A/N: Hey guys. Im sorry this is such a corny story but. Im bored and needed a new project.
**Soda's POV**
"Steve. Hey buddy. Deciding to skip school?"
"Listen. I know you hate Lez but, she's kinda in trouble right now. Help her?"
"Urgh. What's wrong?"
"Some guy is at the school after her. He just started offering people money to find her. I think her so called friends are turning on her."
"Ok fine." I ran to the school with Steve. A guy was dragging out Lez who was thrashing around.
"Let me go!" She screamed. She looked at me. Her eyes were full of sorriness and hurt.
"Soda," she cried.
I ran over to her. "What the hell do you think you're doing," I asked getting in his way.
"Step aside kid. This is official buiness. She's just testy."
Steve ran behind him and grabbed his arms. He kicked him in the back of the shin. He yelped in pain and dropped her.
"Ouch," she complained. I grabbed her hand and we ran into the school together. I knew where her homeroom was and walked her there. Her teacher was taking roll call.
"I'm sorry she's late. We had some family issues requiring her presence."
The teacher nodded and told her to have a seat. I walked out of the room to the principal's office. I asked to call Darry.
"Some guy was outside attacking my, uh, sister."
"I'll notify the police. You go ahead and call your brother."
**Lez's POV**
A.J. passed me a note. It read: I wasn't gonna turn you over to that creep.
I wrote back: Sure. You Jerk.
Him: I really wasn't!
Me: That's not what Kevin said.
Him: Oh what. So know you'd trust him with you're life all cause he let you crash at his house one lousy night?
Me: No. I'm just so confused. I didn't know who to trust. It's just when he said me or money I figured...
Him: It's ok. See you next period.
"Aaron Dohnson." He looked up.
"I've called your name five times. You and you girlfriend must be having a party back there."
I laughed till I realized she was talking about me too. "Hey!"
Everyone laughed and the bell rang. I walked into the hall and Ponyboy stopped me.
"Look," he nodded towards Darry who was walking towards us.
"Come on you two."
We walked into the principal's office and Soda and a police officer was there.I realized what was going on and shuddered.
"Officer Briggs," he said flashing a badge. He smiled warmly me. It made me feel a bit better. "Sit. Please."
We all sat. Ponyboy was confused.
**Ponyboy's POV**
"What's going on?" I asked. I realized and said oh. I took out a flier that the guy had handed to me and handed it to Officer Briggs.
"Maybe this'll help."
"Thanks," he said reading it over. "Perfect. Gives the name, number, and address."
Lez looked at Soda as if she was going to cry. He stood up.
"What?" I asked.
Lez stood up and they hugged. "I'm sorry. I was such a jerk," she whispered.
"Should I even ask?" Officer Briggs questioned.
"Oh, they got into a fight. She thought he hated her," I answered.
They sat back down.
Officer Briggs looked at Darry. "We'll check this out." He waved the paper. "In the meantime, keep her either in the house or make sure someones with her at all times."
She started crying. I put a hand on her shoulder.
"If it helps. He whispered to me that he's my mother's killer. She was murdered a little over a month ago. I witnessed the whole thing."
"Hm. That does help. Thanks." He stood up. "Take my advice about watching her and you should be fine."
He gave Darry a piece of paper. "Anything suspicious, call me."
Darry stood up too. "Think too be safe I should keep her at home? I mean today."
"Today's a good idea. But you can't keep her bottled up forever."
"Ok. Come Lez. Grab you're stuff."
"But. But i'm in school. Nothing's gonna happen here!"
"Something just happened didn't it?"
She sighed. "What if I leave for half the day and come back the last half?"
He sighed and looked at her.
"Oh come on Darry. Officer wouldn't you agree it's not exactly safe at home by myself."
"I'll take the rest of the day off."
"It'd be like being there alone. Just let me stay with Soda awhile and if he thinks it's a good idea I'll come back."
I looked at Darry. "She's right you know," I told him.
**Lez's POV**
"Fine. Go with Soda. Wait at least two hours. Come back at the end of fifth right before lunch. Got it?"
"Yes sir," I said saluting.
He sighed. "You know what. Just stay here."
"Yay!" I said in my mind.
"Thanks Darry."
Pony and I went to class and Soda and Darry went back to work. At lunch I was half asleep and hadn't bought a lunch. My head was resting on the table and my eyes were shut.
"Hey prep. Wake up and eat," A.J. told me.
"Hrm," I grumbled.
He felt my forehead and I sat up. I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. His fingertips started turning purple and I let go. I resumed my tired position.
"I'm really sick of people doing that."
"Sorry. Are you feeling ok?"
I raised my head and looked at him. I stood up and walked over to the table where Ponyboy was sitting. I sat down.
"I wanna go home."
He put an arm around me. "You look kinda sick," he felt my forehead. "You feel like u gotta fever. I'll walk you to the office and we can call Darry ok?"
"Mmhmm."
He helped me up and we walked to the office together. We called Darry and he was at the school in a short while. I left and the rest of the day we sat on the couch and watched tv together. I fell asleep halfway through a Mickey Mouse show.
**Darry's POV**
Soda and Ponyboy walked in.
"Sheesh. Wore the poor kid out!" Soda said looking at Lez alseep with her head in my lap.
"No. We were just watching tv."
I stood up. "I'm gonna make dinner now."
An hour later when dinner was ready I woke up Lez.
"Come on Lez. Dinner."
"Mhmm. Be there... never."
"Come on Lez you gotta eat."
"Nuh uh. I'm sickish."
"Get your ass up and eat."
She sluggishly got up.
"I'm going to bed," she said after she'd eaten a few bites.
"Eat more first."
"No. To tired."
"You've already have three hours of sleep."
"So what?"
"Just eat Lez."
She got up and walked to the bathroom.
"I'm tired!" She yelled.
"What's the bathroom got to do with being tired?" Pony asked.
She sat on the floor. "Nothing." She sighed. She got back up and walked to her room.
**Lez's POV**
I locked the door and laid on the bed.
"Lez?"
"Yeah."
"Open up for me? Please baby."
I walked to the door and unlocked it for Sodapop. Then I closed and locked it again.
"What's up? Why aren't you eating? Why are you making yourself throw up? Who was that guy today? Who-"
"Please stop talking I've run out of asprin. First off, Nothing's up. Second, I'm just not hungry today. I'm so, shaken. Third, I don't make myself throw up. If I decide to be nice I'll explain later. Last, I only know he killed my mother."
"What do you mean-"
"Soda, I really don't know what I mean. Please just, go away."
He put an arm around me. "I don't know what's wrong. You've been so, hostile lately."
"Hostile!" I stood up and yelled. "I've been hostile? No Soda, I've been scared beyond fucking wits!"
The doorbell rang. I answered it leaving Soda alone in my room.
"Was walking by your house and heard yelling. Having those family issues again?" Kevin asked.
I stepped out onto the porch and we sat on a step. I put my head on his shoulder.
"Can I crash at you house again? Please?" I looked into his eyes. "Please?"
"Go inside and grab some stuff. You can say you fell asleep at A.J.'s or my house."
"Gotcha," I said walking inside.
"Darry?"
"Yeah babe?"
"Can hang out at A.J.'s for awhile?"
"Go as long as you want. It's a Friday night."
"Thanks Darry," I said grabbing some stuff from my room.
I walked outside to Kevin. We went to A.J.'s and all the guys were there.
"Hey guys, Lez came out to play!"
"Hell yeah! Came out to play I'm here to stay!"
A/N: Hey guys. Im sorry this is such a corny story but. Im bored and needed a new project.
