Pinky knew the best place possible away from Derby was following the greasers.
She ran to the apartments and ran up to Norton's room. She banged on the door, calling for him.
"Goddamn..."
Norton put the marijuana under his bed and went towards the door.
"Norton!"
Norton swung open the door. He was shirtless and had nothing but sweat pants.
"Girl, it is 12 in the morning. What are you doing here"
Pinky's lips quivered, she looked at Norton and began to cry. "I can't go home..."
"Why?", he asked.
"Derby found out... he knows now... i can't go home"
"Hey! You can't just runaway though Pinky!"
"HE KICKED ME OUT THE HARRINGTON HOUSE. He'll tell my parents, i know he will... Norton. Please help me"
He sighed. "Get in here crazy", he said.
"Derby Harrington, your cousin basically fucking disowned you!?", said Peanut.
"Yeah...", said Pinky. "I can't go home"
"See, preps are scum. Derby disowned his pregnant cousin. They ain't shit", said Ricky. He walked over to Pinky as she was sitting on the couch and tickled her tummy.
"Stop that"
"Little Johnny Junior", he cooed.
"Ricky are you serious right now?"
"Look man, this is the future Vincent here. We gotta protect Johnny's legacy", he went back to teasing Pinky's stomach. "Ain't nobody gonna let any preps hurt you Johnny Junior"
"Johnny Junior?", Lucky and Lefty shared a look in disagreement. "JJ? JJ Vincent? No.", said Lucky. "Call him... uh... Vince. Or Van or-"
"Curtis", said Pinky. "I already picked"
"Curtis?", questioned Hal. "Why?"
"Ponyboy Curtis"
"Really?", Ricky narrowed his eyes. "Curtis? After the book?"
"I liked it. I like the name Curtis..."
"Ugh fine... JJ was better", Ricky grunted
