuge again?” At this point in time, Katherine had known the story of when Crutchie was violently dragged away, and that was often what had triggered Jack many times at night.

[cowboy-newsie]

Jack shook in Katherine’s arms, wrapping his own around her and holdig her close as if fearing she would be dragged away from him, too. He hid his face in the side of her neck and nodded, not entirely trusting himself to speak. He couldn’t get it out of his head. Crutchie had yelled for him, yelled for him to help her, yelled for him to save her, and he ran away. He hated himself for it. He had the fear and pain that had burnt in her eyes when he came to see her at the Refuge burnt in his memory, and he couldn’t escape it no matter what he did.

[writewhatyouknow]

She sighed, her hand running through his hair to calm his shaking body. She let him cling onto her, but soon started to move. “Okay. Why don’t I get us some tea, and we can talk about it? Sound good?” She offered, holding his face in her hands.

[cowboy-newsie]

Jack relaxed some as he felt Katherine’s fingers running through his hair, though he tensed as she drew away. He nodded even so, making eye contact with her and covering her hand with his as she held his face. “I, I’ll c-come wit’ ya…” He stuttered out as shook, looking at her determinedly and desperately.

[writewhatyouknow]

“Okay.” She agreed, bringing Jack in for a soft kiss before throwing back the covers, holding Jack’s hand all the way down the stairs. She only let go of him once the two successfully snuck down to the kitchen. She began to boil some water, hoping that it wouldn’t wake her family.

[cowboy-newsie]

Kack ckosed his eyes as Katherine kissed him, feeling some better, but that just came with Katherine’s presence. It remained as she led him down the stairs, holding his hand tightly. Or maybe it was him who was holding her hand tightly… He couldn’t tell anymore. He didn’t think to look around at all the luxury around him. He was so focused on maintaining his composure that he couldn’t, but he was doing well. He stuck close to her when they got to the kitchen, not wanting to give his nightmarss the upper hand, but failing. It was quiet, late… He leaned against a wall in silence, watching Katherine and trying to stay calm even though his heart was hammering in his chest faster and harder than a race horse. He took slow deep breaths, but it didn’t seem to help.

[writewhatyouknow]

Katherine let the water boil slowly as she got out the other items she would need for his tea. Taking a neverous glance over to Jack, Katherine sighed. She set her stuff on the counter, moving to take Jack into her arms. "I'm sorry about all of this, baby. It'll be okay.." Katherine wasn't sure if these nightmares were ever going away, but she hoped and prayed that they did. She didn't mind taking care of Jack, she minded that they hurt him this much.

“Okay, so then tell me; what’s goin’ on in that head of yours?” He purposefully avoided answering her question about Race’s allegiance; he had made a pretty penny on betting against it being front page news, which it indeed should have been. Katherine was one of the best writers he knew, not that he was biased or anything. No, not at all. “Is it your father? I can go beat his head in for real this time, or you can actually tell me what’s buggin’ you so’s I can stop guessin’.”

She shook her head with a breath. “Don’t do that. It is him, but it’s not really anything to worry about. It’s just the common things that are getting me down, ya know?” She ran hand through her hair as she listed them on her fingers. “I’m the oldest daughter, so I have fairly high expectations. He’s no exactly please with my career choice, trying to live independently, my love life…” She faded a little as she looked away from Jack. She knew damn well that none of this should matter to her, but her family’s opinions did always strike her the most.

“What’s he sayin’ about them then?” He asked, reaching a hand out to take her’s. “You know you ain’t gotta live up to no one’s expectations, Ace. You’se just gotta make it through one day at a time.” He stepped closer to her, dropping his voice to a whisper. “An’ I thought you was the only daughter.” He smiled a bit, poking her side, trying to get her to smile with him. “Unless he’s got another army of kids that he ain’t payin’ I don’t know ‘bout.”

[writewhatyouknow]

She chuckled a little, playing batting away his hand. "I'm one of six, Jack." She picked up his hand again, feeling comfort in the first time he did it. "I know all of that somewhere in the back of my mind, And yet I hesitated bring it to the front." She sighed.

[cowboy-newsie]

"You're not using yourself as bait."

Jack looked at Katherine in disbelief. “An’ why tha hell not? If ya think I’s gonna letcha stick ya neck out an’ get hurt, ya wrong, Ace.” He shook his head and rolled his eyes. “Geez.” @writewhatyouknow

[writewhatyouknow]

“Becuase, Jack,” Katherine had a certain edge to her voice. “Then you get hurt and I have to live with the fact that I let you get injured. I’m not going to live with that.” She sighed deeply. Not that she say she wanted to go headfirst into danger - Lord knows she was scared out of her mind. But if it came down to her or Jack, it would never end up being Jack. 

[cowboy-newsie]

Jack rolled his eyes. “Oh, please… I’ll be fine!” He smirked, wrapping his arms around hee waist. “Remembah who ya talkin’ to, won'tcha? I’s tha famous Jack Kelly. They couldn’t touch me if they tried.”

[writewhatyouknow]

She rolled her eyes, put didn’t pull out of his arms. “Do you remember who you’re talking to? It’s your girlfriend, Katherine Pulitzer. And she was you to use less of this,” She moved her hands up to squeeze his biceps, which she only then realized how big they were. “And more of this.” Her hand then moved up to point to his head. “You have to be smart and think about this logically. One of you, who knows how many of them. That’s called a death wish, Jack.”

[cowboy-newsie]

Jack growled with frustration. “Ace, we ain’t got many options at this point! If we don’t do somethin’ soon, we’s gonna be outta options!” He turned to look at her with a frown, making eye contact and resting his arms on hers. “I can’t lose ya, Ace. Ya my woild.”

[writewhatyouknow]

She looked at him with a frown as she shook her head. "No, we'll find a different way, what if we - " Hell if she knew what to do. She thought for a minute. "Why don't we both go down swinging? Then neither of us has to lose the other one." That was the only solution she could propose at the time, and the way she saw it, they'd die together. There were better ways to go, but then Katherine didn't have to live without Jack or vice versa.

I was the master of my fate / I let her steal into my melancholy heart / It’s a nightmare, but it’s one exciting ride / Hearts ablaze, banners high, we go marching into battle / There’s more to see than can ever be seen / Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight / Oh, I just can’t wait to be king / you’ll be rewarded when, at last, I am given my dues / Be prepared for the murkiest scam / It means no worries for the rest of your days / With all this romantic atmosphere, disaster’s in the air / The world, for once, in perfect harmony / Make her see the truth about my past? Impossible / And he saw corruption everywhere except within / But, you never can run from nor hide what you’ve done /  Who is the monster and who is the man? / The world is cruel. The world is wicked / Show them the mercy they don’t find on Earth / I ask for nothing, I can get by. But, I know so many less lucky than I /  This burning desire is turning me to sin / Be mine or you will burn
