Soon, I heard the front door slam.
"Hey, y'all!" I heard Sodapop yell. I hid under my blanket, although I knew it wouldnt do any good. I stayed under it anyway. I could hear them whispering, and them footsteps.. the door opened. I felt the end of the bed sink in. I knew Daddy was sitting there. Soda looped right in top of me and I yelped. The covers came off, and I saw the three of them sitting there.
" What do you want?" I growled, already knowing what they wanted.
"Hey, chill down, Jules. Its not like were here to kill you or something." Said Soda.
"We just need to talk," Darry said quietly.
"About?" I asked.
"You and Jim," Ponyboy answered for him.
"Look, Julianna. I would let you have sex, but you could get pregnant. Imagine what the county would do if that happened. Do you want to be in so foster home or an adoption center because the don't think I'm responsible seeing that I let you get pregnant?" Darry said this quietly, but to me, it felt like he was yelling.
"No," I said, barely audible. I began to cry. Pony crawled over and hugged me. I was a tough greasy girl, I held in my emotions pretty well, but when it came to my brothers lecturing me, I wasn't too good at it.
"Oh, Juli, I didn't mean to make cry!" Said Darry.
"Its ok." I sniffed. All my brothers came over, and gave me a big bear hug. I guess maybe Darry is right. But I can't let Jim feel bad! Oh, well, I will think about it tonight. Its time for bed. The next day, I got up and walked into the living room. I tripped over Steve's foot, and fell into Johnny. He caught me. I apologized.
"Oh, its ok. It wasn't ever your fault." He had answer me, then glared at Steve, knowing that he had done it on purpose. "Whose eating?" Darry yelled from the kitchen.
"Me!" everyone yelled.
"Ok," Darry yelled back. I could smell eggs and chocolate cake in the kitchen. Soon Soda came into the room, in only a pair of jeans. I just rembered. Today was Saturday. Soda and Darry were off today, and Ponyboy and I didn't have school. Soon after Soda came in, Pony did. Then Dally walked through the door.
"Where's the party?" He grinned.
"Hey Dal." I said.
"Hey, Juli." He said back. Dallas may scare me a little, but he cares about me. He would anyone that tried to hurt me.
"So, now that everyone's here, what are we gonna do today?"
"Lets go to the Dingo. Maybe there will be a good fight." Of course Dallas wanted to see if there was a fight. He loved fights. And so we all left.
