All characters are S.E. Hintons except the lovely Ashley Mathews, she is mine. I'm not making money off of this. A couple of other really good stories about the Outsider are Hardened by Seselian and What About Me? By Maverick. If you haven't read those stories yet I command you to do so NOW!

Oh, God, I've never been jumped before, but I saw Johnny and Ponyboy after they had been jumped and…oh God help me!

I saw the blue Covair trailing me slowly. I knew they had their eyes on me from the way they were driving. What would they do to a girl? I've never seen a girl after she'd been jumped. Did they…I shuddered thinking about it. Well, there's no use running for it…what am I going to do? The car drove faster right behind me and parked. I heard the doors opening and closing.

Help.

I could just picture me after words laying on the ground sobbing and screaming for Two-bit.

Three Socs came up to me.

"Well, look what we've got here," One said. "Hey baby, need a ride?" He asked.

"No," I said. For some reason my voice was steady, but I was scarred.

"No, we insist," He said.

Suddenly all three of them came toward me. I started screaming as loud as I could. I have a very powerful scream. I wasn't too far away from the Curtis house…maybe they'd here me.

"TWO-BIT!" I screamed.

Two of them grabbed my arms. I twisted around, luckily they had underestimated my strength and I was able to run away, toward the Curtis house. I'm pretty strong for a girl.

"Help!" I screamed. I heard their footsteps behind me, their laughing scarred me even more.

"PONYBOY, STEVE, SOMEONE HELP!" I shrieked.

I was then tackled to the ground. The wind was knocked out of me. A guy sat on my back, holding my hand behind my back.

"Oh, God, please let me die," I thought to myself.
