Thanks to all my reviewers. I would tell you each individually, but it's late and Im lazy..lol..Thanks to all of you though.

Oh in the 1st chapter and maybe 2nd , Im unsure there was a POV problem. It shifted from 1st to 3rd without warning. Sorry bout that. This is the first story I have ever written in 1st person. Im used to 3rd. Thanks for keeping me in line though.

I know this one is short, but I had to make it that way for future purposes. Thanks for being patient!

Ch 3

"Did you just ask me if I had a problem with it?" he asked rounding on me. I knew I had stunned him. His mouth had been left slightly open after my words. The window to the truck was open so I reached in a grabbed a cigarette and a lighter and lit it up and began smoking. I had only smoked once in my life and hated it. I don't know why I was smoking now, but I sure was resisting the urge to cough my brains out.

"Yes. That's exactly what I said." I mused as I blew smoke at him. He cough slightly and fanned the smoke away.

"Number one, you don't smoke." he said, taking the bud and throwing it down and stomping it. "Number two, you don't talk back to me. And Number Three, You don't dress like a hooker and lie to your brothers. " He said glaring at me

"How do you know? It's not like you ever pay enough attention to me to know what I do and don't do." I scoffed as I shivered.

"Kid, " He began the word stinging and repeating over and over again in my head. " Your not like the rest of the girls here. Your different and I don't want to see you change. Kid," He had said it again.." when you turn like them, there's no going back. You have to be tough and there's no getting out of it." He tried to explain, while keeping calm. I knew what he wanted though and he wanted girls like that. If I was ever gonna get what I wanted , I had to give him what he wanted. And this is what he wanted.

"Whatever. Just take me home." I said, glaring at him. Hmm. Maybe I was gonna like this whole bad girl thing. It wasn't so bad.

"Get in the truck." He told me harshly. I climbed in and straightened my skirt before taking another cigarette and lighting up. Oooh..why did bad girls have to smoke. I finally, after smoking for 3 minutes, gave up on the whole smoking things. I coughed softly and tossed it out the window. Dally didn't even take a second look at me, but I was still determined.

"I aint gonna tell your brothers anything. You want them to know you tell them. I aint itching to get my head beat in." Dally said as we walked towards the house.

"Then don't." I said coolly. He shook his head at me and we walked in. Darry was sitting on the couch looking up at the door, that I had just entered.

"Where...what..." he stuttered, to many questions trying to come out at once. "What are you wearing?!?!" he asked standing up. He towered over me, by about 2 feet, but if I was gonna get Dallly like I wanted, I couldn't act scared, even though I was damn near shaking.

"It's called clothes Darry. We all wear them." I said smirking as I pushed past him. Dally still stood at the door, cautiously deciding whether to move or not. I took the hair-holder our of my hair and it fell into wavy wisps along my neck line.

"Where have you been? It is 12:30 and in case you didn't know your curfew is 11:00." He said glancing from Dally to me. "And what are you doing with Dally?" He asked, as a kind of after thought.

"I was at a party. I lost track of time and Mr. Stupid here brought me home." I said looking straight into Darry's eyes. Inside I was shaking. My heart was screaming 'Darry's gonna kill you.' But my brain was screaming 'do it for dally.' Normally I would have listened to my heart, but the two signals had become jumbled and I couldn't tell which was which. I had let my love for him get in the way of my judgement.

"This Party wouldn't be Buck's would it?" Darry asked, anger flashing in his eyes for a moment. I nodded, smirking.

"Dally? Did you take her?!" he asked rounding on Dally. I wasn't about to let Dally blab or let Darry yell at him.

"Don't you yell at him! No he didn't take me! No He didn't do anything, but bring me home, like the stupid ass he is." I said shaking with anger mixed with fear.

He turned back to me. "Kelly, I don't know what has come over you, but it better leave quickly. I don't know why you are wearing..that..but I better never see it again. Understood?" I looked at him.

"Understood?" he asked again. I thought about what a greasy girl would do before responding.

"Go to hell." I said simply as I gave him the finger and walked up to my room. Slamming the door, I leaned back against it and slid into the floor. I loved my brothers with all my heart, but if I was gonna convince Dally I had to did this all the way.
