A/N: thank you for reviewing! x) I love reviews. They make me happy.

I don't own Ralph Macchio or The Outsiders. I own the plot and Nick and family.

Enjoy!

Chapter Ten: (Johnny POV) [wow, ten chapters already!]

Boy, I sure hope Dallas doesn't hurt her.

"Dally, put her down," I told him. He spun around, shocked.

"What'd you say to me, you little shit?" oh glory, now he's pissed.

"I said, put her down. Now," boy I musta been loopy for a minute there. Nobody talks to Dally that way. But I was feelin' a little brave.

He dropped her, making her cry out. "There," he said. He picked her up, and got in her face. "If I ever see you trying to mess with Johnny again, he won't save you next time. Clear?"

She nodded, looking scared. I came over and pulled her to me, and she hugged me tight.

Dallas stormed off, and that was that.

"Shh, it's okay. You're alright," I whispered. I was trying to calm her down. Dally could be a pretty scary person when he wanted to be.

She finally calmed down. "Wanna go to Pony's?" I asked her. She nodded.

We headed to Ponyboy's house, hand in hand. Good thing Dallas wasn't there.

I saw Ponyboy glaring at us holding hands, but when he realized I saw him, he smiled instead. I guess he was trying to cover it up. Was he…jealous?

We hadn't told anyone about us being together. I got up. "I'm gonna go out for a smoke," I told them. "Okay," Nick said. Ponyboy nodded, he was more concentrated on Nick than anything.

I got a weed and headed outside. After I smoked it, I watched the clouds for a couple minutes. When I headed back in, I was surprised at what I saw.

Ponyboy and Nick were kissing. Kissing! He was on top of her! And she wasn't trying to push him off either. Finally, she pushed him off. "J-johnny!" she said, and tried to sit up.

"Ponyboy, I said get off me!" she said angrily.

Ponyboy looked confused. "Hey, you came on to me remember?"

"I did not! Johnny left to get a smoke and then all of a sudden you were on top of me!"

"Johnny," Pony said calmly, "are you really gonna believe her over your best friend?"

"Some best friend!" Nick yelled. "You're lying to him!"

I didn't really know who to believe. All I knew was that I was hurt, because either my best friend or my girlfriend had betrayed me.

A/N: sorry it wasn't long, I need to get some opinions of what to do next before I continue. [hint, hint.]

So review! More reviews, faster updates. You know the drill. It makes me sad when I don't get updates, and then I'm not in the mood to write D:

And any suggestions/constructive criticism welcomed. Ideas too! Yeah, ideas!

C:

Stay gold, my friends.
