Here's chapter 10 :)


Soda:

Nicole and Dally have been gone for almost 4 days now. When she called us yesterday she said they wouldn't be back for a long time. I've been getting so sick lately, knowing that her and Dal are in trouble.

"Soda man, what's wrong?" Steve asked me while leaning up against the wall of the DX. I was behind the counter. I shock my head.

"Nothing Steve." I answered. He walk towards me and leaned on the counter now facing me.

"Look, I know your upset about Nicki, but she's with Dallas.. Dallas Winston for God'd sake! She's got one of the boys watching out for her 24/7. Don't worry about it." He said trying to be sympathetic.

"I know that Dal wouldn't let anything happen to her, he'll we all do. It's just the fact that I can't here her voice or call her or anything. I've never been away from her for this long, since the day we were born we've done everything together, ya know man, she's just always been there and know she's just gone. It's killing me that I don't know where she is!" I say letting all my thoughts spill out. Steve cocked an eyebrow.

"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" He said confused. "Aren't they in Boston?" He added. I looked at him in shock. Boston?

"Where the hell did you hear that? No one, not even me, Darry or Pony know where they are!" I whispered loudly.

"Um no everyone is saying that the soc that Dally killed was from Boston. Dally and Coley's pictures were aplenty sent around to the police in the north east because of Dally's past in New York. They were spotted by relatives of the soc that Dally killed but they didn't get them in time. Man, you really didn't hear about this?" He finished. No, I was shocked. As soon as everything settled I told him to cover my shift and I ran home.


On the way I ran past a blue mustang, it looked just like the one me and the guys fought off the other night. Maybe that's because it was.. I stopped when they called me over.

"Hey you! Come here, we need to talk!" Jacob yelled.

"What about?" I asked playing it cool.

"Your buddy Dallas and your slut of a sister that's what!" He yelled. I balled my fists.

"My sister is far from a slut!" I yelled back.

"Oh really.. Because she sure looked like one the other night before I put her in her place!" Jacob sneered.

"What exactly was she doing? And how the hell did you 'put her in her place'?" I asked ready to fight him one in one.

"She was making out with that scum named Winston! She was mine first! She knew that, I claimed her! No one else can have her until I'm done with her! Oh and I only pulled her down all 8, concrete steps at Buck's the other night, that's how she got all those cuts all over her brother dear! Am I making you mad yet?!" He asked trying to egg me on.

"Extremely." I answered ready to go.

"Well anyways that's not why I called you over here.." He said.

"Well why did you?" I ask.

"To tell you where I'm going." He answered.

"Where?" I asked getting madder by the second.

"Boston." He said with a smile. He laughed in my face. As I was abut to pull him through the window of his car, he drove off, leaving me in the middle of the street.


I burst through the front door when I got home. Pony and Darry were both in the living room, the looked up from the TV when they heard the screen door slam.

"What's up little buddy? Is everything alright?" Darry asked.

"No. They found them. They know where they are." I said out of breath.

"Who found who?" Ponyboy asked.

"The socs. They know where Dally and Nicki are." I say with my voice shaking. Darry and Pony both stood silently in shock. We need to get ahold of them we just gotta! We need them to get outta there, outta Boston! As these thoughts ran through my head, the silence of the house was broken by the ringing of the phone.
