Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own "The Outsiders" or any of the Curtis' Gang. Sigh. The real owner of "The Outsiders" is the best author of all time, S.E. Hinton. I also do not make a profit from the stories that I write on this site.

A/N: Thank you for all the support I have gotten from my amazing reviewers for all of my stories. If you love it, like it, or even if you hate it, you know what to do! Review please! Thanks you.

This story takes place in the Spring time at the moment.

Steve's POV

As soon as Soda left to pick up some snacks inside the connivence store I turned around at Ponyboy and told him everything I held back for almost two full years. I told him everything and called him a "Brat" and "Urchin" and "Baby Curtis."

It didn't really feel so hot when his bottom lip started to quiver.

"S'da," he whimpered. It was the first word in months. I felt a sharp pain hit my cheek and saw Sodapop standing over me, red faced and beyond livid.

"You Jerk! You got a problem, tell it to my fave coward!" He screamed at me. He picked up Ponyboy and cuddled him in his arms as he continued to whimper softly.

I was a total jerk, wasn't I? I thought, glumly kicking a rock as I left the parking lot of the store.

Darry's POV

Soda came in cuddling a sleeping Ponyboy who had tear tracks on his face. Soda's face was red and his fists were balled together tightly.

"What happened?" I asked appalled.

"Steve," he growled venomously and exited the room. I shook my head and got ready to go to bed.

It was late at night when I heard a scream echo through our small house. I raced to Ponyboy and Soda's room and saw Ponyboy sweating and tangled up in the blankets. He was mumbling our parents names and "Steve."

Soda was able to coax him awake and Pony proceeded to bawl in his arms. He refused to be calmed down even after twenty or so minutes, so I got up and heated up a bottle.

I brought it back and Soda took it from my hands and let Ponyboy suck on it. He quickly relaxed and fell asleep in Soda's arms. Soda went back to sleep and I went in my room that knowing both of my brothers were safe and asleep.

A/N: This was short, but my Mamaw and Papo are here and I want to visit. Please review and/or give suggestions.
