Chapter 33~ Rumble #2

Soda P.O.V

We were waiting outside for the signal.

I was tapping my fingers nervously, wishing Ash would just hurry up already. "See it yet?" I asked Darry for the hundredth time. Darry sighed, "No Sodapop, I haven't seen It yet." He answered, and I sighed frustrated. I started pacing a little, worried for my soon to be wife. I smiled at the thought, Ashley being my wife, walking down the aisle….

"There It is!"

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Two-Bit yelled it, and I started running with Darry and our whole gang. They weren't going to get my Ash.

Ashley P.O.V

"Well look who it is!"

I walked very scardly in the club where all of Bob's followers were standing in front of me. I looked at the guy who had spoke, and glared when I realizd who it was. "Joey." I grumled, holding my side to let them think I was still injured. He had a sad and pissed look on his face. "You got a lot of nerve coming here after what your boyfriend did to your cousin." He spit out, and I stepped forward now angry. "Im glad Soda did that, BTW, Bob wasn't even classified as my cousin."
I said back, and a few guys got up from their seats.

"It doesn't matter, caus now we gunna finish you. For Bob."

I started backing up when they all walked forward, and I 'accidently' hit the light switch for the outside light. "GO!" I heard someone yell, and in a few seconds, at least 50 Greasers busted through doors, windows, and I ran to the closet I saw on my way in. I slammed the door and leaned against the back, out of breath for some reason. Suddenly someone knocked on the door, but I locked it, afraid of who it was.

"Ash, its me! Sodapop!"

I knew it was as soon as he started talking, and I quickly opened the door and let him in. He had a switchblade in his hand, and he had a huge black eye. "Are you okay?" I asked, tracing my fingers over the bruise. Soda smiled at me, "Im fine, but we gotta get you outa here." He said, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the closet. "Wher-" I cut myself off when we started running, and I saw Johnny and Ponyboy fighting some huge guy. Johnny was on his back biting him, and the guy had Pony in a headlock. "Soda!" I yelled, and pointed to Pony and Johnny. He pushed me in a room and I saw him sprint over and kick the guy in the balls, Pony fell to the floor out of breath.

"Get up Pony!"

Sodapop grabbed him and Johnny and we started running out of the club again. I dodged a few knives, and punched a guy in the face when he tried to grab Johnny. Johnny smiled at me, "Thanks." I smiled back while still running. "No problem Johnnycakes." I answered, and we were almost out of the club. Soda still had my hand, I suddenly heard a scream. I knew who it was too. We turned to see Two-Bit laying on the ground, blood pouring out of his side. "Two-Bit!" I screamed and fell to his side, along with Soda. "Come on Two, stay awake!" Soda yelled, trying to stop the blood flowing out. "Nice try." We all looked up to see Joey standing there, a smile on his stupid ginger face.

"I Hate you!"

I jumped on him suddenly, and started to pound him with my fist and kicked him as hard as I could. "Ash, No!" Sodapop shouted, but I kept going. Joey was taking by surprise at first, but now he finally threw me to the ground. I felt blood run down my arm, but I didn't care. Soda helped me up, and I gasped when I saw Joey holding a gun pointing at us.

"You have no idea how long I wanted to do this."

I looked at Soda and he hugged me close, preparing for his death. I was about to shout no, but Joey never shot. HE fell to the ground, with a bloddy knife in his back.

Standing behind him was Two-Bit.
