The Dark Secret Chapter 2
I scrambled up desperate to get away. The rain had frozen every part of me. I felt numb everywhere, lightning flashed in the sky and I got a flash of one of the socs faces. His hair was wheat blonde and it was clinging to his head. His eyes had a wild look in them, and that scared me then thunder roared in the background. I backed away from him the three socs were still standing behind him in a zigzag position. I took a deep breath and sprinted trying to get past them, the rain pounded on my face, and I felt a whipping of the wind slapping my face. I made it past one of the socs just two more. I heard the plumb face soc scream for them to catch me.
I thought I was home free, but a soc grabbed my shirt painfully yanking me back. It was plumb face, I mentally swore at him. He was glaring down at me, clearly not impressed by the stunt I pulled. I wasn't done trying to get away he snarled at me lifting me higher, this guy was really strong. I didn't even think Darry and Dally together could take him down. Darry! I forgot about my brothers, God knew what they were thinking right now. It was pouring out here, and I knew I was well after curfew, just by the stars I knew that.
I was flung out of my thoughts; the soc had asked me something. I just glared at him he gave a twisted smile.
"Well greaser? You are going to help us or what?"
I blinked, trying to see if I heard him right. A soc? Wanted me to help him? Yeah right. I didn't believe it for a second. Even if it was true I'd never risk my neck for the people who jump us greasers just because they're bored. I gave a harsh laugh, or what I hoped was a harsh laugh. I was still shaking, then I spat at him. His eyes narrowed into thin slits, then he whipped me, I felt the hard impact of the wall. I dropped to the ground like a ton of lead struggling to get the wind back in me.
But I knew this was my chance. I jumped up and sprinted off. Stars danced before my eyes and my head pounded but my main parity was getting away. I could pass out later, I heard the soc shout out, but I didn't see the car coming for me. I ran and ran, it got harder to see but I kept pushing my body, I ran until I was in Greaser Territory, my heart was pounding in my chest so hard I half expected it to fly right out.
The rain started pounding down again. I struggled to stay conscious, but part of mind wouldn't mind just dropping dead here and now. I was so cold, I felt numb from the inside and out. My body ached from the damn wall, and my head pounded. My guess from the wall and being tossed, around like a rag doll. I stopped and looked around; I was in the park, I half smiled. Then stopped fighting, I let go of whatever was keeping myself conscious then let my body drop to the ground.
The grass caught me like a bed. I rolled onto my back, the rain still fit my face but this time it felt soothing. I knew now that I was down I wasn't getting back up and I didn't want to. Soon I drifted off, away from the cars rushing by and from the rain. For the first time that night, I was in a small form of bliss.
