It happened all so fast, first my parents and brother dying, and then having to move to Tulsa Oklahoma with my cousins. Of course, I did like my cousins the Curtis's, but I really didn't want to move from St. Louis to Tulsa. I've been to Tulsa to visit my cousins before and it didn't seem very pleasant where they lived, compared to the safe area I live in. But, I was going to have to get over it. I was on my way to Tulsa right now, but of course we had to drive there. Plane tickets were to expensive.

"Are you doing ok Jenna?" Darry asked me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said. Darry didn't look convinced; he knew how it was to have his parents die and could obviously tell I was lying. But I couldn't help it, my parents and only brother just died a week and a half ago and now I have to move away from all of my friends. It was hard enough to make the friends I had there.

"Look, I know its rough the first couple of weeks but it'll get better. I know you'll like it in Tulsa to, it's not as bad as it seems." Darry said softly. I couldn't really believe him though, I know you have to be pretty tough to really survive there and that's one thing that I'm not. I'm not much of a fighter either, or a runner, or anything else athletic.

After a few more hours we finally made it to their house, Sodapop and Ponyboy took a separate car. Luckily they had a guest bedroom that they were giving me, it was very small, but it would do. Then they helped me bring in all my stuff. Once we were done with that, we all went out into the living room, I didn't really want to but they all made me. Something about I shouldn't really be alone right now at the state I was in.

All we were doing was watching Mickey Mouse while Darry was cooking dinner. I really wish that we didn't have to watch Mickey Mouse, I hated that show. I at least wish that they would let me be alone so I could have some time to think, but it would bug the rest of them.

"So Jenna, how are you doing?" Soda asked. I knew he was trying to make sure I was ok but it was the millionth time he said that today.

"Fine," I said.

"Ok," he said a little unsure. Why can't they just leave me alone!?

"Ok it's time for dinner guys!" Darry said from the kitchen. It was spaghetti, as much as I love spaghetti, I really wasn't hungry. "Do you not like spaghetti Jen?" Darry said.

"I do, I'm just not very hungry right now." I said.

"Ok but you need to eat, you didn't eat anything today."

"I know," I said. I'm just not hungry, and even when I am I don't eat very much. My brother always teased me about having an appetite like a baby sheep. We ate the rest of dinner in silence.

Finally after a while we all went to bed. I had my first day of my new school tomorrow, it was the second quarter. I'm in ninth grade in High school right now. I'll have Ponyboy with me at least, but I didn't know him very well, I only got to see my cousins once a year in the summer so I don't know any of them very well. But all of that was about to change.

I know now why they didn't want me to be alone, after a while of thinking about my life in St. Louis tears came down my cheeks. I was careful to make little noises so I wouldn't wake anyone up but sadly someone must have heard me because the next thing I know, someone was knocking on my door.

"Jenna, are you ok? Open the door." I heard Sodapop say. I wiped away my tears and tried to hold back from crying and opened the door.

"Aww Jenna come here," Soda said and pulled me into a hug and lead me to the bed and sat down. I started crying again. "Calm down Jen, it'll be ok," He kept whispering to me.

"How do you know?" I said.

"Well my parents died to Jen, and I'm ok now. It does take some time to get over it but things will get better. You're in good hands with us." I was trusting him for right now.
