Chapter 2
Jessa's POV
This is the perfect chance! Maybe if I fight with Dally long enough I can get him to punch me in the throat! That sounded like something a scene kid would say… Oh well I don't care. I just want to be able to talk. I started to tell Johnny and Pony my plan and they were freaking out.
"Don't do it!" Pony kept pleading. I put a fist to my throat and two fingers to my lips.
"What?" Jonny asked shocked. I nodded my head yes.
"Well why Dally? Why not just wait till," Pony started but was interrupted by Two-Bit.
"Don't Pony! What she don't know won't hurt her," Two-Bit warned.
"Then how do you plan on keeping her away? It's comin' up," Pony replied. WHAT are they talking about?
"Just keep quiet about it," Two-Bit grumbled.
Johnny's POV
She's going to find out about the rumble sooner or later. Jessa turned to me and started making a ton of hand motions. "Alright, let's go," I told her. Right now she just wants to get away from Dally.
"Look at that. Running away when you get stunned into silence. I didn't expect much from a girl like you," Dally said as soon as Jessa turned her back. Jessa whipped around and punched him square in the jaw. Two-Bit shot up and restrained Dally. I was too shocked to do anything and I think Pony was too. Jessa was telling us that if he didn't shut up she was going to start beating the tar outa him. I didn't think she would actually do it. Steve and Darry helped pull him back. Jessa was glaring daggers the whole time. "It's the gang or her Two-Bit! It's your choice," Dally snarled. Jessa tightened her fists and ran out the door. No one followed and that's what bothered me the most. We didn't even know her but she was still family to all of us.
Two-Bit's POV
I guess Dally is kind of right. I mean we barely even know Jessa and so far a bunch of crap has been happening. The whole gang was silent, taking in Dally's words.
"That was kind of harsh. Don't you think Dally?" Darry asked, breaking the silence.
"Uncalled for too," Steve piped in.
"It's the truth! There's a reason we don't have girls in the gang! All they do is cause shit," Dally snarled.
Again the gang was left to silence. The sad part is Dally is extremely right. Girls do cause shit and that IS why we don't have any girls in the gang. I'm still debating on whether or not I should go after Jessa. I don't think I should. She probably needs to calm down.
Jessa's POV
I hate them all! Well not really, just Dally. I'm glad no one came after me though. I need some time to cool down. I have no idea where I'm even going. I saw the willow tree and started heading towards it. I was almost there when I saw blue mustang come up.
Johnny's POV
"I don't know man. I got a bad feeling 'bout leaving her on her own like that," I told Pony.
"With the way she punched me I think she'll be just fine," Dally said moving his jaw around.
"Well what about the Socs? You saw how Paul looked at her," Soda said to Two-Bit.
"She'll be fine. She knows how to defend herself," Two-Bit replied.
"Still she doesn't know where she's going," Pony added.
"I'm going to go check to see if I can find her," Soda said standing up.
"I'll come with. You comin' Johnny?" Pony asked following Soda.
"Yeah," I said hopping up. We all walked out the door with Darry yelling at us to be careful.
"Where would we find her though?" Pony asked.
"First place I'd check would be the willow tree in the park. That's where me and Two-Bit found her before," Soda said heading in that direction. Me and Pony followed behind.
Jessa's POV
Uh oh. This is not good! It's that Paul dude and the other creeps. Now I sorta wish someone had followed me. Oh well, I can defend myself. I just have to remember what I was taught in New York. The main rule: never get cornered when you're alone.
"Well, well, well. Look what we got here boys," the Paul guy said coming up to me. I stood there and glared. Never show you're afraid. Always stand up to the enemy.
"It's that broad the Curtis kid was protecting," one of his little minions said. I analyzed all of them. There were five of them, all slightly muscular, and a bit drunk. Paul was the only one that looked sober and he also looked like he was the strongest too. Never back down, always stand up and fight 'till the end. I remember everything that Snake told me when I was in New York. He's the one that taught me how to fight. He's also the one who saved me from getting pummeled. He's not here now so I have to make it out of this on my own.
"What's a matter baby doll? Cat got your tongue? Or are you just so excited to see us your speechless?" Paul asked getting in my face. He's worse than Dally. I swear if he calls me baby doll one more time I'm punching this guy in the face.
"Speak," one his minions commanded. I glared and flicked him off.
"Why won't you talk?" Paul asked in a deadly calm voice. I just stared at him. Really? If I wasn't talking before why would I talk now? This guy is a complete idiot.
"Maybe she can't. Maybe she's like that girl that went to our school," one his minions spoke up. He looks sober and nice actually. Hmm, oh well I should never judge by looks. "Can you talk?" he asked coming up to me. I shook my head no. "See? She can't," the guy said turning around and glaring at Paul.
"All the better. If she can't talk that means she can't scream," Paul said taking a step towards me. I glared and tightened my fists, refusing to back up. "What's up with the brace?" he asked glaring at it. Now is the best time to strike. He'll never be expecting it. I tightened my right fist and punched him in the nose as hard as I could. I heard a faint crack and his nose started to bleed. "Get the stupid slut," he growled to his minions. The one who looked nice shoved two of them back, leaving one for me. I did what I was always taught to do in New York. Use your most powerful weapon. Right now mine was my foot since my fist was hurting. I round house kicked him to the side, ran behind him and did an axe kick to his spine. He was down in no time. Paul glared and attempted to punch me in the eye. I forgot about him! Crap I better act fast! I caught it and bent his wrist back. He glared and tried using his other fist but I caught that too. I shoved them both aside and kneed him in the stomach. I shoved him back so I could get more distance and kicked his jaw. I looked over and saw the one guy struggling with the two guys. I hadn't notice Paul get up behind me. He put me in a headlock and said, "If you move I'll slice your throat!" I felt him move some hair and a slight pressure on my head. I glared at the air in front of me and kicked him in the place where the sun don't shine. I heard him groan and double over in pain. I took a quick glance behind me and saw him curled up in a ball on the ground. He's so stupid! He didn't even have a knife to slice my throat with! Can boys get anymore stupid? Like that one who's fight two guys! I mean why take on two if you can barely keep up with one? Might as well go help him. I ran over to him, pulled one of the guys off and punched him in the face, multiple times.
"Get out of here!" I heard a familiar voice scream. I think it was Soda but I can't be sure. I was in a zone. This was just like the time in New York. Ponyboy pulled me off of Paul before I went into a flashback.
"Get back to your own side of town!" I heard Pony scream. All of the creeps got up and scrambled back to their car, except for one. The one that helped me stayed. "You alright?" Pony asked standing in front of me. I thought he was pulling me back? Oh well my head hurts so I really don't care. I nodded my head yes. "Alright, good. Soda! Johnny! She's over here!" Pony yelled. Owe! That boy needs to quiet down! My head is pounding!
"Hey you alright?" Soda asked coming up with Johnny close behind.
"Paul got her pretty good on the head," the one guy said. Funny, I don't remember getting hit on the head. I mean I felt a slight pressure but not getting hit.
"Who are you?" Soda asked.
"Yeah," Pony added. "Why didn't you go back with your friends?"
I reached up and tugged on Soda's sleeve. "He helped you, didn't he?" Soda asked. I nodded. He always knows what I mean when I tug on his sleeve. "Thanks," Soda told him.
"You guys going to be alright?" he asked.
"You're Randy, aint you?" Pony asked.
"Yeah, you're Ponyboy Curtis, right?" the Randy guy asked back.
"Yeah, we go to the same school," Pony replied.
Johnny crouched down to my level and asked if I was alright. I pointed to my head and then put both hands on it. "Alright let's get you back home," he said and helped me up. "Soda, Pony," Johnny said quietly.
"Yeah Johnnycakes?" Pony asked turning around.
"I'm taking her home. You guys comin?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah. Bye Randy! Thanks again for helping her," Pony said before dragging Soda with him. Me and Johnny stayed up front while Soda and Pony stayed behind. It was a silent walk and for some reason I didn't mind it. It was calming my headache. We arrived at the Curtis' house and I let all the boys walk in before me. I walked in last and slowly looked up. I saw Dally sitting in Darry's chair, Two-Bit and Steve on the couch, and Darry nowhere in sight.
"You guys found her?" Two-Bit said.
"No, that's why she's right there," Pony said rolling his eyes.
"Someone's a bit sarcastic," Two-Bit said raising one eyebrow.
"Someone didn't see what was happening at the park," Pony snapped back.
"What happened?" Two-Bit asked sitting up straighter.
"Who cares?" Dally snapped. I looked down and tugged on Soda's sleeve. I looked up to meet his eyes. I willed for him to understand that I wanted to go outside.
"You're just going to go on the porch right?" Soda asked understanding my look. I nodded. "Alright," he replied.
"What's wrong with her?" I heard Two-Bit ask as I left their house. I plopped down on the porch and ended up hearing their whole conversation.
"She got a headache," Johnny said quietly.
"Now I wanna know what happened," Dally said.
"We found her at the park, beating the crap outa some Soc. Paul was on the ground with a bloody nose and two other Socs were fighting. Another Soc was on the ground too. I don't know what happened but she was mad," Soda told them.
I heard the door open and close. Then the one person I wasn't expecting to see for a long time sat down next to me. Dallas Winston. The guy who hated my guts as soon as I set foot near him. "So you really beat those Socs up?" he asked. I nodded. "Why'd ya do it?" he asked looking at me. I glanced over at him wondering why he even cared. I help up five fingers. "There were five of them. Let me guess Paul was the leader?" Dally guessed. I nodded. "Paul try hitting on you, you punched him, and then it went into an all-out fight?" Dally guessed again. I nodded, shocked. "You can't take on five. I know Snake helped you when you were in New York," he said looking at me, waiting for my reaction. That's when it hit me. Bulls-Eye was Dally. Dally hated me in New York too but I never knew why. He laughed and said, "Yeah I'm Bulls-Eye. The gang don't know yet. Let me guess though some Soc decided to be a hero and help you fight them off?" I nodded. How did he know everything that happened? Well he always did have a way of knowing what happened to me. It still kind of creeps me out though. "Snake really missed you ya know?" he told me. I was utterly shocked at this point. "He missed having a baby of the group. He liked teaching you all that stuff. I didn't like you because I thought you couldn't take care of yourself. Turns out I was completely wrong." He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. We sat in silence as he blew smoke rings. "Ya know ya do have a chance at making it in this town. The gang likes you enough to go lookin for ya. That's at least something. I have a feeling you didn't let Paul get off too easy either. You probably broke his nose," he said smirking slightly. I touched my foot then my jaw. "You kicked him in the jaw?" Dally asked shocked. I nodded yes and smiled. "You are so lucky Paul don't sue no one!" I heard the door open and close.
"Hey! You didn't kill each other!" Two-Bit said happily. I rolled my eyes and smiled. "And your even smiling! What don't tell me you like Dally now?" I raised one eyebrow at him.
"Yeah she sure is your sister Two-Bit," Dally said shaking his head.
"You still got that headache?" Two-Bit asked plopping down next to me. I looked at him as if to say, "I'll live."
"Did you get hit in the head?" Dally asked. I raised my shoulder and hands in a gesture as if to say, "I guess?" "Yeah Paul probably knocked you in the head."
"Jessa!" I heard as the door opened and closed, again. It sounded like Soda.
"Hey Soda," Two-Bit said twisting his head to look at him.
"Lemme check out your head," Soda said plopping down behind me. I felt him start moving my hair around. It was starting to get a bit weird until he hit a sensitive spot. I ducked my head forward and covered my hands over that spot. "Come on, let me see it," Soda said trying to pry my hands off.
"It aint going to work. She won't budge if you're trying to get her to let you do it that way," Dally said. "Here let me do it."
"I thought you hated each other?" Soda asked confused.
"We did, now we're cool," Dally said standing up.
"Alright just don't kill her," Soda said getting up and switching him spots.
I still had my head in my hands. "Come on," Dally said lifting my arm which made me lift my head. "Lemme look at it. I aint guna kill ya." I slowly released my hands and let Dally mess through my hair. He started getting to the sensitive spot and I tensed up. "Hold her hands or she's about to freak out," Dally warned. Soda and Two-Bit both gripped my hands and I started getting really worried. What is he about to do? "Chill for a sec, don't move your head." He moved some more hair around and I felt him get really close to the sensitive spot. "Who had a knife?" Dally asked.
"What?" Soda asked shocked.
"She got knifed in the head?" Two-Bit freaked.
"It's a tiny one, nothing serious. It's on a bump so that's why she freaked out so badly earlier. Don't scratch your head and you'll be fine," Dally said pushing my hair back down. Two-Bit and Soda released my hands. I always manage to get cut in the head! That always happened in New York and of course it has to happen here too! Ooh, so Paul DID have a knife. Whoops! "When you will stop getting knifed in the head and at least get knifed somewhere normal?" Dally asked laughing. I shook my head no, got up, and headed inside.
"Does that happen a lot?" I heard Soda asked.
"How do you think I knew how to handle it?" Dally asked.
"Cause your Dallas Winston. You know all! Like how Mickey brainwashes me," Two-Bit said. I could just picture him rolling his eyes but since my back was turned I couldn't tell for sure.
"You can't get brainwashed if you have no brain," Dally replied. I silently laughed and sat down in front of the couch.
"Why are you sitting on the floor when there's an open couch?" Two-Bit asked looking at me like I was insane.
"She did that in New York too," Dally said before taking Darry's chair again.
"Let her go she aint doing nothing wrong," Soda said rolling his eyes.
"Why though?" Two-Bit asked me before plopping on the couch behind me. I pulled a sticky note from my pocket, along with a pen, and wrote, "It's comfy. So shut up. Kay thanks bye =)."
Soda plopped on the couch next to Two-Bit as I handed him the note. He leaned over and read it over his shoulder. He laughed and said, "Dude! You just got told by your sister!"
"At least I'm not a freak of nature," Two-Bit said in my ear. I'm going to smack him.
"I'd back up Two-Bit," Dally warned.
"Why?" Two-Bit asked doing as he was told.
"Cause if you didn't then she was going to backhand your face," Dally laughed.
"She wouldn't do that," Two-Bit replied. I turned around to face him, raised one eyebrow, and nodded my head yes. Meaning: Yes I would backhand his face in. "Dang. Looks like someone needs to control their anger." Looks like someone needs to shut up.
"I can't wait until she beats all of your heads in," Soda said laughing. I held the thumbs up sign to Soda and nodded my head.
"She'll beat your head in too," Two-Bit explained.
"Nah. I think me, Pony, and Johnny are the only ones that will make it out alive," Soda said smirking.
"Until the world ends and we all become Zombies that is," Two-Bit replied.
"That's pleasant," I wrote on a sticky note. I reached up and put the sticky note on Two-Bit's nose. He looked at it cross eyed. Soda started laughing hysterically.
"What are you doing?" Soda asked between laughs.
"Trying to read the note she put on me," Two-Bit replied titling his head every which way. I reached up, ripped it off his nose, and put it on Soda's nose. "Okay now I can read it." Two-Bit ended up getting in Soda's face and Soda moved his head away so many times I lost count. It was interesting to watch. Wow I'm tired. Two-Bit ended up wrestling with Soda on the floor. I got up and sat right where Two-Bit used to be sitting. Dally was watching the whole thing with a smirk on his face. "Hey! You stole my spot!" Two-Bit said looking up from his wresting match. I stuck my tongue out at him and leaned back farther in his spot. "Oh no you don't little girl," Two-Bit said getting up. I was looking at him like he was insane as he walked toward me. He ended up picking me up and moving me. He plopped me down in Soda's spot.
"I can't believe you just let him move you! You used to kill anyone that tried touchin you in New York," Dally said. Wow, when he lies his New York accent becomes a lot clearer. He knows perfectly well that in New York I was terrified of everyone and they didn't have to touch me to move me. I smirked at him and decided to play along.
"Really?" Soda asked sitting down next to me.
"She didn't like people near her either. My buddy Lizard tried sitting by her when she first got there well, he got a huge slap in the face," Dally said laughing.
"Why'd you slap him?" Soda asked curious.
"He touched her. In a way she didn't want to be," Dally told him. That is true though. Lizard did smack my butt and I did slap him.
"Dang girly. What'd you do to Paul anyway?" Two-Bit asked. I touched my fist then my nose. Then I touched my foot and jaw. "You punched him in the nose and kicked him in the jaw."
"Well he won't be talking at the rumble that's for sure," Soda said. What? A rumble? I'm so going!
"What rumble? There's no rumble," Two-Bit said. Ha! He just doesn't want me to go. Too bad I'm going.
"Yeah there is. Did you get knocked in the head too? It's tomorrow night," Dally said smirking. Ahh so he knew Two-Bit didn't want me to know. I pulled out a sticky note and wrote, "Can I go?" I handed it to Soda since Two-Bit would flip.
"Aint my decision," Soda said handing it back to me. Ugh. I got up and handed it to Dally.
"Don't ask me. You know I don't care," Dally said handing it back to me. UGH! I'm not asking Two-Bit he won't let me. I saw Darry starting to walk in the living room. I rushed up to him and handed him the note.
"To what?" he asked. I took it back and quickly wrote, "the rumble." "Don't ask me" he replied. UGH! Again? Are you kidding me?
"What's she asking?" Two-Bit asked Darry.
"She wants to know if she can go the rumble," Darry replied walking into the kitchen.
"No," Two-Bit told me. Well that's just too bad! I'm going anyway! I don't need his permission! No one else cared! I glared at him. "I don't care. The Socs might pull knives and I don't want you getting knifed in the head again." I flicked him off and left the house. Well technically I just left the inside. I ended up just sitting on the porch again. Maybe I just need to go back to New York again. See if I can find Snake. He let me go to the rumbles. He didn't care what I did.
"Why do you want to go to the rumble so bad?" Two-Bit asked opening the door. I scooted farther away from him and looked the other way. I don't want to talk to him. I saw Johnny, Pony, and Steve walking up towards the house. I smiled and waved at them. They all waved back. "Just tell me why you want to go so bad and I'll think about letting you go." There's no letting me in anything! I don't need his permission! He won't haul me back here if I go! He wouldn't risk missing the whole fight! I'll go no matter what.
"What's going on here?" Steve asked when him, Pony, and Johnny made it up to the porch.
"She wants to go to the rumble but I'm not letting her. So now she's all pouty," Two-Bit told him.
"So let her go," Steve said. YES! Steve's on my side! I smiled but didn't turn around.
"She got knifed in the head today!" Two-Bit argued.
"You heard Dally. That happens all the time with her. She's still living aint she?" Steve retorted. Okay Steve is one of the guys whose head I won't bash in now.
"She aint your sister," Two-Bit said.
"Whatever man but you're the only one trying to stop her. I don't think the rest of the gang even cares," Steve said before walking inside. Pony and Johnny followed.
"Just tell me why," Two-Bit said sitting down next to me. I looked at him with sad eyes and pressed two fingers to my lips. "I know that! I know you want to talk! But why does it have to happen at the rumble? The cops might show up!" I don't care if the cops show up! It's called climbing a tree and acting like you're asleep so they think you're some homeless kid! Police don't care bout homeless kids. "You really wanna go?" I nodded my head yes enthusiastically. "If the cops show up I swear to god you better get back here with Pony, Johnny, and Soda. If you need help whistle." I started squealing in my head. I hopped up and hugged him then went back inside.
"Two-Bit finally let ya?" Dally asked as I walked in. I nodded my head and plopped in front of Soda.
"How you going to call us if you need help?" Soda asked. I made a low whistle that got high near the middle of it.
"Who just whistled?" Darry asked popping his head out of the kitchen.
"Jessa," Soda answered. I could feel him burning a hole in the back of my head. What'd I do?
"Two-Bit?" Darry asked.
"I didn't teach her!" Two-Bit called from outside.
"Pony? Johnny?" he asked.
"Not us," Pony answered.
"Don't even think about asking me and her and Steve don't talk," Dally said. What'd I do that was so bad? I'm so confused!
"You just used the gangs whistle. It's a way to tell that it's only us," Soda explained to me. I could feel myself getting as red as a tomato. I got even redder as I realized I was falling for Sodapop Curtis. I couldn't help it that he held my hand, went to go find me, twice, and is just so sweet and cute. Dally couldn't stop laughing and Darry just went back into the kitchen. Two-Bit was still outside, Steve and Johnny were behind me and I think Pony was up in his room. "What's so funny?" Soda finally asked.
"Look at how red she is! I swear she could be making a tomato jealous right now," Dally said laughing. That only made me blush even more. I could feel Soda starting to bend forward to look at me so I covered my face up with both hands and put my head down.
"Why are you blushing?" Soda asked near my ear. That just gave me the shivers! Did he really just ask me why I'm blushing? How am I supposed to answer? Boys are so stupid. I lifted my head up just as Two-Bit walked in.
"Talk about making strawberries jealous," Two-Bit said before sitting down beside me. I wish he would shut up. I look over to see Soda right in my face. I'm not sure what I did but all I know is I ended up sitting on Two-Bit. "Scared much?" Two-Bit said shoving me off. I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Did I scare ya?" Soda asked in my face again. I'm going to end up murdering this boy. I looked at him as if to say, "Well duh you scared me otherwise I wouldn't have been in Two-Bit's lap!" The whole gang started busted up laughing and I felt truly out of place. The rumble will come soon enough and hopefully I will be able to talk. I just smiled and acted like nothing was wrong. Wow. I never realized how exhausted I was. I leaned back against Soda's legs and closed my eyes. I felt something poke into my side and my eyes shot open. I looked at Two-Bit with murder eyes while he looked at me like he was doe caught in headlights.
"I'm not doing anything!" he said before I could even do anything. I felt something poke harder into my side and I silently squealed. Two-Bit smiled devilishly. "Someone's ticklish!" Two-Bit said in a sing song voice. Someone's going to die!
"I can't wait until she murders you," Soda said laughing. Two-Bit started tickling me until I couldn't breathe. I couldn't get away! Then I had an idea. I hopped up from the floor with Two-Bit still trying to tickle me and hopped in Soda's lap. I curled up my legs protecting my stomach and hid my face in his neck.
"You do know that's Soda right?" Two-Bit asked. I curled up even tighter.
"I don't think she cares who it is Two-Bit," Dally said.
"Little buddy?" Darry asked.
"Yeah Dar?" Soda asked. Ewe that's weird! I felt his voice vibrate from his neck.
"Why is she curled up on you?" he asked laughing.
"Two-Bit was trying to tickle her to death so she hopped up and is now currently in my lap," Soda explained. I peeked out when I knew Soda wasn't looking and saw Steve looking at us with sad eyes. I gave him a confused look and he should his head no. I quickly hopped off getting the meaning.
"Why'd ya leave?" Soda asked laughing. I shrugged my shoulders and yawned. Maybe he's getting over a breakup. I heard Soda say softly, "Did you tell her to?" I wasn't supposed to hear it so I acted like I didn't.
"Sorta," Steve replied more quietly.
"Cause of Sandy?" Soda asked just as quiet as before.
"Yeah," Steve said so quiet I could barely hear it. Who's Sandy? Oh my god I bet she's his girlfriend! I feel so bad now! I didn't know! Next time I won't even get near him.
"You look like your about to pass out," Dally told me. I know I probably look tired but I wouldn't take it that far.
"You do look pale," Two-Bit added. I waved them off. I'm fine. I just need some sleep.
"I'm heading to Bucks," Dally said getting up.
"I should get going too," Steve said following Dally.
"I'm going to the lot," Johnny said getting up. I waved bye to all of them. They all left and it was just me, Two-Bit, Soda, and Darry.
"I'm going to sleep. Soda remember you're off tomorrow," Darry said walking towards what I was guessing his room.
"Mind if we stay the night?" Two-Bit asked Soda.
"Go ahead," Soda said walking over to a closet. He tossed Two-Bit a blanket and pillow then tossed me one of each.
"Thanks," Two-Bit said hopping is Darry's chair and falling asleep. I shook my head at him. I will never understand him.
"You'll be fine," Soda said ruffling my hair. I smoothed it down. I just don't want the nightmares to come back. "You alright? You look sick," he told me crouching down to my level. I nodded. I'll be fine until the nightmares come back. "We have the whole gang here. Nothing bad is guna happen," he reassured me. He's right. I might as well try to get some sleep. I nodded my thanks and hopped up on the couch. "I'll be upstairs if you need me. Don't be surprised if any of the gang comes in though. If Steve or Dally sit on you just shove 'em onto the floor," he warned. I smiled and got comfy on the couch. I fell into a deep sleep pretty quickly. "Goodnight Jessa. Night Two-Bit," I heard Soda say before the soft footsteps disappeared.
