Hey everybody. I was going to wait a while to update but I am in an
extremely good mood so I'm updating now. Enjoy....
Oh right,
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the outsiders. S.E. Hinton can have them, I only own Summer, Rain....da da da...
Warning: mild language in this chapter, not that there wasn't any in the other chapters, but there might be more swearing in this one. Just wanted to warn you....
Rain was making out with some guy that I didn't know on our couch. Jeez, first Darry now this guy? Will I never be able to sit on that couch ever again?
"Oh sorry" I said as I quickly walked to my room. I shut the door behind me.
I sat there on my bed for a while, thinking about what I was just witnessed to. Does this mean that Darry and Rain aren't a thing? I seriously don't know. I was about to step out to the living room to see if the unknown guy was gone, when Rain came into my room and shut the door.
"You cannot tell Darry about this, understood?" she said in an angry voice.
I don't know what she was angry about. I mean I didn't mean to run into her and guy together on our couch...She makes it sound like it was my fault that she was fooling around with a different guy when she was with Darry. It wasn't my fault that she's a whore!
"What the fuck are you yelling at me for? I'm not the one that's making out with another guy when she's already with someone!" I snapped. It really wasn't my fault. And I sure as hell wasn't going to be the one to tell Darry about this. He's just such a sweet guy and this will screw up everything.
"You're not considering the consequences of you're actions, Rain! I mean, do you know how much this will affect me? If I go to see Pony or something, it'll be so awkward to be around Darry! Did you ever think about that before whoring around?" I really was mad. God knows, Darry would even forbid Pony from seeing me.
"Watch the language. And don't get so mouthy. It was wrong.."
"Damn right it was wrong!" I cut her off.
"I know..." Rain said.
"Is the guy still here?" I asked, calming down a little.
"No, he left." She really sounded ashamed. But I dunno....she still did it!
"Is he from work?" I asked lighting up a bit.
"Yeah.."
"You gotta tell Darry you know".
"I know..hey look after Jake for a while k?"
Oh, Jake was there when she was making out with the guy too? Damn, she's just making it too hard to understand!
"Sure"
I heard Rain leave couple minutes later. I was still in shock. God! How could she do something like that?
I decided to check up on Jake. I walked towards his room and slowly opened the door. He was sound asleep on his bed with his favorite teddy bear, tucked under his arm. I pulled one of the blankets over him and left. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge door. Hmmm...I was hungry. I didn't eat much of what I cooked at the Curtis'.
See, I was also scared that if I eat too much that I might puke it out. So I try to stop myself from eating....so I usually end up eating nothing. I used to be anorexic. Well it all started when Rain binge and purged, because she thought she was so fat! When she basically looked like a supermodel. So, influenced by Rain, I thought I was fat too, so I started to binge and purge. The only reason I did though, besides thinking I was fat, was because I was in Irish Dance. And our coach would weigh us every week. One week he told me that I was about over a pound heavy than I should be, so I freaked. Every once in a while, I would totally pig out, but then puke it out afterwards. Besides all my friends did it. Well except Tara. She warned me that I would become anorexic and that I would have an eating disorder and stuff like that but I didn't listen. Soon I was doing it almost after every meal. My parents wouldn't notice because I would eat dinner, breakfast, or whatever it was; only I puked it out afterwards. I just lost a couple of pounds and maintained that weight for a while, but when I started to lose a lot, I stopped. At least I tried to. But I just couldn't. Either I wouldn't be able to hold anything down, or else I just couldn't eat. Because after getting where I wanted, I held myself back from eating. So then, I couldn't eat, or like I said, sometimes I would just automatically puke it out. And, so I told my parents about what I did, they took me to a lot of doctors and physiatrists (even though I didn't need to see one of those). They gave me a bunch of medicine and stuff and I got through it. Rain confessed too, and she also got through. But now I still can't eat a lot at a time. I still look anorexic and people constantly ask me if I am. But I think I'll just keep a secret from Pony for now. He already has enough stuff to worry about.
I made myself a sandwich and sat on the couch. I turned on the tv but as usual there was nothing good on, except the news and cartoons. I watched the news for a while, a girl was kidnapped from her own house and found raped and shot in a lot just out of Oklahoma. My hearth ached for her as I listened to her story. The poor girl forgot to lock her house door when she came home from school, and they just shot her, raped her, took valuables from the house, and took the body outside of Oklahoma, and just left her there. I felt sorry for her and suddenly scared. I got up immediately and locked the door which I guess Rain forgot to lock after she left. I went to check up on Jake. Sure enough, he was sleeping peacefully in his bed. I felt real sorry for him; I haven't really spent time with him for a while. But tomorrow will be our day. When Rain's working, I will take Jake wherever he wants to go...just not alone....I'm kinda scared now. Maybe Pony will come.
Just as I walked back to the living room, I noticed that somebody was trying to open our front door. I grabbed a baseball bat from the closet and slowly unlocked the door. The person turned the knob and opened the door. Just as I was about to speak I heard,
"Summer, what the hell are you doing?"
"Oh, it's just you" I sighed. It was just Rain. "You scared me out of my mind"
"Why?" Rain asked as she hung her coat in the closet.
"Um, I just watched this thing in the news about a girl that got kidnapped and shot and stuff...I just got a little scared." I walked towards the closet and threw the bat somewhere in there.
Rain chuckled. It wasn't that funny. I mean, somebody could really kidnap me! I shrugged it off.
"How'd it go with Darry?" I asked.
"Hmmm..fine I guess. He actually took it pretty well. We're still together."
"What?" I yelled.
"Shhh....I think Jake's sleeping. And yes, we are still together. And I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"But.."
"No"
"But.."
"I said no!" with that Rain walked to the living room with her peanut butter and jelly sandwich and turned on the tv.
I sat down on the couch next to her and stared blankly at the tv, something I always do. I look at the tv, but I don't really watch it, I just stare at it, and think about other stuff. This time I thought about Rain and Darry.
It was around 11 when I went to bed last night. I got up from my bed and walked towards my desk. Above my desk was a calendar hung on the wall. I looked at the date. In two days, school would be starting. I'm really dreading it. Despite all the effort I gave into trying to make myself believe that it'll be fun, new, and different, I still don't believe myself, it's going to be horrible. At least Pony will be there even though he'll be one grade higher than me. We'll probably eat lunch together; I'm definitely looking forward to that. I took a shower and went into the living room. Rain was already gone, to work, and Jake was sitting on the couch watching cartoons on tv. I sat down next to him.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked.
He didn't take his eyes off the tv.
"Hmm?" I tried to get him to say something but he was like addicted to the tv or something. "Jake?" I asked again.
Finally during commercials he started talking to me.
"Can we go out for ice cream?" I thought about it for a while. Where would I take him? I didn't really know any places here. I could ask Pony to come...there's an idea. I got up and walked over to the phone. I called Pony's house, and Soda answered.
"Hey Soda. This is Summer."
"Hey Summer!" he sounded mighty jolly.
"Why so happy? Date go well?" I asked remembering his date with Karlei.
"Yup, very well."
"That's good." I said. I was happy for him. After hearing what happened with him and Sandy, I think it was, I was very sad for him. But now he seemed so happy.
"Did you want to talk to Pony?"
"Yes please."
"Hello" God, I love hearing his voice.
"Hey Pon. It's Summer."
"I know no one else has a voice as beautiful as yours."
I was literally speechless. He was always so sweet like that. I giggled.
"Thanks Pon. Hey, I promised Jake that I would do whatever he wants to do today, and well he wants ice cream...and I don't really know any ice cream places around here.."
"I'll take you guys, no problem." He offered.
"Thanks a lot that would be great. So, come over around 2?"
"Sure, see you then." He said, and we hung up.
I couldn't wait till 2. It would be so much fun. I sat down with Jake on the couch for a while and watched Mickey Mouse. When the 5th Mickey Mouse episode that Jake watched with an undivided attention was over, I got up and walked to the kitchen. It was around 12. I suddenly realized how hungry I was. I bet Jake is too.
"Want some breakfast Jake?" I hollered.
"Yes please" he said back.
I took eggs and milk out of the refrigerator. Jake likes his eggs hard and I like mine in an omelet. Rain likes them in an egg sandwich. I cooked the eggs and placed 2 plates and 2 forks on the bar.
"Food's ready Jake" I called out.
He was sitting at the bar, shoving the food in his mouth in a second.
"Whoa, slow down there sport. We got all the time in the world."
"Really?" he asked.
"No sport, it's just a figure of speech." I laughed.
He shrugged and went back to shoving the food in his mouth. Why don't they ever listen? I laughed again.
When we were done eating, I cleaned up and went into my room to change into something, sexy but not too hot. After all Jake would be there. I was storming through my closet when Jake came into my room and told me that Pony was on the phone. I went into the kitchen and picked up the phone. Pony said that there was an end of the summer carnival and asked if we wanted to go that. Of course Jake got hyped up and started jumping up and down around the house, out of excitement. I told Pony to get here as soon as possible or else I just might lose my mind. He laughed and said that he couldn't wait to see me anyway. I laughed too and said that I felt the same way. We hung up and I ran to my room because I told Pony to come sooner and I already didn't have time to get ready as it is. I picked out the perfect outfit. A red leather mini skirt, that wasn't too short...I guess. A black glittery tank top and a sweater over it. I also wore my old boots. I mean they aren't old, but not as new as the ones I just got. I think I looked pretty damn cute. I went into the living room to see that Pony was already sitting on the couch watching Mickey with Jake. Jesus, how many times is that thing on a day?
"Hey" Pony said looking up. He studied me up and down. I think he was pleased with what he saw cuz he broke into a huge smile.
"Hi" I said, with a smile on my face. "Ready?"
"Yup. Let's go." Pony said as he lifted up Jake on his back. Gosh he was so sweet. I think that a lot. I think I mighta found my perfect guy. He's still hurt too....I suddenly remembered his back.
"Pony, you don't have to" I said quickly.
"No it's fine, it don't hurt no more." I laughed unsurely.
I locked the door behind us, and we left for the end-of-the-summer carnival.

Alright, that's enough. I had 4 tests in a row this week, and tennis and b- ball practice every night, and I haven't gotten any sleep at all. I'm really cranky, and if I don't stop writing, this story might take an awkward turn, so I'm going to bed. But before I ago, here's my thank-you's for the ones who reviewed and always do. I luv you guys, ur great. Plz keep on reviewing.
Ponyboysgirl1: Ok, well there's a lot to thank you for, so I'm just going to over all say THANK YOU. You're the most constant reviewer. Lol, you review every chapter, (aside with some other people) and you always say such great stuff, so thank you so much. You're great. I will try to update sooner, but you know about my evil teachers. But this week was the final test week, so there will be no more tests this fallowing week, which should be good, cuz then I can update fast. I hope you update urs too; it is really good, much better than mine ;)
Dally's my hero: thank you, it makes me feel special to know that. You're great too, keep on reading.
Tensleep: lol, thank you. It's always better to have more readers. I did have a lot of ideas from my friends and such that read my story but most of them were mine, so thanx. Keep on reading. Typing this chapter was so hard, probably cuz of all the written tests I had to do. My hands are so numb.
Amanz: I don't know why it's so addictive it just is, but I don't think my story has any impact on the website being good, thanx a lot though.
Laura: you are so mean! And dead, ha ha ha! Triple ha's, lol, good times, thanx for reading.
JJ: fine, fine, fine.because of all the good reviews that I got I won't give up, Jenito, lol, thanx.
Naria4: Don't worry; I decided not to give up. Lol, I got some great ideas from friends and some my own, so I think I'll keep on writing, and I will do my best to update sooner. It just took long this last couple of weeks, cuz I had a lot of end of the semester tests. That sucked, but I got through it, and now with the winter break coming up, I will be able to update twice as fast. Thanx, and keep on reviewing.
Shannon: Rain's not going to hit Summer, well not like hard, but you know sister fights. Because Rain is based on my older sister, and my older sister and I get into fights sometimes (sometimes, yeah right, more like all the time), they will/might get into fights but not where Rain would ever hit Summer. Lol, it's a thought though, it's ok to think she might, I do kinda make her sound really mean.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY!
Oh right,
