Sweetheart frowned and shook her head.
"No. All I have is my big brother Shadow and his girlfriend who is my only friend. I am way too shy to really talk with anyone. Especially since people back in Missouri avoided me like I was the Black Death or something." she felt her eyes prickle with tears but she didn't let them fall. She was not weak. Not anymore.

Catty smiled, but then frowned when she saw Sweetheart do the same. She had no idea what would make her so sad all of a sudden.
"So, you're from Missouri? I'm sorry, but I call that state Misery. It's so awful down there. I went there one time, and the people there were just so rude." She said.
"You do NOT deserve to be treated that way. You're too damn cute and too damn sweet." She said.
Catty then smiled when she heard who Sweetheart's friends were. "Your older brother, and his girlfriend? Good god." She said with a small laugh.
"Wait! You said that your brother's girlfriend is your only friend? Did you happen to set them up with each other?" She asked her.

Sweetheart laughed when she heard what Catty called her home state. "I absolutely agree. I hated it. I would get beaten by a rich guy just because I was shy." Sweetheart laughed.
"I was going to set them up, but they immediately clicked when they met so I didn't have to do anything. I approve of them being together." she said. Then she frowned.
"I just wish that at least a newsboy would give me a chance." she mumbled. "It would be a nice change from the younger of the Delancey boys looking at me like a piece of meat."

Catty smiled and then laughed hard at what she said about her brother and his girlfriend. She had seen plenty of couples get set up out of nowhere.
"I guess you would approve of them being together since the girl is your best friend. But, I would love to meet your older brother...just to see him." She said.
Just then Catty bursted out laughing when she heard what Sweetheart said about the Delancey Brothers. She then made a face. She hated those two.
"Those Delancey Brothers suck big time. They look at anything with tits and a pulse....pardon my language Trust me, I should know. They are kinda harsh."
"Don't worry about it though. You will find a guy who will respect you...but you need to also learn not to take any of those guys crap. Do you know how to fight?" She asked Sweetheart.

Sweetheart shook her head at Catty's language. "It's okay. I am getting used to the language." she said.
She shook her head when Catty asked her if she knew how to fight. "No. Even with my abusive father, I don't know how to fight." she then clapped both of her hands over her mouth in horror o revealing the reason she left Missouri.

Catty laughed back when she heard Sweetheart's reaction to her harsh language
"Well, it's good to know that you're used to it....Back in my house, that kind of language is all I hear all day long." She said with a smile.
Just then she heard Sweetheart reveal why she ever left Missouri. Catty looked horrified at that secret. "Your abusive father? Oh sweetie, that's horrible. I don't even have my parents anymore. When I was little, my parents were brutally murdered." She told her, revealing her secret.

Sweetheart went wide-eyed when Catty told her that she lost her parents when she was little. Sweetheart hugged Catty.
"I'm so sorry, Catty. I lost my mother on the eve of my fourth birthday and my father blamed me for her death even though I was asleep when it happened." Sweetheart said, trying to hold back tears.
She pulled away from Catty and looked at a nearby group of Newsies. "So Manhattan Newsgirls don't have their own Lodging House?" she asked, changing the subject.

Catty accepted the hug from Sweetheart. It had been such a long time since anyone had shown her any comfort...and it felt good.
"Thanks so much for that hug, Sweetheart. I definitely needed that." She said, wipoing away tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes.
When the subject changed, Catty sighed in relief. She then smiled faintly at Sweetheart, and opened her mouth to answer her question.
"No...we don't have our own Lodging House. We have to share it with the boys. It's kind of tragic really. The boys are weird here." she said with a laugh.

Sweetheart smiled sadly. "At least you've got more friends than I do. My brother and his girlfriend are the only friends that I ever had. Everyone else back home turned tail and ran when I looked in their general direction." she mumbled softly.

Catty was livid when Sweetheart said that she only had one real friend plus her brother, and that no one really gave her the time of day. It made Catty angry and sad at the same time. She comforted Sweetheart by pulling her into a hug.
"Good God, Sweetie...Where did you and I BOTH go wrong?" She asked her, tears falling from her eyes suddenly.
Catty shook her head "As for friends...I may have a whole house full of guys and girls. But I don't see them much to talk to then. It's kinda sad really." She told her.
"So...since we're on the subject of friends. How close are you with your brother's girlfriend anyway?" Tell me a bit about her." She asked.

Sweetheart smiled when Catty asked about Jewel. "My brother's girlfriend is Jewel Kent. She's like an older sister to me. She was the first person that I met when I ran away after my father nearly killed me on my fourteenth birthday. She used to be from Brooklyn but she got kicked out. It was just this week that I reunited with my brother and I've been here for about two months." Sweetheart said.

Catty looked at Sweetheart as she explained about Jewel. The girl sounded nice, and it was great that she thought of this girl as her older sister type.
"This girl sounds like a very nice girl. But it sounds kinda far-fetched....a Brooklyn girl who got kicked OUT of Brooklyn. That's insane. Those Brooklyn people are fucking crazy...plain and simple." She explained to her.
When the subject of Sweetheart's brother came up, Catty smiled widely. She remembered her own brother, he was brought in for adoption when he was still a baby, and she hadn't seen him since. All she knew is that he lived in Brooklyn.
"So, you have your brother and this girl Jewel, who is his girlfriend. How would you feel if they ever decided to get married. I bet that would be a great thing to read in the papes." She said with a laugh.

Sweetheart laughed. "That would be funny. I would feel really happy for them. All I would ask for is that Jewel makes me the Maid of Honor." she said.
She smiled at Catty. Then, she noticed a boy with a crutch under his right arm. Sweetheart knew he was a cripple and felt bad for him. She always felt bad for crippled people because there were a lot of things in life that they wouldn't get to do.
"Hey Catty?" Sweetheart pointed to the boy with the crutch. "Who's that boy with the crutch?" she asked, hoping not to seem rude.

Catty laughed "I'm sure she definitely would do that for you, Sweetie. She's gonna be a part of your family someday...and that should be fun." She said.
Just then, Catty followed Sweetheart's glance towards a boy with a crutch. She smiled at Sweetheart's enthusiasm about the boy. She looked over at her.
"I don't know who he is...but I do know he lives in my house. I'll talk to him later on for you." She promised Sweetheart.

Sweetheart smiled. Then, she looked up at Catty.
"Catty, I feel really stupid for asking this but who is Jack Kelly?" Sweetheart asked, feeling really stupid. She didn't know a lot of things around the city and really didn't like it.
