Misery stared out at the rainy day as she walked up on the platform of the Brooklyn Bridge. Smiling weakly she began to look over the railing and watch as the water rushed through quickly. Lightening began to sound and she felt a peace as the thunder rolled on through the sky like one of the carriages on the ground, today was a perfect day in her opinion. Now If I just had me money. she thought viciously as she picked up a random peble and threw it into the waters below.
Of course she knew it was dangerous, anything she did was dangerous, as she hopped up onto the iron castings of the bridge and held on to one of the steel columns that held it together. Swinging from it she sat herself down on the railing and began to watch as the storm arrived. Her dirty blonde hair swished in the wind finally getting clean with PURE water and not that crap that flowed in dirty rivers.
Gently she held her hand out and touched the raindrops as the fell to earth, Misery for once was smiling. Opening her mouth she began to sing a tiny song.
Dream to Dream, and they say some will stay. You will Go, So Far In my Dreams Until They Come True. Come With me, You will see what I see There's a world Inside No one else will ever see You will Go So far in my dreams, until they come true.
She stopped and looked around as the rain began to pour harder, soaking through her clothes and her hair as she sighed and turned to jump down and head home, "Well I believe I need to be-SHIT!" The rain managed to make the railing slippery and so Misery managed to get the meaning of that term. She was now hanging off the brooklyn bridge, only a couple hundred feet from her death Misery did the only thing she could do, she screamed.

Jinks was back on the Brooklyn bridge, some how this seemed like the safest place for her. She was still deciding if she should join Mike's side or not, right now Mike was winning! She ran her fingers threw her hair the rain started to wash it. The rain was so pure and wasn't polluted like the river.
If only the newsies minds weren’t polluted, she always thought that. It's not that she didn't love her newsies brothers and sisters it's just it gets on her nerves who tries to tell her what to do. It was September and the closest it got to her birthday the better! She'd be fifteen and hopefully Jack and the rest would realize that she wasn't a child.
She then heard singing, it was really good. She looked over to the railing and saw a girl that didn't look much older that Jinks was or she could be the same age.
Dream to Dream, and they say some will stay. You will Go, So Far In my Dreams Until They Come True. Come With me, You will see what I see There's a world Inside No one else will ever see You will Go So far in my dreams, until they come true.
It was a beautiful song, Bravo she thought but didn't say it out loud. She could have scared the girl and make her fall off the side which wouldn't bee good. The storm was almost here and Jinks didn't want to be caught in it so she turned and started walking away back to...where ever she was staying now. Maybe she should join Mike's side.
"Well I believe I need to be-SHIT!"
Jinks quickly turned around to see the girl fall, "Oh man," she said and ran over to the side of the bridge, "Grab my hand quickly," she said to the girl.

Misery heard a girl come rushing up and shout at her for her hand, not thinking twice Misery reached for it but her hand was too slippery from the rain. Shit, shit shit! she thought, death was only a couple feet down from here and she wasn't prepared to die, not just yet. Reaching up once more she blinked away the raindrops and finally managed to get a good grip on the girl's hand as she pulled herself up and was finally over the railing. Breathing suddenly became a whole lot easier for the girl as she coughed and sputtered out her air that was held in the entire time.
Shaking from fright she looked out over the railing at the storm and saw her death, she just barely escaped it. "Damn, well dares sometin' ya don't see every day, a drownin' Newsie." she said laughing about the whole experience. "Well danks for dat, almost lost me life, Misery." she said holding out her hand, "And to what do I owe dis lovely saving?" she asked with a smile on her face. Checking her pockets the money was still safe inside her coat and a sigh escaped her lips. "Well at least dat's still dare." she said looking back at the girl who saved her.
"I dunno about you but I could use some place to stay and some food to eat, what about you?" she asked offering her help, "It's da least I's can do for what you did. Dare ain't many people who would stick out dare necks for anuda." she spoke with her brooklyn accent. Pulling her gray cap over her head she laughed, "Ya know I like you, whut's ya name?" she wondered as she began to count how much she made today, just to ensure she had enough to pay for them both. Besides, it wasn't like she wasn't about to repay her for her kindness, that wasn't what Misery was about, if someone did something for her, she would repay them back.

She couldn't get a hold the girls hand since the stupid rain had to be wet! Soon she finally got her up safely on the bridge, "Ya okay?" she asked she was never that close to falling off the bridge before, although she almost pushed Jack off...almost.
"Damn, well dares sometin' ya don't see every day, a drownin' Newsie. Well danks for dat, almost lost me life, Misery. And to what do I owe dis lovely saving?" she asked with a smile on her face. Checking her pockets the money was still safe inside her coat and a sigh escaped her lips. "Well at least dat's still dare.
"Well yea! No one is as stupid as I am to sit on the side of the bridge during a storm but it looks like I was wrong." she said, "No problem just in a kind mood today. Ya lucky most newsies wouldn't help another unless they were really close." she explained to Misery. "Ya also lucky for not losing that money," she said "God I'm acting like my mom," she said.
"I dunno about you but I could use some place to stay and some food to eat, what about you? Ya know I like you, whut's ya name?"
"I have a place to stay," she said not saying on where it was, "An I could use a bite to eat I guess," she said "Jinks Ke-" she stopped at Kelly she wasn't about to make the one person that doesn’t have to look out for her, for once, know that she's Jack's little sister. "Jinks," she said, "My name is Jinks. Sometimes people call me a pain but I don’t understand why." she said now going back to her childish self.
