Chapter 6- Going Home and Needing a Home - Jenny's POV

I finally stopped myself from crying, after what seamed like forever. I dried my eyes with a brown paper towel from the dispenser, then walked out of the bathroom.

" Hey! Jenny, where have you been? We were looking all over for you. It's been 15 minutes, I thought that all you had to do was get cleaned up sweetie?" Ponyboy asked me taking my two hands in his.

" I know, I'm sorry I'm just a little tired. I think that I just spaced out for a while. Sorry." I said in a small voice.

" It's alright, I was just worried that's all." he said. Steve, Soda, and Pony and I all were walking out to the car, and Pony was limping slightly, because of his injury. Soda and Steve both helped Pony get into the car, and Pony and I sat in the back while Steve sat in the passengers side, and Soda cautiously drove, which was a surprise for Soda, because he usually drove crazy!

I sighed and held Pony's hand tightly. I was scared. Scared of what though? I wasn't really sure. Maybe the socs who had jumped us. And I was scared because I didn't even know what they had done to me. I had painful marked and bruises all over me. I was thinking that maybe the bruises were from how rough the socs had been with me, they were trying to hold me down and I was trying to get away.

I wanted to talk to Pony about all of this so badly. All of these questions were running through my head, and I had nobody to talk to. I knew that when Darry got home from work that we would all have to sit down and talk about it, but I didn't want to. And Darry would probably call Cherry and ask her to come over, and it was be one big disaster that I didn't want to have to go through. Then Cherry would probably tell our parents, and my mom and dad already disapproved of Ponyboy. What would they think now? I hated all of this!

I pulled down my shirt slightly, because I couldn't risk Ponyboy seeing my scars. He can't fin out. I can't lose him. Soda and Steve were in a deep conversation about a girl that Steve liked, but she was a soc. Like me, and Pony was no less than me in my eyes. It wasn't fair. Not at all. Steve was a good guy. He didn't deserve for some girl to not want him just because he wasn't rich. I really wished that things weren't like thus. There shouldn't be a separation in people just because of money.



" You okay?" Pony asked interrupting my thoughts. He said it in a whisper so Soda and Steve wouldn't hear, but they weren't listening anyways.

" Yeah. I'm sorry Pony. I'm just a little tired." I said quietly.

" Do you want to go home?" he asked me.

" No! Not at all. I want to stay with you. I promise that I'm fine. I really want to be with you. Please?" I asked. I knew that Pony was worried about me, and I didn't blame him. I was a mess! I knew that he wanted me to go home and get some sleep to get my mind off things, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to leave him.

" Baby, please.. you hardly slept at all last night, you were to busy watching over me." he said smiling.

" I'll sleep at your house. I will, I promise. I won't be in the way at all." I said.

" Jenny, it doesn't have anything to do with you getting in the way, because you don't get in the way, ever. Don't ever think that either. We all love having you over. I'm just worried that the guys will be to loud and that you won't be able to sleep." he said sweetly.

" I will Pony. They won't be loud." I begged him. For some reason, I just didn't want to leave him.

" Okay. But promise me that you'll get some sleep?" he asked giving me a kiss on the cheek. I nodded, then I looked over at Steve, and for the first time he looked like he was jealous of Pony. Then it occurred to me; he wanted that soc girl, but she thought he was trash. I didn't even know the girl, but I hated her. Anyone would be lucky to get people like Steve, Darry, Soda, and Two-bit. They are all the best available guys in town.

We pulled up to Pony's front yard. Again, Soda and Steve helped a limping Ponyboy into the house. I told them that I would help settle Pony down into his room. Soda and Steve went into the living room to watch TV. Before Soda left, he told me that I was welcomed to stay as long as I want. We still had a week of school left before summer vacation, and I was debating whether to go or not. I didn't want to have to face Jason and the rest of the guys who had jumped us. Pony probably wasn't going to go, and I didn't want to go without him. Besides, all we had left was the end of the year carnival, and Pony and I were only freshman in High School. We still had three more years to go to the carnival.

" You feeling alright?" he asked me for what seamed like the 20th time today. I must really be out of it.

" Yeah, I am actually feeling a little bit better." I said smiling.

" How about you?" I asked.

" I am feeling better too, now that I'm home. Hey, there is a t-shirt in my 2nd drawer if you want a clean shirt, and there is also some sweatpants in the bottom one. You'd be more comfortable." he suggested.

I smiled and got off of his bed that we were both sitting on.

" Okay." I said gigging slightly.

Sure enough, there was exactly what Pony had said in the drawers. I took both articles of clothing out.

" Umm.. I'm going to change in the bathroom." I said. I went into the bathroom, and I washed some of my cuts off so that they didn't look quite as bad. Then, I through of Pony's clothes. I saw a comb, and I brushed my hair out till all the curls were gone.

" Hey..." I said walking back into the room, and quietly, I closed the door. I sat on the bed beside Pony.

" You look nice." he said smiling.

" Yeah right! I have no make-up on, and my hair is a mess. And.. these clothes are just.. yuck!" I said winking.

" Is there something wrong with my clothes?" he asked.

" No.. not on you, but on me.. they don't look so good." I said.

" You look beautiful." He said as he gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. Then he leaned in and kissed me. I knew that if Soda walked in right now we would be in trouble, but I didn't care, and obviously Pony didn't care either. We were in a moment, and nothing could stop it. We just sat there kissing each other for a few minutes, and finally I pulled away.

" You need to get some sleep." I said.

" So do you." he said smiling.

Before I even knew it Pony gently put my head down on his pillow, and we both fell fast asleep.

I knew that it was a mistake to sleep in the same bed as Pony when Darry came in, but for some reason I didn't care, I was just to tired. I was half asleep and also half awake. He looked really mad, and he was about to yell something, but just then Soda came in. And they were both standing over the bed.

" No! Darry, they have been through a lot in the past couple days. They're both hurt physically and mentally, all they want right now is each other... come on.. leave em alone." Soda pleaded with Darry.

I drifted off to sleep, I guess that Darry must have listened to Soda, since Pony and I both slept until we heard the phone ring.

I stood up and heard Darry talking to someone. I looked at the clock and it was 6:07 PM! We slept for about 10 hours! Pony stood up and stood by the door to listen too.

" Yeah.. I'm sorry.. uh huh... Their both sleeping.... okay... I'm sure... yeah... it's fine... I am positive. We'd love to. Okay? Alright? Thanks Cherry.. I will.. bye." Darry said.

" I wonder what that was about?" I asked out loud.

" I dunno... lets go find out.." Pony said opening the door.

Darry was standing in the kitchen, and Soda, Steve, and Two-bit were all sitting around the coffee table playing poker.

" Was that Cherry?" Pony asked for me as we stood next to Darry.

" Yeah... it was, look Jenny you have an aunt that is very sick, in New York. Cherry went to go take care of her, since she is a widow. Also, your parents aren't going to be home for another 2 months." Darry said softly.

" 2 months?" I asked shocked. " But, it was only supposed to be a month more... and then.. their going to... umm." I stuttered dumbly. I think I was in shock.

" I know, but Cherry said that she received a letter, since they can't be reached by phone, and they said that it wouldn't be till about two or two and a half months. And depending on how your aunt is, Cherry doesn't know how long she'll be either.

I was so shocked. Wait a minute... where am I going to live?

TBC...
