assure you that it will be good. Please bear with me through the boring
chapters, the next one will be sooooo much better.
How come no one's reviewing?? Please Review, It makes me smile.
Chapter 6
Taylor began to spend more time at the Curtis', and became close friends with them and the other boys. She'd often go there after school and just hang out. Eventually, everyone would be there.
"Hey Taylor, go get me a coke." Two-Bit said from the couch.
"What, are your legs broken?" she asked. Two-Bit collapsed from the couch, clutching his legs.
"Yes!" he cried, "and a coke is the only thing that will heal them."
Ponyboy rolled his eyes and nudged Two-Bit's ribs with his toe. Taylor blew out an exasperated breath and stood up.
"Fine you baby." She said, walking into the kitchen. As soon as she was gone Two-Bit hopped up and sat back down on the couch.
"Hey Soda, me and this girl Evie are going out dancing Friday, you wanna come?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, I'll bring Sandy. Hey Two-Bit, you and Kelly wanna come if your legs heal?" Soda said.
"Nah. Me and Kelly broke up. I don't feel like going alone."
Taylor walked back in and handed Two-Bit his coke. Two-Bit kept his eyes on her and smiled. He glanced at Soda and slowly he smiled too.
"What?" Taylor asked warily, "What are you staring at?"
Two-Bit leaped up from the couch. "Hey Taylor, Soda and Steve and their girlfriends are going dancing on Friday and I was wondering if you wanna go with me?"
She cocked an eyebrow, mimicking him, "I thought you only date blondes."
"I can make an exception."
She pressed her lips together, thinking. "Okay," she said finally.
When she got home from school on Friday, she knew it would be really hard to convince her parents to let her go. But she tried anyway.
"Taylor, another boy?"
"Mom how many times do I have to tell you that he's just a friend?"
"How can you be sure?"
"And how can you be sure he's not?" She said, turning away.
"Taylor dinner's almost ready."
"I'm not hungry." She ran up the stairs and slammed her door shut. Downstairs she heard her mom calling her dad. She walked over to her bed and lifted up the mattress, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She waved her arm around as she smoked so her parents wouldn't smell anything. 'I'm going,' she thought, 'and they can't stop me'. She changed into a pale blue shirt with a red rose on it and a black skirt. She pulled her hair back into a half-ponytail but several strands in the front still hung out, her bangs that had grown out but weren't long enough to reach her ponytail. She looked fine but she still had no way of getting out of the house. She went over to her window and looked out at the sky. She realized that she could get out onto the roof. She opened her window and grabbed a book off her dresser. After going out the window and onto the roof, she put the book on the windowsill so the window couldn't close all the way. Then she took off her heels and crept over to the end of the roof. Luckily, she could slip off the end onto the porch railing then down onto the grass. She quickly put her shoes back on and ran down the street.
She knocked on the Curtis' door and Darry opened it.
"Hey. Come on in."
She walked in and greeted Pony and Steve, who were sitting on the couch, watching T.V.
"Soda's in the shower," Pony said. She nodded and sat down next to him.
"You look nice," Steve remarked.
"Hey Darry have you seen my-" Soda stopped midsentence as he walked down the hall, wearing only a towel. Then he smiled.
"You guys could at least warn me that a girl's here."
Taylor laughed, it was a sound she realized she only heard when she was around them, her friends.
"I'm gonna go get changed," Soda said, heading for his room. The door knocked again but before anyone got up, it opened.
"I'm here, the party can start now," Two-Bit announced.
"Oh good, we were waiting for you to get here," Steve said, rolling his eyes. Soda came back out, fully dressed.
"I'm ready."
"I gotta pick up Evie," Steve said.
"Yeah, I gotta get Sandy too," Soda replied, "Oh, Dally said he and Sylvia might stop by."
"They're back together?" Pony asked.
"Yeah, last week," Steve said giving Pony a look that made him lean back against the couch, his eyes on the ground. Taylor bit her lip, she knew how quiet Pony usually was, and just when he starts talking Steve shut him up. Her eyes met Pony's sympathetically.
"Well, we'll meet you there," Two-Bit said, walking over to Taylor. She stood up.
"Alright, see you." Soda said. Taylor followed Two-Bit outside to his car, and they got in. It started with an unreassuring clatter, but it ran fine.
"You wanna grab something to eat first?" He asked.
"I don't care. I'm not that hungry."
"Alright."
As they drove, Two-Bit told her about his family, his mom and little sister.
"What about your dad?"
"He left when I was young."
"I'm sorry."
Two-Bit shrugged, "I don't care."
Despite his carefree attitude, Taylor believed that he really did care.
"What about your family?" he asked.
"My mom's overprotective and my dad doesn't care at all what happens to me."
"I'm sorry,"
"I don't care." As she said that she felt her own thoughts being flung back at her. She hated that.
"Well, here we are." Two-Bit said.
From the looks they were getting, Taylor figured she wasn't the only person that knew Two-Bit only dated blondes. The looks didn't seem to bother him though, he actually seemed proud as he walked through the room, his arm around her waist. He liked the attention.
"Two-Bit, I almost didn't recognize you," a voice said from behind them. They turned around and Taylor saw a lean boy with curly black hair. His eyes were hard and cold and his nose looked like it had been broken more than once.
"Hey Tim," Two-Bit said.
"Who's the chick?" Tim asked. Taylor hated when people talked like she wasn't in the room.
"My name's Taylor, and I'm not deaf so if you have a question about me ask me, not someone else."
"Feisty. I like it. Where you from?"
"New York City. I just moved here."
"You got a number?"
"Not one that I'm gonna give to you."
"Why not?"
"Knock it off Tim." Two-Bit said. Tim looked coldly at Two-Bit but turned away and gestured to someone. A girl came up and put her arms around Tim's neck. Two-Bit's eyes burned with rage, and Taylor recognized her in a second. It was Kelly.
"See you later," Tim said as they walked off. Two-Bit cursed him out under his breath. Taylor kept her eyes on them, what a tramp that Kelly was.
"Trust me Two-Bit you're better off without her." She remarked
Okay lame I know but the next chapter is really good, I promise.
