Hey guys, this is a change. Im tired of doing twilight stories so expect Glee, Outsiders, Vampire Diaries and True Blood!

I dont own Outsiders blah blah blah! Enjoy!

"Wake up Dawn!" I heard my older brother Darry call out.

I'm Dawn Lilac Curtis, I've just turned 15 and I've got 2 older brothers and 1 younger brother, Darrelaka Darry who's 20, Sodapop is 16 and Ponyboy is 14. Our parents died 8 months ago in a car wreck...Darry got granted as our guardian, he's not suppose to have all this responsibility He works 2 jobs when he should be in college playing football and getting drunk and getting laid! Sodapop dropped out of school so now he works at the DX full time but he's only 16. Ponyboy is the only one that has a chance of getting out of this judgmental town. He gets A's in everything, he's in high school cause he got to skip grades because of his IQ. I never really showed interest in school but Darry spoke to me one day about school and he made me hope full that i could get out of here one day but after a while of tests and more boring lessons i started to give up again. I enjoyed high school cause i got to be with some of the guys in my classes.

It isn't just me and my brothers, we have friends who are practically family. There's Steve Randle who has been Soda's best friend since grade school, Steve has a togh home, he lives with his father who gets drunk and kicks him out every few nights and he stays here. The you have Two Bit who is 18 but is still a senior because he never took school serious, i asked him why didn't he just drop out but he just said it was to much fun to annoy the teachers and poke fun at the stupid good for nothing Socs. I know us greasers ain't anything special but we have to work for our money and grades, all they have to do is flash a few bucks to the teacher and they get an A and where do they get that money? Mommy and Daddy.

Dallas Winston is another one from our group, he's been in and out of jail since he was 10. He lived in New York for a while until he decided to give Tulsa a try. He got a big reputation round here. Know one wants to mess with Dally unless they don't know him and decide to give him a go and push his buttons. Last guy that did that ended up with 3 broken ribs, broken nose and a black eye. Dally got 5 weeks in the cooler. Last but not least you have Ponyboy's best friend and the glue to the whole gang, Johnny Cade aka Johnnycake. He's got the worst home out of all of us, i mean sure Dally has no family in Tulsa and his old man don't give a hang about him but that don't bother Dally, Two Bit lives with his mom and his sister, His mom ain't no drunk and his little sister ain't no crazy whore. She's 11 and adorable, one of my best friends. Johnny's home...there are no words horrible enough to describe his parents and how he's treated. He's ignored by his drunk mom and beaten by his always drunken dad. He practically lives here which i don't mind. Oh yeah. I got a huge crush on Johnny! I know some people would smooth that in but im gonna say it loud and proud-but of course not in front of anyone. I LOVE JOHNNY CADE!...okay moving on.

I've known these guys since the day i was born and since mom and dad died we have been like a family. no. We ARE family.

"Wake up Dawn come on!" Darry yelled again (A/N- She shares a room with Sodapop and Ponyboy, she has a bed at the end of the room in front of ), I got up and dragged my way into the kitchen where Sodapop, Ponyboy, Steve, Two Bit and...Johnny. (permission to faint please!)

"Here's your breakfast" Darry said, handing me a plate of two pieces of bacon, egg and hash browns. Darry sat down with us and started eating too.

"Wheres Dally?" I asked. All at once they said "Cooler"

"Oh" I said and started eating again. We talked for a few more minutes until Darry put his plate in the sink and said he had to go to work.

"Soda, Steve you need a ride to work?" Darry asked, they nodded and walked out with Darry saying there goodbyes. Soda gave me a kiss on the head like he always does.

"So what we doing today ya'll" Two Bit smiling.

"Um..Two Bit its Friday so we have school." I said laughing and taking their plates and putting them in the sink. I could see Johnny smiling in the corner of my eye.

"Ah shoot kid lets ditch." He said.

"Two Bit you know Darry will skin us if we ditch school." Ponyboy said, grabbing his books. I ran into our bedroom and threw on some peddle pushers, flats and a white t-shirt with my favourite denim jacket. I put my hair in a ponytail and ran back out where they were waiting with my books.

"I'll see y'all later" Two Bit yelled walking the opposite direction to us.

"Wait!" I yelled out to Two bit he turned around.

"Please come to school with us. I need someone to keep me company in maths, you know that." I said, using my best 100 and what smile.

"Ah, OK kid lets go" I smiled and we walked back to Johnny and Ponyboy.

"How do you do that" Johnny asked, his arm brushing up against mind. I swear i just felt electric shoot through my arm at the contact.

"Um..I don't know...I guys I'm just good at it" I smiled at him, i could look into those dark brown eyes all day, he smiled at me and my heart raced faster if that's even possible. We made it into school, mine and Johnny's lockers were right next to each other. We grabbed our english books and headed to English with Pony, Two bit had history.

We sat down right in the back where us greasers sit. I sat in between Johnny and Ponyboy.

"So did you do the homework man?" Ponyboy asked Johnny, our english teacher wasn't here yet, he was always somewhat late. Rumour has it that he's having a little rub 'n' rub with the couch but then again i doubt it. It was Two-bit who started it.

"No, man i can't even get anything done in the place i gotta call home. Plus i don't understand any of it." He siad looking down at his worn pencil.

Suddenly i had the most utterly brilliant idea i've ever had.

"I can tutor you if you want Johnny" I said, trying to hide my nervous/excitement in my voice.

"Um, sure." He said, smiling. "Thanks"

"No problem. Just wanna make sure you go into senior year with the rest of us." I said smiling. Soon after came into the room holding folders and files of crap. The hour went by kinda fast.

Soon it was lunch, we always went down to the dingo for lunch, we try to avoid the fights that go on in the cafeteria between the greasers and socs. Myself, Two-bit, Johnny and Ponyboy started walking to the dingo but soon a t-bird pulled up. We thought it was gonna be somebody looking for a fight but when i decided to look at the driver i smiled.

"Hey Dally!" I said, climbing into the back of the car.

"Hey Dal." The boys said smiling.

"What you doing out of the cooler Dal?" Ponyboy asked sitting next to me and Two-bit in the back and Johnny in the front.

"Shit man i was only in over night, got in a drunk fight with Shepherd. Kept us both over night." Dally said driving towards the Dingo.

We entered the dinner and took a free booth. We ordered our food and starting on our drinks.

"So you with Sylvia again Dal?" Two-bit asked taking a swig of his beer.

"Nah man. She was just some broad. Got myself a new girl. Lexi, man she's defiantly not Sylvia." He smiled, drinking his beer too.

"What makes her diffrent to all your other pick ups?" I asked smirking, me and Ponyboy playing hangman on a napkin.

"She's better than them. I dunno, just something bout her makes me actually care bout her." He smiled. Dally actually smiled at the thought of his new girl. wow he must actually care bout this Lexi.

"Ah, one of Bucks party's last Monday. One guy from Tim's outfit was bothering her, so i took care of him and before i knew it we were making out." He laughed a bit. We talked about Lexi and Two-Bits long time Girlfriend Kathy (which is a surprise cause he goes through girls like a obese kid and chocolate)

Soon it was back to school. When we had free period i took the time to help Johnny on the questions i didnt get for maths, I know you'd think i would go for a kiss or flirt but in school isnt the time pls when you got your younger brother there it kinda pops your bubble.

We were walking home, Two-Bit had gone to Kathy's so it was just me, Johnny and Pony.

We were just minding our own business until a red mustang pulled up and started following us.

"Hey greasers!" The one in the passenger side yelled. We just ignored them and continued walking, we weren't that far from home much i wished we were there already, Johnny was almost shacking beside me. Honestly i don't know what came over me but before i knew it i was taking Johnny's hand in mine. It was just a little gesture to tell him everything was gonna be fine.

"I said GREASERS!" He yelled louder. We walked faster, i saw out house in sight. I let out a breath of relief. But i kinda let it out to soon. The car stopped and they stumbled our of their car drunkenly. Crap. We kept on walking until i was pulled back b y one of them, making my hand pull away from Johnny's hand. I felt a cold blade against my neck.

"You stupid greasers got no manners." He spat.

"Let go of my sister!" Ponyboy yelled. Him and Johnny were being held back by 2 other of the soc's.

"Your sister? Well what is she to you then grease?" The blond guy asked stilling holding a blade to my neck. Johnny was terrified he was stumbling on his words. I knew if Johnny didn't say anything soon i was done.

"She's my girl" He managed to get out. I looked at Johnny with a puzzled look. I know its the wrong time to be happy that he told them i was his girl and i knew he was only doing it in chance to scare them but they just laughed.

"A girl like this going out with a thing like you?"

"Shut your trap!" I spat, i felt the cold slice into my skin just below my collar bone.

"AAAHH!" I screamed. Ponyboy tried to get free but the soc had him in a vice grip.

"Say one more thing whore and it'll be your neck next time." He sneered into my ear.

"We know Dallas Winston so you better watch it!" Johnny yelled.

"No pal you better watch it, and what is some jail bird gonna do to us." Blondy sneered, he sholdn't of said that.

"He's gonna do this." Dally said, punchy the shit turd to the ground. The soc's let go of Johnny and Ponyboy and went to try and get Dally. Biggest mistake of their life.

Dally probably just got a whack in the stomach but those socs probably had a few broken ribs, broken nose and cracked knuckles. They ran off with their friend that cut me and drove off yelling curses and threats as they drove of like the cowards the soc's were and always will be.

"Hey you kids okay?" Dally said, checking my cut. It wasn't deep but it stung like a mother.

"You okay Dawn?" Johnny said coming close to me.

I smiled "Yeah, Thanks Johnnycake." I kissed his cheek

"I didn't really do anything." He blushed

"Still, you tried. To me you saved me." I smiled at him.

We walked into the house where Dally was on his armchair reading the newspaper and Soda was sitting with Sandy watching I Love Lucy.

"What happened to you?" Darry said, putting his newspaper down and checking my cut.

"Couple of drunk socs got hold of us. I'm fine its not deep." I smiled, patting his arm. I went and sat down next to Soda resting my head of his shoulder.

"Tired?" Soda asked. Putting his other arm round me.

"mmyeah. Trying to fight free from a soc really takes it outta ya." I mumbled.

"Its a good thing Dally came along when he did" Sandy said, cuddled under Soda's other arm. For some reason Soda was the nicest pillow for us. Whenever me or Pony are tired we always rest our head or cuddled up to Soda. He was just the lovable brother you could ever want.

"How did you know Dally saved us?" I asked raising my head and scrunching my eyebrows.

"Honestly Dawney, If Dallas was with you in the first play you would have been home ages ago." She giggled. I laughed too. Me and Sandy were good friend, I preferred her to Evie. Evie is great don't get me wrong she funny and respects Steve but she dresses loud like the usual greasers but me and Sandy we different. We just dressed in jeans or peddle pushers. We only wear skirts if its a party of something but to go to school in low cut tops and skirts that might as well be belts is crazy.

"You go homework?" Darry asked me and Pony, who by the way was using me as a pillow. I wrapped my arm around him and i was so ready to go to sleep.

"No." Me and Pony said.

"Check out the sleeping beauty's over there" I heard Dally smirk.

"Come on Dawn, lets get that cut cleaned up." I got p with a groan and followed Dally into the kitchen where he had the dis-infection stuff. He dabbed it on with a cotton wool. I hissed at the sting but soon it went when Dally placed a bandage over it.

"Aww. Unicorns!" I smiled. We had or own bandades. I had smiley face ones and hearts and unicorns and Pony and Soda had cars. Just call us the Coo coo Curtis's.

"God, your just like Soda. You get happy over the smallest things." He chuckled putting the medical box back in the cupboard. I laughed too and walked back to the coach. Pony had took my place and Dally was sitting next to him. I walked over to them and sat down on Dally's lap.

"Ey, what you doing kid." Dally said.

"I'm sitting in my seat." I smirked. Soon i was falling and whacked to the floor.

"Oww!" I yelled. "No need to be fucking rude!"

"Well don't sit on me then i wont be fucking rude!" He shouted back.

"Stop it you to!" Darry walked in. "Dawn don't sit on people without permission and don't throw her on the floor." He scowled harder at Dally then he did at me. Ha! Darry sat down in his armchair and Johnny was squeezed next to Sandy. He looked a bit uncomfortable and kept look at Soda side ways to see if he was glaring at him. Soda wasn't;t paying no mind. He didn't care. Just like no body cared about where i could sit.

"So where am i suppose to sit!" I squealed.

"The floor." Dally said. I went for him, I started hitting him on the chest and trying to knee him. Dally just held my wrists.

"Dawn stop it!" Darry yelled. Everyone looked at me and i ran into my room and slammed the door as hard as i could. Shit, i was that time of the month again. I'm not usually this bad but after almost getting killed by a Soc just makes it worse. I was crying on my bed thinking bout my mom. If she was here she'd know what to do. She can give me that talk about how us girls always go through this and then she'd take me shopping and we'd watched I Love Lucy while eating cupcakes, chips and drinking Pepsi. I missed mom so much my heart literally ached by the thought of her and dad. I was cry my wrenching heart out my i heard a soft voice at the door. At first i thought it was mom and id actually gone crazy but when i turned to the door Sandy was standing there.

"Can i come in?" She said softly. I nodded. She closed the door and sat at the end of my small bed.

"You wanna talk about it?" She said.

"About what?"

"Girl problems."

"How did you know?.."

"Dawney imma girl to" she giggled "I know when a girl's going through that time" She smiled.

"Its just difficult." I sniffled sitting up. "Honestly living in a house full of boys isn't the exact dream. I just miss my mom-" I cut off flooding out more tears. "She was just there for me when i went through this."

"I know what you mean." She sighed.

"You mom died?" I asked, sorrowfully.

"No, not exactly. My mom is always out looking for the latest guy to bring home. She gets drunk and sometimes forgets him even there." Her tears started to fall down her face.

"What do you 'Noy exactly'?" I asked.

"When I was 13 my step-dad was a drunk and he'd cheat on my mom and she knew it but she never left him. Back then my mom was no nice, she'd have her own garden outside and she wouldn't give a damn about who was a soc and who was a greaser. She thought everyone was equal. But my step-dad started to drink in the day now and he got abusive. He never layed a hand on me but he beat my mom every night and I knew the more he hit her the more she was losing her happy, lovable self. It was like with every hit the kindness was flying out of her. One day he up and left. We never saw him again thankfully but my mom had died that day. She was never her nice self...she was a greaser mom. The mom who gets drunk, does every guy. Wanna know something? but promise not to tell anyone."

I nodded.

"One day, i came back from school and she was doing Tim Shepherd on our couch. TIM SHEPHERD! He's 18 and my mom is 38!" The tears started coming out again. Wow, i never knew Sandy had a bad home life. She was always happy.

"I never knew you had a home like that. Yor always happy" I said.

"Cause I'm with Soda." She smiled through her tears. "He knows everything and he makes me forget everything bad. He's the one making me happy. Just Soda. Plus being here with you guys cause i feel part of a family." She smiled. I hugged her tight.

"Okay enough about me. What about you. Time to spill your guts girlie" She giggled, whipping his tears away.

" I'm not depressed with my life i mean having my parents die was the most depressing and tragic thing that's happened in my life. I love my brothers and the guys and of course you, Evie and Kathy but its frustrating that i can't go to Darry and asked him to take me shopping for my girl stuff cause i know he's 20 and he responsible but he still a guy. I can't say anything around the guys case they would poke fun at me."

"Soda wouldn't" She smiled, tucking a peice of my long brown hair behind my ear.

"neither would Johnny." I smiled at his name. I saw a imaginary light bulb click on top of Sandy's head.

"You...you like Johnny!" She quietly squealed. I blushed but smiled and nodded.

"For how long!"

"Since I've been a teenage girl" I chuckled. "Today when we got in with them socs one of them asked what i was to Johnny and he said i was his girl. That was the happiest I've ever been though i knew he never meant it" My smile fading.

"How do you know that? He could like you! in fact i know he does" She smiled

"What?"

" Come on! I've seen the way he smiles at you and he laughs at every funny thing you say. Plus do you know what he said when she were in here?" I shook my head

"He said he hoped you weren't upset with him. I don't know why but i think he thought you would be upset with him cause he never gave up his seat for you." I grinned "So see. He does like you!" She said.

"Come on. Lets go and ask the guys if they want to have a fun night. We all need it." She said, pulling me and giving me a sisterly hug.

"Thanks Sandy. I really needed that."

"Me too. Lets make it a thing. We tell each other everything, so we know we won't go tell everyone like Evie does and we'll feel better knowing we've got someone there for us." She smiled. I nodded. We walked out to see Evie and Steve sitting on the floor with Kathy and Two-bit.

"Hey guys sorry for earlier and sorry Dally for lashing out at you." I said.

"Don't worry bout it kid. I didn't feel a thing." he smiled

"Jerk" I said smiling. We shared a short but nice hug.

"Okay guys so you wanna go out tonight!" Sandy said happily from Soda's lap.

"I don't know. I got work tomorrow plus i don't want those three out at this time aafter earlier today."

"Oh come on Darry, its a Friday plus there's a bunch of us so i doubt they would even try a move" Ponyboy said pleading. Darry thought it over for moment then sighed and nodded

"Okay then"

We all shouted happily and made our way outside. Darry locking the door aafter him.

"Hey Dawn, can i talk to you for a minute?" Johnny asked nervous.

"Sure" I smiled excitedly.
