Disclaimer: BlueCade here! Hope you haven't given up on me; I've been extremely busy. Thank you all for all of the AWESOME reviews; I love reading them cuz they just warm my little heart. LOL that is possibly the corniest thing I have ever written, but it is true. There's nothing like reading a good review on a story you've worked hard on, am I right? Well now, enough delay, here is Chapter 5!! ENJOY!
Chapter Five
I was in absolute heaven. I know a million girls back home would KILL to be able to go out with their favorite actors or singers or whatever. I was actually doing it! Two-Bit said I was his girlfriend! HAH! I can't wait to tell Gordy. I wonder it he'll get jealous…but no he doesn't like me like that.
"Earth to Shell!" Two-Bit's hand magically appeared in my face. "Anyone home?"
"No," I said, grinning, "I was zoning out."
"What were you thinking about, Shell?" Ponyboy asked me, smiling.
"Hey, now," Two-Bit suddenly straightened up, "Shell is MY nickname for MY girl. Got it?"
Pony winked. "Yeah, ok Two-Bit. Whatever you say."
Two-Bit grinned at me and stroked my hair as we walked. I almost collapsed.
We pretty much just wandered for the next couple of hours. Two-Bit and Pony showed my sister and me around the neighborhood, introducing us to a bunch of different friends of theirs like Tim Shepard and some of the Brumly Boys. They seemed cool; maybe a bit too tough for me.
Finally it was time for us to meet Dally at Soda and Pony's house. He and his date were sitting on the porch talking. What was her name? Blue? What an odd name for a girl…
To make a boring story short, Soda, Sandy, Ponyboy, Stargirl, Dally, Bleu, Two-Bit and I all made it to the movies safe and sound and picked a row to sit in the back. Two-Bit put his arm around me and I leaned in against his chest. Ponyboy eyed Two-Bit, then uncertainly did the same to my sister. Her face beamed as she snuggled against Pony, and he looked happy.
They looked so cute together! I just couldn't stand it anymore. When I was their age (jeez I'm acting like I'm old or something!) I didn't know love…I just knew friendship. Gordy and I hung out everywhere together; we were inseparable. I kinda wish he were here in Tulsa with us.
The movie ended; I wasn't really watching. I was too busy thinking about Gordy and Two-Bit and all of my new friends. Especially Two-Bit, though. I was thinking about what would happen if I stayed here. What Gordy would do. What Stargirl would do. What my parents would do. Would they fill out a missing persons report? Would Stargirl rat me out? But if she did, what could they do about it? I was back in time, in another state. They could do nothing. Plus, they wouldn't even believe her. I mean, incantations that bring people back in time? From the Internet? Oh please; you'll have better luck saying I was swallowed by a cow. Hah.
Two-Bit gently nudged me, interrupting my thoughts. "How'd you like the movie?"
"Uh, it was great! I liked that one part...with that guy...who did that thing…" Embarrassed, I turned red and hoped he ignored me blabber on about nothing.
Surprisingly, he jumped up and yelled. "Wow! So did I! I thought it was tuff how he did that! I'm so glad I met someone with the same interests as me!"
I tried to smile, but instead my eyebrows raised and I squinted. I glanced at Stargirl and she burst out laughing, burying her face in Ponyboy's chest.
Soda and Dally were both making out with their dates. Pony rolled his eyes and told Soda we would be walking home while they gave each other mouth-to-mouth. Soda gave him the thumbs up, and we strolled out of the theater.
Two-Bit's arm was permanently glued to my shoulder, and I leaned against him as we all walked back to Pony's house.
Suddenly I heard a twig break and I froze. "What is it, honey?" Two-Bit asked, dragging me along.
"Didn't you hear that?" I asked, looking around frantically. I knew something bad was going to happen; my blood ran cold.
"All I heard was your breathing, which I am very much thankful for," he answered sweetly, and kissed my forehead. I relaxed and squeezed his arm affectionately.
We walked on in silence, until out of the blue Stargirl got yanked backwards. I let out a yelp, and spun around. The blood quickly drained from my face as I realized we were greatly outnumbered. About seven Socs were behind us, and one was restraining my sister.
"Get her in the car and grab the other one!" the Soc who was dressed in red cried, and one with blonde hair grabbed me away from Two-Bit. He cried out in anger and lashed at the Socs, narrowly missing the blonde's face.
"Give me back my girl, you bastard!" he yelled, forming a fist. Ponyboy nervously backed him up, ready to fight the Socs and get Stargirl back.
I was whisked away from Pony and Two-Bit by a couple more Socs. I screamed for Two-Bit just before they shoved us in the car.
A strangely familiar face greeted me a second later, and climbed in back with me. He pulled me into his lap, and another Soc did the same to Stargirl.
"Let me go, you bastard!" I cried, trying to free myself.
"Did you just call me a bastard?" the Soc demanded angrily, "Don't you know who I am?"
"Hey, Simmons!" the driver turned around and looked at all of us.
"Yes?" three out of the four people in the back seat asked. We snapped our heads to stare at each other, and then I knew who the Soc was. My father!
Hope ya liked it! TAKE IT AWAY, IMMORTAL SOUL! LYLAS!! ;)
