I don't own Outsiders

My first fanfic on the "The Outsiders" book. It was a favorite back in high school.

This is based around the song, "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)", the acoustic version by Deftones. I don't own that either.

Enjoy

The sky was pitch black that night, the stars shining bright above me. I was sitting on the porch, smoking a cancer stick. I watch as the smoke leaves my lungs and slowly vanishes into the air.

"I wish I could disappear like cigarette smoke can…" I thought.

It was a bit cold, but it was autumn so it was expected to be cold. I really didn't care anyway. It's been two years…two years…but it felt like only two weeks.

Two years since that night Johnny killed that soc.

Two years since we ran away.

Two years since we saved those kids.

Two years since Johnny died in the hospital.

Two years that Dallas was shot by those cops and died in the street.

Two years…that changed everything.

I took another puff of the cigarette. I loved how the smoke seemed to burn my lungs. It made me feel…sort of alive again.

After the funerals of both Johnny and Dallas...the gang sort of…became quiet. My brothers and I have rarely talked to each other since then. I barely see Two-bit, Steve, and pretty much anyone. They never blamed me for what happened but I still blame myself. If I could do anything to change what happened, I do it. But that was then…and now I can't help but feel so dead inside.

I'm fast to get away

After a while I started to hang out with some girl named Ginger. A greaser girl with a wild look in her eyes. Long black hair and a smile that could make any guy melt into a puddle. A girl without a care in the world. A free spirit in my caged life.

She helped me feel again…for a while.

She helped me forget the pain of losing my closest friends and in the process destroying the only real family I had. But she was nothing, she was just…nothing. I soon found out she cheated on me…but didn't care…I couldn't care.

I dressed you in her clothes

Now drive me far- away, away, away

I felt a slight chill and shivered. It was getting colder. I took another puff and I noticed the cigarette was almost used up. I pulled out the pack that was in my pocket and got out another one. My lighter was in my other pocket. I lit the cigarette and once again felt the smoke enter my lungs. It calmed me, made me feel better.

I saw Darry's car pull up into the drive way. He had to work overtime again, to pay for the hospital bills. Around five hundred dollars plus tax. Not an easy amount to pay. He looked haggard and grumpy as he got out of the truck. I wasn't surprised that he was so upset, if I had to work so much I would be pissed too.

He walked right passed me, not even a hello or a glance at me. He walked into the house and got himself some water. I really didn't care that I was ignored now and that I never talk to my brothers anymore. I stopped caring so long ago.

#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

It feels good to know your mine
Now drive me far - away, away, away
FAR away
I don't care where just FAR – away, away, away

I got up suddenly and looked back at the house that I no longer saw as my home, but now as a bad reminder of my past.

I walked down the path to the chain link fence. I opened the gate and walked down the sidewalk.

And I just kept walking…and walking.

And I don't care
