Kim
My self Pony, and Soda have all gone and so have most of the guy's or there out dooing something so youll be home by yourself most of the day Id prefure it if you didnt go out by yourself just to be safe but if you really want to just be extra carefull im sure Johnny Two-bit or Dall will stop by somtime to see you oh by the Before I left for work Dally stopped and left this bag of clothes for you
-Darry

I was a little shocked at the Dallas leaving me clothes part but relived the boy's were gone since I was only in under gaurments I wrapped the blanket around me and pulled the clothes out of the bag they all looked like greaser chick clothes which made me laugh I guess Dallas didnt like my Soc girl look last night I laughed and slipped on a pair of decnet lenght highwaisted shorts and a checkard button up that I tied just over the wait line of the jeans I did my hair in a bun and headed into the living area no one was around I dug around the kitchen and relized there wasnt much for food I sighed I knew Dar didnt want me going out but the boy's needed food and they were all so busy I went in my room and took my money jar out I had been saving it since i was 5 years old I had Over 2'000$ saved up since I saved every penny and before my aunt Dissowned my family I get 50$ for ever holliday and i made money from bake sales and lemonade stands I took some out and slipped on a random Jacket I found hangning by the door I knew none of the boy's would mind I stepped outside I knew walk to the store would take to long but it had to be done as I walked out I saw a bike leaning against the garage i went over to it and checked it out it was a little rusty but the chain was on and the tiers were full I shrugged and deided to ride it instead it save me atleast tenminutes I picked up some meat and veggies a loaf of bread and some milk I also got some bubble gum and some chocolate I paid of my stuff and went to the bike I balanced the bags on both sides and popped a peice of gum in my mouth and headed home the ride was a bit longer but I didnt mind I put the bike back were it was and grabbed the bags as I walked into the house I saw Dall pased out on the couch I shook my head and quietly went into the kitchen I started to un pack

"and where did you go?" I heard Dall's voice say almost a little angry

"the store the house needed food" I said turning to him he just looked at me

"aww was the big tough guy worried" I said in a teasing baby voice he shot me a glare that made my heart jump before he stormed out the door

"somebody's time of the month" I mutterd to my self I took the chicken out and deiceded to marinate it I took out 8 not knowing if the Gang would show up I knew if they didnt the boy's would just take it in there lunch I went to the living room It was lonley and quiet I sighed I got up and looked out the window to see I could see any of the boy's then I saw a baby blue mustang slowly driving down the street I ducked down my heart racing I heard it stop I sat against the wall clutching my heart peeked out just a bit the car was stopped out side four soc in it they were talking to them self and luckly didnt see me i ducked bakc down Tears forming in my eye's from being so afraid why did Dallas have to be such a crabby pants and leave I felt a tear fall from my eye I looked up again they were still there I started to shake I slowly and quietly crawled away I opened the hall closet enough for me to squeeze in the closed it I pulled my knees to my chest I saw a bat I took it in my hands and gripped it tightly I wasnt sure if they were gone yet but I felt my self starting to get tired the bike ride tuckerd me out I heard foot steps in the hall as I woke I froze my heart pouding

"She's no in there either" I heard Soda voice Say My heart lepped I never in my life felt so happy to hear a voice I saw his shadow walk by the closet I let go of the bat and ripped it open the bat fell out making a clang against the floor as I flung my arms around Soda who jumped a little then wraped his arms around with

"why were you in the closet?" he asked a little conserd still walking

"you were in the closet?" i heard two-bit say before he chuckled at his own dumb joke I looked up to See Two -bit and Steve sitting on the couch

"I was hidding" I mutterd Quietly Soda sat down and Two bit pulled me down between them

"why?" he asked a little worried

"well after I got back from the store.." I said but got cut off by soda

"you went out alone!" he said a little anger in his voice but his face full of concern

"yeah but I was fine I took the old bike that was out side but thats not the issue.. i got back Dall was sleeping on the couch so I quielty came into the kitchen and the stuff away and he came in being a big giant grump and asked where i went I said to get food and he didnt answer me and he just gave me this im pissed off look so I teased and said was the big tough guy worried and then he stormed off like a gir pmsing" they chuckled at my joke

" I finsihed un packing and sat on the couch for a while and got bored so I wanted to see if any of the gang was walking down the street and when I looked out the window I saw the Robert blue mustang driving down the road slowly and ducked and when I peaked back out he was still there and i got really scared case i was all alone... so i hid in the closet with a baseball bat" I finished looking down tears threating to fall I felt both boy's tense up I looked up at Steve he was also tense

"thats it im not leaving you here alone again" annouced two bit I opened my mouth to argue

"No he's right Kim even though there shouldnt be on our turf if they were and they were looking for you and no one was here they take you and hurt you" said Soda Fear in his voice I pulled both boys in for a hug and looked over at Steve I wiggled my finger for him to join he smiled and did we had one big group hug I heard the door open

"well I feel left out" I heard pony say I looked up to see him Johnny Dall and Dar at the door I wiggled out the boy's and Ran and hugged Pony

"no need sweetie" I pulled Johnny into the hug to he tried to deny it but I didnt let him after i let them go they went and sat down I gave Dar a quick hug and headed to get a spot on the couch

"well ouch babe no hug for me?" I heard Dall say I rolled my eye

"Crabby pants who leave little girls alone when there scary men driving around out side dont get hugs they should get hit but this little girl is to scared to" I said runing my joke as I squished my self in between Johnny and Pony I felt all the guys looking at me

"care to exsplain" I herd Dar Say rather Concerd I looked up and made a whiney sound

"I just exsplaind it to Soda, Two-Bit and Steve ask one of them" I said snuggling into Johnny I watched as all eye's fell on them

"after Dall stormed off Kim looked out the window to see if any of us were on our way home Robert and his gang pulled up out front and sat there so Kim hid in the closet scared so from now on Im gunna stay here to make sure nothing happens" Two bit said rather simply turning the Tv on I could see Dar looked rather worried and I felt Johnny tense up a bit at the thoght of them being out side while I was all alone Pony Gently took my hand and squeezed it While Dallas stormed off into the kitchen

"Crabby pants" I mummbled Only johnny heard me and he chuckled I did my best to try and watch the Tv but in the postion I was in wasnt that easy but I was to comfey to move I heard a loud crash in the kitchen It caused me the flinch both Ponyboy and Johnny touched my arm calmingly I tried to lean over and see what it was but i couldnt see in the door way I looked over at soda

"It was Dall he punched the window" he said getting up I looked up Johnny he shrugged

"Crabbycake stop being such a grumpface and dont break things!" I yelled into the kitchen at Dallas the boy's chuckled at my remark I wasnt sure if it was because of me calling him Crabby cakes or the fact we all knew he wasnt gunna stop being a grump a few momments later we heard the door slam

"Try to leave it on the hinges Crabby" I yelled out after Dallas knowing it was him the boy's chuckled I looked up at Johnny

"he seems to do the oppistie of everything I say dosnt he" I said to him

"yeah" Johnny said quietly to me soon Soda wlaked back in and sat on the couch

-Darry

I was a little shocked at the Dallas leaving me clothes part but relived the boy's were gone since I was only in under gaurments I wrapped the blanket around me and pulled the clothes out of the bag they all looked like greaser chick clothes which made me laugh I guess Dallas didnt like my Soc girl look last night I laughed and slipped on a pair of decnet lenght highwaisted shorts and a checkard button up that I tied just over the wait line of the jeans I did my hair in a bun and headed into the living area no one was around I dug around the kitchen and relized there wasnt much for food I sighed I knew Dar didnt want me going out but the boy's needed food and they were all so busy I went in my room and took my money jar out I had been saving it since i was 5 years old I had Over 2'000$ saved up since I saved every penny and before my aunt Dissowned my family I get 50$ for ever holliday and i made money from bake sales and lemonade stands I took some out and slipped on a random Jacket I found hangning by the door I knew none of the boy's would mind I stepped outside I knew walk to the store would take to long but it had to be done as I walked out I saw a bike leaning against the garage i went over to it and checked it out it was a little rusty but the chain was on and the tiers were full I shrugged and deided to ride it instead it save me atleast tenminutes I picked up some meat and veggies a loaf of bread and some milk I also got some bubble gum and some chocolate I paid of my stuff and went to the bike I balanced the bags on both sides and popped a peice of gum in my mouth and headed home the ride was a bit longer but I didnt mind I put the bike back were it was and grabbed the bags as I walked into the house I saw Dall pased out on the couch I shook my head and quietly went into the kitchen I started to un pack

"and where did you go?" I heard Dall's voice say almost a little angry

"the store the house needed food" I said turning to him he just looked at me

"aww was the big tough guy worried" I said in a teasing baby voice he shot me a glare that made my heart jump before he stormed out the door

"somebody's time of the month" I mutterd to my self I took the chicken out and deiceded to marinate it I took out 8 not knowing if the Gang would show up I knew if they didnt the boy's would just take it in there lunch I went to the living room It was lonley and quiet I sighed I got up and looked out the window to see I could see any of the boy's then I saw a baby blue mustang slowly driving down the street I ducked down my heart racing I heard it stop I sat against the wall clutching my heart peeked out just a bit the car was stopped out side four soc in it they were talking to them self and luckly didnt see me i ducked bakc down Tears forming in my eye's from being so afraid why did Dallas have to be such a crabby pants and leave I felt a tear fall from my eye I looked up again they were still there I started to shake I slowly and quietly crawled away I opened the hall closet enough for me to squeeze in the closed it I pulled my knees to my chest I saw a bat I took it in my hands and gripped it tightly I wasnt sure if they were gone yet but I felt my self starting to get tired the bike ride tuckerd me out I heard foot steps in the hall as I woke I froze my heart pouding

"She's no in there either" I heard Soda voice Say My heart lepped I never in my life felt so happy to hear a voice I saw his shadow walk by the closet I let go of the bat and ripped it open the bat fell out making a clang against the floor as I flung my arms around Soda who jumped a little then wraped his arms around with

"why were you in the closet?" he asked a little conserd still walking

"you were in the closet?" i heard two-bit say before he chuckled at his own dumb joke I looked up to See Two -bit and Steve sitting on the couch

"I was hidding" I mutterd Quietly Soda sat down and Two bit pulled me down between them

"why?" he asked a little worried

"well after I got back from the store.." I said but got cut off by soda

"you went out alone!" he said a little anger in his voice but his face full of concern

"yeah but I was fine I took the old bike that was out side but thats not the issue.. i got back Dall was sleeping on the couch so I quielty came into the kitchen and the stuff away and he came in being a big giant grump and asked where i went I said to get food and he didnt answer me and he just gave me this im pissed off look so I teased and said was the big tough guy worried and then he stormed off like a gir pmsing" they chuckled at my joke

" I finsihed un packing and sat on the couch for a while and got bored so I wanted to see if any of the gang was walking down the street and when I looked out the window I saw the Robert blue mustang driving down the road slowly and ducked and when I peaked back out he was still there and i got really scared case i was all alone... so i hid in the closet with a baseball bat" I finished looking down tears threating to fall I felt both boy's tense up I looked up at Steve he was also tense

"thats it im not leaving you here alone again" annouced two bit I opened my mouth to argue

"No he's right Kim even though there shouldnt be on our turf if they were and they were looking for you and no one was here they take you and hurt you" said Soda Fear in his voice I pulled both boys in for a hug and looked over at Steve I wiggled my finger for him to join he smiled and did we had one big group hug I heard the door open

"well I feel left out" I heard pony say I looked up to see him Johnny Dall and Dar at the door I wiggled out the boy's and Ran and hugged Pony

"no need sweetie" I pulled Johnny into the hug to he tried to deny it but I didnt let him after i let them go they went and sat down I gave Dar a quick hug and headed to get a spot on the couch

"well ouch babe no hug for me?" I heard Dall say I rolled my eye

"Crabby pants who leave little girls alone when there scary men driving around out side dont get hugs they should get hit but this little girl is to scared to" I said runing my joke as I squished my self in between Johnny and Pony I felt all the guys looking at me

"care to exsplain" I herd Dar Say rather Concerd I looked up and made a whiney sound

"I just exsplaind it to Soda, Two-Bit and Steve ask one of them" I said snuggling into Johnny I watched as all eye's fell on them

"after Dall stormed off Kim looked out the window to see if any of us were on our way home Robert and his gang pulled up out front and sat there so Kim hid in the closet scared so from now on Im gunna stay here to make sure nothing happens" Two bit said rather simply turning the Tv on I could see Dar looked rather worried and I felt Johnny tense up a bit at the thoght of them being out side while I was all alone Pony Gently took my hand and squeezed it While Dallas stormed off into the kitchen

"Crabby pants" I mummbled Only johnny heard me and he chuckled I did my best to try and watch the Tv but in the postion I was in wasnt that easy but I was to comfey to move I heard a loud crash in the kitchen It caused me the flinch both Ponyboy and Johnny touched my arm calmingly I tried to lean over and see what it was but i couldnt see in the door way I looked over at soda

"It was Dall he punched the window" he said getting up I looked up Johnny he shrugged

"Crabbycake stop being such a grumpface and dont break things!" I yelled into the kitchen at Dallas the boy's chuckled at my remark I wasnt sure if it was because of me calling him Crabby cakes or the fact we all knew he wasnt gunna stop being a grump a few momments later we heard the door slam

"Try to leave it on the hinges Crabby" I yelled out after Dallas knowing it was him the boy's chuckled I looked up at Johnny

"he seems to do the oppistie of everything I say dosnt he" I said to him

"yeah" Johnny said quietly to me soon Soda wlaked back in and sat on the couch
