Story Starts
Eme's(pronounced like "Emmy") POV
When I was almost eleven my mom found out that she had cancer, and not the kind that could be treated her was very severe, it had started in her lungs and was working its way to her brain, she was told she had less than a year to live, and that if she had any affairs to get in order to start doing them, that's were this story starts, once my mom found out that she didn't have very long, she decided to do what was best for me. Send me away for a few years until I was older and could handle the "situation" better. The situation was my no-good-beat-neck-of-a-father Marshall Randell, ever since I could remember my daddy drank, and he wouldn't just have a few, he would get drunk and then try to beat on my brother, Steve and I, but mom would let him. Mom knew that after she died, there would be no one there to control my father except for Steve but as it stood he was hardly ever there, so she decided it would be best if right after my mom passed away, I was sent to New York for a few years, and I was only to return home when I felt ready. You probably think my mother was awful for not sending Steve away as well, but the truth was he was 16, hardly ever home, and wouldn't had gone even if we begged him. He would have missed his friends to much, especially Soda. I knew that if I went I would miss the gang too, but I knew if I stayed I might have ended up dead, so I went. I promised Steve that I would write often, and I did..in the beginning, but as time went on I got busier and more preoccupied, so we sort of fell out of touch. I was know fifteen, actually I had just turned fifteen, and I decided that I'd been away from Tulsa to long I was going to head back tomorrow, but I was unsure of how Steve, not to mention the others would take my return. So I decided that I would get on the train tomorrow and just "appear" back in Tulsa..and that I would worry about any trouble I would run into once I was back, when I got there, I needed to go home, I missed the town, I missed the smell of the hot summer air, I missed Steve and most of all I missed my friends, or for lack of a better word mine and Steve's family our friends Darry, Soda, Pony, Two-Bit, Johnny, and Dally. My only concern was, would they still think of me as family, or would they abandon me, and leave me alone without a hope in the world.
A/N- what do you guys think (remember Eme lost touch with Steve and doesn't know about what happened to Johnny and Dally) have any suggestions on who she should start "having feelings for?" review are welcome, helpful criticism is okay..but please no flames!
