Chapter 1:

(Crystal's POV)

This today is boring! Nothing good has happened today. Not even a Soc has tried to jump me and Will. Will, who's real name was Dawn Ramirez, was walking with me to the store. I ran out of supplies to make chili and wanted someone to go with me. Will is the toughest broad in Tulsa so no one messed with her or our gang. Her long dark brown hair was beautiful and so were her blue eyes. She came from New York last year because she had problems in New York. Her parents died when she was young and use to live with her Aunt. But Will caused too much trouble so she was placed in a foster home and moved down here. The bad part was it was a family of Socs. She's the only greaser in the house. That family made her act like a lady and they disagreed about her hangin' around us. She was two years older than me but my best friend. She had one tattoo on her arm and between her and neck. The one tattoo near her chest was pink flowers on vines. On her arms, she has a red flower with purple vines.

As for me, I was 100 greaser/hood like Will only a little nicer and not as tough. My name is Crystal Adams and I'm sixteen. I had long dirty blonde hair and bluish/greenish eyes. I have two sisters: Paula and Anna. Paula is the middle sister and Anna is our older sister/guardian. Our Parents died in a fire two years ago. It's been a rough two years. Paula dropped out of school and started working full time at a club while Anna works full time at a Chinese Restaurant. She brings home Chinese everyday for us but sometimes we get tired of it. Anna would skin me alive if I dropped out of school. My tattoo was on both of my forearms. It was a fairy; a fairy with blue eyes, long light brown hair and flowers behind her. She is wearing a black, blue and golden strapless with X's on the strapless. She also is wearing a light blue skirt and blue stockings.

"Hey Will," I said as I spotted a mustang coming toward someone. I think we were in the park. It was dark out so I couldn't see who the person was but I recognized a mustang in the dark. "Socs."

"I know," she said as she lit a weed. The Socs got out and started to surround a person.

"They looked like they're goin' to jump that person. Should we help 'em, the person I mean?"

"No." Will was always cold through other people that are not in our gang. She was especially cold to guys. She dated a guy in New York and he betrayed Will. Will never got over that incident. The guy's name was Dallas Winston I think and that's how betrayed her. "They should have known better than to wake by their lonesome." I looked at the person and saw the Socs had the person on the ground and the person was tryin' to fight back. Will finished her weed, dropped it on the ground and used her foot to put it out. "I know what your thinkin' Rose and don't do it." Rose was my nickname. I loved playing with flowers when I was little.

"But they need help." I couldn't take it. I run toward the Socs with Will behind me. I stopped near them and pulled out my blade. "Socs, pick on someone who can actually fight back." They got off the person and came toward me. I threw down my jacket and looked at them. "Come on; give me your best shot Soc bastards." They came closer but then backed away. I looked behind me and saw Will had her heater out and pointed at them.

"Move any closer and blow y'alls heads off," she threatened. They all went back into the mustang and left. I put my blade in my back pocket and walked over to the person. I wouldn't tell in the dark what he looked like but I knew it was a boy. I picked 'im up a little and I heard 'im whimper.

"It's okay," I said softly. "You're safe now. What's your name?"

"J-J-Johnny C-C-Cade," he said scare.

"I won't hurt you Johnny," I said. "I saved you from those Socs." Then I him pass out. It may be dark but I know when someone passes out. I did ace first aid and CPR. Those Socs must have done a good number of things to 'im. Will came down and looked at me. She knew what I was thinkin'. She always knows what I am thinkin'.

"We can't take 'im Rose," she said.

"But he's hurt and I can't let leave 'im the cold," I protested. "Put 'im on my back." Will did as I asked and put 'im on my back. His head was restin' on my shoulder and Will helped me up. She grabbed my jacket and we were off to my house. My house was located in the most dangerous part of Tulsa and I loved it. I loved to fight but no one fought us. Everyone knew not to mess with the gang I'm in. We're the most dangerous girl's gang in Tulsa. We're known by many names but my favorite is DDG or Dangerous Dragon Greasers. We all had a dragon tattoo on our back but they were different colors. Will use to work at a tattoo shop but the boss had a move on her and she quite. So when she came here and joined our gang, she gave us all tattoos. "Know what I just realized," I said. "We never went to the store."

"That's right," she said. "I guess its Chinese food again."

"Damn," I said. "I'll go later after I clean this guy up." We walked up to our house and opened the door. I looked straight in there and saw Anna.

"Where the hell had you been Crystal Adams?" she asked. She never called me by my nickname. She had long down hair and blue eyes. She was my oldest sister and always bossed me around. I had to be home by eight o'clock at night, don't leave the house when she's not home unless the whole gang goes with me and a bunch of other rules. She was more protective of me because I could easily get hurt. My sister was the oldest gang member but she's also an adult. She is 22. Her tattoo was five pedaled flowers all across the middle of where her chest and neck are. "And who's that on your back?"

"Rose has a boy toy," my other sister Paula said. Paula was the funny one of the gang. She always had other people laugh. She may be a dropped out but it doesn't show. She had long blonde hair and green eyes. Her tattoo was a wolf head in the center with lines as designs. Her tattoo was located in the same place as Anna's. Paula is 17.

"No we found Socs attackin' 'im," I said.

"Get rid of him," Anna said. Why did Anna always have to be so cold?

"I can't; he's hurt," I said.

"Really?" Paula asked as she came over to me and examined Johnny just by lookin' at 'im. "He's ain't lookin' good," Paula said.

"Please Anna," I begged. "He can stay in my room and I'll sleep on the floor."

"Only until he gets better," Anna said. Will threw my jacket on the couch and sat on it. I went to my room, opened the door, turned on my light, undid my bed and set Johnny on my bed.

"Paula, get me the medical supplies and Will get me some water and a wash rag," I said. I am an ace when it comes to medical supplies. I looked at Johnny and saw he has black hair and tanned skin. He wore a jean jacket, black shirt, shoes and long jeans. I removed his shoes and socks. Soon Will and Paula returned with what I asked then I told them to leave. They shut the door and I went to work. I put on gloves, took off his jacket then shirt without hurting 'im. I examine his chest and back. He had bruises and cuts all over his body. Did the Socs hit 'im that much? I cleaned his wounds and wrapped them. Next part was if I should remove his pants or not. He might have cuts on his legs too. So I decided to remove his pants, keeping his boxers on and I was right. He had cuts there to. I wiped them and bandaged them too. I cleaned his face then I was done. I looked in the medical supplies case and saw we were running low. I put the sheet over Johnny, kissed 'im on the cheek, picked up the medical supplies that were left, turned off the lights and left the room. Once I shut the door, I saw Anna lookin' at me.

"You used up all those supplies?" she asked.

"Yea; I'll go get some more," I said as I walked past her and to the table in the livin' room. I removed the gloves, took the off and then them in the trash can next to me.

"How's the kid?" Will asked.

"He's still sleepin'," I said. I looked at what we needed in the medical supplies and wrote down what we needed. I placed the paper in my pocket and I made sure I had my money for earlier. I did have the money. "I'll be back soon. No one needs to come. Don't go in my room." I shut our door and as I was leavin', I saw our other gang members: Abby, Krista, and Lynn.

"What's up Rose?" Lynn asked. She had short brown hair and blue eyes. She looked like a model and she was only 17. At school she was so popular and she could date any guy she wanted. Her tattoo was a blond-haired fairy with violet wings. The fairy is wearing a violet strapless with dots and light purple stockings. Located on her both of her forearms. We still haven't figured out why she hangs around with us.

"Nothin' much," I said. "I have to go so I'll see y'all when I get back."

"No you're not," Abby said as her and Krista picked me up and brought me back into the house. Then they threw me on the ground.

"That was quick Rose," Will said as she laughed. Abby, Lynn and Krista came in and shut the door behind them.

"What's up Will? I thought you were in the cooler for beatin' the shit out of that Soc?" Krista asked. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. Her tattoo was located in the same place Anna, Paula and Will had their tattoos. But Christina's tattoo was cool to me. It was beautiful red roses on black, thorny vines. There are some green leaves. She was 18. Her nickname was Krista and her real name was Christina.

"I was but Rose told the fuzz that those Socs attacked me first," she said. "Thanks again Rose."

"Welcome," I said as I sat on the ground.

"Guess who I saw today?" Abby asked. She long light brown hair and gray eyes. She was the youngest member in our group. She was 14. She was smart; maybe the smartest out of all of us except Anna. Her nickname was Abby and her real name was Abigail.

"Ponyboy Curtis," we all answered at once. She was crazy about 'im. He was in all her classes and she was on the track team with 'im. We all have crushes on someone but we weren't crazy like she was about 'im.

"How did you know?" Abby asked.

"He's all you talk about," I said as I got up. "I'm going to check the kid."

"What kid?" Lynn asked.

"Rose had a boy toy," Paula said grinnin'.

"Do not," I said.

"Rose is gettin' dirty!" Krista said. "Let us see 'im Rose."

"I'm just goin' to check on 'im," I said as I walked toward my room.

"Please Rose," I heard Abby, Krista and Lynn asked.

"No," I said as I opened my door and shut it. I turned on the light and saw Johnny was still sleepin'. I walked over to the bed, pulled a chair up and sat by the bed. He was sleeping peacefully. Maybe I shouldn't have turned on the light. I heard my door opened and the girls came in loud. Even Will, Paula and Anna came in.

"He's so cute!" Abby, Krista, and Lynn said.

"Shut your traps," I said. He woke up and I saw in his eyes he was scare. "It's alright," I said calmly. "You're safe now."

"Who are you?" he asked as he removed the blankets. Once he noticed his clothes were off, he quickly put the blanket back on and then blushed. "Where are my clothes?"

"Rose had sex with 'im while he wasn't even conscious," Paula said as she laughed her head off. Abby, Krista and Will began to laugh too.

"You better not have Rose," Anna said. She couldn't take a joke

"You wish Paula," I said. Then I turned my attention to Johnny. "I'm Rose Adams of the DDG." His eyes widen up and he became even more scared. "We're not going to hurt you Johnny. You were hurt so I took you here and bandaged you up." He looked down at himself and saw the bandages. "And for you're clothes, they are next to you."

"How rude Rose; won't even introduce us," Abby said.

"Where's your manners?" Krista said.

"What manners?" I asked. "I have manners; since when?" Abby hit me lightly on the back of my head.

"I'm Abby Smith," Abby said. "You know Rose. Wonder woman is Anna Adams and she's Rose and Paula's guardian and older sister." Anna was about to hurt Abby. We called her wonder woman just because we wanted too. "Paula Adams is the one with long blonde hair is Paula."

"Yo," Paula said.

"The one with dark brown hair is Will Ramirez," Abby continued. Will didn't say anything. "The other two you don't need to worry about."

"Where are you're manners?" Lynn asked. "I'm Lynn Lewis and the other girl is Krista Evans. What's your name cutie pie?"

"Alright everyone out of my room before I kick y'all all out," I said. "You're making him uneasy about us." I pushed everyone out and then locked the door. "Sorry about them; they get excited easy." Johnny said nothin'. "In case your wonder, we're the DDG gang. We don't look like it huh?" He shocks his head no. "Well we are; we only act like this because we're here and not on the streets. When we're out there, we get tough and don't play around. Where were ya headed tonight that cause ya to walk by your lonesome?"

"Nowhere," he said.

"Did the Socs really hit you that much? You have cuts and bruises all over ya," I said. "I thought Will and I found ya before it got worse."

"The Socs didn't cause most of these," he said as he put his head down. Did I say something wrong? I hope I didn't hurt his feelings. "Can I get back to my friends now?"

"Don't you want to stay until you recover?" I ask. "Plus it's late."

"Crystal, dinner and bring your friend," I head Anna shouted.

"Put your clothes on and let's go get some food," I said as I got out of my chair and left the room to give him some privately
