I do not own The Outsiders, nor do I claim too.
Every character you recognize in this story, is from the imagination of S.E Hinton.
Characters you don't recognize hopefully belong to me. xD
Feed back is of course always welcome, and like all writers I love reviews, be constructive with the criticism, and if not, I don't care, because you're still giving me a review, and everyone will see the number of reviews I have and think I have an amazing story, because they'll be to lazy to read the review. I kid. xD
This is set, a few months before the book.
All the important stuff about Cassie, the main character, you'll found out as the chapters go on.
This is my attempt at a sister fic, just btw. :3
I rested my hand on the door knob, surprised on how cool it felt underneath my palm. Drawing in a deep breath, I gave it a quick twist, while pushing the door open slowly. "Tim?" I said, my voice barely coming out in a whisper. I stepped further into the bedroom, able to make out the shape of the bed, I stumbled over to it, plopping down. I don't know why I was here. Darry would blow a fuse if he found out I had sneaked out of the house, especially to see Tim Shepard, who in Darry's eyes was nothing but a no good hood. Which was basically the truth. I'm still not sure why I let him convince me to come see him tonight. I knew he didn't love me, and I know I wasn't the only girl he was seeing, but still he made me feel wanted. Almost like I was something special. I sighed, kicking off my shoes, and lays back on the bed, getting slightly irritated that he wasn't even here. Of course I risk getting grounded, and being sent on a guilt trip by Darry for him, and he can't even be home. Luckily no one else was home either though. I curled up on his bed, letting my eyes fall shut.
I don't even remember falling asleep but the next thing I knew someone was shaking me awake.
"Stop." I mumbled, rolling on to my other side.
"Cassie, wake up." I heard a gruff voice in my ear.
I snapped my eyes open, which caused me to blink several times, since the room was now flooded with light. "Tim?" I said, sitting up slowly, my voice coming out groggy.
"Where were you?"I asked starting to sit up.
"Don't worry about it." He replied.
I felt the bed shift downwards, from his weight as he joined me on the bed. "I can't stay much longer."
My eyes scanned his room looking for a clock so I could get some idea as to what time it was.
"You can stay as long as I want you to stay." I felt his breath on my neck, as he said this.
I turned my head towards him, and felt his mouth hot on mine. I willingly opened my mouth, feeling his tongue on my lips. We've made out plenty of times, but haven't gone all the way yet. I was able to put it off for awhile, but I knew I couldn't anymore, not if I wanted to keep him. Not if I wanted to be his girl. I closed my eyes, wrapping my arms around his neck, as he lays me back on the bed.
His hands were starting to move over my body, groping here and there, a little to roughly for me to enjoy it. I shivered as his hand moved under my skirt, his fingers brushing across my thigh, moving further up. I wanted to tell him to slow down or stop, but him murmering how sexy I was, and how much he wanted me, kept me from doing so.
It would be worth it I told myself, being Tim Shepard's girlfriend is gonna be worth it. When I opened my eyes again, I noticed his shirt was off and his pants were unbuttoned. I drew in a deep breath, as he was working to unbutton my blouse, slowly revealing I didn't have a bra underneath. I blushed still surprised I went with the no bra idea. By the look on his face I knew it pleased him. "Oh god..."I moaned out lightly, as I felt his assault on my neck. I knew he was leaving a mark, one that I wouldn't be able to cover, one that anyone of my brothers would clearly be able to see, but I still couldn't bring myself to stop him.
My stomach tightened slightly, as he hiked my skirt up, and started to work my underwear down. "Maybe we should stop..." I managed to breath out. My mind felt foggy, and I wasn't so sure I wanted to go through this anymore, not right now at least.
"Ssh, baby, I'll be gentle." Tim said, fumbling in the pocket of his jeans before tossing them to the floor.
I stared at the condom in his hand and realized this was really about to happen. I took a deep breath trying to ready myself. I gripped his shoulders, telling myself it would be worth it in the end, because he would ask me to go steady with him.
I stared at him as he got out of bed, blinking fast to keep more tears from spilling down my face. I knew my first time wouldn't be that great, but I never thought the pain would be that bad, or I'd feel this empty afterwards. I covered myself with the blanket, as he started to get dressed.
"Where are you going?" I questioned, assuming he'd at least hold me for a little while afterwards. "I have some business to take care of." He went on sounding nonchalant.
I watched him as he picked his shirt up off the ground, and pulled it on"So you should probably head home." He said coolly, sitting back on the edge of the bed to pull his shoes on.
I bit down hard on my bottom lip to keep it from trembling, figuring that at least the after would be good. I wanted to kick myself for being such a naïve idiot. He was nothing but a J.D, not much different from Dallas Winston.
"I should get home." I repeated making it sound like my leaving was actually my idea.
I pulled on the items of my clothing as I collected them of the floor, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
"You know Cassie, I don't think this is going to work out." I heard him say as I headed towards the door.
I turned back towards him, my eyes stinging from the tears threatening to spill over. I swallowed hard. "No?" I questioned, trying to sound as careless as he did, but failing.
"You're brothers wouldn't want you dating me." I snorted knowing that wouldn't' bother him at all. "Plus," he added with a cruel smirk now on his lips. "You were a pretty bad lay."
"Go to hell." I manged to choke out, before turning and practically sprinting out of the room. I ran down the hall, pulling the door open and running out into the cool night air. I felt the wind sting my face, from the tears that were now sliding down my cheeks. When I had run a few blocks, I bent over resting my hands on my knees gasping for air. I lowered myself to the ground, and began to sob, hating myself more each second for being so stupid.
I stood up when I felt like I was all cried out. I was tired, cold, and just plain miserable. I started to make my way across the street to the payphone. I felt like crying all over again realizing I had no money for the phone. I crossed my arms over my chest, feeling scared and vulnerable. I knew Darry probably figured I wasn't home in bed by now. Hopefully, Sodapop, and Ponyboy, are asleep so they don't see me getting yelled at by Darry. Which I deserve.
I wish I could take this whole night back...
I wish I never fell for Tim...
I wish my parents were still alive...
I wish a lot of things, that can never happen.
I started my walk home, praying no one would bother me. If I had to guess the time, I would say it had be sometime after three. I wrapped my arms tightly around myself, feeling more scared with each step I took.
I looked straight ahead, as I thought I heard someone behind me. I didn't look back though, I just continued walking, picking up my pace a little bit. I finally had to look over my shoulder, just to make sure I wasn't being paranoid.
I took off in a run as I made out a dark figure just a few feet behind me. I heard the sound of shoes hitting the pavement, as whomever was following me started to chase after me. I tried to run faster, but who ever it was behind me, was obviously quicker, because before I knew what was happening I felt an arm around my waist. I started to struggle.
"Let me go!" I nearly screamed, hoping my voice didn't betray how scared I was.
"Cassie, calm the hell down, would you?"
I sighed in relief as I recognized the voice. "Curly what the hell." I snapped, turning to face him as he released his arm from around me. "Why were you chasing me?" I demanded, glaring at the miniature Tim.
"I thought you knew it was me." He replied with a shrug.
"If I knew it was you, than why would I keep running?"
"Because you knew it was me." I had to fight a smile when he said that.
I couldn't' help but think what a shame it was, he was probably gonna end up just like Tim, and the rest of his stupid gang. He was already well on his way to being just like them.
"What do you want?" I asked, folding my arms tightly against my chest.
"Borrow a few bucks."
"You are unbelievable." I said turning on my heal, and started to walk away.
"Wait."
I stopped, as he called after me, but kept my back towards him. "I'll walk with you." I turned back towards him, wondering if this was some sort of trick.
"Why?" I finally asked.
He gave a shrug. "I'm heading in the direction of your place anyway, you are going home aren't you?"
I gave a small nod.
"But if you rather get raped, or killed, makes no different to me." Curly started to walk past me, and I hesitated, before following after him.
He slowed down a little bit so I could catch up, and we walked side by side in silence. "You were coming from my house, huh?" Curly questioned, breaking the silence.
"Yeah." I answered.
I didn't want to think about what happened with Tim, until I could be in private and cry. It was bad enough he knew he had broken my heart, I didn't need his kid brother to know it too.
Neither one of us said anything else, until we got to the fence that surrounded the lawn of my house.
"Thanks for walking with me." I said looking up at him, noticing for the first time that his eyes were blue.
"I just wanted the losers who are out at this time, to see me with a hot chick." He had a slight smirk on his lips as he said this.
I was surprised as a giggle left my lips."You're out at this time, so I guess that makes you a loser." I pointed out with a small smile.
"You're out too." He returned, as he started to back away. "Ha ha, funny." I replied, as I watched him turn and walk off.
I couldn't believe that of all people Curly had been the one to make this night not as miserable as it once was.
I walked up to the front door, knowing it was time to face Darry. I took a deep breath, and walked inside.
