Race POV
Ever since I was little I liked to look up at the stars. Somthin' about em' I guess. I've always found em' sorta...calming. I know this is all kinda Mushy but it's the truth. The night Jack found me out on the Streets cryin', he pointed to the sky and said,
"See those, those'll always be with ya, no matter what. You can tell em' anything, and they ain't tellin nobody. It ain't have to be out loud, but they hear ya no matter where you are"
Then,he grabbed my hand and took me to the place that I call my home now. The Manhattan Newsboy lodge is home to a ton of us kids who are tryin' to make a livin' off of sellin' papes. We's a family here, and nobody can take that away from us. And through all of the good and bad times, those stars have been there for me.
Just a few months ago, there was a strike. Pulitzer (the rich old bastard that tried to make us all go broke) raised the price of papes, causin' us all to go on strike. It got pretty bad out there. We got beat up and some of us even went to the refuge. That was probably one of the worst nights of my life. But I still had my family, and the stars...and him.

Fanfiction"In the Stars" is a Sprace (Spot and Race) fan fiction that takes place a few months after the Newsies strike of 1899. All of the Newsies are from the broadway version. There will be swearing!!! I didn't put trigger warnings for that and I'm sorry!
