Hey guys sorry last chapter was so short, I wasn't sure were to go with it and I didn't want to make it sort of predictible. I don't own the outsiders only Ember, a tv, a phone and Sarah. Any ideas please share, you will get credit. Lets jump into chapter 14!
Chapter 14: Is it really?
Sarah's P.O.V
I wasn't doing much during the day, but when I saw the Outsiders and I screamed my head off. I haven't seen that movie in SO long, and I have a "healthy" obsession with Ralph Macchio and Matt Dillion. WHY'D THEY HAVE TO GET OLD!? So I was at the part where Dally (fan girl giggle) was flirting with Cherry, I was jelouse of that STUPID- the phone rang during my mental rant to my suprise it was Ember.
"Hey Sarah"
"Hey Ember"
"Are you watching the Outsiders?" She sounded like she finished crying and was worried.
"Yeah. Hahaha Dally fell off his chair." I giggled at that part every single time I watch this. I felt a little worried about Ember.
"Ember are you alright? Hello Ember you still there?" I asked slowly
'Yeah I'm still here, just making sure you were watching the movie."
"Bye" and we hung up. That was odd, she normally says something weird that makes me laugh for a few minutes. I continued watching fangirling over everything.
Soda's P.O.V
It broke my heart seeing everyone so upset, but we missed Ember and it was the truth. We had to see her, we were meant to be friends like best friends for life. We sat around the camp fire hoping a good enough chance would come so we can see her. But we just lazed around the campfire we started "from scratch", Dally got annoyed of us rubbing sticks and just switched his lighter out and it was a burnin. We weren't sure what to do anymore, without Ember we were a bunch of depressed teens with nothing better to do. We just thought of ideas and they never worked out. We a group of 7 heads hopelessness filling inside us until they flow out of our eyes and tire us out. We wait until the fire is no higher then embers and fall asleep in the nice warm night, I heard Pony and Johnny whisper while they watched the stars glide in the night. They remembered all the good times we had, and the funniest of them to, boy we had a lot more fun then I realized. No one wanted to go back to our house, not even we just slept during the night waking up every now and again and we laughed like we did in our memories, then a flicker of tired washes through us and to our interesting memories we go. Sometime during the night I guess Darry went back to our place and grabbed some pillows and blankets and threw them on top of us. We didn't really need them, but it was better then sleeping on the ground, so after everyone waking and falling back asleep we decided to make it a little more comfertable. We ended up looking up at the stars telling each other what the stars are shaped like and they're stories. Ever since we got home, this is the happiest we've been. -snap crunch-
"Guys hear that?" I loudly whisper.
"Soda go to bed." Someone yawned. I thought I saw a figure, but ignore it. We were tired from our hidden tears.
Ember's P.O.V
Where was I, the place seemed familiar well some parts. The only thing that actually seemed familiar was a fountain. I knew where I was going from here. I walked inside, the sun started to peak at the sky making the clouds a light shade of rose and gold. Mist rising from the ground adding color to the early morning dew. It was beautiful something from a dream or a movie. The only difference was that this was real and not in my mind or fixed and photoshoped. The sky changed from a diamond dark sky full of mystery and wonders to a sky bringing life and color to the world. Conrtolling the beauty and life of the world and the sun as its spotlight waking all the creatures that roam its canvas. I had a feeling this place won't have any life until the group comes inside. I snake through town, keeping attention everywhere but to me. I slipped through the park and see 7 figures camping on the ground, tears freshly dripped leave small traces of themselves on their faces. But the thing that confuses me is their hidden smile behind their messy hair and sorrowfilled memories which will hopefully seem like a terrible realistic dream. I try not to wake them, let them find me on their own thinking they're going mad. I quietly run back to their house before Darry could wake. I surprisingly find a balloon and fill it with water keeping a promise to myself haha. I lay on their couch making him belive I was asleep luckily he was to tired to even notice, he goes to another room and I sneak away with perfect timing. I go back to see if anyone has awakened Soda and Steve gone, good chance at the DX. I slip a hat on that I buy at a old store, and walk in. Steve hears their little bell gingle as the door opens and continues to look through a magasene. He looked up when I walked through, he only saw a glimpse of me, I go through the door again when a few people walk in. I watch through a window as he scratches his head and goes back to work. Soda comes in and I can hear their conversation.
"Soda I think I saw her." He whispers in a worry
"Steve we've been thinking about her like crazy alright you're just loosing your mind is all. Don't worry we all go through that stage." He says with a smile and twinkle in his eye. Plan still working, time for Bucks. I walk in their like everyone knew me and start talking to someone making sure Dally heared me and slipped off hoping they put two and two together. I just happen to stop by the movies, knowing Pony would go here eventually and hopefully today was the day he'd go. They day was today I sat infront of him and went to grab a soda and popcorn. I knew he would follow me but I was too quick for the guy and hid around the corner, then he went inside. Johnny and Two-bit were a little trickier but they were on their way to the Curtis's I would cough and one of them turned around I did a little nod, they're turn around and back to me. By the time they made sure I was really there I was gone. Boy this was pretty fun. After I finnished off, I found them all at the DX hanging out and skipped to the empty sunlit house. I tried following them without having anyone see me, it was much easier then I thought it would be. I went to the dingo so I wouldn't be standing outside a window starving. I walk back to make sure they were home. Just my luck they were mooping around. Until I knocked on the door waiting for their surprised faces trying not to laugh.
Pony's P.O.V
The day was full of surprises, things were almost getting back together almost. When we all caught up with each other we all told our sitings of Ember being here, but Darry shook his head. He missed her so much he didn't want to be filled with disappointment and that would break his heart even more, so he didn't believe us. I couldn't blame him, but ALL of us seeing her in the places we go to. I didn't know what to believe anymore, sometimes I walked around town in my socks. I did get a stare every now and again but it wasn't as bad as the time I ran out in my boxers through the neighborhood. I still get the images in my head when I sleep. I wished, no begged that we'd see her in person as long as I'm wearing all my clothes and not like last time. So being the "paranoid" group we are now we tried to keep a close eye every time we saw her, she'd have to come out eventually. Around 7:25 p.m Johnny and Dally went to the lot, and I went to go watch the sunset. Johnny beat me to it with Dally next to him, Dal didn't seem to excited but it made Johnny happy that he came and that was a good enough reason for Dally to stay with us. After that Johnny came back to my house while Dally went to Bucks for a poker game. I don't think two-bit left his spot and Soda,Steve, and Darry were playing a little poker. Soda tried to slip an ace but Steve saw him and they were at it again, Darry just wanted to finish the game, but that wouldn't happen for a while and decided to fold and start dinner. While we kept ourselves out of Steve and Soda tackling each other and knocking things all over the place, we heard a knock. We all stopped and looked at each other I swear I heard some dramatic music while I was about to answer it, normally everyone just walks in knocking on it is completely unusual. I opened it, and Dally was on the porch with his hands full. We heard a famillair voice
"DALLY PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW! i AM NOT KIDDING, THIS WAS FUN AT FIRST BUT AFTER BLOCKS OF THIS ITS JUST ANNOYING!" Everyone looking at another with the happiest faces on and let him in right away. But before he let go of the person he said with a huff here and there
"I brought you guys something." Darry came in with a curious look. After he sat the person down and moved out of the way we had a wave of shock and a lightning bolt of excitement. It was her she was back
Ember is back!
Dally's P.O.V
After the sunset thing, I went off to Bucks for a poker game. I could of went to Pon'ys place but Steve and Soda rarely finished a game. So after being the winner for a few rounds I went back to the curtis's, I heared a little rustle in a bush and knew it couldn't have been an animal. They would of ran off by now. I checked behind it and nothing, alright I am not paranoid. I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye and decided to follow my gut my very awesome hard ab like gut and went for it. Of course I was following it down an alley way wait a minute this was someones territory who's was it again. Thats when they came out surrounding the mystery person and their figure, one look of me and backed off. Luckily the person didn't look behind them I knew who it was right away. Over my shoulder she went, so I acted like nothing abnormal happening.
"Hows your following coming along?" I asked
"It was going great until you followed me, but I'm glad you did." She said.
"We're goin to the Curtis's so everyone can see you."
"Dal please I-" she started begging. I set her down and grabbed her shoulders.
"Listen everyone's been missin you like crazy, its taken a few days just for things to get back to normal and somethin felt like it was missin. No one's been the same besides you don't have a choice." Before she opened her mouth I slid her over my shoulder again laughin like crazy. We finally made it to their house, I took a deep breath and knocked with my foot. I couldn't let her have an advantage of getting free and Pony had a look on his face that said
"I don't want to know what your up to and yet I want to know." He held the door opened for me and I said loudy
"Guys, I brought somethin for you." and everyone came to see. I moved out of the way.
