"Yeah,well what if she won't even look at me?" Jack said, "Den what do I do."
"Beg." Race said,climbing the statue to get his hat back.He slid down the old man's knee and started climbing again.

"Don't pay any mind to Race," David said, shaking his head. "Look, Jack, I was there for the last little bit of the argument that night. From what I heard, both of you said some pretty nasty things. And you can bet that Sarah's regretting what she said as much as you're regretting what you said." He sighed. "Just....come back to our apartment with me whenever you're ready to talk to her, and just let her know how you feel."

"I tink I will." Jack said, " Dis feelin' and me ain't natural."
"It makes ya too quiet!" Racetrack said,getting a dirty look from Jack, "what!? It's da truth."
BJ started laughing, Race had been trying to get at his hat for ten minutes now.

Lucky looked at Race climbing the statue and shook her head. "Do you need a little help there?" she asked, knowing full well that he would say no; he'd rather look like a fool trying to get his hat than agree to let a girl get it for him.
David nodded at Jack. "Smart thing to do. Believe me." He turned a little bit and whispered in Lucky's ear. "They've been killing me, I swear. Between Jack moping about on the streets and Sarah moping about at home, things have been pretty depressing lately."

"Nah, I'm fine." Racetrack said,hopping up again and clambering up the old man's knee again. he reached out,his finger tips grazing his hat, he jumped and grabbed it,falling down off the statue and landing on his butt,getting a laugh out of all the Newsies, "Ah shuddup ya bums!" he yelled,shoving his hat on.
"Well,ya tink she'd see me tanight?" Jack asked,he wanted to get it over with and things back to normal as soon as possible. Not only was it messing with his emotions,but his work ethic,he fingered the one paper he hadn't sold in his back pocket.He'd hid it from the others because he was too ashamed for them to see their Leader not get rid of all his papers.
Max came up,having walked from the Bronx to Manhattan and slid down next to Jack ,"Heya Cowboy." he said,giving Jack a slight shove, he pulled his hat off and fanned himself with it.This heat was bugging him,and was glad for the breeze in Manhattan that never showed in The Bronx.

"More than likely; she'll probably be thrilled that you're there, and that you've agreed to talk to her," David told Jack.
Lucky felt sympathetic for Jack. She didn't personally know what it was like to lose someone you loved that much, but she'd seen it happen plenty of times to her friends. She tugged on one of her curls as she tried to imagine getting into a major argument with David, resulting in both of them feeling the way Jack was; she couldn't.

David nodded. "Guess so." He turned to Lucky. "Hey, you're coming, too."
"Why?" she asked, confused.
"Well, for one thing, Sarah wanted to give you a piece of lacework she made the other night, since you'd said you enjoyed that other piece so much. And also if something goes wrong between the two of them I don't want to be the only witness." David smirked at Jack.

Jack laughed, "It ain't like we'd kill each udda." he said, "We wasn't dat mad."
Max had started a card game with Kid Blink,who was scared to do anything wise with Spots older brother.
"Max is too happy.." Racetrack said, "It scares me."
"Me too." BJ said.

Jack followed David to his house,He was so nervous he was surprised he hadn't turned back yet as DAvid opened the door to his apartment.

"I'm home!" David called out, ushering Lucky and Jack in. "Sarah, Lucky's here for that lacework."
"Oh, okay!" Sarah called from her bedroom, and came out moments later with the lace in her hands. "I know you said you liked that last one that I had to sell, so I made this one especially for you...." her voice trailed off when she saw Jack standing there. "Oh. Jack. Hi."
"Thanks for the lacework, Sarah," Lucky said uneasily, taking the lace from her. David gestured towards the kitchen table and they sat down, watching Sarah and Jack, who remained standing.

"Uh, Hi Sarah." Jack said,feeling awkward.He hadn't been here since the fight, "Listen I just..I just wanted ta come by and....well..." he trailed off,not sure how to put it,he couldn't even look Sarah in the face.

Sarah hugged herself and looked down at the floor. "Yeah?"
