~~Warning Violence~~


When ponyboy woke up, he quickly gathered his stuff, and hurried out of the bar; which was easy since everyone there was busy nursing a hangover or asleep.

After getting another meal from the dingo, Ponyboy decided that he wanted to look around this town. Walking around, Ponyboy notices that the leaves are starting to change colors. And looking at the ground he noticed that the ground was covered with a nice layer of fallen leaves; and the smell of freshly bloomed flowers, traveled through the air.

Ponyboy not noticing, he walked into a richer part of town.

"Hey Greaser," A gruff voice said, snapping Ponyboy from his thoughts

"What are you doing in our part town?"

"You know Randy, I think we need to take this trash out" Said another man, taking out a switchblade, as the others quickly circled around him. getting into a fighting stance, Ponyboy was getting ready to stand his ground; but just as he was about to trow a punch, on of the guys came up behind him, and held his arms behind his back. As soon as they knew ponyboy couldn't fight back, they went to work on him...

5 minutes later, but for pony it felt like hours, he was laying on the ground, he was covered in cuts and bruises, and had some of him hair missing.

"If we ever see you near here again greaser, we will end you" one of them said as the other laughed, walking away.

Ponyboy, laying on the sidewalk where they left him, tried to get up; but every time he lifted his head, he felt dizzy.

Eventually though, a nice young man, who looked awfully familiar, walked up to him and asked if he needed any help. After the young man didn't get a response, he quickly lifted Ponyboy up, and hurried him towards his friends house


Two Bit Matthews was a known alcoholic; so him walking into a store to shoplift some beer wasn't the weird; but him running into the Curtis house with a random kid was.

"SODA! DARRY!" Two Bit called, causing the young man

"Yeah" Soda asked, still half asleep.

"We have an emergency!"

"Two Bit, the store not having your favorite beer isn't an emergency" Soda said, rolling back over.

"NO! Its not me! Its him" Two Bit said, pulling Soda off the couch and pointing towards the boy, laying on the floor.

"Oh God! What happened!?" Soda said, getting up, and rushing towards the boy.

"I don't know! But, I think it was those damn socs!"

"Ok, well that doesn't matter! Go get me the emergency kit from the bathroom!" Soda said, making two bit run to the bathroom. When he got back Soda got to work fixing up the boy as best as he could.

"There" Soda said, looking down at him work. "it's not much, but at least he isn't bleeding anymore; go put him down in my bed, and if the others come, make sure they stay quiet, the kid looks exhausted.."

After Soda walks out of the room to wash up, Two Bit picks Ponyboy up and carries him to Soda's room. When Two Bit walks back into the living room, Dally, Johnny and Steve walks in.

"Hey guys" Two Bit says, plopping down on the couch, and grabbing the remote. "Try to be quiet a kid is sleeping in Soda's room"

"Why is there a kid in soda's room?" Dally asks, putting out his cigarette, "I didn't know this place was a B & B"

"Well, smart ass" Two Bit said, making Dally snarl, "It looks like he was hurt by the socs or something, so I brought him here."

"Damn socs"

"Anyway, anyone wanna watch Mickey with me?" Two-bit asked, causing Dally, and Steve to roll their eyes.


Ponyboy woke up to his head in tons of pain; after lifting his head off the pillow, he felt dizzy, and like he was gonna puke, so he put his head back down.

'what happened?' Ponyboy thought, trying to remember what put him in this situation; Suddenly, the memories of what happened to him. He shuddered thinking of the pocket knife they pulled out.

turning over onto his side, in a speed that would make a snail look fast, he got a better look around the room. The room was littered with dirty clothes, and the dresser looked stuffed full of clothes; and the walls seemed to have polaroids of that movie star from the DX and some lady, and some that seems to be his friends.

"oh your awake" A voice said, snapping Ponyboy from his thoughts. "Does anything hurt?" The movie star asked, worry clear in his voice.

Ponyboy, even though he knows it's rude, stays quiet.

"you don't speak much do you?" he asked

Ponyboy shook his head no.

"Well that's OK; you'll still fit in fine with our gang"

'gang!" Ponyboy thought, scared; While on the street he has met, and made enemies with a lot of gangs; and he sure as hell didn't want to become involved with another one. Slowly, trying not to upset his head, he gets up, and tries to get as far as he can from the gang member.

"Hey, Hey it's ok" The gang member tried to soothe him, but failing. "Its OK.. I won't hurt you."

Ponyboy, being backed into a wall, saw that an open window was by him, and quickly jumped out of it.

"Oh my god, GUYS HELP" Soda screamed, as the young boy jumped out. As the others came in, he heard dally scream "kid what the FUCK do you think your doing!"

Looking out the window, and seeing Dallas chase after this boy, would have been funny; Twobit was actually chuckling to himself- but the others were racing out to the front to help try and catch the kid.


No matter how far, or fast Ponyboy ran; the guy who was out front smoking wouldn't stop chasing him. But he knew he couldn't keep running for much longer, sure he loves running, and often dreamed of being on a track team, but his head was pounding and he felt like he was gonna die.

Finally giving in to the pain, he collapsed under a tree that so conveniently was there (😉) and luckily for Ponyboy, Dallas thought he was still on the move. After making sure that no one else was coming, he laid down under the tree, and tried to sleep off the headache.


Yay, Another Chapter! This is the longest chapter, I've wrote (so far!), and I plan on making all the future chapter longer too!

Anyway thanks for reading!
