Audrey's POV

Spending the day at the Curtis' house was awesome because we got to make Stephanie mad all day! We had nothing better to do, so while she was cleaning we followed her around and made a mess.

When Two-Bit and I got home he and Kathy went upstairs and I watched TV until a few minutes later when I started hearing the usual… noises.

I cursed to myself and walked over to the staircase, shouting upstairs, "Hey Two-Bit and company! Keep it down, will ya?"

The incredibly disturbing slowed down as he yelled back down to me, "Lordy! Get outta here, Audrey!" He cussed and the noises picked up, I quickly gagged and covered my ears, running out the door into the cold night.

I silently walked to the Curtis' house once again, watching my back every few seconds because it was dark out and the Socs would be making their rounds already. I did not wanna be their next target.

When I walked in the front door of the Curtis' house, Stephanie was actually sitting down and relaxing for once. Darry was still sitting in his chair but he seemed to have a better range of motion since earlier. Both of them, plus Ponyboy, were talking about some random crap when Pony looked up at me, "Oh, hey Audrey."

I sighed and sat beside Steph on the couch, "Hey Pony! What's up?" I asked, trying to get the sounds of my brother and his girlfriend going at it. I shook my head vigorously.

"Nothing exciting," he flashed a smile at me, "what brings you here?"

"My stupid brother kicked me out of the house because Kathy was over and… Well, you get the picture," I shook my head again, it was just plain gross.

Just then, Soda walked out of the bathroom soaking wet with only a towel wrapped around his waist, he smiled at us, "Well hey guys," he blushed at the audience in front of him and quickly walked back into the bathroom to get some jeans on. He walked back into the living room and leaned up against the chair Ponyboy was sitting in, "What's up y'all?"

Everybody smirked at me as I shook my head and put it in my hands, "Please, don't ask." He nodded, obviously knowing what was probably happening back at my house.

"Wait, you walked here alone in the dark?" Darry asked, trying to sit up but he winced with pain so he leaned back.

"Yes, I did, Muscles. I watched my back the entire way, though, don't worry about me." I assured the eldest Curtis brother, he sighed.

"What time is it?" Sodapop asked suddenly, Stephanie looked at the clock on the wall and answered, "Ten-thirty."

Soda straightened and ran to get his jacket, "Late! I'm late," he went on ranting while frantically searching through piles of clothes trying to find it, "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date." He sounded exactly like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.

"With Sandy?" Ponyboy asked; he liked Sandy. Probably only because he didn't know how much of a slut she could be. Soda nodded as he finally pulled his jacket out from the bottom of a huge pile of clothes and slipped it on. I rolled my eyes at the mention of Sandy's name.

When Soda left, Stephanie and I both looked over at Darry and asked, "You're still letting him date Slutty-Sandy?"

He shrugged, "As long as he's happy."

"He won't be happy if he stays with her any longer," I muttered the truth.

"Yeah, Darry, you're kind of stupid," Stephanie agreed, Darry gave her a stern look and started to growl at her before she stood up and pointed at him, "Hey, I cleaned your house, shh."

He settled back down, "You two are lucky you're cute," he sighed.
