This is my first fic so I'm sorry if it sucks.

I do not own the Outsiders, unfortunately...

Ponyboy's POV.

"Darry's gonna kill me fo sho'", I thought to myself as I walked home from school. I failed my math test on geometry, but really, when is a hood like me ever gonna need to know stuff bout circles and all. Then I saw something that scared the crap outa me. There was a chick my age laying face down on the side of the road up ahead. I ran up to see if she was o.k. I flipped her over carefully. She had a black eye and a cut on her cheek, just like Johnny did. "Socs..." I thought to myself. The good thing was she was still breathing.

"Hey, wake up...please answer me...I wanna know if your ok." I said as I shook her a little.

She was a greasy lookin girl with long brown hair and blue eyes that were almost the color of jade. She was wearing a jean jacket, white tight fitting tee, dirty, grass stained jeans and an old pair of converse. Even though she wasn't that dressed up those clothes made her look gorgeous since she had perfect curves. Golly, she sure was pretty. Then her beautiful eyes flickered open and she looked up at me. She looked scared out of her mind cause I was kneeling over her.

"W-what are you doing..." she whispered, staring at me with big, worried eyes.

"Sorry, I was just making sure you were ok." I said standing up.

I helped her up and she brushed herself off. I started to continue to walk home but she grabbed my arm and said, almost begging "Can you walk me home? Please?". I nodded and followed her. Then she started a conversation:

"I cant believe you helped me, most guys wouldn't" she said.

"Well, I'm not like most guys, I guess." I retorted.

Then she got a glimmer in her eye and gasped "Hey, aren't you the guy in the paper, saved those children in a church?".

"Yea, the names Ponyboy, Ponyboy Curtis, why?" I said.

"Nothin, just wondering. I've seen you around, you and your gang. You real tight, I guess." she said looking at her converse.

"Yea, since the whole thing we got a little closer." I said. Why am I telling her this. I should have ran away when she asked me to walk her home. No, that would be cowardly.

"So what's your name?" I finally asked.

"Dorleen McManus, but please call me Dory, I hate my name" she answered

A while later she said "Were here" with dread in her voice.

I could understand why. It sounded just like Johnny's house did. I heard a woman and a man calling each other awful things, and then a crash, and then a scream. Just like Johnny's. God I miss him...

"Shit, their fighting again...I gotta go find a nice lot to sleep in so I guess I'll see you around." she said which made me come back from space.

I felt sorry for her. She was just like Johnny was. And look what happened to him...

"No, don't go." I shouted, scaring her again "I'm begging YOU now. Listen, I don't wanna leave you alone like that so why don't you come with me. I gotta swing by the house and tell my brothers were I'm at and then I'll stay the night with you at the lot."

"Fine" she said "I was fraid they was gonna jump me again anyway.".

Later.

Finally we got home and unfortunately all the gang was there.

"Oooooooooooo! Pony's got a girl friend!" Two-Bit shouted.

Darry glared at Two-Bit and said "Who's that you got there Pony?".

"She got jumped by the Socs. She was bad off but I helped her. Her family dont want her tonight so I was gonna go stay with her in the lot." I said cooly.

"Fine, just don't do anything I wouldn't do..." Darry said as I walked out the door with Dory.
