Davey (Broadway) pt. 2

Alrighty, yellowwolf56, I promised you a part 2, so that's what I'm going to deliver. I hope this is an excellent conclusion.

When Luna woke up she saw the cracked ceiling of Jack and Crutchie's room. At first she started to panic, fearing that she was dead and in a delusion that was her happy place (A/N: idk, I read about how heaven is really just a picture of happiness your mind puts together when you are one the brink of death. In this case Jack's room is a place of happiness for Luna), but the she turned her head and saw Jack and Katherine slumped in the corner asleep on each other. Crutchie wasn't too far away and he was pressed against his crutch to support him from the air. When Luna turned her head she saw the open window. A small sliver of light shone through proving that it was a few minutes from the circulation bell.
Luna tried to sit up, but her chest felt heavy. When she lifted the small scrap of a blanket she had, she found her chest wrapped in bandages; they went from her hips, to just under her arms, and then around both her shoulders. Luna lifted and arm to examine her face to see if her lip was still swollen. As she did though... She noticed how black and blue her arm looked against her normal pale complexion. Luna shook off the shock and pressed a hand gently to her mouth; the swelling went down immensely and it was now a fairly normal size. She felt another bandage around her head, when she touched it searing pain welcomed her head.
And that's when it all went south. The memories of the past two days hit Luna so hard she could even breath. Tears sprung to her eyes and she let them flow freely down her cheeks. The images of the poor children still in that place were still fresh in her mind, their looks of horror to the way they moaned from pain during the night. All of the guilt she felt from abandoning them and hurt she felt for those children hit her like a freight train.
Luna let out a small sob and Jack stirred and awoke.
"Looney?" He whispered.
She answered with another sob. Jack lay Katherine lightly on the ground and he crawled over to wear Luna lay.
"Looney, hey. Ise glad youse woke up, are youse okay? How did dey get youse? Was it anymore croweded? Are dere still kids arrivin' dere? Are dey even closin' dat stupid place?!" Jack's voice started to grow in volume as his questions grew more and more urgent.
"Jack... Jack... Does kids... Dey... Dey were horrified. Dey'se be moaning from pain during da night. Da guards pretended dat dey'se were deaf, like dey'se couldn't here us... Some of da kids weren't even half ma age. Da looks dey gave me when Ise escaped were so heartbreaking. Ise... Ise just couldn't stay dere any longer... Ise needed ta get out..." More sobs got caught in her throat as she spoke of the horrors and the guilt.
Jack decided to be her ears and listen to her, and when she choked up he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders, brought her into a sitting position, and hugged her close to him as he stroked her hair lovingly and shushed her as she tried to stop crying.
"Where's Davey?" She asked after she had calmed herself.
"Uh, last Ise saw he went up to da roof. Youse want me ta go get 'im?" She meekly shook her head yes. Jack helped her lay back down and moved to go to the window.
As Jack crawled out and onto the fire escape the circulation bell rang throughout the city. Crutchie slowly awoke and continued to make his way to the door and quietly as possible. He opened the door and gave one last longing look at Luna, not knowing she was awake. "Ise surah hope ya wake up tahday Moon... Youse didn't deserve what ya got. Ise sure will make dohs Delancey's pay..." Luna was shocked at how much hate filled those words for Crutchie. He was usually the innocent and adorable kid, but after the refuge during the strike he seemed to carry this chip on his shoulder. Anything to do with the refuge, he turned dark and spiteful.
As the door closed, Katherine got up and looked around for Jack, looked to the window and a knowing look grew in her eyes. Within seconds Jack and Davey climbed back into the room. Katherine got up and threw herself at Jack. He caught her and moved to the door. Luna couldn't see what hand sign he did but it had to be something telling Davey that she was awake.
"Luna... Are you awake?"
"Y-yeah." Luna choked out the sentence.
"That's good." Davey sat on his ankles next to her makeshift bed. He looked at his hands for a second, then he looked at her and started to yell. "Why?! Why did you have to do something as stupid as that?! I could've helped Les?! Why did you have to jump in and try to be the hero?! Luna, you could've died! What would I do then?! You need to stop being so selfless and start being selfish for once!"
Luna was taken aback by this sudden outburst. And then rage started to filter into her blood. "Me?! Youse weren't anywhere ta be found! What was Ise supposed ta do?! Stand by?! No way in hell! Ise would stick up forah ma selling partner as long as Ise live! If it wasn't forah me he would be lyin' dead in da streets of Manhattan right now!" Luna heaved a few deep breaths before continuing. "And ya know what?! Ise am actually really kind! Ise don't care if it puts me in dangah, ise will protect de only family Ise got! So youse bettah respect dat Mr. Jacobs." Luna noticed the slight burn in her back as she raised herself off the mattress and started to raise herself onto her bruised legs. Davey rose with her, still fuming. She wobbled and fell, but not onto the floor. She fell into Davey's arms.
"I am just..." Davey's eyes were now back to the soft brown she knew and loved. "Worried about you... If I would have been there... You and Les would be okay... I was just..." His voice cracked.
"Youse were scared forah me?" Luna finished for him.
"Yes, I care about ya Luna. More than a friend, or a sister." His voice dropped to a whisper.
A tiny smile grew on Luna's lips. "Dave, if youse are sayin' that youse wanna kiss me as much as Ise wanna kiss youse. Den my answer is yes. I feel da same way..." Davey's eyes grew twice in size at her words. "Now kiss me ya fool." Before he could say anything Luna pulled Davey's lips to hers.
