"Raleigh? Raleigh...get up." Eric said as she shook a sleeping Raleigh. She had fallen asleep on the way back to Italy's house so he just let the two girls stay at his house.
"Eric? Go away!" Raleigh said, sounding very much like a five-year-old, as she pulled the covers over her head. Eric pulled the covers down and sat by her. Raleigh let out a big sigh as she opened her eyes and looked at her friend.
"What?" Raleigh asked very impatiently.
"Nothing! I just wanted to tell ya' that Pepsi went back to her house to get some different clothes on. She tried to wake you up but it didn't work." Eric said as he smiled at her and shook his head.
"I'm leaving this afternoon." Raleigh said as she walked toward the bathroom.
"WHAT!" Eric yelled as he jumped off his bed. "Well," he said a little calmer now that the initial shock had worn off, "Do you still want me to go with you?"
"Yeah...I do." Raleigh said from the bathroom. When she came out she sat down by him. Raleigh looked at Eric for a long time before she spoke.
"Eric, do you know how Scott died?" Raleigh asked so quietly that it took Eric a minute to catch what she said.
"Raleigh, I don't think I should be the one to tell you that." He replied as he began to remember that night.
"I don't care Eric. I want to know how my brother died." Raleigh said back to him. She could feel the muscles in her throat contracting as she thought about her brother.
"Well..." Eric started as he thought back about it. "Ya know how Scott was...always coming to the rescue when somebody was in trouble. Hell, he thought he could take on the world. Probably could with all the determination he had in him. Anyway, I think it was that Cheryl chick...you remember her? The blonde? Well anyway, we were at some place and some strange guy was trying to get all up on her. She yelled for help and Scott walked over and told the guy to leave her alone. The guy grabbed a bottle and busted the end. He took a few swiped at Scott. Scott grabbed his pocketknife and pinned the guy's shirt to the wall so he couldn't move. Well when Scott bent down to help Cheryl up, the guy jerked suddenly and stabbed Scott in the side. I guess he didn't think it was too bad, so he drove Cheryl home and then went back to your old place...and.." Eric trailed off as images flooded through his mind. He was jerked back into reality when he heard Raleigh try to hold back a sob. He reached around and pulled her into a hug. Eric sat there, and held her as she finally let go and cried for her brother.
Soon, Italy was back and Raleigh and Eric had everything packed for him that he would need. They loaded his stuff along with Italy and Raleigh's things into Raleigh's car. By 2 o'clock they were headed back to Oklahoma.

"Hello?" Darry said as he answered the phone.
"Yeah...um Darry? It's Raleigh." She said as she sucked in a breath waiting for his response.
"RALEIGH!?!?! Oh my goodness! Where are you? Dallas is worried about you! When are you coming back? Are you ok?" Darry practically yelled into the phone. Raleigh let out her breath and smiled.
"Darry, I'm fine. I'm on my way back. I.... I uh brought back a couple a friends with me. I hope that's ok."
"Yeah that's fine! I'm so happy your coming back. Raleigh listen...about the other night...I'm sorry..I-" Darry started but was interrupted.
"Um, Darry I got to go...I'll be back sometime tomorrow. Bye." Raleigh replied and hung up before he had a chance to say anything else. She climbed back into her car and made sure that Eric and Italy were still asleep before taking off.

Darry ran out of the house and out to his truck. He hopped in a drove as fast as he could to the Dingo. He had to find Dallas. When he got there he found Dallas, Johnny, and Ponyboy waiting on their food. Soda, Steve, and Two-Bit were walking around somewhere talking.
"Dallas! You are never going to believe who I just talked to on the phone." Darry said as he jumped out of the truck and came over to the boys.
"Who?" Dallas asked with an eyebrow raised in interest.
"RALEIGH!" Darry practically screamed. Dallas' eyes got as big around as tennis balls when Darry said this. He jumped out of his seat and grabbed Darry's shirt.
"Daryl Michael Curtis, I swear if you are lying to me, you will regret the day you were born!" Dallas said in a very cruel voice. But Darry just smiled.
"Dally! Man, I ain't lying she said she's be in town by tomorrow. She's coming back. She said that she had some friends with her. I tried to apologize but she wouldn't let me." Darry stated as he fixed his shirt.
"Well I'll be hot damned." Was the only response Dallas gave as he sat back down. Only one thought ran through his mind. 'She's coming back!'
Hey I hoped ya'll liked it! Ya know the drill...read and review or no more story!
