Hey guys I just wanted to do a short fanfict for Stand by me it's one of my favorite 80's movies well here goes.

Grace sat in the dark corner of her closet, her knees pulled up to her chest her blue dress wet with salty tears. Her breathing was uneven and tears streamed down her face, her brown curls spilled over her shoulders and tiny strands of hair covered her face as she cried silently. Her father's booming voice echoed through the house.

"Come here you little piece of crap! Where are you?" His footsteps came closer and her heart-rate started to speed up.

"You better not be out with those hoods again!" He screamed from outside her closet door.

The door swung open "There you are!" He snatched a hand-full of her browns locks and tugged her out of the closet. Her scream pierced the silence in the house.

He threw her against the wall as a vase smashed by her head "I told you never to see those ungrateful hoods again! You disobeyed me again! I own your sorry little face as long as you're under my roof!" He smacked her head against the wall and a pounding sensation started in her head screaming at her to make the pain go away.

He punched her face and she could tell a bruise was already starting to form; He grabbed her by her hair again and dragged her into the hall closet.

"No!" She screamed and he shoved her in and locked the door.

"Maybe that will teach you a lesson!" He hit the door and she whimpered

It had been almost a day that Grace had been locked in the closet, her father had left a little while ago and she shut her eyes tight waiting for the booming voice of her father. There was soft footsteps coming down the hall and her breath caught in her throat. Slowly the door opened and she started to cry. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her and picked her up bridal style.

"Gracie what has he done to you?" The voice of Eyeball Chambers whispered in her ear.

He was a part of the Cobras gang and lived next-door to Grace. There was there leader John "Ace" Merrill, He had blonde hair that he kept greased into spikes, His piercing blue eyes showed pure hatred and trouble. He loved his car more than anything and had a reputation as the town bad boy in Castle Rock, Oregon. He would beat you up for anything you said to him and did about anything bad you could think of.

Next was Richard "Eyeball" Chambers he wasn't that bad he just had a bad reputation, he never acted on it he just mostly followed Ace and drank, smoked, cursed whatever. He had light brown hair combed back and his bangs fell just above his eyebrows, his chocolate brown eyes showed anger and confusion almost all the time. The only soft spot he and the Cobras was Grace. She was a Cobra but more of the baby in the gang the one they all protected.

Then there was Billy Tessio, He was one bad egg. He kept his hair back in swirls and had fiery green eyes. He had a sweet brother named Vern and it was hard to believe they were related. He was mostly the player of the Cobras and was known for boosting cars in town.

Charlie Hogan was the scardie cat of the Gang but he knew how to throw a punch. He had a shaved head and blonde hair, he had hazel brown eyes that shined in the sunlight and he wasn't too bad but he was kicked out of three schools in the past year.

Vince was quiet but was known in town for drag races and vandalizing school property. He had brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

There were two other boys but no one knew their names they just were sort of there.

Grace was definitely the sweetheart of the gang; she had brown curly hair and soft baby blue eyes. She was known to be just the pretty girl in the wrong crowd. She didn't seem to be a trouble maker but had silver tongue that could tell a lie as smooth as butter.

Eyeball carried her to Ace's car and sat her on his lap as they drove away.

"Grace?" She looked up to see Eyeball looking at her with worried eyes.

"How long were you in there?" He asked brushing the stray curls from her eyes.

"What day is it?" She sniffed

"The fifth" Ace answered never taking his eyes off the road

"A day in a half" She buried her head in the crook of his neck

Eyeball cursed under his breath and held the bridge of his nose. They drove to Billy's house since his parents were out of town for the week leaving Billy in charge. They all sat around her in the room, Ace across the room leaning against the door-frame, Billy beside her Grace had her head on his shoulder and his arm wrapped around her waist. Eyeball was drinking a beer and sitting on the recliner beside them, Charlie was lying on the floor. The only sound was the soft pattern of Grace's breathing.

"Billy can she stay here for a while, just till your parents get back and her Pop is cooled off." Ace suggested

Billy nodded "Yeah Ace its fine."

Ace gave a nod and motioned for Charlie and Eyeball to leave, they followed and Ace looked at Grace and then disappeared out the door.

A few moments later the sound of Ace's engine starting and then Billy picked up Grace and carried her to his room. He pulled back his cream colored sheets and laid her down gently, brushing the stray hair from her face. At the sudden warmth of his hand Grace turned her head and Billy saw that she was trying to cover the purple and yellow bruise on her cheekbone. He licked his lips and laid beside her, he brushed the tips of his fingers on her neck. He watched as her pulse skipped a beat and her body shifted and her head moved to his chest and her finger brushed against his stomach before stopping just below his rib-cage. He closed his eyes and inhaled her sent of honeysuckle flowers.

He could feel her heartbeat and looked out of his open window seeing the pink, orange, purple, and yellow colors slowly fading into the night as dusk was ending and another day passed. The yellow of the grasses in the open field and then the rough bumps in the shadow from the cars in the lot. At the back of the field was a pond which had a deck attached to it. The colors seemed the float on the water and a warm breeze filled the air.

There was a quiet squeak and Billy turned to see his little brother Vern peeking into his room.

"What do you want shrimp?" He asked

"Is Grace okay Billy?" The slightly chubby teen asked his blue eyes shining with fear

"She's fine; she's just going to stay here for a while. Now go to bed before I sock ya." Billy hissed

Vern looked at his feet but followed his brother orders and left the room.

Billy looked down at Grace and kissed the hairline of her forehead, he pulled his sheets closer to around her shoulders as she shivered he looked out the window again before closing his eyes and drifting off the sleep.
