I walked around for a little the rain hitting me on the face. It was cold. It was late afternoon, about 4:30, my parents had been fighting, not like they usually do, with fists and words, but with guns, and beer bottles. The last thing I heard my mom say was run. See we lived in a diffrent town.I was in Tulsa now.
The last thing i remember was my Mom telling me to run, the door locking behind me, and four gun shots Two for my Mom and Two for my Dad. I was scared, cold, and, well, lost. My Clothes they were torn. I didnt know where to go I had no where to go. So I walked. I sat at the edge of the road by a swing set, and dug through my pocket for a Smoke, and a lighter. Damn it I didnt have either! I sat there. Till i saw a shadow come up to me. It was a car. But who would be pulling over by me? I stood up. They got out of the car. "Hi," I said with water coming down my nose, " Uhm, can you move?" I asked politley as possible.
"Look grease, were gonna teach you a lesson," The blonde said, she was tall and skinny, she had on expensive clothes, and I could tell she had a boyfriend because she was wearing his High School Coat.
"Grease," I said confused," Whats a Grease?" The girls laughed. There were four of them.
" A grease is you," The brown haired one said, she was short and pudged. " Your white trash, and were gonna teach you a lesson." I sat there, still confused, oh what to do Instincts told me too run, but maybe they were kidding. Allthough.
" And we are Socs. High class and perfect." The blonde said. I stood there, the rain pouring like mad, by the time I could open my mouth they punched my in the face, and I was out cold. Cold like the rain. I woke up finnally. The rain still coming down hard. But there was someone over me. I backed away as fast as I could, but there was a sharp feeling in my side.
"Dont move!" The boy said. "Youor gonna make it worse thats a pretty deep cut as it is allready dont make it worse."
I sat there confused, and dazed. What was happening, I couldnt tell I was still lost, and tired now too. I put my hand on my forehead I felt hot. then i felt something on my head, it was blood. I started to panic. I saw a figure over me.
"What you've never seen blood before?" He said, he had brown hair, and a old brown leather jacket. He was REALLY tall. "Come on," He said, "Two-Bit come help me."
He smelled baddly of booze. "Kays," He said.
We got to a house. It was slightly clea. Well for a bunch of boys anyway. "Bringing home girls there arent we Two-Bit." A guy from the Kitchen yelled.
"Nope, Dal is!" He laughed as hard as I had ever seen anyone laugh. "Whats your name?" He said, Some one came over and slapped him on the head. He had brown hair, with some blonde. Obviously Dyed. By the time I had a good look at him, he was in a head lock on the floor with the one who smelt like booze. I sat there watching trying not to smile. Three more people came in a Dark haired dark skinned boy, with dark eyes that looked frightened yet ammused, a boy with a movie star face, you know like Paul Newman? Only this boy looked so real. And a tall boy who looked just like the one with a movie star face, and the one in a head lock. Must be brothers I thought.
"Well whats your name?" The one with blondish hair said, the one who smelt so rotten with booze.
"Terran, Terran Micheals." I said.
"Oh Terri," THe boy said with a slur, obiviously he was drunk, "I'm Two-Bit, thats Johnny-Cakes, Ponyboy, Sodapop, Darry, and Dallas."
Okay I got it, The drunk was Two-Bit, the one with pretty eyes was Ponyboy, the movie star was Sodapop, Darry was the brother, and Johnny was the dark boy, and Dallas was the trouble maker.
"Oh well I better get going," I said getting off the couch and walking twords the door.
"No you have too stay," Ponyboy said, "We want you too. But why are you alone?" I looked at the ground about too cry. "Becuase when we first saw you, you looked pretty messed up."
"That was ya'll?" I said, "Yah," Pony replied," So what happened before the socs?"
I told them about my Mom and Dad and how he killed her and himslef. And how, I didn't have any other family too stay with.
"Then its settled," Darry said when I finished my story,"You can stay with one of us. Two-Bits eyes gleamed with joy, Dallas looked annoyed with me, I didnt even say two words to the man and hated me!
"She can stay with me," Dallas said, "I dont care, but Johnnys there too so."
"I don't know.." Darry said, "Why not you Two-Bit?" He said.
"OH YES!" He started screaming, "YES YES YES!" 'Calm down" Darry replied.
"Then its settled Two-Bits it is," Dallas said. Man he was sure a doll... but Ponyboy... wow. Anyways i snapped out of my fanasty world. Pony gave me some of his old clothes.
"Lets go home." Two-Bit siad as we walked down the street with arms locked toegther.
