Warning:MORE FIRE AND SWEARING MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH CHARECTER DEATH TOO!


As me and Two-Bit approached the Dx I saw that Steve was working. I almost wanted to run away and never come back. But as I pondered it I felt empty. All emotion in my body had been used up. When I got into the store I felt two eyes from the back of the store drilling holes in my back. I shrugged off the man in the back of the store. I think he reminded me off someone I met once...

" He Steve!' Two-Bit practically yelled," Got any Pepsi?"

" No, we just sell water. Its good for you. Of course we have Pepsi ya dumb hood." Steve huffed.

" Well I'll take Two of your finest Pepsi!"

" It's in the back with the rest of the drinks. Get it your fucking self."

" My Steve! I have never heard such coarse language from you! I might just have to report you to the manager of the fine establishment! Why-"

" Ponyboy!" A young female voice called me as I heard the Dx's doors open. I turned around to see Cherry Valence. I was surprised, she was supose to be off at college. I waved at her and wished she would leave. As I got to know her better after Johnny and Dally's death, she got kind of annoying. I don't know why. She ran up to me and gave me an awkward hug and ruffled my hair like I was a little kid. Maybe this was why I didn't like her anymore. I hate when people treat me younger than I am. It kinda sucks being the youngest out of my group of friends.

" Oh I haven't seen your cute little face in forever! College is so boring!" she sighed and I saw the man in the back of the room approach Steve. He tossed a pack of matches of the counter and mumbled something while reaching into his pocket.

" What was that sir?" Steve asked in a polite voice I never knew he had.

" Give me all the money." His wild blue eyes searched around the room and he suddenly grabbed me," Or the little kid gets it." He pointed a gun to my head that he made appear as if by magic. Great. I thought, just one more perk of being the smallest and youngest here.

" Hey man, I can't do that. I would get fired!" Steve said. It didn't surprise me he didn't care if I died or not.

" Leave him alone please!" Cherry cried," My family is rich! I can get you the money you need!"

" Sorry honey, Can't take any chances. I lost all my money that way." The crazy man started to pull me to the back of the store. He pressed the gun harder against my head as if to tell me what would happen if I resisted. Suddenly the man pushed me behind him making me fall to the ground and hit my head. I sat, Dazed, till I notice the man grab the matches off the counter. He ripped them open resulting in some falling to the ground.

" Give me the money, or I'll burn this place to the ground!" He lit a match and grabbed oil. I panicked, remembering what happened at the church

" I told you I can't do that! Sir, please leave before I have to call the cops."

The man dumped the oil all over the store.

" Sir I am warning you!" Steve yelled. Why was Steve being so dumb I thought numbly.

The man lit a match.

" Okay! I'll give you the money!"

" Too late boy." He dropped the match and the store went up in flames. He ran out before Anyone could catch him. I saw Steve flee first. I tried to get up yet my body didn't want to move.

"Ponyboy!" Some one yelled. I couldn't recognize the voice as my head got fuzzier and fuzzier. Some one with soft hands started to drag me. I groaned in protest. Then a flaming board fell and I heard a shriek. The soft hands let go of me.

"Cherry!"

I was about to black out till someone much stronger fully picked me up. I moaned as my head spun. Why was I moving so fast? Sirens blasted in my head worsening my growing headache. Why can't they turn that off? Lots off people started talking around me and started to confuse me with their questions.

" Shut... Up..." I said and my voice came out soft and weak. I guess I sounded as young as people treat me... I think people thought what I said was funny because they started laughing. I was ripped from whoever's arms I was in and set on some flat surface. I was taken back by when I started to move again. I closed my eyes and was granted with peaceful darkness.
