Anya watched her. She liked watching people. It gave her an idea of their real personality. She laughed when Jewel said that people get the wrong idea. " Trust me I didn't get the wrong idea "
After a few minutes she had the pizza finished which surprised her. She finished off the water again like a dying fish and set the glass down
" Why did you leave him? " She had been in a relationship back in Russia. It hadn't been the best one but he had made her happy. She hoped that she would eventually have one here but one could never tell. For all she knew she could die a unhappy lonely old lady. She looked out the window still paying attention to Jewel as she talked. She liked hearing about other peoples life's. It was interesting
" I'm sure that he will come looking for you. If he loves you as much as you seem to love him he will be back "

Jewel laughed. This was good. She hadn't laughed so much in such a long time. It felt great to talk with Anya.
"Good, I'm glad you didn't get the wrong idea. You really are beautiful. How are you not an entertainer here or something? You'd light up the stage." she said, touching Anya's hand lightly with a smile, and then quickly removing it for fear of making her uncomfortable.
When Anya asked Jewel why she left Jacob, Jewel's smile faded a bit
"I left him because I had come back here a little under a year ago to try and find my older sister. Her name is Lydia, she's 19 years old. She's been missing since she was 14. So, one night I left Philadelphia to come back here, and just see if she was in New York. So far, I've had no luck." She explained to her.
Jewel smiled again "I sure hope he comes back to me soon. I miss him so much, and I would do anything to have hold him again like he used to." She said, her green eyes sparkling with hope.

Anya looked down at her hand covering hers and pulled it back slightly. " I wouldn't want to be an entertainer " Sure she loved watching the shows and seeing the pretty dresses but she never would have been able to stand in front of a crowd of people. Heck she couldn't even sing so what would be the point.
She listened to Jewel talk about Jacob and smirked " You are lucky. At least you have someone that loves you ". Her thoughts went back to Russia again and she sighed.
" So do you have any family? I have a sister left but she was adopted and I haven't seen her since. " She looked at the clock on the wall and licked her lips. She had just enough time to exchange a few more words with Jewel before she had to get back to lodging house

Jewel nodded as she listened to how Anya said that she didn't wanna be an entertainer. "I understand what you're saying. I guess that's not a job for everyone. I would do it if I wasn't a newsie. But I'm not much for the stage anyway." She said.
Jewel shrugged as she thought about Jacob "Yeah, I guess you can consider me pretty lucky, but I won't feel complete until he's back by my side where he belongs." She sighed in a slightly sad voice.
Jewel sighed when Anya asked her if she had family "Well, my parents died when I was 10, and my older sister Lydia is still alive, but I haven't seen her in 5 years. She ran off the day I was taken away into an Orphanage. I came back here from Philadelphia to try and find her. So far, I've had no luck though." She told Anya.

Anya thought about what she was saying and shook Her head" if you loved him you shouldn't have left him. " she wouldn't have left home if she had had another choice. There hadn't been anything left for her in Russia.
Now that she had finished her food she pulled out one of the cigarettes that she had napped from a guy the other day and rolled it between her fingers slowly. She had never smoked in her life until she had come here. She stood up from the table and looked at jewel.
" I hope he comes back I really do." she waited till jewel stood up and walked outside with her. She was suppose to start selling with prince tomorrow and had no clue what time she was suppose to get up
" so what can ya tell me about selling?" she grabbed a match out of her pocket and lit the cigarette and took a hit breathing it out. Alot of people were confused about the type of person she was. She looked sweet but she could be mean as fire, she looked innocent but had a habit of being a flirt when she was around a guy she liked and she surely didn't look like a smoker

Jewel followed Anya outside of Romano's, and pulled out a cigarette from her own pack. She lit hers as well, and sighed as she took a hit of it.
"You know? I sure hope you're right about Jacob coming to see me soon. I have so much to tell him. I explained almost everything in the letter. When he does, I want you to meet him. He's always been very good at reading people, so he will know that you are a good person." She said.
Jewel thought for a moment when Anya asked her about selling. "Oh, so you're gonna be a newsie? That's beautiful. You'll like Prince..she's nice. As for sellin', take as many papes as you can to make enough money to survive. Also remember this...it is the first rule you are taught as a newsie... 'Headline Don't sell Papes, Newsies sell papes." Jewel explained to her.
