Title:
This Lullaby
Rating:
PG-13 for cursing really, and some sexual content
Summary:
An all girl rock band moves to Tulsa to try and get their big shot at
success. You know of course that people are going to get together,
mostly a Dally and whoever girl he ends up with fic. Just because
he's my favorite.
Disclaimer:I do not own The Outsiders. But I do own my original characters,
and
the bands name. I also don't own the song that I'm saying Stephanie's
dad wrote, that is from a kinda sad book by Sarah Dessen called This
Lullaby. Otherwise everything is mine.
Chapter 1:The Seventh Circle of Hell.
"We don't have anymore food!" Amanda yelled from our extremely small kitchen.
"Well maybe if you stopped eating so much we would!" Belle, who was sitting on the completely and totally beat up sofa tuning my guitar, that she used, yelled back.
"Excuse me? Are you saying I'm fat?" Amanda had now stomped her way into what I guess would be a living room.
"Not saying it, I'm telling you!" Belle stood up now, her tiny purple polished fingers wrapped around the neck of my 400 dollar Dean guitar.
"Stop fighting! I am trying to sleep!" the last member of our group, Sage, yelled from one of the two bedrooms we had. She bunked with Belle, and Amanda and I shared the other one.
Belle rolled her eyes, and Amanda shot her middle finger up while retreating back to the kitchen.
Sage shut her door and everything was quiet, for the moment. A few seconds later Amanda came back out of the kitchen.
"What are we going to do about dinner?" she asked.
"Why don't we go and find a diner?" I suggested, shifting in the seat of my drum kit.
"With what money Stephanie?" Sage had given up on her "beauty rest" and sat next to Belle on the mustard yellow sofa.
"I have 30 bucks left, which means we're gonna have to get jobs, all of us." I told them strictly.
"I can't believed I dropped out of school for this," Belle muttered.
"C'mon guys everything is gonna work out. We just need to wait out, and when we hit it big, we'll have everything!" Amanda brightly spoke.
We all sat there for a second and imagined what it would be like. What it will be like.
We headed for the diner after getting dressed. We had another small argument over who was wearing who's pantyhose, but we got it together. We only had one problem. We didn't know where the nearest place the eat was, but we did know it was called the Dingo or something stupid like that. We saw a group of boys up ahead and decided to ask them.
"You guys go I'll stay right here," I told them.
"Okay," they said in unison and headed over to the boys.
We sure did look like strange bunch, and at first you probably wouldn't realize we were all together.
Belle Williams was the youngest. She had straight, shiny, blond hair. And the lightest blue eyes you'd think they were silver. She was absolutely gorgeous, like a model. She was big on the alcohol though. Mostly vodka, and dessert wines. I mean we all had a few drinks once in awhile. But if we weren't there for Belle we knew she would be an alcoholic. Which doesn't surprise us since her dad was an alcoholic, and got pretty violent. Usually towards her mom though.
Amanda Devon by far was the strangest of us all. She had jet black, straight, layered hair, with shocking blue tips. She had about a dozen piercings. Four in each ear, one in her tongue, her belly button, and her favorite an industrial piercing in her left ear. Amanda had beautiful blue eyes with specks of yellow in them. She was loud, crazy, and loved to party. But loved to sleep around even more. Amanda's mom left when she was a baby and her older sister pretty much raised her. The only way her sister could afford anything was by becoming a prostitute, it was only natural Amanda did the same. Just she didn't charge any money.
Sage Porter was probably the luckiest one out of all of us. Her parents were normal, and so was she. She had a normal life, with a normal family, and a normal house. Her hair was a sandy blond and she always curled a few sections of it and kept sections in between her curls straight. She did however have hot pink, neon orange, and lime green streaks scattered around her head but she could pull it off in a cute way. Sage just gave that cutesy feeling off. She was by far the softest, yet grouchiest.
Then you have me Stephanie Hazen. I'm nothing special to look at, light brown curly hair, hazel-green eyes. Nice body, sorta. I considered myself the mother of my little group. I pretty much grew myself up, since my dad left us. He was a musician too and wrote a song for me. I have the song and when no ones around I listen to it, over and over until I fall asleep, or cry. But I try not to think about that.
"It's just down the street," Belle informed when they headed back over to me.
"Those boys were fine!" Amanda bit her bottom lip.
"You think everything with a penis is fine." Sage pointed out.
"Don't get mouthy," Amanda shot her a glare.
"Guys can we please go eat!" I started walking as my stomach grumbled and they followed.
Not even five seconds at The Dingo and Amanda had successfully picked up two boys. Sodapop Curtis, and Steve Randle.
"So you girls just moved here?" Steve asked, his eyes on Amanda the whole time.
"Yeah. We're in a band," Sage informed him.
"Really? What's it called?" Soda asked.
"We don't really know yet, we can't decide between Acid Roses, or Bloody Mary's. I personally like Acid Roses better." I told them between bites of my cheeseburger.
"I do too," Soda said looking into my eyes. He was cute, but not my type, so I just smiled and turned my attention back to the burger.
"I suggested Bloody Mary's," Amanda told Steve.
"Well then I like it," he smiled at her, and slowly wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"You want to come back to my..err..our place?"
"I'd lo-" Steve started.
But I interrupted, "He can't."
"What? Why not?" Amanda whined.
"Because we have to get up early tomorrow, and I really don't need to hear that bed of your squeak all night!" I spoke matter-of-factly.
Steve and Soda did all their best to hold back their chuckles.
"Why do we have to get up early?" Belle stared at me.
"To look for jobs," I smiled brightly at their agonized faces.
Sooooooo how is it? Please review and feel free to give suggestions and criticism, and yeah I'm not the greatest speller in the world. Chapter 2: The Hunt, coming soon
