chapter 9
Chapter 9
The next morning I am being shaken awake, I hate that and my hand makes contact with something soft, because I had reached behind me with my hand. Jack: Hey, whatcha do that for? I turn over to see Jack rubbing his cheek. Morgan: Oh sorry, are you ok? Jack: Yeah, but you didn't have to smack me. Morgan: I said I was sorry. Jack sighs and then I finally stretch and get up. I look for my clothes of course and I don't say anything. Morgan: Jack about what happened between us, I think we shouldn't tell anyone, besides it wasn't supposed to happen. Jack: I see, so we should just forget what happened? Morgan: Yeah, I mean I can't be in a relationship with someone right now and well last night shouldn't have happened at all. Jack: So that's it? Morgan: Yes. I look at Jack and he looks a little upset, but not too much. I can't even fall in love with any of the newsies, especially if I end up going back to the future. I can't even think of romance, besides it's not fair to any of them. I finish getting dressed and make the bed. I watch Jack as he silently finishes getting dressed and then he watches as I fix the room up. Jack: We should head back to the L.H. Morgan: Ok. We head to the L.H silent without saying anything. I know he's upset, but why? It's not like he actually "Likes" me. Does he? Morgan: Look Jack, just forget what happened and let's just pretend the way we were before ok? Jack: Sure, ok. I look at Jack and we go inside the L.H, it's empty of course, because everyone is out selling, so I head to my room and go in. I close the door and lay on the bed. I end up looking up at the ceiling. Morgan: Damn it. I just lay there to think. I think about the other newsies and how they are doing on selling. I close my eyes and relax. I must have fallen asleep, because when I woke up I heard a lot of noise. I get up and walk out to see that the other newsies have finished selling.Blink: Hey Lit'l Bit wanna play poker with us? Morgan: No thanks. I head up to the roof and end up on a certain part of it. I sit down and bring my legs up and wrap my arms around them and rest my chin down. I close my eyes and I'm thinking about last night. What I'm I doing, there is no way in hell I can even think of Jack. He doesn't even realize where I'm really from. No I can't even think about that. Damn it. I must have been up there along time, because I lost track of time until someone came up and got me. Blink: You still up here? Morgan: Yeah, sorry I must of lost track of time, what time is it? Blink: Oh, it's a little late, come on. I get up and walk where Blink is. I notice most of the newsies are taller than me, the only ones that are smaller than me are a few of them and that's not saying much. Morgan: How was the poker game? Blink: Fine, it was just a poker game; it’s actually starting to get boring. Morgan: So what else do you do for fun? Blink: Not much really. Morgan: Oh. Blink and I go back down and I go to my room and fish out some cards. I start to play solitaire (sp) and I do that on my bed. I just can't wait until morning when I get to sell papes again. I want enough money saved to buy some new clothes, well at least a different shirt and pants at least. I try to get my mind off of what happened with Jack, it's hard and not easy. He so far is the only one I would really want to be with. I can't I can never fall in love with any of them. Impossible I am from the future and if I leave I wouldn't be able to stand it. I play two more games when someone snatches the cards out of my hands and I look to see Jack standing there. Morgan: Hey give them back! Jack: Not until you tell me something. I try to take the cards, but he's taller than me and holds them up so I can't reach them. Morgan: Give them back or else you're gonna be talking with a high voice for the rest of your life! Jack: I just want to know something. Morgan: What? Jack: This. Jack leans in and pulls me into his arms and kisses me passionately now, I'm fighting him and then relax in his arms and respond to the kiss, the kiss is deep and then I do the unthinkable, I actually enjoy it too much of course, but I come to my senses and I break the kiss, I pull out of his arms and look at him. Morgan: Are you crazy? Jack: I knew it. Morgan: Jack, you don't understand, I can't fall in love and I can't be with anybody seriously, how many times do I have to tell you! I take the cards out of his hands and drop them so they land on my bunk and then I run out and head up to the roof. Of course get so mad I start to beat on the far wall with my fists, I'm mad, because I can't fall in love with Jack, because I don't know if I can take it if I have to go back to my time. Morgan: Damn it! I beat the wall until my hands sting and then sit with my knees up and wrap my arms around them. I put my head down and I just sit there, not even caring. I repeat it over and over softly to myself so no one can hear and then I feel something on my shoulder and look up, it's Race. Race: What happened? Morgan: Nothing, just needed to be alone, what are you doing up here? Race: Came to see if you were ok. Morgan: I'm ok, just trying to figure out how to handle some things. Race: Anything I can do? Morgan: I don't know. I get up and walk to the ledge and lean over to look down; it’s not too high so I'm ok. It's not too late so there is activity down below. Morgan: I could go for a drink. Race: To a bar right? Morgan: Yeah. Race: Come on let's go. Morgan: You sure? Race: Yeah, it's not too late and I got some money from betting today. I follow Race down and we start to walk. Morgan: So where is this bar? Race has a big smile on his face. Race: Right here. We stop in front of a bar and I look at him.
Morgan: You old enough to drink in there? Race: Sure, drinking age is only 16. Morgan: Wow. We go in and he finds us a seat. I order a whiskey with lots of ice. (So it gets watered down) and Race orders a whiskey with two ice cubes. Race: So you care to tell me what's bothering you? Morgan: I’d like to but, I can't, all I can say is I can't fall in love with anybody. Race: Why not? Morgan: Because I can't, that's it, ends of story. Race: You can't or you won't? Morgan: Both. Race: Why not? Morgan: I just can't, so please stop asking me about it. Race: Ok, ok. Our drinks get there and I watch as Race takes a drink of his whiskey. I let mine sit and I look around. Morgan: Love isn't something I ever really experienced anyway, so how do I know what it is? Race: I don't know, but I know one thing, ever since you came here and started selling papes it hasn't been the same. Morgan: Is that good or bad? Race: Good. Morgan: Oh. I take a few sips of my whiskey, I should let it get more watered down, but I don't care right now, so I start to drink it faster and then it's gone. I guess I shouldn't have done that, because everything starts to spin. Morgan: uh oh. Race must of known what I was talking about cause I try to get up and everything starts to spin and then I feel myself as I must of fell forward, the next thing I hear is Race. Race: Come on let's go. I look at Race and smile. Morgan: No, I don't want to. Race: its ok, we have to go anyway. Morgan: Ok. Everything is spinning and I feel arms wrapped around me and then close my eyes, I must have been dreaming, because I hear voices like shouting and we must have gotten to the L.H by now. Jack: Where the hell were you two? Race: Took her to a bar, she had just one drink and she must not be able to handle liquor. Jack: What the hell were you thinking Race! Race: Look she was upset about something, how I’m I suppose to know she couldn't handle liquor? Jack: Damn it Race, now we have to get her into the bed. Morgan: No, stop it; I don't need your help. Jack: its ok Morgan, we're just taking off your pants. I start to struggle and then fall forward or something, because I feel hands on me and I'm on my back and I'm looking at the ceiling. Morgan: Can't fall in love, can't love anybody, and can’t feel anything for anybody here in case I have to go back. Jack: What's she talking about? Race: How should I know? Morgan: "It's a fine life carrying the banner through it all, it's a fine life carrying the banner tough and tall, every morning we go where we wishes, we're free as fishes, sure beats washing dishes...... Race: Jack do you know that song? Jack: No, do you? Morgan: "Santé fe, my old friend, I can't spend my whole life hiding... will you keep a candle burning, will you help me find my way.......... you're my chance to break free and who knows when my next one will be....Santé Fe wait for me." Jack: Santé Fe? Race: Those songs. Jack: I know never heard of them before. I keep my eyes closed. Jack: Never give her liquor again Race. Race: I won't. I open my eyes and see them leave and then blackness comes.
