Disclamer: the only thing I own is Leah.
Leah's POV
AN, this is just a short little
thing by Leah so there's not much dialogue or romance in it.
I woke up that morning and heard voices coming from the kitchen. I quickly hopped in the shower and then ran a brush through my hair. I pulled on some shorts and a tshirt with a big smiley face with it's tongue sticking out on. I smiled. Perfect. I had now been living with the Curtis 's for about two weeks and I felt right at home. Extremely corny, I know but I really felt like I belonged. Especially when Johnny Cade was around me.Everytime I thought about him I could feel the heat rising to my face. I really liked Johnny and I could tell he liked me too. Especially since the panic attack incident. I was really scared and upset and Johnny just held me and let me cry. Ok I know I'm being mushy again but I can't help it. I guess liking someone does that to you.
I walked into the kitchen
and was greeted with a chorus of hellos.
"Hey guys", I responded.
"It's a good
thing you're awake, said Two Bit, they were about to throw cold water on
you." I smiled sweetly and went over to Two Bit.
"Up yours and around
the corner hun" I told him. All of the guys stared at me for a moment then
Soda burst out laughing.
"Ouch Kitten, said
Two Bit, that was quite the comeback there." My name is really Leah
Agusta Normans but for some reason the guys had started calling me Kitten.
The first time Steve did it I asked him why and he replied ,
"Hmmm I don't know
Kitten, it just fits,"
I was broken out of
my thoughts when I heard Ponyboy's voice.
"Hey Kit when are
you going to let us hear your music,?" he asked. I looked around at all
the guys. Everyone was there except Darry. I guess he'd already left for
work. Ponyboy was waiting for me to answer, Soda and Steve were stuffing
cake into their mouths, Two Bit was poking at an egg, Dally looked half
asleep, and Johnny was looking at me with this look he gets. It's sort
of like he doesn't believe I'm real and he has to stare at me to make sure
he's not dreaming or something.
"I'll go grab some
right now," I told Ponyboy.
He nodded and said,
"Ok that'd be tuff." I left the kitchen and went back to the spare guest
room that I slept in. I grabbed my Cd player and Cds.
"Hmmmm, I thought,
what should I make them listen to first. I quickly flipped through my Cd
case and found exactly what I was looking for.
"Aha!, here it is,
Linkin Park," I cried. Ok if you really must know I really love Linkin
Park. They are probably my favorite band. I'm sure the guys will have heard
nothing like it. I walked back into the kitchen and stood next to Dally.
"
Dalllllllllly, I said,
wake up Dally." He lifted his head and scowled.
"Aren't you suppposed
to not do that," he asked?
I pretended to be
hurt and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry Dally, I just wanted to make
sure you were ok."
His look softened
a little bit and he nodded.
"So you got the music
Kitten?, asked Two Bit. I proudly held it up.
"Yup here it is, I'll
go put it on" "What's the name of it?" asked Soda. "Linkin Park,
I told him" They all looked confused and then Steve said,
"Well put it on already,"
said Steve.
"Sure thing Steve-O"
I told him and plugged in the Cd player. I've sorta given all the
guys nick names. It's just something I do. Two Bit is One Half, Ponyboy
is Jelly, ( you know like Pb and jelly), Soda is Orange Juice, Steve is
Steve-O, Johhny is Key Lime (Johnny Cakes.... pie), Darry is Roofman, and
Dally is Lynx boy. I find it extremely funny when I call them by their
nicknames but I guess sometimes they don't agree. Steve gave me the "why
are you calling me that look" and I just shrugged and grinned. Then I turned
up the volume and sat down and waited for their reactions. The first few
chords of "Papercut" began to play and the guys looked interested. Then
the beat got harder and quicker and they all grinned. I couldn't take the
pressure anymore so I got up and started to dance. You know, moving
my head to the beat and moving my arms and legs. A few more songs played
and I danced to those as well. Then I went over to the Cd player and turned
it off.
"Very tuff, Kitten,"
Dally told me.
"Yup and it looks
like you have more talents then just singing," Two Bit said.
No one said anything
for a moment so I decided to break the silence.
"Spork power!" I cried
triumphantly. All of the guys gave me a weird look.
"Leah?" asked Johnny
slowly. I
looked around and
said,"what? I was just trying to break the silence."
Two Bit ruffled my
hair a little bit. "You really are insane, Kitten," he told me. "Well,
I said, I am usually very honest." Ponyboy laughed a little and the rest
of the guys smiled. Except for Dally. He was shaking his head, but not
in a mean way. Then we all started eating and that concluded the morning
adventure.
Yeah! Thar was chapter 5. If you are confused about the insane bit, read chapter 3. Thanks and r/r. Firechild.
