Some people never find the one; I just lucked out and found two
I walked down the brightly lit street kicking any rocks that came into my path. I glanced up as I passed familiar house. I moved closer to the chain linked fence and let my fingers run along its rough holes. "Hey." I heard a deep voice call out. I turned around quickly fearing the worst, but what I saw behind me was far worse. I felt my chest tighten and forced in a deep breath. He smiled at me but his smile turned to confusion when I didn't smile back. "Copper what happened when I left?" He asked, stepping closer to me. I didn't step back that would mean fear, which I lost that feeling along time ago. He walked closer so that now we stood a breath away from each other, looking into each other's eyes.
"Nothing, Bobby don't worry about it." I said, forcing a smile. He didn't smile back but raised his hand to my face tracing a deep scar that went from my left check bone to the corner of my mouth in a perfect straight line. He shook his head and pulled me into a hug.
I woke up to banging on the door down stairs, I threw my white blanket off me and stood up walking out of my bedroom, pulling on a white t-shirt as I walked to the door. I opened it without asking who was there, ignoring my brother's biggest rule, I hardly follow his rules anymore. "Tim what are you doing here this early", I asked as he pushed past me and went into my living room. I closed the door after making sure no one followed him.
"Get dressed Copper we have a fight at noon with socs." He stated. "And it's not early it's almost 11 30." I went to my room and laughed quietly as I heard him come up stairs behind me. I fell forward slightly when Tim's hand slapped my ass pushing me forward.
"Tim." I gasped turning around. He only smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist. I titled my head up, knowing he wanted a kiss. His lips pushed down on mine hard, his cold lip ring pressed against my warm lips sending shivers down to my spine. I backed out of his arms and walked the rest of the way to my bedroom without turning around. I walked into my room and went over to my closet pulling out ripped blue jeans and a white flannel shirt with a black tank top under it, both shirts stopped just above my naval exposing my dangling belly ring. I slipped my black and white studded belt around me and clipping in the front of my jeans keeping them from slipping over my curvy hips. I walked in to the bathroom across the hall, I threw my long red hair into a high bun and didn't bother putting makeup on. My gray white eyes stared back at me, I looked at my scars on my face and then down at the scars on my hands, sighing I turned the light off unable to keep looking at myself any longer. I went back into my bedroom and found Tim sitting on my bed waiting for me.
"Ready" he asked holding out his hand to me.
"Yeah" I said taking his hand and leading him out of the house not bothering to lock the door behind me. "So where is this fight going to happen?"
"At the lot the Curtis gang said we could use it whenever we needed it." He answered as if it was the most common thing ever, which definitely wasn't something normal. Tim's gang, which is the Shepherds gang, and the Curtis gang even though we don't fight them we aren't buddy, buddy. Well at least they never were, unlike me. I used to be really close to Darry, Soda, Pony, Steve, Two bit and Johnny. My older brother Dallas is still really good friends with them but he's in jail right now and won't be out for a couple months. And when he gets out he'll be in for the shock of his life. "Hey are you all right baby?" Tim asked me when we made our way to the lot.
"Yeah bay just thinking." I answered forcing a smile. He didn't see anything wrong and he focused at the task at hand. The socs were already there when we walked up. We were the last ones there like always. "Can't start with out the best." I muttered before running at a big socs wearing a red and coffee colored flannel jacket. I caught him around the neck and brought his face down to my level and lifted my knee sharply kneeing him in the face a few times until he passed out. I dropped him to the ground and stepped over him feeling everyone's eyes staring at me. I was the youngest here 17 and the only girl and I and everyone else knew I was one of the best fighters around. I gazed back at them and then screamed "fight" and ran at another guy who was shorter closer to my height. I jumped up and kicked him in the chest sending him flying back. I laughed as I heard him fall heavily to the ground. I looked around for Tim but couldn't see him. I felt all the air escape from my lungs as I hit the ground. I wiggled off my side and onto my back looking into black soulless eyes. He grinned at me and slapped me across the mouth. Ow I said in my head and tasted blood. I smiled back showing my bloody teeth and elbowed him in the nose. Blood pored out of it spraying both of us. "Ewe" I said pushing him off me. I stood up and looked around seeing mostly socs on the ground. Not many were willing to fight me after seeing what I did to the others. I a stepped onto some guys chest and rolled my eyes when his face turned red. "Please kitty I'm not that heavy" I laughed stepping off him. I gasped in pain when I felt a knife being pushed into my left arm. I knew better than to rip my arm away that would just cause more pain, I stepped on whose ever was sticking a knife in and kicked in his knee in. The knife fell out and I backed away. I glanced down at my arm and saw a lot of blood, which was the last thing I saw before the ground rushed up to meet me.
