A/N: This is my first Outsiders fanfiction, so please be nice and tell me what you think about it.
Today was an extremely hot and sunny Friday in October, and against my older brother, Darry's warnings, I was walking home from school alone. I was fully aware that it wasn't very smart walking alone in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but I wanted to get home and wasn't
too happy about having to wait another hour for Two-Bit to come pick me up.
As I was walking home all I could think about was how I, Leila Curtis, was about to turn 17. I know it is just a filler year, but this year was really terrible and I just want it to be over. About 8 months ago my parents died in a terrible car accident.
My oldest brother Darry had to drop out of college to come home and take care of us. My other older brother SodaPop was a junior at the time, so he was allowed to drop out of high school and get a full-time job at the DX.
Completely zoned out, I neglected to notice the bright blue mustang following me until it was too late. Out of the car emerged four socs, I immediately knew I was outnumbered and it wasn't going to end well, but that sure as hell didn't mean I wouldn't
fight. I recognized only one of the socs, it was Bob Sheldon, the one who had beaten up Johnny.
"Looks like no one's gonna save you now greaser girl." Bob smeared at me.
I didn't say anything so many thoughts were racing through my head, but the main thought was Dally. Where was he, he saved me last time, he is always there when I need him, he has to come. The last thought was more like a prayer.
I tried to run, but didn't get very far because Bob grabbed me by my hair and threw me to the ground. The other socs, I didn't know their names but I recognized them from school, surrounded me and prevented any chance I had of escaping. I wasn't going
down without a fight, I was able to stand up. Before I had a chance to do anything else, Bob began punching me, then pushed me against the wall and ripped my shirt. I was thinking no he can't rape me, no, no, no. I gathered up all the courage I could,
and spat in Bob's face.
"Ya stupid greaser, ya will regret this." Bob growled enraged. He threw me to the ground and kicked and punched me. I thought it would never end, until he grabbed me by my hair and dragged me behind a dumpster in the alley. I began falling in and out
of consciousness, when he ripped my skirt. I began mumbling, "no, please no..." Then a little louder, I tried to shout for Dally. As loud as I could, given that my chest hurt like hell to even breathe, I shouted, "dally." This only caused Bob and
his friends to laugh, but he punched me so hard in the face that I blacked out.
When I finally came to I was in Dally's arms. I couldn't move or even speak, so I just lay there, and listened to him talk to me. "Come on doll, wake up. Please, I can't lose you too." Dally said trying to soothe me. "You're the best thing that has ever
happened to me, please, please don't die."
I tried with everything in my power to move or talk, when I finally whispered, "Dally?"
"I'm here for ya, don't worry, I'ma get ya help, it's gonna be ok." Dally mumbled to me, then he leaned down and kissed on on my forehead. "I thought I lost you doll." I was tootired to respond soI just snuggled in as tight as I could to Dally's
bare chest. i realized that he must have put his shirt on me to cover me up, before I woke up, and for that I was greatfull.
"Alright doll, lets get ya some help." Dally said. He picked me up and began walking me home, stopping every few seconds to make sure I was still conscious.
When we got home, it was pitch dark outside and my younger brother PonyBoy and our friend Johnny were the only ones home. "Pony, Johnny come help, I found Leila, she needs help, I'm gonna go get the others." Dally said.
"What happened?" Pony asked.
"The fucking socs happened, I swear whoever did this to Lei is gonna be dead when I get ahold of em." Daly growled.
Mustering all the strength I could I grabbed Dally's arm, with tears running down my face, I cried out, "Please... D-don't l-le-eave me. I must have looked pretty pathetic because Dally complied. "Johnny, Pony go find the guys, but stick together I mean
it, no wandering off!" Dally ordered.
"A'right doll, lets get ya cleaned up a bit, I'm not gonna leave ya, just goin to the kitchen to get a hot rag to clean ya up a bit." Dally said soothingly. I nodded.
Dally began to clean some of the blood off my face, and was most likely assessing my cuts. He was doing his all the while cursing out the socs. Dally became distracted and pushed a little hard on my face. I sharply inhaled because of the pain, then just
about passed out because of the pain in my chest. I naturally reached over to my left ribswhere the pain was coming from.
"Oh doll, I'm so sorry." Dally apologized. He immediately noticed my hand on my ribs and became very angry. He calmed himself down, and turned back to me and said, "A'right doll, lets see." he lifted my shirt, well technically his shirt, and gasped when
he saw my side. If felt like at least one rib was broken.
"It hurts Dal." I managed to choke out.
"I know, it will be alright. Once your brothers and the guys get back we will take you to the hospital and get you all fixed, just hang in there doll." Dally said while comforting me.
As if on cue the door swung open and in came Darry, SodaPop, Steve, Two-Bit, Ponyboy, and Johnny.
"Oh god" Darry and Soda said when they saw me.
Always lookin out and protectin me Darry said, "We need to get her to the hospital." it was decided that Darry and Soda would go to the hospital, but Dally fought and said, "I will not leave her side."
"A'right then we better get a move on before she gets any worse." Soda said.
Dally picked me up and took me to Darry's truck. Soda opened he door and helped me in. Darry drove, Soda sat shotgun, and Dally was in the back with my head on his lap. All the way to he hospital Dally stroked my hair and whispered to me that it was going
to be alright.
When we were a few minutes from the hospital the pain in my chest became unbearable. I looked up to Dally for strength but it was too much so I closed my eyes.
"Noooo," Dally shouted, "Damnit Leila wake up, come on doll please wake up!" This was the last thing I remember before blacking out.
