You guys are so amazing. It brightens my day when I get a review!:) Thank you lots and please keep reviewing. I do not own outsiders.

Sandy looked at the floor. "I lied to them this time but next time it may be a harder to get you out of this." he said. "You will have to talk to them at some point. It may as well be tomorrow. Let's all go back to sleep it's very early still, we will talk about this early."

Soda and Sandy rested back on the couch and the rest of us beside Darry when back to our spots on the floor. My spot was still surprisingly still warm and I quickly fell back to sleep.

Darry sat at the kitchen table. Sandy was pretty quiet when he told her about what her parents said, and she even went to lengths as to hide in the closet. Something else had to have happened. He sat there for a while longer and thought about what it could be that was bothering her. But soon his eyes were to heavy to keep open and he drifted off to sleep.

There was a pain in his neck when he woke up. Darry had fallen asleep at the table and his head had tilted back. He rubbed the back of his neck and got up to make coffee. In the living room Soda, Sandy and Soda pony were up already talking to each other quietly. They didn't notice him watching quietly from the doorway. He noticed something about Sandy though. She was holding her left elbow and rubbing it. Every do often when the sleeves on her shirt went to her elbow she would pull it down.

"Sandy may I talk with you in the kitchen?" Darry asked.

"Um, yeah sure." Sandy stood up and again pulled on her sleeve. She walked into the kitchen next to Darry and they stood near the sink.

"Sandy what is going on with you and your parents, really."

Sandy sighed. "Nothing."

"Sandy seriously tell me. It's ok. You can tell me. Think of me as a big brother, really Sandy."

She lifted her sleeve up to her shoulder. Darry couldn't believe it. Her elbow was bruised and swollen. " What in the world. Sandy why didn't you tell me about this?"

Sandy looked away and shrugged. "I don't want to talk about."

Nither of them realized that Soda was standing in the doorway to the kitchen. He looked concerned, his eyebrows were furrowed. Soda walked over to Sandy and examined her arm.

"What is this?" he asked.

"You know what I really really don't want to talk about this." she turned around to walk away but Soda stopped her.

" Sandy will you please tell me what happened." she was silent. " Did they do this to you?"

She nodded her head and started to cry. Darry hugged her while Soda became worked up. His face turned red.

Pony's POV

I heard the front door slam. I hadn't actually been asleep and had heard their whole conversation. Steve and Two-Bit were not asleep either and when the front door closed all three of us shot up. Darry and Sandy came out of the kitchen. Darry ran out after Soda and Sandy stood by the door. She looked like she was ready to explode. We didn't bother her. She stood by the door for an hour waiting for Darry and Soda to come back.

It was five in the morning when Darry finally came home. And eight in the morning when Soda came back. His face was flushed and his hair pointing in different directions. His lips were in a thin line and we could tell he was upset. Which is odd because Soda is never upset like this. He threw his keys on to the couch and walked into the kitchen to sit down at the table. Everyone followed him.

"Soda. Soda sweetheart?" Sandy sat at the table. Darry eventually talked her into letting him wrap her elbow. She sat next to him, he had his head resting on the table. "Soda? Are you ok?"

"No I'm not. I'm not ok. Sandy I am worried about you. I really don't want you to go back there. Please don't." Soda looked at her. His eyes could have said it all.

"I- I don't know. I mean. . ." she looked at the floor.

Soda scoffed. "First you now the car. I don't know what to do anymore." his voice trailed off.

"The car? What's wrong with the car?" Darry asked firmly.

"I totalled the car ok. I crashed it into phone pole." Darry's eyes grew wide.

"You totalled our car. You totalled our car. Soda! Well where is the car?"

"It's in the driveway." soda snapped.

"Don't get attitude with me buddy boy, after this is all over me and you're having a talk."

"Maybe I'm not the one you should be talking to," soda stood up "maybe you should be talking to Sandy's parents! Sandy said that they are the ones who did it why aren't you over there right now confronting them!?" Soda was steaming, everyone just stood there agape. He was up in Darry face yelling. He kicked the dining room table

The next thing happened all too fast. Darry lifted his hand and was about to swing at Soda but Sandy sprang from behind him and grabbed his arm. Darry pushed her off his arm with much to force and in slow motion it almost seemed, she was falling and turning. Her head hit the kitchen counter and she fell on the ground. No one moved for a second. Soda was still staring up at Darry when I said "She's out cold."

Soda's eyes grew ten times larger and his jaw dropped. Him knelt next to her. Her forehead was bleeding. Darry sat down at the kitchen table slowly and rested his elbows on his knees, his fingers running through his hair. Soda picked her up and we all ran out the door Darry slowly trailing behind.
