Home Chapter 1
Disclaimer - I'm only doing this one time, because I hate these things lol. The outsiders does not belong to me, if they did I would have money which I don't. So please don't sue because I can't afford it! There, with that over with..
When I was younger I'd wish to go back to Tulsa, but never really thought I would. The only thing there left to miss was my friends, and I'd lost contact with them a year after moving to Massachusetts.four years ago now.
I came here to live with rich relatives, which was quite the culture shock. My cousins took me in when my parents died, in the same car crash that my friend's parents had died in. They had an older brother and stayed together in Tulsa, least I think its still that way. My cousins wanted me to have absolutely no contact with those "JDs" back home. At first I rebelled against this..but there was just too much pain in Tulsa. So eventually I let them go and they let me go; I hope to this day that they understood. But now my life was in upheaval again. My cousins had passed away the April before my high school graduation. We were never really close, not really a family. They took me in because I had no where else to go. They were always very generous to me and broke me of many old habits and made a lady out of me, a tough feat for anyone, considering. They left me with a lot of money though, enough to live off the interest alone and never touch the principal. I stayed with a friend until graduation and then took a job at a summer camp over the summer so I'd have somewhere to live. You must be wondering what I planned to do after that job was over and I was back on my own right? I had applied to a number of colleges and universities that year and had been accepted to many of them, and with money not being a factor I could go anywhere. I finally decided that with all the traumatic events over the last 4 years maybe what I needed was to go home. I gave it a lot of thought and eventually decided to go to the University of Okalahoma at Tulsa. I had no intentions of contacting my friends - that was a part of my life and a way of life that I had no interest in going back to. I did however miss the place itself, not the people really, but the countryside located not far out of Tulsa. Ponyboy and I had..no that was a long time ago, and like I said I wasn't going there for them, but for me.
