It's 4:30 right now and I've been cooped up in the house with Soda all day. To say I am bored out of my mind is an understatement. I tried to go out in the backyard and sit in the tree to read my book but Soda wouldn't let me, saying that I needed to rest. So here I am laying on the couch staring up at the ceiling. Darry and Pony should be home soon, so maybe I can talk Darry into letting me go for a short walk. I really just need to get some fresh air, be alone, and clear my head of all my troubling thoughts. At 5 on the dot, Darry and Pony come through the door.
"Hey honey, how was your day?" Darry asks me setting his tool belt down.
I jump up off the couch. "Can I please go for a walk, Dar? I promise I won't go very far, I just need to get some fresh air to clear my head." I beg.
The look on his face tells me that he is having an internal battle with himself about whether he should let me or not.
"What's your pain level right now Sky? Don't even think about lying to me either." Darry asks firmly.
"Right now I would say it's around a 4 or 5." I tell him truthfully.
"Don't go any further then a block away from the house. Got it?" he says.
"Got it. Thank you, Darry." I say giving him a hug and smiling brightly at him.
"Be back before dinner." he says as I'm putting my sneakers and sweatshirt on.
"I will." I say as I walk out the door.
I start walking enjoying the beautiful weather and the nice day. I swear I'm not much more than half way down the street when I bump into someone and fall on my ass. I look up trying to see who it is but I can't because the sun is so bright. I stand up and I now can see who it is, and in an instant my mood goes from happy to angry and pissed off.
"What the hell do you want?" I hiss.
"Oh, I missed you too slut." Cole says with the same demon like smile on his face that Carter has.
"As if." I spit brushing pass him and continuing on my walk. I maybe take 5 steps before he grabs me by my hair and pulls me back in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going? We're going to have some fun." he says smirking.
"Won't Carter and Seth get mad at you for doing this without them?" I ask.
"Well they won't find out because this will be our little secret." he says still wearing that same smirk.
"Well hate to tell you but there will be nothing to tell them, because nothing is going to happen." I growl.
He just stands there laughing at me while he still has a grip on me. I try to yank myself away from him but his grip on me is too tight, so I do the next thing that pops into my head. I slap him across the face, hard. He turns back around and oh if looks could kill, I swear his eyes are actually red he is so angry right now. I take a few steps back distancing myself from him and raise my fists ready for a fight.
"You sure you really want to do this slut?" he asks also raising his fists.
"Well it's actually going to be a fair fight this time, so let's go." I spit and get ready to throw the first punch, but also bracing myself for the first hit at the same time.
Johnny's POV
I'm currently walking to the Curtis residence, I'm almost there when I hear some sort of commotion. I walk a little further and then I see what I heard, some greaser and soc are fighting. As I walk almost all the way past them I notice that it isn't just some greaser, that greaser is Sky and from the looks of it this fight has been going on for awhile. I can see the blood on her fists and the few punches that her and the soc have both endured. I run as fast as I can the rest of the way to the Curtis house, I run up the front steps and into the house letting the door slam loudly behind me.
"Whoa Johnny. What's going on?" Dally asks.
I take a few seconds before answering his question trying to catch my breath and I notice that the whole gang is here.
"Fight." is all I get out at first.
"Did you get in a fight?" Darry asks standing up from his recliner. Always the protective one, no matter who it is in the gang.
"No. Sky is in a fight with a soc, I saw her when I was walking here and ran as fast as I could." I say.
"Where?" Soda growls.
"Not far from the house. We might want to hurry though, it looked like the fight had been going on for awhile when I walked by." I tell them.
Darry, Soda, and Pony immediately run out the door and me and the rest of the gang follow them. I don't have to tell them where to go because you can hear the fight going on as we're running down the street and soon we come face to face with the fight.
Darry's POV
The minute Johnny says the words fight and Sky, Soda, Pony, and I book it out the door with everyone following us. We run a little less than half way down the street and then we see Sky fighting with some soc. She is back to to us so I can't see the damage that that soc has caused. I don't really care right now, all I care about is stopping this fight.
"Leave her alone!" I shout from not even 4 feet away from them.
"Back off Darry." Sky growls not even looking at me.
"Get away from her." I growl once again trying to end this fight.
"Darry stop! This is my fight, now let me finish it." she growls while throwing a hard right hook to the socs jaw. I knew she could fight, but I never knew it was this good. I smile slightly proud of her, but that smile quickly disappears when the soc lands a hard punch to her stomach which causes her to grimace but it doesn't seem to faze her at all. She lands another solid punch to the socs nose, the soc brings his hand up to his face and wipes away the blood bleeding from his nose and then focuses his attention back on Sky. He punches her again in the jaw and then knees her in the stomach causing her to fall to the ground.
I can't continue to watch my little sister get beat up, so I take a step forward prepared to step in the middle of the two of them, but Pony holds me back.
"What are you doing Pony?" I hiss.
"She will be pissed at you if you step in. Look at her anyways it doesn't really look like she needs our help, just let her handle this, I think she needs to do this. If it was any old fight she would've let you step in by now, this one has to be personal so let her finish it." he says.
I didn't think about that but now that he said that, I know that he's right.
Back to Sky's POV
I guess Darry listened to my warning because he hasn't stepped in yet. I quickly scramble to my feet and then I land another solid punch to Cole's face and then he lands another one to my stomach followed by one to my face. I reach up and touch my split lip, when I pull my finger away it's covered in blood. Oh he is going to regret even getting in this fight with me.
"Ready to give up and beg for mercy yet slut?" Cole asks smirking.
"What the hell did you call her!?" Soda growls.
"Soda shut the hell up!" I shout at him.
"Ready to cry because you got beat by a little girl?" I spit focusing my attention back on Cole. I then land not one but two punches to his face and one to his stomach. He doubles over and falls to the ground, he starts to get back up but I kick him in the stomach making him stay down.
"Told you that you'd be crying." I spat as he stands up and sulks away.
He's only a short distance away from me when he turns around and says, "this isn't over slut." and then continues to walk away.
I disregard his threat for now and smile brightly because I actually beat one of my abusers. I turn around smiling from ear to ear and come face to face with my brothers who don't look happy and the gang. Huh, I forgot that they were here, so I brace myself for the slue of questions that will be coming my way.
Please review!
