This is a chapter mainly focusing on Lynda because she gets over shadowed quite a lot :( So here we go, enjoy :P

Darry exited the house and sat down by Lynda without saying anything. Lynda looked up expecting to see Ronnie and was a little shocked to see Darry.

"hey Lynda." Darry said

"Hey Darry." Lynda replied

Like Ronnie, Lynda had never called Darry uncle, it had always been Darry. There was an awkward silence that followed Darry and Lynda's short words. It had been so long since Lynda had last saw Darry that she felt slightly nervous. They sat in silence for a minute until both Lynda and Darry heard raised voices.

"Do they always fight?" Darry asked

"Yeah and I bet right now it's moms fault." Lynda said sadly

"Why does Ronnie act as though he hates his mom?" Darry asked

"Not act, he really does hate he, but in all honesty, I have no idea why." Lynda said sharply

Darry listened to the shouting that echoed through the windows. It was hard to make out what they were saying, but it was easy to make out who was shouting at what time. What Darry didn't get was how bitter Johanna turned out, when she first stared dating Ponyboy she was fresh faced and smiling all the time. Now she was cold and shouty, no wonder they got divorced.

"Ronnie sound very much like your dad." Darry remarked thoughtfully

"Sounds like, yes. Acts like no," Lynda said slowly "he's more like mom but dad often says he reminds him of you Darry."

"Of me," Darry frowned "how come?"

Lynda went pink as though she said too much

"Just because." Lynda said shortly

Another silence followed while Darry tried to figure out how Ronnie was like him, he didn't seem like him. Suddenly Johanna came storming down out of the house. She was muttering to herself like and angry teacher. She didn't say anything to Darry nor Lynda she just stormed down the garden path to her car and drove off leaving Lynda looking bewildered and Darry shaking his head softly.

"So nice your mom is." Darry remarked

"Yeah, very." Lynda said darkly

Darry felt a surge of pity for Lynda. She was growing up with only one parent, but even then he was way to busy with Ronnie. Darry knew what it felt like to not have parents and for Lynda, it was a shame. No child should grow up without their parents. But sometimes there was nothing that could be done.

"Look, I gotta go. But tell you dad and Ronnie I said bye okay." Darry said

"Okay bye Darry." Lynda said

After Darry went Lynda went back into her house to hear Ronnie and Ponyboy in, yet, another fight. They were in Ronnie's room, and Lynda, who was not one to eavesdrop stuck her ear to the door.

"Seriously Ronnie, do you want your mom to kill you!"

"Maybe because then I wouldn't have to live the shitty life I do now."

"Shitty! Your life is shitty! When I was your age, no younger..."

"Look I don't care what your fucking life was like, I don't care and nor do I want to know. The only reason I'm still on the fucking planet is because of Lynda, and if she wasn't here then I would have kissed the ground 6 feet under."

Lynda scurried to her room. Guilt was taking her over. The only thing that was keep Ronnie alive was her. Lynda didn't know weather to be happy or devistaed that it was her Ronnie was relying on to keep himself living. It wasn't right, no person should live relying on somebody else to keep them on the earth.

It's wrong Lynda thought terribly wrong

~* That Night *~

Ronnie wasn't sleeping, mainly because he couldn't. His arm was throbbing painfully and it didn't help. He was tired as anything but when he was about to fall asleep he's lie on the wrong side and lie on his arm and wake himself up again.

"Ronnie," Lynda opened the door to Ronnie's bedroom "how come you're not asleep?"

"Can't Lynda and how come your not asleep either. Go back to your room." Ronnie said sitting up

Lynda folded her arms and stood firm. She was being shut out again. Black and she was sick of it. This was the final straw.

"You know something Ronnie. NO, I'm not leaving until you tell me why you hate mom, why you hate everybody. Why you look as though you were going to cry the other day when you came back from talking to mom and why you shut everybody out." Lynda snapped

"Fine, I'll tell you," Ronnie said with a hint of sadness "but only because it's you."

Lynda sat down by Ronnie. He gazed out of his bedroom window before turning to Lynda and looking at her dead in the eye.

"Here's why."
