iHey,sorry if this story sucks at all,this is my first time writing a story based off of a book. I have written my own stories on quizilla, I decided to do a story on here though. I'm going to do this as like,a prequel or whatever. I'll probably be publishing "Nothing Gold Can Stay" on here to,which is what I'm already writing and its basically the whole book from Johnny Cade's POV.

This story is told from all of the greasers point of views at some point,most of the time it'll be Ponyboy,Johnny, or Dally's POV though.

I'm just saying,don't get all pissed if its a little out of character. Its not going to be dramatically out of character though,Ponyboy's not going to be a vampire who loves a stupid airhead girl (ha ha ;p) and Dally's not going to fall in love with kittens. If its out of character at all it'll only be a little bit,like he'll say something that he might not have really said. Some parts will be out of character but not the whole thing. So I guess if you want the characters to be in perfect character don't read this.

Well,i don't expect this to get very far or be very popular but lets start anyway! Woo hoo!

i do not own any of the characters or Tulsa. I wish I did though ;)

Ponyboy's POV

I pushed my face deeper into the pillow,not allowing the rays of sunlight that were coming in my window to hit my face. The smell of shampoo and fabric softener filled my nose. It was too early. Too early to get up and move around,all I needed was ten more minutes of sleep...thats all I needed.

"Wake up kid." It looks like I'm not getting those ten more minute. I knew it was Darry, only he'd be awake this early.

"Why?It's Saturday...." my voice was muffled by the pillow. I was exhausted. I had gone out with Dallas and Curly last night. It's not like I got drunk or anything, but Dallas and Curly did and that's what caused all the awkwardness and embarrassment of the night. I didn't get home until late, I wonder if Darry was still mad.

"I have to go to work and you have to get up and do some chores around here. I don't have the time." He explained. I groaned and rolled over. I tried to open my eyes but the amount of sunlight coming in caused me to quickly close them again. I opened them a little bit,using my hand as a visor to block some of the sun.

"Can't I just do them later?" I gave up with trying to look at him and rolled on my side,facing Soda's back.

"We both know that you won't do them later if I let you wait. Now get up..."And with that he left the room. What a bummer. I wanted to see a movie with Johnny today too...

I picked my head up and peered at the red numbers on the digital clock. 11:45? Was it really that late, it felt much earlier. I dropped my head back down onto the pillow and sighed. I thought Darry would have been to work by now. I guess he didn't have to work until later.

I wonder what time Soda got home,he was with Steve and some other guy,I'm not sure who though. All I know is that when I got home and went to sleep he wasn't here yet.

Last night was wild. Last night...i could feel my cheeks tinge pink as I remembered what dally had done,it was the most embarrassing night of my life. Not to mention the stuff I saw. Though I spent most of the time sitting at the counter drinking coke,i had seen too much. I wasn't ready to tell anyone what I had saw last night,it was something I didn't want to talk about. I can remember walking out into the woods to piss and I saw it. I can still feel the confusion I had and hoping that Curly wouldn't see me there,accidentally seeing what was happening. It was probably just the alcohol but I wasn't sure if Johnnycakes understood that.....

Nah,it wasn't a big deal. Curly is weird like that sometimes,who knows what he could have been thinking. At least Curly didn't do anything drastic.

I sat up,i had to get up before I dozed off again. I had to take a shower,i smelled like alcohol even though I hadn't even taken a sip. After that I'd have to call Curly and ask him a few questions,I think that would probably ease me mind a little...

Johnny's POV

I didn't want to move from where I was. The lot was a place of comfort. Ponyboy, I wish he was here to talk to me. I was alone though,i was laying here all by myself. The warm spring breeze warmed me, making me glad that it wasn't cold out. My parents don't care that I'm out here now,so this is where I'll stay.... I had to ask Curly something, couldn't ask him by myself..i need Ponyboy with me,for some reason he made me feel safer. So did Dal and Two-bit but Ponyboy would be more understanding of anything I told him.

I had been awake for some time now. I wasn't tired, I hadn't been at the party very long,i felt out of place there. I couldn't find Ponyboy anywhere and Dally was too drunk to be around so I just left. Thats when stuff got weird though,i went to take a shortcut through the woods and curly was out there trying to get some girl to do something with him. When I butted in he wasn't mad. The girl left and I was alone with Curly,wishing I had just gone the long way to the lot.

Curly's POV

The phone rang and startled me a little. I bet it was that damn girl of mine,she was such a pain in my ass. She's probably going to bitch about something I did last night that I don't even remember. I really didn't want to listen to her scream in my ear.

I pushed my covers off and swung my legs over the edge of the bed,sitting up. I rubbed my eyes, I was going to have such a terrible day with the hangover I had now. I picked the phone up and cleared my throat.

"hey." I answered in a low voice.

"Curly? I just wanted to say sorry I didn't let you do anything last night. I told you I wanted to wait though..."It was veronica. She didn't understand that she doesn't have to apologize because I probably had fun with some other girl.

"whatever,obviously I'm over it..."

"I hope you didn't hurt that boy though. He was just being polite." what boy? Did she mean a little boy or a boy who was my age?

"What boy? I don't remember any boy being polite."

"Of course you don't,you were so wasted its a miracle you remember anything at all....i gotta go Curly...I'll see you later" then she hung up. I did the same and rubbed my eyes again. I was in no mood to do anything. I was glad the curtains were closed,the sun would probably kill me right now.

The phone started to ring again. I ignored it though,i was too tired to talk. I ripped the chord out of the back of the phone,preventing it from ringing anymore and bugging me while I was sleeping. I laid back down,it looks like nothing bad had been done last night,which was unusual but good for me.

sorry,it was pretty short. I'm not feeling well and I have to do so much other stuff today I couldn't write for very long. Sorry about the degree of terrible it is too. Ha ha

Please review,if I get five wonderful review then I'll consider doing another chapter...if I don't get any reviews then I guess it sucked,eh?

Thanks so much for reading.
