persona I know you don't like curses and i have been trying not to use curse words but in a scene like the one with her father it just fit in and made it more realistic. i haven't really cursed all that muchand i am very sorry if i have offended you in any way. and yes, i know i have errors lol. i am so used to talking on aol that i sometimes bring my iming habits over into my writting (which i really need to stop doing). oh, and good news, no more school! so i can update more often. i hope you like this next chapter.

(Soda's POV)
It was about 11pm and I was lounging around on the couch watching TV. I had ditched the gang and left them at the movies about an hour and a half ago. I was starting to wonder what had happened to them when I heard the big screen door open and I saw Ponyboy walk inside.

"Hey Soda" he said to me.

"Hey Pony, what took you so long?" I asked.

"Johnny and I walked Amber home" he said walking into the kitchen only to return moments later carrying a plate of chocolate cake. He walked over to the couch and sat down besides me, swiping the remote out of my hands and changing the channel.

"Hey! I was watching that!" I said.

"Well, you aren't anymore" he said smiling and letting a chuckle escape his lips.

We had been watching the TV for about 10 minutes when I heard a light knock on the front door. I thought I was hearing things so I continued to watch TV. The knock came again except this time a little louder.

"You planning on getting the door anytime soon Soda?" Ponyboy asked me.

"I don't know, I think I am to lazy, why don't you get it?" I said.

He yawned and said "Oh gee, I don't know, I am real tired Sodapop."

"Yea right" I said laughing and getting up to open the door.

I opened the door and smiled when I saw that it was Amber. I was about to say something to her when I realized that she had cuts on her and she looked pale and weak. My smiled started to fade as she opened her mouth slightly and uttered two almost inaudible words.

"Help me."

I stood there in shock and horror as I watched her limp body fall to the ground. Tons of things raced through my mind as I stood there staring at her motionless body lying there on the ground. I couldn't speak, I couldn't think. It felt like my feet were glued to the ground.

I quickly snapped out of my trance and scoped her up into my arms, rushing her into the house. I ran into the living room and found Pony sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Pony, get up! Hurry!" I shouted.

"Wha-What?" he asked me, kind of confused.

"Please Pony just listen to me and get up!" I said while motioning to Amber who was still lying in my arms. He looked at when I was motioning to and I think he took the hint because he hurriedly got off the couch and ran over to me.

"Oh my god! Soda what happened to her!" he said in a worried tone of voice.

"I –I don't know. She was at the door and said 'help me'. Then she just fainted!" I said, stuttering a little.

"She doesn't look to good." Pony said.

"I know. DARRY! DARRY! Get in here!" I shouted.

I saw Darry coming down the hall trying to put on a shirt. "Jeeze Soda, no need to-"he started in an annoyed tone but stopped mid sentence when he saw Amber on the couch.

"What happened?" he said in a stern, fatherly type voice.

"I don't know! She came to our door and then fainted." I frowned.

"Do you think she was jumped by some socs?" Darry asked.

"No, she couldn't have been. Johnny and I walked her home after the movie" Ponyboy said.

"You know what. Right now it doesn't matter. We can ask her what happened when she wakes up but right now we need to help her!" I said, kind of annoyed at the fact that Amber was lying on our couch badly hurt and all we were doing about it was talking.

To tell you the truth I almost thought she was dead. She really didn't look that well. There was a deep puncture in her arm, almost like a chunk of it was missing. Her white tank top was caked and covered in blood and bruises were starting to form on her body. There was a little cut near the top of her head and little drops of blood were gently rolling down her forehead.

"You're right Soda. I'll go get the first aid kit" Darry said, running down the hall to get the first aid kit.

"Do you think we should tell Johnny?" Pony asked.

"No. We don't need to worry him right now. He will find out when he comes over in the morning. "I said.

Just then Darry came back into the room with the first aid kit. He started to clean up her cuts and bandage her arm.

It was around 12 midnight when he finished cleaning her up and we all headed off to bed, leaving her on the couch.

The next morning I woke up around 6 and took a shower. After shower I put on a pair of blue jeans and my light blue DX shirt. I walked into the kitchen to find Darry cooking breakfast.

"Hey Dar, did Amber wake up yet?" I asked him.

"Nope, sorry Soda." He said sadly.

I still had about an hour left until I had to leave for work so I went into the living room and turned on the TV. A few minutes later Ponyboy walked into the room.

"Good morning Soda."

"Morning Pony" I said.

"How's Amber doing?" he asked.

"I don't know. She still hasn't woken up." I frowned. She was such a nice girl. I really did hope she was ok. To tell you the truth, I think I kind of liked her as more than just a friend.

Just then I heard the front door slam open and someone shout "Ahhh! Two-bit, get off me you drunk loser" I looked up to find that Steve, Dally, Johnny and Two-bit had all just arrived. They were all horsing around and laughing about some joke that Two-bit had told them but they immediately stopped when they saw Amber on the couch. Steve's jaw dropped a little and everyone looked like they were frozen in place, kind of how I looked when I Amber fainted at our door last night. Johnny was the first to speak and he immediately ran over to Amber's side.

"What happened?" he asked, gently running his hand through her hair.

"To tell you the truth, I really don't know. She's been asleep since last night when she fainted on our porch." I said.

"Is she going to be ok?" Johnny asked. You could hear the worry in his voice and I really felt bad for him. You could tell that he liked Amber and she was probably one of the only girls who ever actually gave him a time of day.

"I am sure she will be fine" I said to Johnny, walking over to him and putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Just then I heard a low groan and Amber's eyes slowly opened.

"Hey guys, come quick! She's waking up." I shouted. Seconds later everyone was at my side looking down at Amber lying on the couch.

i know that this chapter was probably pretty boaring but i wanted to update before i left for vacation. next chapter is better and you get to find out something very interesting about Amber. review pls! Remember to read my other story Through the Eyes of A Greaser.
