Pony's P.O.V
Soda had his arm around me and I was shakin slightly. All I could think was, 'Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.' I couldn't cry in front of Johnny. Compared to what he got I should be happy and laughin. And I don't even want to think about what Darry'd do. I felt a hand lift my chin up and touch my neck. "Damn. Guess your lucky. Coulda been worse. Fuckin Socs…" The voice trailed off in a steam of cuss words. It was a female voice with a strong Mississippi drawl. Samantha.
She was the only girl in our gang but was as tough as Dally. She was 19 and barely as tall as me. Darry always said she was a little spit fire with the biggest heart you'd ever see. I grinned at her. "Aw I'm fine. It's just a scratch." I was trying to put on a brave face for the gang. I couldn't let them see how shaken I really was. Hearing what I said Darry started in on me. "You don't think! If you couldn't get someone to go with you you could have at least carried a blade!" Soda came to my defense saying that would have just given them an excuse to cut me more.
Samantha cut in before things got to outa hand. "Alright the both of you shut up. Don't do no good to yell. Soda's right. It's better he didn't have a blade. Now lay off Pony. Aint his fault he got jumped." Darry looked like he very much wanted to hit something, but just went in the house and slammed the door instead. I looked gratefully to Samantha and Soda. They just smiled and Soda ruffled my hair. "I better go check on Superman. He's probably mighty sore at me." And she walked in the house.
Soda walked over towards Steve, who looked bout ready to kill me. "What the hell were you doing walking by yourself!" He yelled at me.
"None of your business." I snapped back. "It is my business you little smartass! Look at my nose!" He made a gesture to his nose which was bleeding and bruised. Before I could stop myself I replied, "It's huge." He growled and lunged at me but Two-Bit caught him. "Lay off Baby will ya. He cant help it he tells the truth."
I giggled and peeked around Two-Bit's arm to Steve. He glared down at me but one look from Soda and Two-Bit made him lay off. Suddenly Dally and Johnny popped up smoking and laughin. "Hey Johnnycakes." I said smiling at the dark haired boy. "Hey Pony." He said back in his quiet voice. "What's up Dal?" He nodded back to me. Then went to say something but was cut off by a yell coming from the house. Oh joy. Darry and Samantha are at it again.
~What*They*Heard*From*The*House~
"Why don't you just stay the fuck out of it!" Darry.
"Because I have as much say with them boys as you do god damnit!" There goes Samantha.
" That don't fucking mean you gotta stick your nose in every god damn thing!" Darry again.
"When it comes to them boys it does!" Samantha.
"Jesus do you have to be such a nosy bitch?" We heard a slap and Darry yell, "Fuck! What the fuck was that for!"
"That was for calling me a bitch you little fucker!"
~What*They*Heard*From*The*House~
"I swear those two fight like a couple of dogs. Samantha has to be the only person I know who can make that man curse like that." Dally said. Me and Soda looked guiltily at each other. We knew they were fightin about us again. They did often.
Darry's P.O.V
God she made me mad and she god damn knew it. We were both breathing heavy from our fighting. She cleared her throat but when she spoke it was still hoarse.
"Look Darry, I know you don't like it when I step in like that, but if I don't yall will never stop yellin. And I know that's not how you want Baby to see yall." I know that to, but I hate when you point it out. I still glared at her but was slowly calming down.
She sighed and walked over to me wrapping her small arms around my waist. He nuzzled her face into my chest and mumbled, "I'm sorry. Please don't be mad." I sighed and wrapped my arms around her as I relaxed. "I'm sorry to. I shouldn't have yelled at you or called you a bitch." She looked up and smiled. I smiled back and leaned down kissing her lightly. She kissed me back keeping it gentle as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "I love you Darry." "I love you to Samantha."
Dally's P.O.V
I'll never admit it, but I hate hearing those to fight. They both have tempers that are ready to flare up at any minute, and were usually the ones who each other fired up. Pony and Soda looked mighty upset. Hell I would be to. They always have to hear those to fight about them.
I caught Steve's eye and nodded at Soda. He nodded and pulled soda away as I pulled Pony onto my lap. Johnny walked away pretending to go talk to Two-bit. I knew he was trying to give us some privacy.
I wrapped my arms around Pony as he curled up in my lap, and laid his head on my shoulder. "What's wrong Baby?" I knew the answer. I just wanted him to say it so then he would feel better. He sighed. "I just hate it when they fight. Especially when its over me and Soda. Darry only yells at us cause that's his way of showing he's worried. We know that.
"But Samantha knows if she doesn't step in and make him stop, things'll only get worse. Then he gets more pissed off. I just wished they'd talk instead of yelling at each other." He sounded so helpless. I never knew it bothered him this much.
Pony's P.O.V
"It'll be ok kid. Shoot they only fight cause Bambi has a fuse about as long as she is tall, and Darry aint much better." I laughed lightly. That was the truth. Bambi (that's Samantha's nickname) had a short temper and so did Darry. Dal was right. It'd be ok. I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek. He gave me a small smile back before he kissed my forehead. Dally was only like this with me and Johnny and Bambi. Only I think it means something different with Johnny.
Soda's P.O.V
I felt Steve's hand grab mine as he led me around to the back of the house. I looked up at him when we got back there, silently asking him 'What?'. he gave me a look that I knew meant, 'You know what. Don't play dumb'. I sighed. "I just don't like it when they fight is all. They're always at each other's throats about something." I told him.
He nodded and wrapped his arms around me. I leaned my head on his chest and smiled as I felt his fingers run through my hair. I loved it when Steve was like this. All loving and cuddly. "It'll be ok buddy." I looked up and kissed his cheek letting him know I was ok.
He went to pull away but I pulled him back. "Nooo." I was whining but I couldn't find it in me to care. I felt his laugh rumble through his chest causing me to smile. "You always were a hugger." He told me. I mumbled into his chest but still didn't move. All he did was laugh in response. Golly I loved his laugh. Hell I loved everything about him. I'd come to terms with the fact that I was in love with my best friend when I was 14.
It didn't bother me to think like this anymore. I felt him nuzzle his face into my hair and kiss my forehead. "Love you Soda." Not like I want you to. "Love you to Stevie." More than you'll ever know.
