Nothing is Safe
Chapter 1: The Jumping
Two-Bits P.O.V. (Point Of View)
"Ouch!" screamed Ponyboy. "You alright?" I asked laughing and helping him up at the same time. "Yeah, but I could of sworn we were playin touch football and not tackle football." he said. "Sorry pony, I tripped." I said. "Hey does anyone know what time it is?" I asked. " Its 10:30." Darry said checking his watch. I figured I had better get goin even though I didn't have to be home until whenever. "Well, I'll see you guys later." I said. "Alright Two-Bit. See ya tomorrow." Soda said. "You can count on that." I said grinning.
As I was walking down the street, I heard a noise behind me that sounded like footsteps. As I looked back I saw nothing so I kept on walking. Then about a minute later I heard the same noise again. This time I figured that I should turn back towards the lot, 'cause something didn't feel right. Just as I was about at the block where the lot was, I heard the noise again but louder. Almost as suddenly as I heard it, I got tackled into the allyway where I was standing near. I got up right away and then saw that there had been five socs trailing me. I knew that I was out-numbered so I thought about running for it. I mean even I'm smart enough to know that I couldn't win this fight. There was nowhere to run though. Since I couldn't run I started to reach into my pocket to get my blade only to find out that it wasn't there. 'Crap' I thought. Now I really dont have a chance of winning this fight. Just as I was about to say something, I got tackled by a soc again and then he started to slug me across the face. As I punched him back I got loose from his grip. I got back up and saw a piece of pipe laying on the ground so I picked it up. Then I got tackled again and I hit the two socs holding me down. As I get back up for the third time, I got shoved into a wall with my arm behind my back causing the pipe to fall out of my hand. "Let go of me now you little...!" I couldn't finish my sentence because I felt a pain over come me. As I fell to the ground I heard someone call my name, then I blacked out.
Ponyboy's P.O.V
I decided to walk to the Dingo with Dally and Johnny 'cause it wasn't a school night. Darry and Soda were walking back to the house and Steve had decided to go home. When we were walking near an allyway, we all heard a crash. "What was that?" I asked having this odd feeling. "Dont know. Lets check it out" Dally said. As we looked around the corner we saw a person being shoved up against the wall by a soc. The person started to say something but it was cut short because the person got clubed in the back of the head with a piece of pipe. As the person fell to the ground I realized who it was. "Two-Bit!" I shouted. Then all the attention was turned to us three. Dally and Johnny must have also noticed that we were out-numbered because they pulled their blades. "Pony, go get your brothers." Dally said. "Why me!" I half asked half shouted. "Cause you're the fastest runner out of us! Now GO!" Dally shouted. The next thing I knew Dally and Johnny had gone and joined the fight and I had gone to get my brothers. I didn't even have to go that far, because as I turned the corner I saw Darry and Soda still walking to the house. I started to run even faster cause I knew that if I didn't hurry up something bad would probably happen.
