The last bell rang I quickly ran to my locker and pulled my leather jacket out I had to get to the Dx Station as fast as possible I had to wish my older brother good luck there was a rumble tonight and I always worried about him and the boy's as I stepped outside I shivered it was a cold October day I started to walk with ever car that past I prayed it wasn't Soc's I wasn't like most greaser I was small and weak I couldn't fight back the only thing I could do was run something I was luckily good at I started to get close to the lot I saw a blue mustang pull up beside me I bit my lip it was Bob the super Soc he'd be fighting in the rumble tonight he always did
"hey doll face" he said I knew he was trying to start something he stopped the car and got out I saw his switchblade in hand he smirked
"were going to have a little fun" he said walking closer I turned around and booked it as fast as I could I turned down a trail and climbed up a tree clinging to it I watched as bob and his friends ran up the trail they paused below the tree
"this way" bob yelled leading them down one of the trails I let out a sigh and stayed up in the Tree I soon saw Dall, Ponyboy and Johnny walking down the trail a smirk formed on my lips I climbed onto a branch they were to busy smoking to notice me I jumped down in front of them and screamed
"boo" they all jumped
"holy shit Juni don't do that!" said Pony holding his hand over his heart I giggled
"what the hell were you doing up in that tree kiddo" said Dallas putting me in a head lock and messing up my hair I bit his hand gently and he let go
"super Soc" i said simply and started to skip and twirl
"he didn't hurt you did he" Dallas said you could hear the anger and concern in his fast
"Juni like a cheetah" I said making weird pose making claws out of my hands and lifting a leg the chuckled
"that you are" said Dall draping his arm around me we walked to the Dx station and as soon as I saw Steve I bolted out from under Dall's arm ran at my brother full speed tackling him in a hug he looked up at me
"You're late" he said in his over protective tone I stood up and brushed my self off
"am not" I stated
"you are by half an hour" he stated firmly "what happened" he looked me dead in the eye's I saw Soda walk out of the store I ran over to him
"soda!" I yelled he wrapped his arms around me picking me up and spinning me
"hey Juni were have you been?" he asked raising an eyebrow I looked down then backed up
"well Super soc tried to start things again but I ditched him" I said
"Juni like a cheetah!" Johnny Added me and Pony laughed at his joke and Dall shook his head
"didn't touch you did he" Steve said in his over protective manner i rolled my eyes
"no" I said rolling my eyes I went over to the gas pump were soda was standing he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up on top the pump
"do you guys really gotta go fight tonight" I said looking down
"you know we gotta Juni we need everyman we can get" said Steve
"but Dally's like 3 guys in one and Dar he's superman!" I stated trying to argue they chuckled
"that may be so but we still gotta go" said Dall I pouted Soda patted my leg
"well be okay Jun you know that" he said giving me his Sodapop smile I couldn't help but smile back me and Soda gazed at each other
" your gonna be staying at Soda's while were at the rumble dad ain't home" said Steve pushing Soda out of the way and taking me off the pump
"If Two-bit ate all the damn cake again I swear to god i'm gonna ... i'm gonna..." The boy's all looked at me waiting for me to speak
"Ill get Dally to hit him" I said smiling the boy's all chuckled
"and I had my hopes up we'd finally get to see you deck someone" said Pony
"my little sis ain't a fighter she don't need to that's why she's got me" said Steve putting his arm around me protectively
"and my big brother has bad breath" I said pushing his face away the guys laughed we waited for Soda and Steve to get off work then headed to the Curtis house they were walking so slow I tried to push Steve to go faster but i wasn't working
"uhhg your to slow!" I yelled I pushed past them and ran ahead I only got to the stop sign when Steve yelled I looked back at them still walking there slow pace I sat down on the ground legs crossed with my elbows on my knees propping my head up as I sat there watching them get closer I couldn't help but think how good Soda looked in his Dx shirt and how badly I wanted to rip it off they all started to walk by me Soda was the last to and before he did he bent down grabbing my arm and side and picked me up throwing me over his shoulder
"really Soda c'mon!" I said he just chuckled I propped my head up using my elbows against this back I heard the gate to there house creek open I peeked to see everyone had gone inside and he was still walking I pushed my self up with one hand and used the other to spank soda
"giddy up horsey" I said he laughed and then slapped my ass gently
"nah I'm enjoying the view" he said I could hear the smirk on his face I couldn't think of a come back I just blushed I watched as the front porch steps passed and as we walked in the door I closed it behind him
"will you put her down man" said Steve Soda dropped me down onto the couch my leg's over the edge and my back on the cushions I sat like that for a while even when Soda and Steve came and sat on the couch next to me soon Darry came home they started to talk about the rumble I really wanted to see one
"hey Darry.." I said in the most innocent voice I had he looked at me with an eyebrow raised
"yes Juni" he asked suspiciously
"can I come watch" I asked with a grin I knew he'd say no but before he could even open his mouth Soda and Steve both shouted no beside me I flinched
"ok ok... I just thought Id ask gosh..." I flipped my self off the couch and went and sat on Two-bit's back he was In Mickey land he peeled his eyes away from the Tv to look up
"hey baby cakes" he said to me
"hey cake face" I said patting his head I started to get sucked into mickey-mouse It felt like only minutes had passed when I had to get off Two-bit because the rumble was going to start soon I hugged the boy's Soda was last he hugged me tight
"we'll be careful I promise" he said kissing my cheek then running out the door I watched as the boys hooted and hollered Steve did a back flip off the truck I shook my head and went back inside I headed to the kitchen and took out the chocolate cake I cut my self a piece and put it on a plate grabbing a fork I went to the living room and sat down I flicked threw the channels till I found 13 ghost's it was a horror movie something Steve never let me watch I put my cake down and ran to the fridge grabbing a coke before running to Soda's room I took his blanket and a pillow and walked back out to the living room I laid down on the floor elbows resting on the pillow he blanket around me and started watching the tv mindless eating my cake and drinking my coke as the movie progressed I felt my eye's being glued the screen with horror all the lights were off except the Tv I was shaking under the blankets biting the pillow suddenly the front door busted open I screamed louder then ever had in my life and hid under the blankets shaking all I could hear was howls of laughter the lights flicked on and I was still shaking I felt the blanket lifted off my head Two-bit fell to ground laughing seeing me shake Darry walked in and shook his head sitting down in his chair I crawled over to him with the blanket and pillow he picked me up and placed me on his lap holding me I was still shaking
"shut your trap's guy's you scared her half to death!" Darry Said sternly the boy's all calmed down
"no wonder she's terrified she was watching 13 ghosts alone" said Pony collapsing onto the couch I could see Steve looking at me I tried to look away
"I told you no horror flicks Juni" he said sternly I looked down Two-bit put it on Mickey-mouse and all the boy's started to talk about the rumble I felt my self slowly starting to drift off Soda must of noticed it cause I heard his voice speak quietly under the boy's loud one
"want me to take her Dar I ll go lay her in my bed" his voice was soft and calming Dar must of nodded cause I felt my arms being draped around his neck and he lifted me up carefully the blanket still wrapped around me I opened my eye's a little to see him looking down at me
"I didnt wake you did I?" he asked softly I shook my head and nuzzled him
"im glad you came back safe" I said quietly he put me onto the bed gently
"Promised i would Jun I better get out there before Steve thinks something happening" soda said with a chuckle I just nodded and curled up in his bed
"night Juni" he said softly
"night Sody" I said my eye's closing as I fell back asleep I had a horrible night mare about the dream I shot up quickly and heard a bang fallowed by an
"oww" I looked over the edge of the bed to see a shirtless Soda wearing nothing but boxers I looked down at him wide eye'd
"what was that about?" he asked sitting up
"I had a nightmare.. im sorry" I said quietly Soda smiled and stood up sitting next to me he pulled me to his chest it was warm and soft
"no need to fear Super soada's here" he said softly putting one hand out like a super hero I nudged him gently
"Darry's superman not you silly" i said he shrugged
"hey I tried" I giggled a little
"so how did you make this" I said point to me him and the bed "fly with Steve?" I asked him raising an eyebrow he let out a small awkward chuckle and rubbed his neck
"he may think I'm sleeping on the floor fully dresses" he avoided eye contact
"when you get in trouble i'm laughing at you" I said pulling the covers back over me and laying down
"ill take that as I do so at my own risk" he said getting under the blankets beside me he pulled me to him wrapping his arm around me tightly he nuzzled his face into the crook of neck and we both slowly fell asleep when I woke Soda was still holding me closely birds were chirping at it was just starting to get light out I gently rolled over
"soda" I whispered he groaned a bit I shook him gently he groaned again
"wake up soda" I said to him
"five more minutes" he groaned again I rolled my eyes
"get up right now Or I scream rape and all the boy's come in here and see you in nothing but your tighty whiteys" I threatened he sat up
"how can something so small and so darn cute be so damn evil" he said pinching my cheeks I nipped at him he laughed and got out of bed
"i'm gonna have a shower want to join?" he said playfully winking
"in you're wet dreams" I said sarcasticly laying back down and pulling the blankets over my head covering my blushing cheeks after an hour or so all I heard was
"belly flop" before being crushed under Two-bit I wiggled out form under him
"can't breathe" I managed to muster out he sat up a smirk on his face as he started to tickle me I squealed kicking my legs tears forming from the laughter
"help me" I pleased Soda came out of no were in nothing but a towel and tackled Two-bit to the ground they started to Wrestle I stood up
"im getting out of here before Soda looses his Towel" I announced running out the door as I got in the kitchen I saw the boy's eating chocolate cake for breakfast
"Darry " I whined
"new thing of peanut butter in the Cabinet kiddo don't worry I know you don't like cake for breakfast" he said I smiled happily and skipped to the kitchen I took the Jam from the fridge and put it on the counter taking out two pieces of bread before opening the peanut butter it was brand new the surface creamy and smooth I stuck my finger in curling it to get a blob and then stuck my finger in my mouth doing a little dance
"soda hurry up or we'll be late for work" yelled Steve his mouth full of cake I put some jam on my bread putting it together with the piece with peanut butter I then stuck my finger back in the peanut butter not really paying attention I went to put it in my mouth but m hand grabbed my wrist I looked just in time to See Soda sticking my finger in his mouth and licking the peanut butter off he pulled away and smirked
"thanks doll face" he said kissing my cheek then running off with my PB&J I glared at him for a moment
"SODA" I screamed he shut the door I stormed into the living room
"he steal your Sandwich again?" Asked Pony looking up from his book
"yes and for it i will get him back oh will I ever" I said glaring at the door Pony laughed I went and made a new sandwhich and sat there thinking nibbling it how would I get him back then I smirked
"two-bit" I said in a sweet innocent voice
"yes baby cakes?" he asked me looking up from the Tv
"help me get back at soda?" I asked he smirked
"oh you know I will"
"ha sure thing" he said i clapped happily jumping up I ran and quickly had a shower stealing on of Soda's shirts since it was the first one I could find I then went into the kitchen i filled a rather large bucket up with water then walked into the living room
"alright let's go" I said to Two-bit he smirked and took the bucket for me we headed for the station
"so what the plan?"
"sweet and simple you go in freaking out saying im crying and asking for Soda he comes out and bam i dump the water on him" I smiled
" I like it" he said we walked in silence the rest of the way I went and got set up standing on a stood out side the door were I couldnt be seen Two-bit got a running start he ran into the store seconds later a Soda ran out and as soon as the door closed I tipped the bucket over his head leaving him dripping wet head to toe I gently placed the bucket on his head jumping off the stool
"and that is what you get for stealing my sandwhich" I said walking in laughing as I walked in Steve looked at me confused
"I thought you were at the Curtis place up set?!" he asked I just smirked and walked over to Two-bit sitting on his lap
"in 3 2 annnd 1" I said and just on time Soda came bursting in the door still soaking wet holding the bucket in one hand two-bit and Steve burst out into laughter I sat there triumphantly Soda walked towards me
"come give me a hug Juni" he said smirking my eyes went wide I dodged him causing him to hug Two-bit who stopped laughing on complained he was soaked I stuck my tongue out at them running out the door I ran a little ways just out onto the side walk and then Bob's car pulled up his friends in the driver seat reached out for me just missing as I ran towards the store Soda came walking out .I hugged him tightly hiding behind him he looked down at me
"socs" I squeaked out he stood up straight in a defensive tone they started to walk towards us I opened the door and squeaked
"socs" with in seconds Two-bit and Steve were outside standing beside soda me hiding behind them
"what do you want" Spat Steve his voice with anger
"oh you know what we want Greaser" One of the Soc's said glaring at my brother
"get lost" said Two-bit
"well get lost when we get that pretty little thing hiding behind soda boy here" said Bob my eye's went wide I held onto soda tighter
"you will never get my sister Bob she's to good for you" Steve said spitting at Bob one of the Soc's were about to hit him Bob put his hands up
"Is that so Steve well I could give her anything she wanted she wouldn't have to wear you and your friends old hand me downs she could eat like a queen with me get a good education leave your trashy side of town" bob kept going on about how good he would be I felt Soda get tenser as Steve just looked away I took a deep breath and let go of soda standing infront of him he put a hand on my shoulder
"well well it seems she's agree's with me Greaser" bob said smirking
"shut your no good filthy pie hole you stupid Soc Id rather marry a rock then even have to sit next to you the dump on the hottest day of summer smells better then the colonge you wear as for my clothes I like them I like a whole lot better then that shit you'd have me where I dont need a good edcuation to be happy I dont need to be rich with money because Im rich with love and friendship something you will never have" I yelled at him and then I did something that shocked us all I slapped him straight across the face
"now get you and your dirty Ape friends the hell off our Turf right now or so help me god you will regret it" I said firmly they backed away and got in the car
"this ain't over Greasers!" bob yelled I finally let my breath out and turned to the guy's
"go baby cakes" said Two-bit pulling me in for a hug I looked over at Steve and Soda they didnt move they looked like Statues
"I think I broke them" I said poking soda he snapped out of it then looked at me
"that was very out of character" he said looking at me
"he was making Steve up set... no one makes my big brother upset but me!" I stated stomping my foot Two-bit and Soda laughed then headed in I walked over to Steve and hugged him
"don't feel bad" I said to him he stroked my back
"he was right tho Juni I cant take care of you I cant afford the things you need" he said sighing
"Steve I got everything I could ever need I got the best big brother he loves and cares about me I got a gang of greaser boy's who we both know would do anything for me that's all I need I dont need money and fancy cars not when I got love and friendship" Steve hugged me and we headed inside when I saw that Soda was still soaking wet I started to laugh they all looked at me
"sorry.. Soda's still soaked made me laugh" I said and before I could even react soda crushed me in a hug soaking me
"and now so are you" he said smiling
"yeah except you have a full day of work left and I can go home and change" I said tapping his nose and skipping out the door I the paused waiting for Two-bit we both then headed to my place to get me changed me and Two-bit slummed around the Town for most of the day before heading back to the Curtis place and as we reached the gate Soda, Steve Johnny and Pony were walking out
"hey we were just going to go get you guy's were heading to the park" said Pony
"Park" I screamed and started to jump around like a little kid "oh boy oh boy oh boy I love the park" I screamed
"We know" all the boy's said at once I smiled they headed to the park I walked into the middle of the group
"who gets the honours of carrying me up the hill" I asked with out notice soda stopped and bent down I squealed like a little kid I didn't actually think any one would carry me I wrapped my arms gently around his neck wrapping my legs around him he stood up holding my leg's and we caught up with the boy's when we got to the park they all took off I tried to get off Soda but he wouldn't let me instead he turned to the trail and started to walk
"soda I want to get a swing before there all taken"I whined he just chuckled
"I have something better in mind" he said gently letting me down then gently pinning me to a tree one of his hands on it the other on my waist I opened my mouth to ask what when his soft lips came plummeting down on mine
