Everyone's POV
"Are you okay Demi? You look kinda pale."
"I thought you didn't know me" Demi said smiling at Johnny
"Very funny now seriously" Johnny said, weakly"
"You know very well what" Demi yelled, that made everyone stare at me
"Im sorry" I said to everyone "I just kinda need to be alone right now" Demi said and she ran out crying.
"Emotional ever?" said Two-bit
"Shut it Two-bit" Johnny said and he ran after Demi , limping still
Demi ran and ran and ran until she reached the spot she met Johnny. She sat down, hugged her knees and cried
Johnny reached Demi and sat down next to her. His leg hurting more than ever.
"Demi…you have to stop thinking about it"
"How can I stop thinking about it!?" she yelled and stood up. She added
"How would you feel if your parents were gone and there's no one to give you advice or hug you when your sad or got stood up or got dumped! How would you feel if you've got no real friends to look after you!? How would you feel if you've got no where to go!?"
Johnny winced. "I do know" he said and looked down at his shoes
"What?" Demi said.
"You heard me" Johnny said "I do know how it feels, everything you said, except for the friends bit"
This made Demi puzzled "But you have parents, they beat you sometimes, but they're there."
"You don't understand" Johnny said as his voice rose "They don't only beat me when there drunk. My ma ignores me except when she's mad then she screams at me and my pa beats me every time he see's me!" Demi felt horrible "Im sorry" she said, she was still crying but she sat down again and hugged her knees
"Don't be" Johnny said and sat down next to Demi once again. "Im sorry that I yelled" "So am I" she said. Johnny gave her a hug "thanks, I really needed that" Demi said and Johnny smiled at her. "If you ever need anyone to give you advice or hug you when your sad, ill be here for you" "Aww Johnny, your too kind" said Demi smiling at Johnny. "So I guess we have a lot in common" said Demi, laughing a bit. "Yeah" said Johnny also laughing a bit. "Hey, Demi is Demi short for something?" said Johnny. Demi wondered what made him ask that but she answered "Yeah it's short for Demitria Rose may" "Oh I see" "Yeah, it a bit long so I tell people to call me Demi." Johnny nodded "And is Johnny short for Jonathan or something?" "Yep" Then Demi noticed that Johnny ran out after her when his leg was still badly injured "Johnny, your leg!" "Its okay it aint hurtin" he lied. "are you sure, I mean I can help you get back to that place you took me" "Naw seriously, I just stay here" Johnny yawned and stretched, he did that on purpose so that one hand would be hugging her. He wondered if Demi would think that he was being forward but all she did was lay her head on his shoulder.
She also yawned and before we knew it, we both fell asleep.
IN THE MORNING
Demi woke up and saw that Johnny was still asleep. She noticed that it was Monday. "Oh my gosh, Johnny were going to be late for school!" she said while shaking Johnny awake. "Okay okay im awake" he said. We stood up and started running towards the Curtis house. "Wait Johnny", I said before we entered "I don't know these people very well, what if they don't want me to come in" "don't worry, they know me so they'll accept you." "Okay if you say so" Demi said and they went in through the door.
"Hey Johnnycakes" said everyone
"Johnny, lay down for a sec and let me put some medicine on that leg of yours so it wont hury while your at school." Said Darry "Okay fine" said Johnny and he laid down.
"Everyone, this is Demi, remember her?"
"Yeah" said the Gang
"That's Two-bit" Demi smiled at him and he smiled back. "That's Ponyboy" she smiled and he waved "That's Steve" she smiled and he smiled "That's dally" she smiled and he nodded "I remember you, your that" "shh!" Johnny kicked Dally with his other foot and whispered "don't tell no know that she's a soc, kay Dal?" He nodded "That's Soda" I smiled and he came up to me and gave me a hug "Alright alright alright" said Johnny a bit jealously "and Darry is the nurse here" Soda said and Darry said "Watch your mouth Coca cola." Then Soda said to Demi "you can change in the bathroom if your going to school Demi"
"Oh my god!" I exclaimed and everyone looked at me "I completely forgot about my stuff! I left it at the lot and it wasn't there yesterday" "Socs probably took it" said Two-bit "I doubt it cause I was a Soc" this statement startled everyone "You're a Soc?" said Pony "Yeah" I said causally "Why are you hanging out with Greasers then?- Oh wait now I remember you! You're that Soc we saw yesterday!" Johnny groaned.
"Well to tell ya'll the truth im not really a Soc anymore…" "Why" said Two-bit. Tears started to fill up in Demi's eyes. Soda changed the subject "Well I have some clothes that don't fit me anymore, you could use them if you like" Demi smiled and nodded "okay" in a small voice. Soda went to get the clothes, then came back and handed them to Demi "here you go" said Soda and Demi replied a small "thank you" and went to the bathroom. "Johnny why is Demi not a Soc anymore" asked Steve. Johnny wondered whether to tell him or not. He decided that Demi wouldn't be mad, so he told them "wow" said Pony "well be nice to her, don't worry Johnny" said Darry. Then Demi came out. We all chuckled "yeah yeah I know I look dorky" Demi had her long wavy hair down, was wearing Soda's old clothes which were way way to big on her. So big that she had to fold the sleeves back-7 times- and was wearing Pony's old shoes which were much too big and made her look like a clown. "Come on! We gotta go to school!" "Okay see ya'll later!" said Pony, Johnny and Dally. Dally went to go with his other friends "he never really goes to school, usually ditches it" said Pony to Demi. She nodded "but he sometimes goes, just for fun" "yeah I have him in some of my classes" Said Demi to Ponyboy. She was dreading going to school, for she thought that the Socs would give her a hard time, and boy was she right.
