Sweetheart threw her arms around Jewel's neck, smiling through her tears.
"I love you too, Jewel. You're the first person who hasn't tried to hurt me or run away from me, and I'm sure that you'll find your sister someday." Sweetheart said in a half-happy, half-sobbing sort of voice. She now has two of the three things that she has desired for as long as she can remember: someplace she belongs and someone who cares for her. Her third desire can be pushed away for now.
"Jewely, how come that in almost every conversation we have, both of us end up crying?" she asked, trying her best to make Jewel laugh and to lighten the mood.

Jewel smiled through her tears as well. She stood up to wipe her tears from her green eyes, as she flipped her long red hair over her shoulders and straightened out her skirt.
"I'm not gonna hurt you or run away from you, Sweetie-bird. I love you much too much to do that." Jewel sighed, hugging Sweetheart.
Jewel began to think in the back of her mind when exactly this happened to her. How she came to the Bronx, got exiled from Brooklyn, and then months later, met this shy, 14 year old girl who completely changed her world around, and became the little sister she never had.
When asked why her and Sweetheart always end up crying after every conversation, Jewel laughed hysterically as she spun Sweetheart around in her arms once before putting her down.
"I don't know, Sweetie-Bird....I guess we just know what we've been through. I'll tell ya something though in all honesty, Sweetheart. I'm glad I have you to keep me sane...otherwise I'd be locked up in a mental hospital, cause all that stuff I went through over the last few months would've drove me crazy." She said.

Sweetheart smiled at Jewel's words. She was glad that she met Jewel on her first day.
"I am glad that I met you when I came to New York. If I hadn't, I probably become so lonely that I would've become bitter and cold." Sweetheart said.
Then, Sweetheart thought of something. "Don't you have any friends like in Manhattan or Queens? Surely, someone would want to be your friend." she said.

Jewel sighed when the subject of her 'friends' came up. The truth was that Jewel didn't know who to consider a true friend to her.
"Well...when I met Mush and Devan in Manhattan...didn't get to know them that well. But I met a nice girl named Anya in Queens, she was great...I even met the old Queens Leader, Prince...when she was still the leader, before Styx took over." She told Sweetheart with a smile.
"I have a lot of friends out in the Bronx though...Lexi, Zoo,...and of course you. So....do you have any siblings or friends?" She asked.

Sweethert thought really hard to remember if she did have any siblings or not. Then, she remembered the night when she was nearly killed by her father.
"I do actually. Or at least I did. I never met him. My father had spilled the beans that night I ran away. He said that he had kicked my brother out just so he wouldn't be a bad influence even though my mother said that Evan - that's my brother's name - would never do anything to hurt me. I don't know if he remembers me or not or if he's even alive. I even snuck into the 'Forbidden Room' as my father had called it. And it turned out to be Evan's old room. I found a sketch that my mother had done of Evan holding me a little while after I was born. I really want to meet him." Sweetheart rambled.
"Jewely, if I ever find my brother, would you like to meet him?" Sweetheart asked.

Jewel's green eyes lit up at the thought of meeting Sweetheart's brother Evan. *Hmmm...an older brother? Nice...that sounds promising.* she thought to herself.
Jewel smiled and giggled "Your older brother? I'd love to meet him one day, Sweetie-Bird. It would be very nice." She said.
"So...How old is this brother of yours anyway, Sweetie?" Jewel asked. "Also...What's he like?" She added.

Sweetheart giggled at Jewel's eagerness.
"I don't know for sure but I think he's seventeen. And he is very handsome from the detail of my mother's sketch. I don't know anything about his personality. But, in the picture, he looked like he loved me a lot." Sweetheart said, tears collecting in her eyes. "I hope that he remembers me, wherever he is. If he never came back to help me, there had to be a good reason." she said.

Jewel sighed and smiled at Sweetheart said about her brother. She was so eager about meeting this brother of Sweetheart's. He sounded like a dream.
"God, Sweetie...I wish I could've seen that sketch of him. I would love to see what he looks like." Jewel said.
Jewel sighed "God.... Finally, if I meet him, and he still remembers you, and we all get along. I want to be his." she said with a smile.

Sweetheart smiled at Jewel's comment.
"I am pretty sure that he'll get along with you. I am pretty surprised that you've never really had friends before. You seem like the type of girl who anyone would want as a friend." Sweetheart said.
"Hey Jewely, what does your sister look like?" she asked randomly.

Jewel tried to think about what Lydia looked like from when she was 14 years old. It was 5 years ago...and it had been a while, but she sighed and finally decided to open her mouth to respond.
"Well, Sweetie... Lydia was about 5'7", with long brown hair and blue eyes. She was very pretty." She said.
Then she reached into the pocket of her skirt, and fished out a small picture. "I always carry this with me...she was 14 years old here, Sweetie. Look for yourself." she said, handing her the photo.

Sweeheart looked at the photo and her eyes widened.
"That was the waitress I met when I went to Tibby's for the first time!" she exclaimed.

Jewel took the picture back from Sweetheart, her green eyes burning with a slight anger, but she dare not show it to Sweetheart.
"You've seen my sister, Sweetie-bird? You've -actually- seen Lydia? Tell me...does she look the same as she does in this picture?" She asked.
Then, something hit her.
"Sweetie-bird...You mean to tell me my sister has been in Manhattan all this time, and I didn't even know her when I was in there. How did I not recognise my own sister?" Jewel asked.

Sweetheart winced slightly at the anger in Jewel's eyes and tone.
"I don't know if she stays in Manhattan, because I've gone back over to Tibby's a couple of times and I haven't seen her. And she looks a little bit older than she does in the picture but they look alike. Jewely, do you not like your sister?"

Jewel sighed and calmed down a bit. She didn't wanna scare Sweetheart. She shouldn't yell at her for nothing just cause she was mad at her sister.
"I'm sorry, Sweetheart. I didn't mean to get angry with you...it's just that nobody bothers to tell me that my snobby little bitch of a sister is living in New York and working as a waitress of all things." She said.
Jewel sighed "Also to answer your question, Sweetie-bird, I've hated my sister eversince the day my parents died, and she abandoned me to leave for other things."
Jewel hugged Sweetheart tightly "If you ever see her again...tell her Julianne says 'things have changed'. Okay? Can you do that for me?" she asked.

Sweetheart nodded.
"Don't worry, Jewel. I'll tell her. If I had known about her being such a bitch, I wouldn't have asked."
