I grew up around boys
chapter 7: bye bye
thank you guys for all of your reviews. Thanks for pointing out my errors. I'm really not that good in English, but I'll try my best. On my last story I had ran spell check like crazy, but I don't think I got them all. ENJOY THE STORY...
recap
I got an idea. I went to my window and opened it. Maybe I can go find Pony, then Darry will be happy. I jumped out. Maybe he might be at the park. That's the most obvious place. So I as fast as I could, but I stopped. Because of the scene that was in front of me. This was not such a good night after all...
There they were. The Socs. Well it was really nothing. They were just standing there. It looked like they were drunk. I saw my brother jump off of the jungle gym. Then he next thing I knew was, that the Socs had my brother and Johnny. One group was with Johnny and the other was with Pony. I don't know why, but I just started running toward them. I guess it was my little sister instinct. A little sister has to protect her brother to.
"Cece! No," I heard Johnny and Pony yell. But I wasn't listening. I was to buys screaming and running. All of a sudden a hand grabbed me. Oh great. It was Blondie.
"Get this little rat," he yelled. He turned to me. "Jest because your a kid don't mean I wouldn't hurt you." I could smell his nasty breath. I started kicking and screaming as soon as more guys started grabbing me. I heard Pony's shouts, but he couldn't get to me. I punched one guy in the nose. Another in the jaw. I felt a hit to my stomach, and one to my face.
I cried out. I was in pain. I had never had pain like this before. Before I knew it, I was dropped to the ground. I landed on my back. Luckily I didn't hit my head. I heard shouting and a car pull off. I was guessing it was the Socs. I was thinking that the police had came, but I didn't hear any sirens. I didn't hear nothing. Just the wind. I wanted to get up but I was tired and hurting.
I heard feet running, toward me. I looked over. It was Pony and Johnny. All I wanted to do was to go home and at least try to say sorry.
"Come on Cookie, Pony said scooping me up. "We have to get out of here."
"Why," I said shivering against Pony. God, he was soaking wet.
"Because I killed him," Johnny said quietly. I looked around and next to the fountain I saw a body. It looked like Blondie. A.K.A, Cherry's boyfriend. I looked at Johnny.
"It'll be OK Johnny."
We walked, but not in the direction of the house. "Where are we going?"
"We're going to find Dally." No! I didn't want him to see me like this. Pony said I had another cut across my cheek and we needed to get i cleaned up. Also my hair was a mess and I was a little wet for Pony.
We walked up to some white bar or whatever. I could hear loud music and people laughing. Pony had out me down, complaining that I was to heavy. So I just held his hand. We walked up the steps and Johnny knocked on the door. Some guy opened the door. He looked...old. But not to old. There was a red light coming through, where he had opened it wide enough just for his body to fit through.
'What do you boys want," he asked.
"Dally. We got to see Dally."
"He's busy."
"Look, just tell him it's Johnny and Ponyboy. He'll come." He just stood there like an idiot. Pony pushed me in front of him.
"Please. Just look at my sister. She needs to be cleaned up, and we really need to talk to Dally. We need help," Pony said in a rush. He didn't move.
"Come on," Johnny pleaded.
"Wait here," he said then shut the door. We walked over to the window and peered in. A few seconds later he came around the corner with Dally. Even though the fight and death that just occurred, I still managed o blush when I saw Dally with no shirt, and now I was about to get even closer. Even though he likes o act all tough, I knew what his reaction was gonna be when he saw me. We went back o the door. And of course I couldn't see because Pony and Johnny was in front. So I just stayed quiet.
"What do you guys want," Dally asked. He sounded like he just woke up.
"Johnny killed a Soc," Pony answered for Johnny.
"What?" hey didn't say anything. Dally said something That i couldn't understand.
"We figured that you could get us out if anyone could. And look I'm sorry for getting away from this party, but we don't know what to do, man," Johnny said.
"Naw. I was just trying to get some sleep. I just got into a fight with Shepard." I coughed a little. It was getting to clod and my nose was starting to run.
"Oh Cookie," Pony said grabbing and picking me up. " I forgot you were there."
"What the hell," I heard Dally say. He grabbed me away from Pony. And of course my cheeks got red. "What the hell happened to your face?"
"She came out of no where screaming her head off, and the Socs got a hold of her," Johnny said.
"Alright come on. I'll see what I'm gonna do with his mess," Dally said taking out a tissue and handed it to me. Good. Because I really needed it. He carried me up stares with Pony and Johnny behind. He sat me down on the bed. Pony sat next to me, and Johnny sat next to him. "Hey stupid take the shirt off will ya," Dally said digging through the door. "Your' gonna freeze to death." He pulled out a gun. I just watched him as Pony was wiping himself off with the towel Dally had thrown to him.
"Here." He gave the gun to Johnny. "Don't point the hing at me. It's loaded." I giggled. Don't ask why. "Alright, here's 50 bucks. And I don't wanna be the one to tell your big brother 'bout this."
"Then don't tell him," Pony yelled. I guess he was still mad at Darry for pushing him. Dally just looked at him like he was crazy. Dally gave him a shirt and sat on the bed. You would think that the bed wouldn't hold us all.
"Come here," he said pulling Johnny closer. "Take the 3:15 train Windrixville. There's an abandoned church on top of Jay hill. Get a weeks supply of food as soon as you get there, before the story gets out. Then don't so much as stick your noses out the door. Am I clear?" We all shook our heads. I'll be up there as soon as I think everything is cool. Alright?"
Pony was trying to keep away his frightful look, but it just stayed on his face. I stayed calm, but my mind was just every where. I didn't know weather to go o to stay, bu Dally answered my thoughts for me. "Now Cookie," he said turning to me. "Since you were there, you need to go with Pony and Johnny." I just looked at him. "You have to. If you go back home and Darry suspects you know something from that cut on your face and that bruise. So I need you to be brave and listen to Pony and Johnny. OK?" I nodded. This was going to be a long night. Well morning.
