Why is it no one understands me? Everyone treats me like I'm evil...Like I'm a demon... Like I have no heart or feelings.

And frankly, I don't... or at least...I didn't...until I met her...

---

A Spot fic. I know, I know, everyone writes these. I'll try to make it different... fair warning: I do need a girl who will end up w/ Spot and some of the other Newsies...

So...CASTING CALL!

Name:

Nickname:

Personality:

Newsboy of choice:

Second Newsboy of choice:

Okay, that's it. If there's any general questions I missed, uhh... just write them in and answer them.

BTW- This story is written from Spot's point of view...well some of it. Just in case anyone cares:D

Disclaimer- I don't own Newsies, or Spot, or anything really. I don't even own my own room. :sigh:

Spot:

At sunset, after spending a long day selling around Brooklyn, I went down to the docks to relax. I knew no one would bother me there.

I watched the water lap up against the dock's support posts. It was a quiet, soothing sound. I looked into the water and could swear I saw the reflection of Audrey...

The girl I used to love... the one girl I was sure I could keep forever... but then...in an instant, she was gone. Drowned. Dead. Never coming back.

I threw a rock at the water and the picture wavered, then vanished.

I sighed and watched the sun set. I was vaguely aware of the girl who had just sat down next to me. As long as she didn't talk to me, I could ignore her.

"Are you okay?" she asked, concern flooding her voice.

I didn't care about her, I didn't know her, and I wasn't going to make an effort to try to get to know her.

I had turned cold after Audrey's death. I suppose love does that to you. I wouldn't really know.

The girl was talking to me, trying to cheer me up. And I didn't have the nerve to tell her to shove off and go away, so I just stared blankly at the water. Her reflection caught my eyes. She was pretty, and she had a soothing, comforting tone in her voice...kind of like Audrey.

Maybe it is possible for someone who has been hurt by love to love again...?

I know it's short...and it sucks really bad. But if by some weird and highly unlikely chance you like it, please Review. And do the casting call. I reallllyy need a girl for Spot. Or else this story can't go on. :smiles broadly: That actually isn't a bad thing seeing as how this story is so bad. Wow, I really am hard on myself... ah, well. R&R!
