Saved: An Outsiders Fic

A/n: hello to my new readers! I know that The Outsiders is a really old book, but i couldn't resist. I read the book twice, watched the movie twice, and I am in love with the story line! I wanted to write a fic about it, and my friend helped me come up with the plot. I really hope you like it.

Chapter One: Ponyboy POV

I ran out of the house with tears stinging my eyes and my cheek slighly throbbing.I was so mad; Darry had hit me. I ran to the lot and woke up my friend, Johnnycake.

"Whassup, Pony? Where's the fire?" Johnny said as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"C'mon Johnny, we're runnin' away!" I said as i grabbed his arm and began running. I didn't know where we was goin', but after awhile, we wound up at the park. We walked around for a little while and I told Johnny what happened as the tears just kept coming.

"Aw man," Johnny said as he gave me a reassuring slap across the back "that sucks. Let's just keep walking around for awhile ok? Maybe you can cool down enough to go back home." he said as he slapped me a few more times.

"Yeah, sure. But did he really have to hit me?" I said as we kept walking. After awhile, I had stopped cryin' and we just walked around in a comfy silence. But not long after, i see that famous blue mustang comin' around the corner.

"Company, Johnny. Look alive." I said as I nudged him with my elbow.

The mustang puilled up, and out came the socs from earlier. The ones with Cherry and Marcia.

"Well boys, lookie here. It's the greasers who picked up our girls." I could smell the booze on them. It was so strong it could have thrown Two-Bit back. One of them took a long swig of whatever it was that he had on him. He continued after he swallowed.

"You know what Greasers are boys? White trash with long, greasy hair." he and the other Socs started laughing. I could only smile smugly. I was offended, don't get me wrong. But I loved getting mouthy with people sometimes.

"Hey Johnny, ever figure what a Soc is?" I said to him and he shugged.

"Snobby, rich, white trash with mustangs and madras." and just to show how disgusted I was about it all, I spit right into the lead soc's face.

Next thing I knew I was being drowned in the fountain. I struggled for a breath of air, but I would only swallow water, and I began to choke. Not long after I was on the pavement before I passed out. I saw a shadowy figure hangling three socs. Then another came out of nowhere, starting on the other three.

The socs had retreated. The two figures looked at each other and gave a small high five. The one closest to me had turned around and offered a hand and said "You ok, man?"

It was the voice of a girl. As I stood up I could see she had shoulder length black hair, and hazel-cat eye green eyes. Really close to my color.

"Yeah, thanks." There was another girl too. She had longer hair that went past her shoulders, and down to about her mid-arm. Her hair looked dark too, but she was too far away for me to tell. She was at Johnny's side trying to get him to take off his jacket so she could see if his ribs were broken.

"There ain't no way I'm taking off my jacket! It's cold for one, and two, how the hell do I know you ain't gonna try anything?" He said as he tried to get up, she only pushed him back down.

"I wouldn't rape someone right after I've just saved their ass. Plus, I can't get you back home if your ribs are broken!" She growled at him. He finally gave and took off his jacket.

"What's up with your friend? She some sort of doc?" I asked the short-haired girl.

"Not really. She's not certified anyway." she said as she watched the girl probe Johnny's side.

"Ow! Can you not poke so hard?" Johnny said as she poked around his rib cage.

"Sorry. Looks like you've only got a few bruises. You sure were lucky." She said as she helped him up and gave him back his jacket.

"Thanks." he put his jacket on. "Where'd you learn to fight like that?" he had asked her as they walked back over to us.

"Our dads tought us." She replied. "Hey, Kyla. It's getting kinda late. We should get them home and find a place for ourselves." she said as she checked her watch.

"You ain't got a place to stay?" I asked them. Kyla looked at her friend, then back at me and shook her head.

"How come?" Johnny piped up. The girl with the longer hair looked down as if the soaked cement were suddenly really interesting.

"We ran away from home." Kyla said. Johnny and I let our jaws drop.

"Well, not to get all nosy and stuff, but why?" I asked the two.

"We both had wonderful fathers and family. But we had abusive boyfriends. They would find us no matter where we went in town. So we left a note for our familes and we ran as fast as our legs could carry us." The girl with the longer hair said as she looked up with tears in her eyes, and suddenly I felt real bad for them.

Then, Johnny did something so unexpected I froze when I saw it. He walked up to her and hugged her as she began crying on his shoulder. Johnny rested his head on hers, and just let her stay there. Johnny wouldn't let anyone hug him like that. The closest he'd let anyone get was an arm around the shoulder. But never a full-on hug.

Then I noticed that the other girl was shaking too. She seemed like the tougher one of the two. But I guess when you're abused, anything can reduce you to tears. I began to rub the poor girl's back, and she too, began to cry on my shoulder.

"C'mon Ray, we should get out of these poor guy's hair." Kyla said after she wiped her eyes and began to walk away. I don't know why but I grabbed her hand, making her stop.

"If it's ok with you two, we can all just go back to my place. My brothers wouldn't mind." She looked at 'Ray' unsurely, and I knew what she was thinking of.

"Oh c'mon! I'm fourteen! What can I do?" I said as I chuckled. She thought about it some more, and she said.

"I'm fifteen, my friend is fourteen too. Your friend there?"

"Sixteen." I said.

"And your brothers?" she said with a raised eyebrow.

"Seventeen and twenty." I said. She smiled. Probably cuz Darry is twenty. And an adult.

"I guess, if there's an adult in the place. It wouldn't hurt." she said to 'Ray.' "But before anything, we need your names. It'd be kinda weird if me and my friend just stayed over and called to you by saying 'Hey Guy!'" she began to chuckle.

"Well, I'm Ponyboy Curtis. And this here is my friend Johnny Cade, but we usually call him Johnnycake or just Johnny." I said as I bowed like a gentleman would. I swear i saw her blush.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kyla and this is my friend, Ravyn. But we go by Ky and Ray." she said as she curtsied shortly. Her friend nodded her head in salutation.

"We also have many other names we go by, such as Kotahe and Rin. But those are our pet names. Feel free to call us by what you like." She was so polite. And I think I saw Johnny's eyes glimmer with interest.

"Rin. Short and sweet. Tuff little name too." Johnny said as he dug is hands into his jacket pockets.

"Tuff?" she said as she cocked her head and looked at him.

"Yeah, T-U-F-F. Like sharp, cool." I said and I tried not to look to eager. New town, new vocabulary.

"Oh.. Kinda like back at home: beast." Kyla said as she snapped her fingers.

"Beast?" Me and Johnny said at the same time.

"Like when something is so cool, you think it's like a super-cool beast." Rin explained cooly.

"Oh.. now I see the comparison." I said as I smacked my head with my palm. I noticed that Rin has started to get goosebumps and her teeth were chattering. Kyla looked even colder than I felt. And I was wet.

"Let's get you guys to your new home. I'm sure your just as cold as we are." Johnny said and he threw his jacket around Rin's shoulders. She yawned, and suddenly everyone began yawning too.

"C'mon. It's this way." I said as I began to lead the way. On our walk there, I knew i would have a lot of explaining to do with Darry and Sodapop.

End Chapter One

I don't own The Outsiders. Only Kyla and Rin. The Outsiders belong to S. E. Hinton.
