Chapter 4: Houses and heartaches
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own "The Outsiders" or any of the Curtis' Gang. Sigh. The real owner of "The Outsiders" is my favorite author, the fabulous S.E. Hinton. I also do not make a profit from the stories that I write here on this site.
A/N: If you like it, love it, or even if you hate it, you know what to do. Tell me in a review. I would love it if you favorited, followed, and/or if you gave me (a) suggestion(s). Thank you. :)
**I planned to do this later, but I guess I'll say it now. I DO NOT support abortion, premarital sex, drinking, abuse, or anything of that nature. There are many people to go to for help. Pastors, counselors, social workers, just to name a few. Also, my aunt was in a bad relationship as was my cousin and I have researched this stuff. I may only be 13, but I do not write about things that I can not make realistic.
I also recommend reading my GL first. It kinda helps.
Julie's POV
I didn't sleep at all. Evie's parents welcomed me with open arms, but it made me uncomfortable. My pride was too big to stay here, but that's not all. I had no connection to find out of anything happened to Johnny and I was worrying myself sick over him.
I decided that the best place to stay might be my grandma's house, but I didn't want to inconvenience her.
"Why don't you stay with Darry?" She suggested. I thought about it.
"He has his brothers to worry about," I told her.
"You can stay here, Julie. It's not safe for you there," she told me.
"I can handle myself, Johnny won't kill me," I tried.
"It won't be safe for your baby. I can't force you to stay here, but remember that," she warned. Well, that shut me right up. I could not endanger my child.

"Evie?" I asked in a small voice.
"Yeah?" Came her curios reply.
"Have I ever told you your the bestest friend ever?" I hinted.
"What do you what?" She asked fake-annoyed with an eye roll.
"Can you come with me to my appointment, please?" I asked.
"You mean be seen with my pregnant best friend? Sure," she shrugged, laughing.
Evie's POV
"What's so special about this appointment?" I asked once we piled into my car.
"I'm finding out if I'm having a boy or a girl," She informed my.
"Which do you want?" I asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but Johnny wants a girl," She mused. I rolled my eyes.
"You can't keep thinking about him! You need to move on, it's not healthy for you to stay with him," I yelled, desperately trying to change her mind about him. I didn't trust Johnny, he hurt her.

They put the cold gel on her stomach as I squeezed her hand.
She tensed up when the cold liquid hit her stomach, but otherwise was mostly relaxed. At least as relaxed as she's been.
I waited a few moments for the doctor to speak.
"Congratulations Miss Smith, it's a girl," Doctor Marshall informed her with a smile.
"Jana," Julie whispered in an awed voice.
"What?" I asked.
"Her name will be Jana," she informed me. "Jana Cade."
Sorry that was short. Aufenthalt Gold,
