Should I Tell, or Not?

Jenna's POV:

"Hey, Ponyboy?" I asked nervously after everyone else left the house, we were both going to have to ride the bus this morning. Darry and Soda had to leave early for work and Steve and Two-bit couldn't take us for some reason.

"Yeah," he says.

"Didn't you use to have really bad nightmares?" I asked nervously. I figured since I didn't want Darry or Soda to find out and no one else is around, I might as well ask now.

"Yeah, why?" he asked.

"Well, I've been having some reoccurring nightmares lately and I was wondering, how did yours stop happening?" I asked a bit nervously.

"Well it kind of depends on the dream. I couldn't remember my dream, after it happened for a while I went to a doctor and he said that it was over active imagination. But what was your dream? It really depends on what it's about, "Ponyboy said.

"Will you promise not to tell Soda or Darry?" I asked.

"Promise," he said.

"Ok," I said and told him about the real dream. He was at a loss for words when I told him; he looked at me really concerned.

"How long and frequent has it been?" he asked.

"The first one was three days ago, and it happened every night since then."

"Do Darry and Soda even know about it?"

"They know I had a really bad dream the first night it happened 'cause Soda caught me out of bed, but I didn't tell them the real dream." He looked at a loss for words again. "How did you get yours to stop completely?"

"Well, it stopped a little over four months ago, after I solved things out with Darry about some stuff… But you don't really have that problem. I won't tell Darry and Soda but I think you should, they would probably be able to help you more than I can right now. Sorry."

"It's fine. We better go, we'll miss the bus if we wait any longer to go out," I said and we both went out to the bus stop and soon enough got on the bus.

Stephen's POV:

"Hey, are you ok? You look like you just saw a ghost or something," Jenna said after she sat by me on the bus.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lied. How was I supposed to tell her that she's involved in Curly's evil plans? I know I can't do it right now; there are too many people around. But even when we are alone next time, how am I supposed to bring it up? Hey Jenna, you need to be involved in an evil plan of Curly's or else yours and my dog will die, I thought. That's so stupid!

"Are you sure?" she asked, I must not look convincing enough.

"Yeah, really, I'm good," I said and tried to calm down a bit.

"Ok," she said. Few, that was close, I thought. We were mostly silent on our way to school. The day seemed to move really slow, especially when Jenna was around. And I couldn't seem to focus on anything, which really didn't help when I had a test in math today. I was really quiet most of the day; all I could think about was how to tell Jenna that she needed to be involved in Curly's plan. But finally school ended, but of course, no one came to pick me up so I had to walk again. Though, once again, Jenna was left without a ride to, which gives me the perfect time to tell her about the plan.

"Hey," I said to her," Are you stuck without a ride again?"

"Yeah, Ponyboy said they would wait this time but they obviously didn't. Do you wanna' walk home together again?" She asked.

"Sure," I said, and then we started walking the same way we did yesterday. "Uh, hey Jenna?"

"Yeah?" she said.

"You heard about my brother Curly, right?" I asked her nervously. Boy she's gonna hate me after this! I thought.

"Yeah, why?" She asked, getting a little suspicious.

"Well…."

"He wants me to do what! Tanya hates me already! How can he think that's gonna work!?" Jenna shouted.

` "I know, but if we don't then Curly'll try to kill both of our dogs," I said.

"What kind of heartless person would try to kill innocent dogs for something as stupid as that!" she said. She was really mad about this now.

"That's Curly for ya," I said, it is the truth.

"How are we supposed to tell this to Tanya, didn't you say she's still planning something terrible on me?" she said.

"Yeah, but you heard them talking about how much they loved dogs the other day? If we tell her the part about Curly wanting to hurt the dogs then she'll probably do it," I said trying to think of some way to get Tanya to help us. Tanya was a soc that the police would believe, so that's why Curly specifically wants her help with this.

"I guess… Well I gotta go, see ya," She said once we made it to her house.

"You can't tell anyone about this though, ok? We'll talk more about it tomorrow, but for now let's just keep it a secret," I said.

"Ok," she said. I still felt really bad, there's other ways to do his plan without her help, but he's too listen. He wants Jenna to help because she doesn't quite have a reputation around here, but doing his plan'll sure give her one. I wanted to kill him when I got home, but Tim was there so I couldn't. Yet.

A/N: So did you like it? Sorry it's so short again, and that it took me so long to update. My family installed some new photo shop software over the weekend and my siblings were complete computer hogs over it, I only got to get on once for a really short period of time! But luckily one of my classes at school has a computer in it and I finished the project we were working on five days early so I get to update! Hope you enjoyed! Please review! (Especially if you have any funny dog stories that you might want in the story, there's not many chapters left I can put those in.)
