I do not own the Outsiders! S.E Hinton does! Right so not much more from me so read the story! :D

Dawn's POV:

Ok, so after a year of fending for myself and the second year trying to find Passion again the reunion could have gone better. As for her friends, they're ok since I don't know them. The tallest one said I was hot. What? I already don't like him that much. I know that I'm not hot anyway; I have too much hair, bad legs and freckles. I hate my freckles.

We walk in silence as I lead her to my place. It's not fancy but it's what I have to live with. Just a small room with a tiny bathroom above a bar with parties nearly every night. I already knew about the difference in social classes with Greasers and Socs, I had the unluckiness to run into a bunch of Socs on my second day in town.

"Dawn, where are we going?" Passion's quiet voice interrupts my thoughts

"Where I've been sleeping. Hey when we get there stick close to me and don't make eye contact with anyone, you hear me?" the likeliness is that there will be a party going on and even though she's sixteen she's still my little sister. She nods beside me

"Oh yeah and you're going to explain all about the dude you just hugged." She stifles a laugh beside me and I grin.

"This is where you live?" she asked when we got there

"Well yeah it's the first place I found," I shrug "why it doesn't meet your standards?"

"It's not that. But this is Buck Merrill's place. There's a party here every night and I don't think this is your kind of place" she replies

"Don't remind me. Now keep close and don't make eye contact" I shove her behind me and push through the doors into the loud, crowded, smoky room. A few guys whistle at us as we walk by but I try my best to ignore them.

We climb the small staircase and I lead her to my room. When we stop she looks at the door opposite the hall to me

"What?" I ask her

"You remember that guy who called you hot earlier, well he lives in that room there." She points to the room opposite; I groan and roll my eyes as I unlock the door

"Great, that's just great. Right sit and tell me who you just hugged." I practically shove her onto the bed and sit beside her, she sighs and smiles slightly

"His name is Johnny. You can guess that we're going out though, dad don't like it much but mum's fine with it. The guy who called you hot was Dally and the other one was Ponyboy, Johnny's best friend." She finishes

Passion's POV:

I tell Dawn about Johnny and wait for her reaction,

"Does Johnny have an older brother? And what have you two done?" Now that sounds like the Dawn I know and love.

"No, Johnny doesn't have an older brother I'm sorry, and why should I tell you what we've been doing?" I ask looking at her, she looks shocked a moment and I can't help but laugh at her reaction, she pushes me gently

"Cheeky bitch." She says, I laugh and look at the clock, it read nine thirty

"I should get home." I get up from the bed but before I get to the door I feel a hand on my arm

"Passion, are you ok at home?" I know what she means by that: 'are mum and dad hurting you?'

"I'm fine at home. Dad didn't mean to shoot. It was some sort of impulse due to stress or something." I had to tell her that dad didn't mean to shoot, she nods solemnly and lets go of my arm as I walk out the door. She follows me downstairs though to make sure no one does anything in the bar and hugs me goodbye when we get outside.

I walk home in the darkness and keep my eyes peeled for anyone who might want to hurt me.

Dawn's POV:

I watch Passion go and walk back upstairs trying to ignore the cat calls from men behind me.

When I get to my room I look at the clock and see the time, around nine thirty. I sigh and get ready to go to my... job. I never really worked and I only got it yesterday, the job didn't really appeal to me but they needed a singer who could dance as well so that was me.

As soon as I shove my clothes into a bag I grab my keys off the bed and lock my door before turning and exiting Buck's place to my... job.

Well there's your other chapter! A bit short but it didn't look like that on the word doc lol. R&R plz :)
