Anything you recognize I dont own!

Driving into town, she thought to herself, I hope this town is better than the last one. Her brother had recently conacted her, and upon hearing her boyfriend had left her alone with a baby to raise, offered for her to go and live with him. She drove down the familiar street, in the East end of the neighbourhood. Violet had come back, with no other choice. As she neared the intersection, she stopped as the light turned yellow. She sighed to herself, and sat back. It had been an 8 hour drive. Not to mention the stops she had to make, for personal things, and the frequent off the road changing, she did for both her and her daughter. Her daughter, Hailey Noelle, was only a month old. Hailey was born on Christmas, and Violet (her mother) was there by herself. Violet's parents were not able to make it, and the Hailey's father was long gone.

Violet, was Hailey's mom's name. Violet was 21, and had brown hair, with blue/grey eyes. She was about 5'7, and was 'curvy' in the right places. As the light turned green, she accelerated, heading to the DX Gas Station. Violet put on her signal, and made a turn into the parking lot. She picked up Hailey, and climbed out. She walked towards the back of her truck, and took off the gas cap. She got out the pump with one hand, while holding Hailey in the other. She started to pump gas into her truck, and then she heard footsteps approaching her from behind.

"Do you need help ma'am?" A kind voice asked her from behind. She glanced over her shoulder and saw a greaser, with a head full of complicated swirls. She smiled sweetly, and replied,

"No thank-you. I'm getting used to this. Thanks though." He smiled, and walked away. She finished, and grabbing her wallet, she walked inside. No one was at the cash, so she walked around a little bit, looking at the magazines and food. She decided on getting a Pepsi, and a few chocolate bars. She walked back to the cash register, and upon hearing noises behind the counter she peered over, seeing a boy and a girl making out. She cleared her throat, and they broke apart quickly. The boy quickly stood up, and wiped his face, severely blushing. She smiled,

"Pump number 2" She said. He nodded and rang in her items. The total was $10.00. She pulled out a twenty dollar bill, and handed it to him, and walked away. She climbed into her truck, and drove to her new house. While driving down the street, she saw three boys walking. She noticed they were being tailed by a blue mustang. She drove up beside them, and pulled over. She noticed that 2 couldn't be older than 16, and the other couldn't be older than 20.

"You want a ride?" She asked them. The two younger boys nodded, and the one with the rusty hair wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt answered.

"Sure thing, doll face" And they climbed in. Violet picked up her daughter and placed her into her lap. Two-bit looked at Violet, his eyes narrowing. Violet started driving again, smiling, upon knowing who the boys were.

"Violet?" Two-bit said suddenly. She looked over at Two-bit, and noticed he hadn't really changed all that much.

"Hello Two-bit." He smiled, and Pony put an arm around her and gave her a one armed hug.

"It's nice to have you back Vivi. We missed you" Pony said quietly, using his nickname he had made for her.

"I missed y'all too. So where are y'all headed?"

"Home." Pony replied.

"Same address as before you left." Two-bit said filling her in. She smiled, and nodded. She turned left, and drove into the driveway.

"Hey Superman!" Two-bit called, walking into the house.

"What Two-bit?" He yelled back.

"You've got a girl here to see you!" He said in a sing song voice. She heard Darry grumble and then walk out of the kitchen holding a plate that he was drying. He noticed Violet standing there with Hailey and dropped the plate, resulting in it smashing, the sudden loud noise scaring Hailey, who in turn started to cry. Darry blushed a deep crimson, and bent down, picking up the pieces of shattered glass. Eventually, Hailey stopped crying, and Darry had picked up all the shattered glass. He put it in the garbage, and walked out to see Violet still standing in the same spot.

"So… Uh…" He tried.

"I was just giving the boys a ride. They were about to get jumped. " She told him quickly, and with that she walked out the door, and over to her truck. She opened the door, and saw Darry watching her from the front window. She sighed and put Hailey down next to her, and drove 3 houses down, and pulled into the driveway of a blue house with white shutters. The white paint on the porch was peeling, but other than that, it really hadn't changed. She picked up her daughter again, and got out of her car. She fished the key out of her pocket, and walked to the front door. She put the key in, and turned it. She heard the lock click, and opened the door. Her brother walked in, wearing only jeans, with his hair wet. He saw her, and Hailey, and walked over, giving the two a hug. After, she placed Hailey on the couch, and her brother enveloped her in a bear hug, and she began to cry in his shirt. He started to run his hand through her hair, and whisper comforting words to her. Eventually after calming down, both started to bring in boxes. She grabbed the first big one, and picked it up, and accidentally tripped. The box hit the floor, and everything fell out of the box.

"Shit!" She cried. She picked herself up, examining her elbow. She bent down again, and started to pick up her things.

"Need help?" A voice asked, causing Violet to look up. She saw the boy from the gas station standing there with a smirk on their faces. Violet hated people that did that.

"No." She said coldly, putting the rest of the things in the box, and walking into the house checking on her daughter. She walked out to see the two teenagers had now moved to the back of her truck, now looking at all of her stuff.

"Violet is a nice name," The one with the curly hair told her. "Is it your name or your daughters?" He asked, snickering. She resisted the urge to punch him. Ignoring both of them, she picked up another box, and brought it into the house. Upon hearing footsteps behind her, she quickly grabbed her heater, and walked into the living room seeing both boys around her daughter. Pointing the gun at the two teenagers, both quickly jumped back in surprise, and stood there with their hands in the air.

"Get. Out. Now" she said slowly. Steve and Soda slowly walked backwards, and when they reached the door, they ran fearing for their lives. Said teens kept running until they reached Soda's house. They bounded in the front door, and toppled over, landing on Two-bit who was just leaving. They got up, and tried to shake the scared look out their eyes.

"Y'all okay?" Johnny asked quietly, frightened at their sudden entrance. Both nodded.

"Y'all seen the new girl?" Dally asked walking in, stepping over Two-bit, who was still lying on the floor.

"Yeah man. She came to the gas station today, about an hour ago. I'll tell ya, this one is a bit crazy. We went over on our way home from work, and she just about shot us." Steve said, while laughing.

"Shut up." Darry told them, being completely serious. Thus, causing Steve to laugh harder.

"What? You got a crush Superman?" he managed to get out.

"Steve, seriously shut up. You have no idea what that girl has been through." Darry said, getting ready to clock Steve if it came to it.

"What do you mean Dare? I mean we all know she left, but how come?" Pony asked quietly.

"Y'all really don't remember huh?" Some of them shook their heads. Pony, Two-bit and Soda knew who she was though. Darry smiled slightly, "Well, do you guys remember that time our parents were freaking out and not wanting us to go outside because there were feuds going on between gangs?" Everyone nodded their heads.

"Well, I knew her personally from school. At that time, she was also my girlfriend. Violet was the little sister of the leader of the biggest gangs in Tulsa. Violet's 2 older brothers had gotten involved in gangs, and dragged all of their friends into it. Her best friend was also in the gang. She knew she couldn't be a part of the gang, and didn't want to. She was a kind and didn't like the fighting. One night, near the end- and worst time of the feud- I was in the backseat of her oldest brother's car, holding her hand. She was sitting next to Josh, with me on the other side. Her brother was in the front seat with his girlfriend, and all of us were on the lookout for any sudden movements that would cost us our lives. They dropped me off at the front door, and drove three doors down to her house. Mom and Dad had come out behind me, watching them to make sure they all got in safely. When all of them were out of the car, they turned to us and waved. A cherry red mustang drove by, and gunned them all down. When we knew they weren't going to stop and get out, we ran over. Violet was shot, but ignoring her pain, she ran over to see if her brother and best friend were okay. Her brother, was shot in the head, and as for Josh, he was shot three times in the chest. She was holding his head in her lap, quietly crying over his body. He was still alive, Violets parents upon having heard the gun shots, called 911. Violet's parents and her brother rushed outside. They were too late. Josh whispered something to Violet, and she leaned down closer to hear it. She winced as the pain from her wound set it, but continued listening. I'm not exactly sure what he said, but I think he told her that he loved her, and he always had. She cried harder when he told her this, and hugged him tight. She kissed him, and after the kiss, his body went limp. The ambulance arrived too late, because Josh was already dead, so was her brother, and her brother's girlfriend. Violet herself had passed out from blood loss, and had stopped breathing. Hours of waiting in the emergency room, finally the doctor came out and said she would physically be okay. He wasn't too sure how she would be okay emotionally though. I went into see her, and she couldn't look me in the eye. I knew then, that she didn't love me like she used to. I knew then, that she blamed herself for the death of Josh. She broke up with me later that week." Darry ended taking a deep breath looking around at the room of now silent greasers. Johnny had a look of sorrow and understanding, Dally still had that cold look in the eye, but most of the others had a look of sadness, understanding why Darry never really dated someone after her.

"Why don't you go see if she needs help putting things away and just get to know her better?" Pony said, bringing everyone back to life. Darry looked at the clock. It was only 6 o'clock. He nodded getting up,

"There are leftovers in the fridge. There should be enough for everyone, and make sure Johnny eats something." Darry said smiling at the younger greaser, who in turn smiled back. The older greaser put on his jacket, and walked out the door. He walked the three houses down, instantly having flashbacks of that awful night. He took a deep breath and walked up to her door. He knocked three times, paused, then again twice. It was their signal as teenagers to know who it was.

"One second!" She called. A few seconds later, she answered the door with her hair in a messy bun, with white and black plaid pajama pants, with a plain white v-neck. She was also holding Hailey, trying to burp her.

"Hey" Darry said quietly. She smiled in return.

"Do you want to come in? Sorry, my brother just headed out..." She said quietly, explaining why she was in her pajamas. He nodded, and followed her inside. There were mostly boxes everywhere. She grabbed some clothes off the chair in the kitchen, and Darry sat. Looking around, he realised that it hadn't changed much, that it was still the same house that it was when they were 14. She noticed him looking around.

"Not much has changed eh?" He said quietly. She smiled.

"With this house? No…" She said softly. Hailey began to drift off, and she went in and put Hailey in her room.

"Is that your daughters room?" Darry asked, confused because it was the biggest room there.

"No, I just haven't been able to set up her crib yet. I was planning to do it now…" She told him.

"I can help. I don't mind. Two sets of hands is better than one." She smiled, and walked into the room that used to be her brothers. Darry noticed the room was full of baby things. Violet went over to the closet and pulled out a big box that had the crib in it. They opened it and started working.

2 hours later, they had the crib built. Darry was finishing up, while Violet had to leave to feed her daughter. He walked out the kitchen.

"Thank you so much Darry. I appreciate it." She walked over to her wallet and pulled out a twenty. She handed it to Darry.

"What? I can't take this," Darry said. She just smiled and walked away. Violet walked into her daughters room, to see that there were already blankets in the bed, and the dresser was already set up. She sighed, and put Hailey into her crib. She pulled the blanket up to Hailey's stomach and walked back out the living room. Grabbing another box, she continued to put things away.

What were things going to be like now that Darry was in the picture?
