Hey guys, so ok I'm new to the outsiders and I don't know that much lol Currently reading the book :) But I really wanted to do a Fanfic so go easy on me and I hope you like it :P and I know that there are like a lot of these kind of ones but yea please read it. Johnny and Dally are not dead in this. By the way I'm probably going to use how they looked on in the film because its how I always imagine them, and I don't know Dallys age so I'm just going to say 17. I'm sorry if they seem a little OOC
I don't own the outsiders just the characters that I've made up.
"I hate you! I wish you died instead of mom." I screamed at my dad, basically all you have all missed is he hates me and I hate him. I can't stand my life anymore; I just need to get away from my dad. I'll take you back to what has happened in the past 10 minutes.
It' 12:30 and my dad just got home, drunk as usual but let me tell you he is not a happy drunk, he is very violent even more than he is when he is sober. I tried to stay out of his way really, but it's kinda hard when we live in a bungalow and my bedroom door has no lock. I just sit and hope he doesn't feel like beating me, but my luck is really bad. He starts shouting at me before he even sees me.
"Where the fuck are you! My life has been ruined because of you, you fucking little bitch!" The same thing he tells me every day. "Get out here now! Don't make me come in there and drag you out." I stood up and walked out of my room, I get beaten even more if I don't listen to him. Learnt that when I was 10 years old, a year after mom died. I'm 16 now and my dad is getting worse.
"Please dad, don't hit me. Please can I just go sleep?" I beg him, with that he hits me, it was only a slap but it still hurt. I feel tears welling up in my eye which is not good; he hates it when I cry.
"Stop acting like a fucking baby, you no good piece of shit. Always making everything about you, you're a pathetic little tramp!" I've heard enough.
"I make everything about me? You're the reason mom is dead, you made her go crazy because you wanted our lives to evolve around you dad! You made her work all the time with no breaks. You say I'm no good when all you do is get drunk every night and day, you can't even be bothered to get yourself a job, not even a bloody easy one like going to work in some shop." He smacks me causing me to fall to the floor; he kicks me in my side and then yanks me up by my hair so I'm looking right into his eyes.
"Never talk to me like that again, or you will be joining your mom in the ground!" I spit in his face which causes him to let go off me.
"I hate you! I wish you died instead of mom!" And with that I run out the house. Ok so maybe running out of the house when it was dark in the east-side of Tulsa, not safe because of socs and plus it was freezing cold and all I had on was a pair of denim capris and a red checked sleeve-less top, plus my old pair of black pumps. So yeah try imagining how cold I am. I walk down the road with my arms wrapped around myself trying keeping warm, yeah it wasn't working. Just as I'm crossing the road a blue mustang almost runs me over.
"Watch where you're going dicks!" I shout at them. The car reverses back up to me, so I start walking.
"Hey where you going baby?" One of the guys say to me, the car had five guys in and it seems like they were drunk so you know why I want keep wanted to keep walking and ignore them. "Oh come on I just want to have some fun, I can show you a real good time."
"What makes you think I would want to go anywhere with you toffee nosed snobs?"
"Aw come on now honey we only want have some fun." He says stumbling up to me; yeah this guy was definitely drunk so I'm guessing the others are a swell.
"Then go find some other chick who might actually be interested." I say walking off; the first soc who started talking to me grabbed my arm and started getting close, too close for my liking so I push him off which wasn't too hard considering he is drunk and ran as fast as possible for me. After 10 minutes of running I'm pretty sure I've lost them. Damn my side hurts; I'll probably end up going to my cousins' house, Darry, Ponyboy and Sodapop.
After since my aunty and uncle died Darry took on the responsibility of looking after Ponyboy and Sodapop after their mom and dad died, he works all the time. He's even given up going to college with a football scholarship to look after them, it's not very rare you see Darry grin, he is 20 years old. Ponyboy is the youngest of them all at the age of 14, he does really good in school although Darry is always wanting him bring home an A, isn't even happy if he brings gets a B. He's a track star and he loves to go the movies, loves them he does; he also likes to watch the sunset and to read. He would rather go to the cinema alone then go with the other guys who fidget all through them but no one lets him go alone since he got jumped by some socs walking back from one, hell it was even day when they jumped him, for no reason as well hell I suppose just bein a greaser is a good enough reason for them to jump him. Ponyboy is different than the others, but Sodapop understands him better than Darry. Soda is the middle brother, he is 17; he has movie star good looks all the girls are all over him all the time. He always stands up for Ponyboy no matter what; he's also sympathetic unlike anyone else in the gang. He dropped out of school and now works at the DX with his best friend Steve who is also 17. Steve knows everything there is to know about cars, he's cocky and intelligent. Oh and he is tough, he once held off four opponents in a fight with a broken soda bottle. I can tell he don't like Pony too much, it's just the way he looks at him; I bet he wishes he wouldn't tag along as much as he does. Then there is Two-Bit, the joker of the group. He is 18 and he loves micky mouse and chocolate cake, like everyone else, he is into shoplifting and he has this sleek black handled switchblade with he prizes. Moving on to Johnny, poor little Johnny cakes, well I say little but he's the same age as me. He has these big dark fearful eyes, his mom ignores him and his dad beats him so he really just see's the greasers as his family, and everyone is protective of him but mostly Dally. Dally is the toughest out of the whole group I would say, he came from New York where he use to run with other gangs. He's 17 and he is like my best friend, well use to be my best friend. My dad stopped me from goin out about 2 months ago, at first the guys came around all the time to see where I was but my dad kept turning them away and said I came down with an illness or that I didn't want to see them, soon they stopped bothering to come around and I haven't seen them in what seems like forever but really it's only been 5 weeks.
I realise that I've stopped running; I hear a noise behind me in the bushes and start to run to the Curtis' again. I run through the gate and in through the front door closing it behind me and drop to the floor breathing heavily once I am inside. I look up and see that everyone is here and that they are all staring at me.
"Becca?" Sodapop, man I haven't heard his voice in so long.
"Hey guys." I say forcing a smile; I think they can tell it's forced, I look around the room and my eyes fall on the one and only Dally Winston, it's so good to see his face again but obviously he doesn't think the same as he just glares at me.
"What are you doing here?" Ponyboy speaks up.
"Yeah we thought you didn't want to see us again." Steve says slyly.
"I still can't believe you guys actually believed that." I say shaking my head.
"Yeah but your dad told us-" I cut him off before he could say the rest.
"You actually believe what that bastard said?" I say letting out a small laugh. I try to stand up but I fall back down, my side has finally given in. The guys notice that I can't get up.
"What happened Becca?" Darry says coming over to me and helping me up, he walks me over to the couch and I sat down.
"Nothing, I just fell down some steps." I lie.
"The truth." How can they tell when I lie. Now I have every pair of eyes in the room on me. "Who did this to you, was it the socs?"
"No it wasn't them but I did have a run in with them but I got away."
"Well then who was it?" Darry says.
"Well…" I start, "My dad came home drunk as usual, and he, we started arguing and I said some things and he hit me, I said some other things and ran out of the house before anything else could happen." They all just stare at me until Dally speaks up.
"Ya mean your old man hit you?" I just nod. "It's not the first time is it?" This time I shake my head. "Why the hell didn't ya tell us Becca? We could have done something to help you." He says shooting up which makes me flinch.
"I-I just couldn't, and how would I have told you guys anyways he stopped me from seeing you all. The amount of times I've tried to sneak out, he has always caught me, he would have always found out and he beat me even more." I say feeling the tears in my eyes and quickly wipe them away.
"I told you guys something was up, I knew she wouldn't have just said she didn't want see us anymore." The guys all looked around at each other.
"Oh Becca." Soda says hugging me, "We should have known something was up, we're sorry."
"It's alright, but is it alright if I stay here for tonight?" I ask hoping it is alright.
"Yeah of course it's alright; you'll have to sleep on the couch tonight though." Darry says smiling.
"Thanks."
"Well I'm going now, see you tomorrow guys." Steve says, everyone just says bye and waves.
"I guess I'm going to go see how me mom and dad are or maybe go back to the lot." Johnny says getting up.
"Ey Johnny be careful, them socs might still be out there." Dally says.
"Yeah, I'll be careful." Johnny says and walks out. I'm guessing that since Two-Bit or dally haven't bothered to get up that they are staying for the night.
"Well, I'm going to go bed. Night guys, Ponyboy you've got school tomorrow so get to bed, you too Soda you got to get work early." Darry says.
"Ok." They both said at the same time but Pony mutters something under his breath which makes me laugh.
"Night guys." I say lying down and resting my head on the arm. It wasn't long before I got to sleep, I knew I was asleep because I was having a nightmare; my dad came and killed all of the guys, he was saying he never wanted me to see them again and shot them all with his gun. I didn't sleep for long, I found myself breathing heavily and looking up at the ceiling. I looked around the room and saw Dally and Two-Bit sleeping, Dally was still sleeping and Two-Bit rubbed his stomach, scratched his nose and started snoring, I laughed silently to myself. I decided to go outside for some fresh air and a cigarette. I say I never want to see my dad again but I need go back eventually if not he'll come look for me and that won't be good, I hear the door open and someone walks outside and stands by me but I don't look to see who it is.
"Why are you out here?" Dally's voice says behind me. I look and he is lighting a cigarette.
"I couldn't sleep." I say taking a puff of my cigarette. "How come you're not asleep? You were when I got up."
"I heard the door open and close and saw that you were gone, wanted see where you were going."
"Oh, sorry for waking you up."
"It's alright, I actually had trouble sleeping." He looks down at me. "It's freezing you coming back inside?"
"Yeah. If Two-Bit wakes up and sees us both gone he will only think the worst." I say laughing. We walk inside and I get on the couch and I realise how cold I really am. "Fuck it is cold, Dally get over here now and keep me warm." I say whispering, he laughs silently and sits down by me and puts his arm around me. I wrap up in the blanket and cuddle up to him, so glad he is my best friend.
