-Ponyboy's POV-

It was close to 1am by the time the movie we were watching finished. All of us Greasers left the drive-in and started heading to the park. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned my head. Johnny stared at me, his eyes going wide. "What's the matter, Johnny?" He gulped and stopped walking.

"I-I heard a scream from ahead." The whole gang stopped their conversations and stared at Johnny.

"What'cha talking about, Johnnycake?" Dally said, pulling out a cancer stick and lighting it.

Johnny pointed a head where I could just barely make out a few figures standing over something. We all looked at each other and ran up to the people. There were 4 Socs, one with a switch blade in hand, standing over that something. Well, turns out that that something was a young girl. She was lying on her stomach, grunting in pain. I could see a pool of a glistening crimson liquid was coming out from her side. The Socs say us and ran to safety in their fancy sports cars. With a screech of tires on pavement, they rode away.

Darry bent down and carefully flipped her onto her back. She was a greaser girl and one I knew well. The girl held onto her bleeding side and smiled thru the pain. "Hello, Ponyboy and Two-Bit." The others raised their eyebrows in confusion. I noticed that Two-Bit's jaw dropped. He bent down to her side.
"Roxanne…Are you okay?" For once, Two-Bit was serious. He has his moments.

"Roxanne goes to our high school. She's in Two-Bit's grade. They're good friends." I took the liberty of explaining the situation to them.

"Two-Bit, you know better than to call me by my formal name!" She smiled at him. "Damn Socs. Took my switch blade and stabbed me."

Johnny tried to look away from the blood. "Are you going to be okay?"

"Hell if I know. I ain't a doc." Roxanne, er-Roxy, took her hand off her wound and examined it.

"Here," Two-Bit picked Roxy up wedding style. "We'll take you to the hospital."
Dally nudged me in the ribs as Two-Bit led the way.
"What's up with him?"
He chuckled. "Two-Bit's got a big ol' crush on her. I mean BIG TIME." Dally stared at me with big eyes and smirked.
"Wait," Soda popped his head in between us. "Doesn't he only go after blondes? She's got brown hair."
"From what he told me, Roxy's the only exception." Two-Bit was taking such long strides that he was way in front us that I didn't bother to whisper.

"She seems nice for a Greaser girl." Steve pitched in.
"Yeah, well she dresses with more class then most Greaser girls. And she's not sleazy at all. She is really funny too." I kicked a rock on the rode as we all walked. It took a few minutes before we reached the hospital.
"You guys don't have to stay. I'll be fine." Roxy said, still in Two-Bit's arms.
Two-Bit puffed out his chest to look gallant. "Yes, gentlemen. I will stay and accompany this fair maiden."
We all laughed, including Roxy. "Oh hush up; I was talking to you too." She playfully slapped him.
"But really, you guys head home. I'll make sure she's fine." Two-Bit wasn't going to leave even if the hospital was on fire.

Johnny looked like he was about to say something but he stopped when he noticed that Roxy passed out in Two-Bit's arm. He ran inside to get her some medical attention. The rest of us just slinked off and went back home.
