~*~*~Two Days Later and in Stevie's P.O.V.~*~*~
I sat outside my house, a cd player (*one of the small one*) on my knee, the ear phones blasting music into my ears.
Avril Levigne was playing:
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my Lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything
But ordinary, Please!!!
(*I don't own Avril Levigne or her songs*)
The song went on, and I found myself singing the lyrics out loud. It's a VERY good stress reliever.
I closed my eyes, blocking the outside world from my perfect inside one. I let the music sink into my soul.
~*~*~*~*~*~ PonyBoy's P.O.V ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I went to a movie, trying to get my mind off everything. When I got out, I started walking home, only to find a group of Socs behind me.
"Shit." I mumbled softly. Damn! This isn't fair!
I Started walking faster. They decided to follow, and I ran into a nearby alley. Which was stupid on my part, Socs always are near the alleys.
I stopped, seeing no escape. They closed in, and I threw a couple punches, and kicked a few of them in the face. They laughed, slightly, before throwing me onto the ground.
"What do you want?" I asked, brushing off my hands.
"I saw you with Stevie Wolf the other day. Bring her to me on April the 22nd. If you don't, I'll hunt you down and slit that throat of yours." The leader replied, as I hastily got up.
"What do you need her for?" I asked.
"Pay Back." He replied.

I feel so smart, so talented, so loved. Yeah, my name is Stevie. It's amazing, isn't it? What will PonyBoy do? Will he get the gang involved? Will Stevie get hurt? What does Stevie have to hide? And why are the Socs after her?
~*~*Loud Dun Dun Dun sound*~*~
I was supposed to cue that to the "You have to wait for the next chapter." But since the sound came on, you get more. *~slaps Cat~* She can't do anything right.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
I rushed home, eager to get out of the Alley. I was going to tell the gang. They could help Me, and Stevie. Gosh, what have I gotten myself into?
I ran into Johnny in the lot. My face was flushed, I was cold, and I was worried.
"Johnny.I got involved.with the Socs..and Stevie." I mumbled the words, while trying to figure out how to tell him.
Johnny just looked at me. "Stevie? The one that slashed Dally right?" Johnny had been upset with her. He idolized Dally.
I nodded, my hair pushing into my eyes. "Yeah. She got herself into trouble with the Socs. They want me to get her to them. But I don't think I could deceive her like that. I really can't."
I felt the hot tears rise into my eyes. "It just isn't fair. Why do we get all the hard breaks?"
I only had Soda's sweatshirt on, and I shivered slightly. "Johnny?"
"Yeah PonyBoy?" Johnny mumbled.
"What am I gunna do?" I moaned softly.
Johnny was there for me. We understood each other perfectly, and he knew how I felt about Stevie.
"I don't know Pony. I just don't know. Isn't there anywhere where there aren't sides? Where we wouldn't get jumped, or threatened everyday?" Johnny asked.
I smiled slightly. "The country is like that."
I started mumbling about the country, and thinking about my mom and my dad.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
I woke up to Johnny shaking me. "Git off of me." I mumbled softly.
"PonyBoy, we fell asleep in the lot. Come on, get up!!" Johnny pushed me again.
I blinked, trying to think. That's right, we were trying to help Stevie. "Come on, Let's go tell Darry." I replied groggily.
Johnny shook his head. "Naw. I'll just stay out here." He curled up in a ball, lying on a couch that someone had thrown out.
I ran home, opening the gate, and peering into the window. Darry was sitting in his chair, and Soda was asleep on the couch.
I opened the door, and smiled sheepishly at Darry. "I was." But I didn't get to finish, because Darry was screaming.
"Where the hell have you been? Do you know what ime it is?" He was madder than I'd seen him in a long time. I shook my head wordlessly.
"Well, It's two in the morning, Kiddo. Another hour and I would ave had the police out after you. Where were you PonyBoy?-his voice was rising-"Where in the damn universe were you?"
It sounded dumb, even to me, when I stammered, "I went to sleep in the lot."
"You What?" Darry was shouting, and Sodapop sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Hey PonyBoy," he said sleepily, "Where ya been?"
I shook my head. "I didn't mean to." I pleaded with Darry. "I was talking to Johnny and we both dropped off...""
"I reckon it never occurred to you that your brothers might be worrying their heads off and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you two thrown in a boys' home so quick it'd make your head spin. And you were asleep in the lot? Ponyboy, what on earth is the matter with you? Can't you use your head? You haven't even got a coat on."
"Darry." Sodapop began, but Darry turned on him.
"You keep your trap shut! I'm sick and tired of hearin' you stick up for him."
He should never yell at Soda. Nobody should ever holler at my brother. I exploded. "You don't yell at him." I shouted.
Darry wheeled around and slapped me so hard that it knocked me against the door.
It was dead quiet. I had never been hit before. I turned and ran.
"PonyBoy, I didn't mean to." Darry yelled.
I pretended not to hear him, and raced for the lot, tears stinging my eyes.
"Johnny, Come on, We're running away."
