Steve tell Kendra the truth.

Disclaimer: Steve: Finally, something intresting I can do!

Ace: Glad you're happy.

Two-Bit: ...

Ace: Sorry, Two-Bit...

Darry: Ace does not own The Outsiders

Two-Bit was placed in critical condition, no visitors, no contact. He was alive, breathing softly. Darry and Johnny were in the waiting room when Steve came trotting in with Pony and Soda behind him closely. Steve looked pissed off, asking many, many questions. He was asking about how Two-Bit is, where Dally is, where Tim is, and what happened. Darry was calmly answering the rapid fire questions till Steve sat down next to him. He and Darry never saw eye to eye, until now. Pony was comforting a crying Johnny and Soda was standing against a wall, wide-eyed and unbelieving.

The doors opened once again; Kendra and her mother came in. Darry looked up, got up and went over to Ms. Matthews. He pulled her aside as Kendra went over to Johnny.

"Johnny... what happened here?" she asked. Johnny wiped away a few tears; he hated to be seen in tears in front of women, he could care less about the doctors.

"Two-Bit went to the river bed, where Tim was hangin' at. They... they got into a fight with blades... I thought for sure Two-Bit would win but..." a few tears rolled down his cheek and a hiccup escaped his lips, "But Tim stabbed him..."

"Why didn't you help him?!" Kendra yelled at him, making him jump.

"He locked me in the truck! I don't know how to pick a lock!" he yelled back. Soda came over to Kendra.

"Kendra, don't yell at Johnnycake. He couldn't have–."

"Yes he could of! He could of broken through the glass!"

Steve, who was glaring at Kendra and wringing his hands on his shirt tail, finally stood and took two long strides towards Kendra. He was taller than her so she cowered a little. "Kendra Matthews... I don't care if you're the sister of one of my best friends, I've been waiting to say this all day," he began, "It's all your fault this happened to him!" He yelled, pointing a finger at her. He was shaking a little, beginning to sweat too. She stood there, white in the jaw, staring right back at him.

"What...?" she whispered. Everyone was staring at them now.

"It's your fault, Kendra Matthews. You started this whole thing!" he explained. Kendra was shaking now, holding a finger to her lip with her arms wrapped around her. "It started when this morning, Two-Bit heard you lie about who got you pregnant." Steve's voice was hard. "You told your mother that I got you pregnant. I didn't sleep with you, ever and you know it."

"Steve got me... pregnant..."
"B-but..."

"Let me finish." he interrupted, crossing his arms over his DX shirt, "You told a lie... to save yourself from your mother. Then, Two-Bit came to the Curtis house and began to talk with Dally. After Dally pushed the reason out of Two-Bit for being so damn quiet, he knew it was a damned lie."

"Something's wrong. I can tell." I didn't answer him. Finally, I think he had given up and decided to beat it out of me. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and lifted me out of the chair. I dropped the book and stared at him. In one motion, he grinned at me and flipped me to the ground. He had my arms behind my back and one of his legs over both of mine, pinning me down.

"Ow..." I moaned out. Dally had his chin on my shoulder.

"Tell me and I'll release ya."

"Nothings wrong!" his grip tightened, "Ow!"

"Tell me!" At that point I felt his knee in my spine and pressing hard.

"OW! Dallas! Let me go!" I screamed at him. My eyes closed. Man, he's worst than a Soc if he wants to be.

"Tell me and I'll let ya go!"

"Kendra is pregnant!"

Steve didn't notice that Ms. Matthews and Darry had returned and that half of the waiting room guests were staring at him, quietly listening in. He went on, "Then I came. I had no clue what was going on. I began to talk to Two-Bit, until he pulled a gun on me. He looked hurt, disbelieving... he was ready to kill me." Steve continued, not giving Kendra a chance to speak, she didn't deserve it, he thought. "Then, Dally came in and began to talk Two-Bit out of it. Once Dally told him that Tim was the real father, he became suicidal."

On the word "suicidal", Darry became white, Ms. Matthews gasped and let tears fall, and Kendra's eyes grew large.

"No..." Kendra whispered.

"Two-Bit! DROP THE GUN!"
"Yes. He became suicidal. Darry," he turned to Darry, "Sorry we left that part out after Two-Bit left." then he turned back to Kendra, "But before he left, Darry came home, then you came in, yelling at Two-Bit about shooting the gun. And as you know, Darry went crazy and attacked him. But what they didn't know, that drove him further into suicidal mode." Kendra was crying by that time.

"So..." Kendra was sobbing.

"It was all your fault, Kendra. Darry might of helped just a bit, but he didn't know better..." Steve said, glaring hard at the sobbing Kendra. "It's all your fault!"
