Here is chapter 38.
Steve was still at the DX piddling around trying to find something to occupy his frenzied mind when Two-Bit came tearing back into the parking lot. He always drove crazy like that, but it was evident he was heated about something.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Two-Bit shouted angrily as he jumped out of his car and slammed the door.
"What are you talking about man?" Steve asked even though he had a pretty good idea what the yelling was all about.
Two-Bit was furious and Steve could tell. He was never scared of Two-Bit, even when he was mad, but with everything else being so screwed up the last thing he needed was Two-Bit throwing a temper tantrum and losing his cool on him.
"You know what! Marcia is a good girl and you put your hands on her, even after all that all she talked about was you. I know it don't bother you to rough up a girl, but it bothers me. She's not like us Steve, she's a Soc! And what about Evie?" Two-Bit ranted.
What about Evie? What did that mean? Steve knew Two-Bit and the rest of the gang, except maybe Dally, had views on hitting women, but Steve figured if they deserved it as much as a man why not? But bringing Evie into it was just uncalled for, he had never hit her. He realized something that annoyed him right then, he didn't like other guys talking about his girl.
"What about Evie?"
Two-Bit stepped the distance between them, "Nothin' man, just stay away from Marcia." Two-Bit said as he shoved Steve.
That had taken it too far. He hadn't asked Marcia to come, and she had hugged him, not the other way around. On top of that, Steve wasn't going to stand for being pushed by anyone; he didn't even take that from his old man. This one act made it official; the gang was falling apart at the seams.
The fight was on between Steve and Two-Bit.
