He loves me… He loves me Not… The outsiders
I walked out of the Curtis's house and hugged myself as the cold night air hit me. Maybe before i start to tell the story i should tell a little about myself. My Name is Lily Randle, I have light hazel eyes, and Long straight, soft, black hair, and im Sixteen years old.You see, Steve is my cousin and I just moved here. I have been here a lot before though to visit. I got into an argument with Steve about where I would stay, since I didn't have family here except him. I didn't know where I wanted to stay. It's not that I didn't want to stay with Steve it's just; his dad scares me when he's drunk. It's also not like I didn't want to stay with the Curtis's, I mean I like them, but I didn't want to impose you know? Darry already has it hard enough I don't need to add to any stress.
I don't know I'm just complicated I guess. Then there is Dallas…. I've stayed with him before, not like that…. But Steve would kill me if I stayed with Dallas again. I knew Dallas wouldn't do anything to me but Steve I guess didn't trust my instincts. I'm not even gonna start on Shepard his name says it all! I continued to walk when I heard someone cry in pain. I saw a male crouched low on the ground and then completely fell over. I ran over to him quickly and I may not have realized it then… I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life.
I reached him and he tried to get up. "Your hurt Just relax, I'm gonna help you" I said soothingly and he nodded. "What's your name?" I asked. "Anthony" he replied weak. "Ok Anthony, I'm Lily" I responded. I took him to the hospital and they settled him into a room. I didn't want to go talk to Steve just yet and Anthony didn't want me to leave so I stayed with him… Besides Anthony was a little out of it. It probley wasn't the smartest idea to stay but I couldn't help but feel bad for the guy.
The Next morning I left early when he was talking to a doctor. I knew Steve was going to want an explanation for not coming back and he was gonna want to know where I was. The now warm air was blowing my soft black hair. When I reached the Curtis's house only Ponyboy and Two-bit were inside. "Hey Pony, Hey Two-bit" I said. "Hey Kiddo where you been?" Two-bit asked and gave a small grin as he turned away from Mickey on the TV. Two-bit is eighteen and I'm sixteen and even though we are only two year apart he still always calls me kiddo. I guess I just stopped caring at a point and it kind of grew on me.
"I was with a Friend" I said not exactly lying but not fully telling the truth and he nodded. "Well I'm going for a walk you wanna come?" two-bit asked us both. "Sure ill come" I said. "Pony you wanna come?" "Nah Johnny is suppose to be coming over soon" pony replied and we nodded. "Alright see you later pony" I said as we walked out. As we walked passed Johnnycake's house there was a lot of screaming.
Johnny Cade doesn't have the best home. His mom is always yelling at him and his dad always hits him. I wish there was something we could do for him…. But it seems as if there is nothing. I sighed at the lifestyle they all had to live. I mean I didn't have the best parents either, but my dad never hit me. I just got yelled at a lot until I was too much of a "burden" so they dumped me in Tulsa to live with Steve.
It's better than living with them so it works out perfect for me. Also ill be around people who actually cared for me. None of us really had a good lifestyle but in some way we had to learn to live with it. "You know Steve is worried sick about you" Two-bit said to me breaking the silence. "I know" I said softly. "So what friend were you with?" Two-bit asked. "Oh uh his name is Anthony" I said. "Anthony? Hmm sounds familiar from like school or something… how come you haven't talked about him?" he asked. "I met him last night" I said and Two-bit looked at me.
"Little dangerous don't you think?" Two-bit asked. "What isn't in Tulsa, besides I'd say right now the only thing I have to worry 'bout that's dangerous is Steve when he actually sees me" I said and Two-bit cracked a grin. Two-bit slung his arm around my shoulders as we continued to walk. Of course once he saw a blonde he wandered off and told me he'd catch me later as he walked to the blonde. I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed. "Hey Lily!" I heard and turned to see Anthony and a couple of Socs. I tensed but stayed cool as I waited for them to come over. "Hey…" I said shyly and partially scared since they were Socs. I didn't know how I didn't realize he was a Soc last night… Now I knew I was in trouble.
The Socs seemed to not notice I was a Greaser, maybe it was the way I was dressed. I didn't exactly dress like a normal greaser girl would. "How are you?" he asked. "I'm fine how are you? I didn't think you'd be out of the hospital this early" I replied. "Yeah just a few scratches and bruises but I'm alright" he replied with a friendly smile.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked and he nodded. "I'll be right back guys" he said and they nodded. When we got a hearing distance away I took a deep breath. "You're a soc?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah what'd you think?" he asked. "I don't know….." I replied softly. "Why…. Your not a…" he kept trailing off. "I just moved here, my cousin is Steve... He's a Grease… and since I live with him now… I guess that makes me a Greaser" I replied softly. He looked at me with a shocked and also blank expression at the same time if that is even possible and he was speechless. "Look I'm glad you're alright but maybe it's better for us if we didn't associate with each other…. Bye Anthony" I said as politely and kindly as I could and walked away.
