HIII YALLLL this is chapter one and we dont judge. IDK what is happenig in it...

Chapter 1: 2nd To Last day

Jack Kelly was just wanted to go back to his "penthouse" and see the stars, but he saw Kathrine instead. He and Kathrine just started becoming close, but now he wants to hate her but can't after learning that her father is the one and only owner of The World and richest mane in NY, Joseph Pulitzer. The one man who is making life harder for all of the newsies is the father of the girl he thought he loved, and probably still does love her.

When Kathrine was the first thing(or in this case person) that Jack saw, he did not know if his eyes were being blessed or cursed.

"Hey, what are you doin' up here?! And what makes you think you can go through my stuff," Jack decides to stay instead of greeting her.

"I wasn't looking through it. I just...saw it sticking out of this thing. Hey, is this a drawing of the refuge? The place looks terrible," Kathrine says. Jack snatches the drawing right out of her hand and doesn't respond to her question and instead thought it was smarter to start yelling at her and getting his own anger out about her "backstabbing" him.

Then, they continue to fight for a few minutes longer when Jack says, "oh, if you weren’t a girl, you’d be tryin’ to talk with a fist in your mouth!"

Kathrine then puts her fist under his chin and responds, "and if I was a boy, you’d be looking at me through one swollen eye!"

 

"Well don’t let that stop you, give me your best shot. Huh?" Jack moves closer to her pressuring her to punch him. But, instead of punching him, she goes straight to the opposite. Kathrine holds Jack's face and presses her lips against his, leading to a nice and long kiss. Kathrine clearly wanted it but was unsure and Jack was living is best life, but confused. When Kathrine realizes what she had just done, she pulls away from Jack leading to him whimpering a small whine trying to kiss her again but she backs away the slightest bit.

 

Jack didn't really care that she pulled away thought because he could almost sense in her eyes that she wanted to kiss him again, which would make their feelings mutual. So, Jack cups Kathrine's cheeks, and pulls her into a nice, long, passionate kiss. They both clearly enjoyes whatever was happening between them right now, because Kathrine's hands moved into Jack's curly, messy hair and encouraged him to kiss her harder. As expected, Jack did as Kathrine wanted and made the kiss even more fiery than before. 

 

On the other hand though, while they were still kissing, Kathrine's thoughts were overflowing. Mainly about how she was making out with Jack Kelly right now, the guy she loves and her father hates. She couldn't tell if she was mad at herself, for kissing him and enjoying it, or extremely happy about it. 

 

While Kathrine was overflowing her brain, and Jack was clearly having the time of his life kissing the girl he has been hitting on for weeks, Crutchie decided to walk in with Davey at the wrong time, planning to scold Jack for the speech he made while also making sure he was okay. They clearly noticed it was a bad time when they saw their best friend making out with Kathrine right before their eyes. SO, like the best friends they are, they let them enjoy themselves for a minute longer, while watching, beofre making themselves known to the lovebirds.

"Ahem," Crutchie said

"Sorry to interrupt you two having a...wacha' call it," Davey added on.

Jack and Kathrine immediately pulled away from each other.

"Ey' ! What yall' think your doin' up here,"Jack yelled ish.

Kathrine looked physically pained by them walking in so Jack took her by the waist and pulled her into his chest to signal 'its ok'.

"What do ya' think your doin' after you clearly stated you were done with her," Davey added on.

"Ya'll can get out of my business and get out of here"

"Ey' don't get mad at us! We just came to see how you were holdin' up. It was clear you didn't mean anythin' you said out there," Crutchie jumped in.

Jack then remembered what happened earlier and how long he and Kathrine had been up on the balcony. He seemed embarrassed about what he did to the group.

"Look, I'm so sorry brothers. Please forgive me for what I said. I swear I didn't do it for the money. PLEASE," Jack seemed to beg.

Davey and Crutchie both looked at Kathrine to check if what Jack was saying is true. She gave them a slight nod and eyed them in a way that said to forgive him.

"Okay, we forgive you," Davey and Crutchie said in unison.

"We'll tell the otha's to as well," Crutchie adds.

Jack felt relief pass through his body and then noticed how Davey and Crutchie both went in for a handshake. Crutchie used his crutch to push his friend out of the way to make sure he gets Jack's hand first. Davey hip bumped Crutchie to the side in returned and gave Jack a nice smile with both their hands still out. This goes on for about a minute until Davey gives up and lets Crutchie take Jack's hand first. Crutchie does a mentally shown celebration then put his hand back out for Jack. Jack spits his hand then takes Crutchie's hand and then Davey's.

"Thank ya' brothers," Jack says with glee.

The three newsies go in for a group hug and then after 30 seconds, Jack puts his hand around Kathrine's waist and pulls her into the hug. Jack was ready to beat up Pulitzer.

Chapter 2: Night To Morning

Summary:

idk...i suck at summaries ill prob add them when im done with the fic lol.

Notes:

Hi yall I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I am still getting into the whole writing fan fic thing so I appreciate yall.

"Well, we should prob' get goin' so we can get a good nights rest for tomorrow," Crutchie said as they separated from the hug.

"I agree,"Kathrine adds on,"I think we should all get some sleep so we are ready for tomorrow. We don't know what's in store."

"Ok ya'll goodnight.....sleep tight? Is that how it goes? Oh well," Davey says as he and Crutchie go down the balcony stairs back inside.

Jack waves to his newsies brothers, then looks around to make sure that no one else is eavesdropping on him and Kathrine.

"So....do we got somethin' goin' on between us? Cause' I wanna know that you ain't gonna leave me like you get new guys every day," Jack mentions once the coast is clear.

"Yes, obviously."

"Well it ain't obvious to me so..."

Kathrine didn't exactly know how to respond to that one, so instead she just pulled him into a quick kiss then pushed away.
"So...what now are we datin' am I your boyfriend I don't really know how this thin' works," Jack asks.
Kathrine lets out a small chuckle and responds with a simple yes.

"Het, Jack? Since it is getting late do you mind if I stay up here with you so nothing bd happens when I try to get home this dark at night? Cause you know, these New Yorkers are scary," Kathrine asks her new boyfriend of the moment.

Instead of words to respond, Jack just picked up his girlfriend, spun her in the air, then brought her down to the ground were his pillow and blanket is.

"You can take the pillow and blanket, I'm used to all this stuff by now that it shouldn't become a problem," Jack says while slowly standing up.

Kathrine clearly does not agree with this because she immediately pulls him back down to her level saying, "no way, you are gonna stay here cause' neither of us need to get back injuries. By the way, do you have any spare clothes I could borrow so I don't have to sleep in this?" Kathrine gestures to her outfit which does not seem comfortable to walk in, especially sleep in.

"Yeah! I should, come with me to my spot down there so you can choose. We jus' need to be very quiet cause' everyone' prob' asleep by now," Jack offers while standing up and holds out his hand for Kathrine to take.

She takes his hand and stands up, then the lovebirds slowly and very quietly make their way to Jack's clothes. He goes up to his rarely used bed, grabs some comfy PJs and hands them to Kathrine pointing her in a direction for her to change in private.
"Thank you," She whispers to Jack while walking towards the direction given to her.

"It's no problem Kathy," he responds while coming up with a cute nick name for his girlfriend,"meet me back in the balcony when you're done."

Then Jack gets changed himself and returns to his "penthouse" as he calls it. By the time he gets back up there, Kathrine in already laying down waiting for Jack to join her. Jack's cheeks flush at the sight and then look at how amazing she looks in his clothes and decides to complement her on it.

"My Pjs suit you really well Kathy," he says with glee.

Her face flushes in response then pats the spot next to her as a sign that it's time for Jack to join her and sleep. So, he does as she wants and lays down next to her. She moves backwards a bit so they are touching and Jack seems to...get umm har-you know guy issues. He puts his arm over her waist and then they go to sleep.

When morning comes, Jack wakes up to find that Kathrine is still asleep right next to him. For a second, he was concerned about what happened and thought that Kathrine was gonna beat him up when she woke up but then remembered that last night they started dating. The previous night, right before Kathrine went to the "penthouse", she got her friends from two other printing press companies not connected to the world to print many banners for the newsies. She told them to leave all the banners in her apartment room which they did and succeeded because she told them were she kept her spare key.

Kathrine yawns and wakes up then hugs Jack groaning saying that she's tired, but then gets a sudden bolt of energy and tells Jack everything she organized right before she came to hi place the previous night.

Jack was so proud that after all they had gone through there is now a chance to win. Kathrine was still in Jack's clothes so she decided to put on the ones she wore yesterday and get Jack to walk her home quickly so she could change and then they could bring the news to the newsies about the headline/banner.

Kathrine and Jack went to her place so she could get changed and pick up the banners, then they returned to the newsies' living quarters and gave them the update.

"LESSGOOOO,"one of the newsies said and hugged Kathrine when she told them.

They celebrated for a while until Jack mentioned that he should probably go to The World to have a discussion with Mr. Pulitzer. He kissed Kathrine goodbye, waved to all the newsies, grabbed a few papers, then headed out to beat Pulitzer once and for all.
