When I woke up I found Two-Bit asleep in the chair. He was holding my hand. I smiled. He looked so adorable asleep, but he was way more adorable awake. "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty," I whispered.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at me. His eyes....Oh, God, gorgeous eyes.
"Hey. Morning, Baby," Two-Bit said.
"Morning."
"Ready to go home?"
I nodded.
"Lets get you some crutches then we can go."
"Okay."
Two-Bit kissed me then got up to get my crutches. Once he came back, we left.
The burns on my back weren't bothering me so it made it much easier for me to walk, or shall I say, hobble. I got the hang of my crutches pretty fast. But theres a down side to being a disabled greaser in a decent part of town.
Two-Bit had to make a phone call so he went to a pay phone. I was just standing there when some stupid Soc kid came up behind me and stole my crutches. I collapsed to the ground. "Ow!" I screamed. "Jackass, come back here!" Two-Bit heard me scream and turned around. I've never seen him so mad. He dropped the phone and ran after the Soc. He beat up the Soc and got my crutches back.
"You okay, Hon?" he asked.
"I will be I guess." He helped me up and gave me my crutches back. We walked back to his car in silence. The drive to the Curtis house was that way too. When we pulled up front of the house I said, "Thanks, Two-Bit."
"No problem." He grinned and got out of the car. Before I could open the door myself, he went to my side and opened the door for me. When I stood up, my leg got a real sharp pain and I stumbled.
"Ow," I whispered.
"You okay?" Two-Bit asked as he caught me.
"I dunno."
"I'll help you then." He picked me up and carried me into the house.
When we crossed over the threshold, I heard Soda yell, "They got married!"
"Shut up, Sodapop," Two-Bit said good-naturedly.
Two-Bit sat me down on the couch and a throbbing pain shot through my leg. I winced. "You okay, Roxy?" Two-Bit asked.
"Couldnt be better, honey. Couldnt be better." I lied. He gave me a funny look then went into the kitchen for a beer. I looked at the floor for a long time. I zoned out for only God knows how long. Ponyboy brought me back to reality.
"Little One, whats wrong?" Pony asked.
"Nothing. Why do you ask?"
"You know me and Johnny can tell when you're upset so dont say nothing's wrong. What is it?"
I sighed. "Some Soc kid grabbed my crutches and ran off. I screamed at him and Two-Bit chased him to the corner. He beat him up and brought back my crutches. But I'm okay. Dont worry about me." I really wasnt okay. My leg was still killing me. "Maybe I should just move away," I said.
"NO!" The guys protested together.
"Why not? I'm sure it would be so much easier on you if you didnt have to look after the pathetic disabled girl!"
"'Cause we love you. You know that," Steve said. "We want to take care of you."
"Besides you know I couldnt live without you, Roxy," Two-Bit said as he came out of the kitchen and joined me on the couch. "You're my best friend and I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone but you." He kissed me before I had a chance to answer. It was soft and sweet. It ended too soon though. "Please dont tell me you still wanna leave," he begged. He looked so torn apart at even the idea of me leaving. I couldnt do that to Two-Bit. Ever.
"Fine. I wont leave. But I'm only staying for you, guys." They all nodded. Then fear suddenly washed over me. "But what if Kevin finds me? He's knows something's up since I havent been home for over a week now. He's gonna come looking for me sooner or later."
"Does he know where any of us live?" Soda asked.
"No way. Any of your houses is like a scantuary to me."
"Stay here as long as you need to," Pony said.
"Could I take him?" Darry asked.
"I'm sure you could. As long as you had Dallas to help you. And he wasnt drunk. Then yeah I think so." I imagined that. Or tried to really. But all I could imagine was Kevin winning then coming to hurt me. Suddenly that same helpless feeling I experienced when he left me for dead overcame me. I tried to shake the image from my mind but my imagination got the better of me.
Kevin was all of sudden right next to me. He put his arm around me. I whimpered. Tighter his grip got. "Dont touch me!" I screamed. I got up and tried to run. I fell. Damn leg! "Dont hurt me! Please dont hurt me!"
"Roxy! Roxy, honey? Its just me," Two-Bit coaxed bringing me out of my nightmare. Kevin wasnt there. Just the gang minus Dallas and Johnny. Two- Bit look really confused. Worried too. "Whats wrong, babe?"
"My imagination ran away with me. Thats all." My voice wavered. I was still scared. Two-Bit gently lifted me back up onto the couch.
"You're okay now," he whispered as he put his arm around me. I put my head and my hands on his chest. He kissed the top of my head softly. I felt safe again. I wonder how long this feeling of safety will last for though? I thought.
